    First thing that comes to mind...Amazing! It was our first time at McCormick and we absolutely loved it. It was early, so we ordered a freshly squeezed orange juice. Ordered 2 of each of their oysters and they were top notch! Fresh and delicious. Plus their baked scallops and crab cake. Now, let's talk about their cake!! THE BEST I HAVE EVER HAD. I mean, the crab meat is evidently fresh. It was well balanced and most importantly... no shells!! I don't remember the last time I had a crab cake and I didn't bite into a piece of shell. McCormick's crab cakes are just pleasant and delicious to eat. The rest of our meals stood to the standard of everything else we had eaten. Shrimp scampi's sauce didn't lie... it was made with good quality wine and you can taste it... and since we couldn't get enough of their crab cake, well, we ordered a crab cake sandwich! At this point I'm just looking forward to our return to AC and revisit McCormick and Schmicks!

    Great ambiance. I loved the vibe. Made reservation was seated immediately in a private dining area for me and someone special. Our waiter Miguel was real personable and funny…We had the salmon stuffed with crab and shrimp…It was good and so was our desert options. I will recommend!

    It was frist time eating at this restaurant. The food was great and service was good. I will recommend for family and date events when you are going to Harrah's Resort in AC.

    I knew it was a roll of the dice if this place was going to be good based on the reviews but no other seafood places had reservations open, even on a Tuesday night. We just ordered entrees, no apps or desserts. They serve you warm sourdough with butter which was good. However, both myself and my friend felt sick after eating. I nearly threw up and she was on the toilet all night. I ordered the crab cakes and they were ok but nowhere near excellent. They needed lemon juice and were loaded with Mayo. The mashed potatoes and green beans were bland and honestly not worth finishing. My friend barely ate her fish and chips. We spent $91 for subpar food. The service was OK but nothing great either. I would go here again as a last resort since we were staying at Harrah’s with no car but suggest you go anywhere else if you can. I hear dock oysters is good. Side note, it was so dark I had to use my phone to see the menu. Normally not a problem for me but wanted to mention it. Edit: I reached out to the restaurant, per their request below, and have not received a response. It’s been 3 weeks. This is the kind of service you can expect here.

    The lobster tail I ordered was cold and hard. The drinks and appetizer was good. The shrimp scampi was hot but only tasted like wine. It was not cooked through. I would not recommend this for the price they charge. Red lobster is way better than this.

    I found my recent visit to McCormick’s to be quite disappointing. Despite a substantial bill of $400 for our dinner, which I don't mind paying for a great meal, the service left much to be desired. Specifically, I had ordered the ribeye for our table and kindly asked our server if they could slice it for us, but their response was a straightforward NO, which took me by surprise. Furthermore, it seemed that the tables were not properly cleaned between courses, leaving us to dine on a dirty surface with crumbs all over the table. The cleanliness of the restroom was also far from acceptable. Additionally, the quality of the food fell short of my expectations, and the drinks didnt leave much to be desired. Regrettably, I do not plan to return to this establishment in the future based on this experience. I would recommend going to Chart House, Docks Oysters, or Ruth Chris for a much better experience.

    Atlantic City night 2 was a little disappointing. Our server, Aaron was great and attentive, but that was about it. One perk of the restaurant is that they were they only place in the hotel that served Coke products, everywhere else was Pepsi. The bread left something to be desired. The lobster bisque was delicious, i would definitely recommend. The flatbread had a good crunch, but it was a little too much arugula for my preference. One of our dishes Salmon stuffed with shrimp and crab was good, but the portion size was small. I was expecting large shrimp instead of the baby shrimp. The other dish was the seafood linguine. I was initially very excited about the dish, but soon that changed to disappointment as I realized how Spicy it was. Savory not spicy was not mentioned in the menu. I can handle spicy, but it was too much for me to stomach, so please be warned when ordering this dish. The side of asparagus I ordered had no seasoning. I hate using table salt, but there was no other way to eat it. All in all, I expected more.

    Food was excellent. Oysters are top notch. Server was attentive even as he was really busy. The only complaint I do have is that my steak was not as warm / hot as it should have been. I did eat it because I didn't want to wait for a new one to be cooked.

