This wonderful seafood restaurant is part of a chain originating in the Pacific Northwest and has grown to 50+ locations . The pleasant bar has an excellent wine list, with a large selection of both white and red wines. The menu changes daily with about 25 fish and seafood choices as well as steaks and pastas. Most entrees come with potatoes or rice and vegetables. There are 6 or more varieties of oysters and several excellent salads. I had the McCormick & Schmick salad with walnuts & goat cheese and a delicious pan seared walleye over blue potatoes. Previously for an entree, I had the grilled  grouper with thinly sliced black truffles. The rare sliced ahi tuna was delicious and the rainbow trout stuffed with crab meat was also quite good. We tried several desserts including the pecan pie and the upside down apple pie. Service was first rate, friendly and efficient. I don't know how I  let so much time go by between visits.
