The Scene – With its dark woodwork, high ceilings and quaint brick wall interior, McGrath's has a stylized, yet traditional, Pacific Northwest feel. Booths are plush, cozy and raised enough to give the most casual diner a view of the surroundings. Because of a prime location at Gateway Center, welcoming atmosphere and seafood fare, it enjoys a steady and wide range of customers, who are handled well by a friendly and prompt staff. – – The Food – As appetizers, fresh-shucked oyster shooters have a sensual appeal, but crab and shrimp wontons taste like neither, filled…

Comment on "worst meal I ever had
by CSMobileUser at Citysearch
This is one of my favorite restaurants. I go to the one in the Gateway. I'm sorry but when you order the cheapest item on the menu that is not listed on the fresh fish menu, its not going to be prize winning no matter where you go. Also, that pear, blue cheese walnut salad you had to pay a whole $2 extra for was never famous for fresh pears and it is topped with fried yams, not carrots. No matter how over cooked a snapper fillet may be, it will be hard, its a soft fish. Your meal was only $12 and if your complaining about the cheapest thing on the menu maybe you'd have better luck at McDonalds. Don't let this negative person stop you from going.

Worst Meal I've Ever Had
by cindyabernathy at Citysearch
I actually ate at the Sandy location, but its a chain...so the menus are likely the same.
I ordered a Red Snapper dish, and paid extra for the Candied Walnut, Blue Cheese, and Pear salad.
The salad was horrible. They actually used CANNED soft pears, instead of the signature raw pears that this dish is famous for. There were fried carrots on top that had no taste except for oil. It is a travesty that they decided to use drippy canned pears.....
My fish was so hard and overdone, it wouldnt flake or pull apart. At all. It tasted funny too, and I wondered if it was fresh.
The mixed vegetables were overseasoned with a typical "chain" seasoning, but I wont complain about that since it definately was the "typical".
Another travesty....the Red Potatoes, were served....plain and steamed. No Butter. No oil. No parsley. No nothing. Just steamed and put on the plate as though it were the Potato Famine in Ireland and I was lucky to get what I got.
Amazingly crappy food. Chili's manages to serve better tasting dishes and they are a chain. There's no excuse for this. Final insult was that I had to pay $20.00 for it all.
- Pros: none
- Cons: you have to pay for this horrible food
The Details on Mc Grath's Fish House
Park It:
Parking lot "Summer" is right beneath McGrath's, and if you're there for more than an hour, be sure to get validated.
What to Drink:
If you decide to enjoy any of the great microbrew beers on tap, go for the Gusto size. For just $1 more, you get 10 ounces more than the standard size.
