My family and I went to Mc Grath's (or McRAT'S as we now like to call it) for my parent's anniversary. The atmosphere was okay except for a nauseating burnt grease smell lingering in the air. We ordered peach ice tea and it tasted like water. We asked the waitress to pour some more for us and she spilled it all over the table and left without any consideration. When we finally got our dishes, we were disappointed. My dad ordered the cheapest seafood combo on the menu, around $13. When the dish came to the table he was confused as if to ask, ""what is this?"" He got 3 baby shrimp, 3 baby scallops and a few prawns. It was like an appetizer and he finished it in seconds. My mom's steak was dry and flavorless, priced at about $15. I ordered salad wraps but I was so caught up with my parents' sad faces that I didn't bother to taste my ""food"". We wanted to talk to the manager about the terrible food but we figured we would give them the greatest punishment: we will never come back here again. Pros: Seated promptly, left promptly Cons: Terrible service, smallest portions, high prices more

By far the best seafood in Portland, large selection of fresh seafood and the salad that comes with dinner is the best. Everything is very tasty, the service is good, and we also find that the food is very consistent. I really like the trout almadine and the blackened salmon salad (entre'). High quality and good value. Pros: Trout, salmon, all the fresh fish and especially their dinner salad Cons: Sometimes very busy and they don't take reservations more
