Bill McCormick and Doug Schmick have spent over three decades building a seafood-focused restaurant empire. One of the jewels in their crown is certainly the Beverly Hills branch of McCormick & Schmick’s, situated on the ritziest stretch of Rodeo Drive. Glamour-hungry tourists and wealthy locals populate the plush patio to people-watch and enjoy impeccably-sourced fish, crustaceans, and bivalves; the restaurant offers a different selection every day depending on what’s in season. Desserts aren’t quite so of-the-moment, but the Upside Down Apple Pie with caramelized walnut crust and dulce de leche ice cream is still a must-order item.

Review Title: How to impress your ladies
My husband recently took me to the Blue Velvet. I have to admit that this is a hidden gem!!! The food there was sooooooo wonderful!!The chef there does such a great job with presentation that you are almost afraid to eat it because it is such a work of art! I strongly reccommend the tasters special where you can have a little of everything. The pasta dish,salmon,salad were my favorite. There is also a outdoor pool where you can go for a dip and have a more casual dining. The atmosphere reminds me of the "W Hotels" or the "Westin Hotels" and it is very clean. The service was also impeccable and we didn't have to wait a long period of time. Also, ladies the deserts are to die for!!!!!!!
