McCormick & Schmick's Seafood & Steaks

McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood & Steaks is a seafood-focused restaurant in Downtown Houston’s Greenstreet district. The menu brings together fish and shellfish from the Pacific Rim, Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico with aged steaks, garden-fresh salads and ingredients connected to regional ranches, farms and wineries. The result is a broad dining format that suits guests looking for either a seafood meal or a steak-centered option.

The restaurant’s style is built around a full menu rather than a single specialty. Seafood forms the central focus, with shellfish and fish presented alongside steak selections, salads, shareable starters, desserts and a bar program featuring cocktails and beer. Regional influences are part of the menu’s character, while the range of choices allows a table to mix lighter dishes with richer main courses.

McCormick & Schmick’s accommodates several types of dining throughout the day, including lunch, dinner and a bar-focused happy hour. Happy hour includes cocktails and small plates, making the restaurant suitable for a casual stop as well as a more structured meal. The setting also supports business meals, private dining and event gatherings, with reservations available for planned visits.

Its location places the restaurant near Discovery Green, the Theater District, the George R. Brown Convention Center, Toyota Center and Minute Maid Park. That makes it a practical choice before or after downtown entertainment, conventions and sporting events. The Greenstreet setting also puts it within an active central district while keeping the restaurant connected to Houston’s business and visitor activity.

For diners who prefer seafood, the menu offers access to fish and shellfish with coastal and regional influences. For guests seeking a non-seafood entrée, aged steaks provide a parallel focus, while salads and shareable items broaden the meal. Private dining adds an option for organized gatherings, and the combination of seafood, steaks, cocktails and event-friendly services gives the restaurant flexibility across business, social and pre-event occasions.
