Description: If Mom’s no longer interested in making your favorite meatloaf or pot roast, head to M&S Grill for these classics along with dishes that are way out of your mama’s league. Of course the food and ambience are terrific; they’re by the team that brought you McCormick & Schmick’s, one of the city’s premier seafood emporiums. M&S is a bit more laid-back but the bar area is just as bustling come happy hour when the barkeeps are slinging cocktails featuring fresh-squeezed juices, and a juicy cheeseburger or crisp calamari will set you back only $1.95. The menu proclaims the T-bone the “greatest steak in the world,” and with it weighing a hefty 24 ounces, we’ll have to take their word for it. Just save room for the red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. Lucky you, M&S Grill just added a Sunday brunch.
