One might think that Denver and fresh seafood in the same sentence would be an oxymoron. However Mc Cormack's in the DTC is excellent. We have eaten there 5 times (and once at Mc Cormack's in LoDo) and the seafood is exceptionally fresh, excellently prepared, and very attractively presented. The price is well worth the quality of the food received - but not the service. On 4 occasions at the DTC store we left feeling the wait staff was condescending and abrupt (somewhat like the service one might expect to receive in a Manhattan restaurant), each time causing us not to return for several months. However on a recent visit last week, our experience of the service finally met the experience of the food. Tiffany, our wait person, was a 10 on the 10-scale in every respect. She was attentive, made several excellent recommendations, attentively took care of a food allergy problem that one of our party had and, to our surprise, offered a children's menu (on a visit a month previous for a birthday party, we had been gruffly advised by a waiter that, ""there was no children's menu"") and we paid $17 for a dish the youngster barely touched (vs. $4 this time). The staff at this establishment needs an attitude adjustment - I pay THEIR salaries - not the reverse. We'll likely go back because of Tiffany (and hopefully a few others like her) and the outstanding quality of the seafood.
Pros: Freshest seafood in Denver
Cons: Condescending wait staff
