McCormick & Schmick’s on North River Road is a Landry’s-owned seafood and steak house in Rosemont’s convention and hotel district, a few minutes from O’Hare. It is one of roughly 15 U.S. locations left in the chain, and its dark-wood dining rooms make it a regular choice for expense-account dinners, anniversary meals, and after-work drinks.
The menu centers on fresh fish and shellfish. Look for oysters on the half shell, crab cakes, cedar-planked salmon, and seasonal catches alongside hand-cut steaks for surf-and-turf orders. The bar draws its own crowd with happy hour specials on cocktails, wine, and small plates. Booths and private dining space suit groups that want quiet conversation over a business meal. Guests generally rate the restaurant 4.1 out of 5, and reviewers often single out the seafood and the happy hour value.

Demand rises and falls with the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center just up River Road. Check the convention calendar before you go, and book ahead on major show dates and weekend evenings. Arrive early for happy hour to get bar seating, and confirm the current hours and specials on the official location page because they can change. Takeout is available for travelers short on time. Hotel guests nearby can walk or take a short rideshare, and transit riders can use the CTA Blue Line’s Rosemont station, which connects to O’Hare and downtown Chicago.
