Our experience at McCormick and Schmick (which is called McCormick and Kuletos in SF)

[Guest guest]

Thanks to a tip from someone on this board, we ended

up dining at the one in Ghiardhelli Square last

weekend to celebrate our anniversary. Someone had

mentioned to contact Chef Mike before hand, so I did.

His mom has celiac disease, and he knew exactly what

needed to be done. He came out to meet us and we

discussed her options right on the spot. They do have

many GF options, and he made my 14 year old a meal so

good she ate the entire thing (Shrimp, salmon and

halibut over spanish rice). Then he brought out a

special dessert, I think it was the chocolate torte,

covered in whipped cream and garnished with lots of

berries....she ate the whole thing! She almost cried,

I almost cried, and Chef Matt almost cried! On top of

that, he comped the meal! I think he was so happy to

have made a childs day (she hasnt eaten cake like that

since her diagnosis 2 years ago). She asked the

waitress to take her back to the kitchen so she could

thank him personally, and of course we left him a big

tip.

He said all the M & S's can accomodate us, and gave us

the name of the chef for the one closer to us

(downtown San ). We will definitely be going. It

was an amazing experience.
