McCormick & Schmick's held a summer soiree for media to experience their new outdoor patio and a variety of very tasty food items.Though the opening of the new loop location on Wacker Drive opened in July,the front patio was closed.
So now it's open and it's wonderful! Not only will you experience an incredible menu prepared by top rate chefs but this has to be one of the best people watching spots in the city.Not to mention the stellar views of Marina City,Wrigley Building,Michigan Avenue and the construction of Trump Tower. I happened in at the tail end of the event and was offered a " Lobster Martini. "
It's not on the menu *yet* but I have hope it will be. It's not a real cocktail but fresh lobster meat in a martini glass with mango salsa. Absolutely delicious as was the seared tuna and the beef tenderloin the manager acquired for me. :-)
