Restaurant Description Unique to Minneapolis, the restaurant has several "snugs" (private booths with velvet draperies) in the formal dining room. The handsome interior features handcrafted mahogany, stained glass (depicting Minnesota heritage), and brass accents. Polo-green carpeting, Tiffany-style lamps and framed historical photographs of Minneapolis history lend a traditional note to the interior. McCormick & Schmick's also features a lively bar experience, with a bar staff that practices traditional mixology -- hand-shaken cocktails using only bottled sodas, freshly squeezed juices and premium liquors. "...the blue ribbon went to the Oregon Dungeness crab. They might more aptly be called crab nuggets - the deep-fried golf ball sized 'cakes' were all seafood, not at all greasy, and served with a tangy red pepper aioli. They're available as an appetizer and an entree and they're worth every last penny." - CitySearch.com Best Known For... Classic drinks, such as martinis, Irish coffee, single malt whiskeys and bourbons are complemented with modern favorites like lemon drops, cosmopolitans and more. |