    Food was delicious. Our entrees were Herb Grilled Chicken with Mashed Potatoes and green beans and Filet with Truffle Frites. Desserts were the Apple Pie with Cinnamon Ice Cream and Crème Brûlée. Wait staff was friendly and attentive. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal.

    Very nice place with great service. They bake own bread, which is very delicious. Food is very delicious. For vegeterian there are not that many options, but they have very good salads and sidings. I had a salad and that was enough for me. The food portions are good (not too big but not small). If you looking for cozi and romantic dinner, this is a good place to go. It's quiet inside and distance between table is big enough that another table will not hear what you are talking about. They also have cabins (separated by walls sections with seats).

    This place is a must, to stop and get a meal. My fiance and i,had a dinner here. The place was full of patrons and some had made reservations. We were lucky enough to get a table without reservations and the waiter was patient as well as attentive. There were some people, who sat behind our booth and were a bit raunchy and loud. He respectfully asked if we wanted a new table. But we didn't mind, and declined. We had some hot bread with butter,it melted in our mouth. She had the Salmon &I had the black Angus steak medium. Cooked booth to perfection, and we polished off two bottles of wine, for around $154. Great price,great food,service and a place we will visit again!

    One of the best seafood restaurants in Atlantic City, went for the swordfish with spinach, mushrooms and bacon which inspired me to make the same thing, with a few differences. Had the apple pie which has lots of cinnamon, wish the scoop of ice cream was bigger. Oysters are good too,, ate the ones from CT and NJ which represented the places I stayed during my vacation last week.. Great service, good wine lists and has an ambient, energetic vibe.

    The service was perfect and the food was delicious... really well prepared. My spouse had the fish tacos and they had a killer crunch and I had the clams. The sauce was so good I nearly drank it! My mimosa was made with fresh orange juice too. Very pleasantly surprised for a chain in a casino 🤑

  • 5/5 eric m. 11 months ago on Google
    Eaten here on more than a few occasions. My go to dish is always the bone-in ribeye either with fries or mash potatoes. A little pricey but in my opinion worth it. Drinks are made good they aren't watered down. Always great service. The only problem is the light it's pretty dark. Makes it hard to read the menu. Lots of tables with the cell phone camera light on to see the menu.

    McBride was AWESOME! So awesome, we went in back to back nights to see him! First night (a Sunday) he nailed our dirty martinis and he hand stuffed the olives with blue cheese - his attitude and conversation was great! Night two, we stopped in for the awesome happy hour - deconstructed Thai lettuce wraps, yummy wine, and the curry mussels (not pictured). All was super good, and the atmosphere was classy but casual and fun. When we visit AC again, will definitely be one of our first stops!

    Came here for their happy hour specials. We sat at the bar and received the best service and drinks and food! Their happy hour prices are awesome for the food and drinks you get. See photos for details. Will definitely be back!

    Staying at Harrahs, I tried a number of overly expensive, mediocre food. This place was one of them. Our table ordered ahi tuna, calamari, shrimp pasta, and the salmon. The shrimp pasta was pretty delicious, but that was it. The server was also super friendly, but will definitely not eat here again.

    Great atmosphere and staff great food. We had reservations at 545 and came early and still got seated right away. Was looking forward to the lobster bisque but didn't have barely any lobster, wouldn't order it again. Tasted great just underwhelmed. I would love to go backnsoon. FYI make reservations. Located inside harrahs

    Food was very good. Restaurant was basically empty and the service was still less than average. For example I asked for a drink before we got our food, which was finally brought out after we got our check… Also not sure why, but ALL of the plates and silverware were SO stuck to the placemats that it was legitimately difficult to even pry them off. Not sure if that’s from it being sticky or what

    Incredible experience. Charles was our waiter, he was very timely. attentive, and professional. The shrimp cocktail is the best I’ve had anywhere and clams were delicious. The blue cobia was out of this world and I would return for that meal alone!!! We were pleasantly surprised with a birthday crème brûlée which far surpassed expectations, best ever and it was a lovely touch that made the birthday celebration very memorable. We took the “bag of chocolates” Togo which was more special than we even imagined. Very unique dessert, elegant, and delicious. The cocktails were also the best we had the entire trip (the pool also had a very appealing cocktail list that surpassed expectation's). A truly commendable experience to which we owe it all to the chef and our waiter, Charles. Thank you so much.
