Nov 2008: @ McCormick and Schmicks (album)

Cincinnati, Ohio

I got a yen to try out this restaurant which is located on the corner of the hotel I stayed in (The Westin Cincinnati).

I didn't try it last year, but I heard from May, my fellow Technologian who has settled down in Kentucky that they have good food. A bit pricey, but good nonetheless..and since I liked seafood, I was oblivious to my fellow-HP diner's hints about Morton's on the opposite side of the street *grin*

Therefore, that evening found Pat (who is a a fellow fasttracker for PMP sessions in Cincinnati which I attended) and I breezing into this seafood restaurant and experimenting on the drinks and food. I was tempted to order lobster, but remembered just in time that I came from Red Lobster restaurant that prior weekend so I desisted and ordered unknown fish. I think it was bass. I will check my receipt later.

Pat originally lived in New York but likes Florida, where he has settled. One thing I like about HP is that you meet interesting folks who enrich your experience..particularly when it comes not just to IT, but to places and food too :-)

Thanks Pat for the tips on the Big Apple, NYC! Funnily, he will also be visiting Cebu City in the Philippines one of these days.

Extract from wikipedia for some information:
The original McCormick & Schmick's restaurant was opened in 1979 in Portland. As of 2007, there are over 90 restaurants and catering locations around the United States. They specialize in fresh seafood, though they also serve steaks from the same wholesale supplier used at Morton's Restaurant Group steakhouses.
