McCormick's Fish House - Denver

Can't believe I haven't rated this place since I've been going here on a regular basis since coming to the Front Range nine years ago. McCormick's is one of the few Denver eateries where the menu is creative and different and everything is very, very tasty as well as reasonably priced. I just wish they still served escargot! Good ambiance which is a must for my wife and I. Most Denver restaurants provide neither good food nor great atmosphere. The service is always excellent, not just good. We dine here for our anniversary every year and have never been disappointed. Plus we love LoDo, so that's another positive factor-- location!…

Terrbile Service, Average Food. Four of us went here for Restaurant Week. Firstly, we had a reservation for 7:00, and we didn't get seated until 7:30 (and the restaurant had a TON of empty tables)...we got no apology. Then, before we had even gotten our coats off, our waiter was asking what we wanted to eat. He didn't even bother to greet us...no hello or anything. They had run out of some of the food, and, the food that we did get was nothing special. I constantly had to ask for more water, and he didn't even bother to ask if we wanted any more drinks. The entire time, he was shoving the next course down our throats. We had the bill before our dessert even arrived. We were in and out within an hour. I would not go back!…

Nasty General manager. Frankly, the GM, Rach (sp) has elected NOT to serve any veterans on this VETERANS day. He states they did so 2 sundays ago. Oh when no one would know! Heres to your P&L Rach.. NEVER TO VISIT AGAIN. And your corp office says your WRONG! Screw the Vets Hey. I hope you loss more Business because of your foriegn way of thinking! SEMPER FI…

Extremely Disappointing. McCormick's used to be one of my favorite places: beautiful room, wonderful seafood, excellent old-fashioned service and terrific sourdough bread. I recommended the place to a group for a business lunch yesterday and I'm sorry I did. My ahi tuna Nicoise "salad" consisted of a few leaves of unwashed greens in a reasonably good vinaigrette, 4 olives, a hard-boiled egg with the green ring around the yolk that showed it was way over-cooked, 3 raw green beans, a tablespoon of unripe, tasteless tomato cubes and a baseball-sized piece of cooled "tuna"? way past its prime and way over-cooked. And the sourdough bread? Nowhere to be seen Other members of the party wisely avoided the seafood. Only one finished his Rueben; I hope he called his cardiologist when he got back to his office. The waiter, who proudly told us he was from Brooklyn, was arrogant and obnoxious. Don't believe the Editor's Note-quality is the last thing on the mind of the management here. The waiter did not offer me another choice, he merely shrugged at my barely touched "tuna" and remarked that it was a big piece. And forget about sending an email to the restaurant's website. You don't need an unpleasant phone message from an angry and defensive Executive Chef who can't say "We're sorry." I've been going to McCormick's for 25 years now and recommended it to countless friends. It's a real shame to see it fall to a level below Claimjumper's.…
