I saw that restaurant.com had certificates to this restaurant. We have one near our home but it is usually booked up and it quite expensive (and no discounts)

Has anyone been there? Or to another location?

Any info is appreciated.
 
I've been there twice. It's good, but not THAT good for the amount they charge. I feel it's excessive for the ambience.
 
Been to the one in Baltimore on the beautiful Inner Harbor twice and the one in Philly once -- thoroughly enjoyed all experiences. Yes, a little expensive, but both places had nice atmosphere and very satisfying food. Crab cakes were very, very good. (Although I think THEY are overpriced -- 13 bucks I think for one of them?? I kinda' forget.)
 
Been to the one at the Mall of Millennium and also to two others, one in Charlotte and one in Chicago. Loved all of them but my recommendation is go for lunch as it tends to be better than the evening rush.
 

I know it is expensive because the local one is higher priced.

The restuarant.com certs begin at $30 for 75 so I know it gets expensive quick. From what I could tell, it is the mall of Milenia location (Conroy Rd).
 
I've been to the McC & S in Philadelphia, the one near Fanueil Hall in Boston and one in Chicago (the one near Loyola) - we've been to the Mall at Millenia many times but not been to that McC&S - and thought that they were all quite good - the waitstaffs tend to be attentive but not annoying and the food is great. It seems to me that the entrees are in the $15 - $30 range, with most hovering around $20-$25. While I don't think that's outrageously expensive, that's alot if you're more comfortable in the Red Lobster range, both in terms of price and quantity of food on your plate.
If you're only looking for restaurant.com restaurants my next comments won't be helpful but if you're looking for good seafood in Orlando then you might consider some other options. We've found Straub Seafood on East Colonial Drive to be really good and if you get there early you can take advantage of the early-bird specials. Straub's is a local restaurant (I think there's another one in Altamonte Springs or some such other town) that's away from the touristy areas of Orlando. Excellently prepared food, good quantity and priced pretty well. The restaurant itself doesn't look too fancy from the outside and isn't fancy on the inside either but the meal outshines the atmosphere at Straub's.
I also recommend Shell's Seafood. I've not been to one of the Orlando-area restaurants but have been to one in St. Petersburg and the meal was good. I believe that there are three in the Orlando area - one in Kissimmee along Rt 192, one north of downtown Orlando and one in Winter Park. This is a Florida chain of seafood restaurants that was started in the Tampa area about twenty years ago. Good food and moderately priced.

Happy dining!

I was thinking about this place because there is one near me near Philly (S. Jersey) It just opened up and I wanted to try it but didn't want to brave the lines locally and by a quick perusal of restaurant.com certs showed this one to be available.

I don't mind cost if it is worthwhile if that makes any sense. I knew it was a higher price place if the rest.com cert is a 75 dollar cert.
 
I've been to the Philly location many times and have never had a bad meal. I've also eaten at the Baltimore location...beautiful and excellent food.
 
We LOVE McCormick and Schmick's. We have been to the ones in Boston, Providence, and Baltimore, and have never been disappointed. They have the best fried calamari. It can be a little expensive, but we think it's worth it.
 
ETA: I used a Restaurant.com code and bought a $50 voucher for $4. It is valid at the Orlando location.

I'll make a reservation online when I get down there.
