I ordered one of the special's; Chilean Sea bass which was a burst of the most fabulous flavors in my mouth…just the right amounts of cream sauce, bass, crab meat, shrimp, and a mix of veggies….beautiful presentation of the entree as well!!…my husband’s Margarita Chicken was also delicious. In addition, we received outstanding and friendly service from Ernesto….he was extremely attentive to our needs throughout out our entire dinner!!

    Mitchell’s is always dependably delicious and great great service. The music was a bit too loud and not peaceful. I wish just one great restaurant would keep the music in the background and dessert prices down to round out a perfect experience.

    This is a very cute space. We sat in the u-shaped banquet towards the back, so it gave us a little privacy. We had a vegetarian and a gluten sensitive diner in our party and both were happy with their options. (GF probably more so since they had gf rolls and the popcorn sundae for dessert!) All of the other people in our party were pleased with their meals; I had the duck confit (minus the Gorgonzola) and it was fantastic. Nice wine selection; not an overwhelming number of choices, but some good ones. Will definitely go back!
