Yesterday, I heard a couple of other locals reporting that Mitchell's was great -- food and atmosphere in particular.
i'm in love... Mitchell's Fish Market

someone mentioned that Mitchell's was the "cheapest of the three"... Fleming's can be extremely expensive, but i didn't think that Cantina Laredo was all that bad.... (relatively speaking).... Does anyone recall their final tab at Mitchells? (average total for 2 people, etc.)....
I might have been the one to say that Mitchell's was the least expensive, but that might be directly due to the $8 margaritas, which are very tasty, at Cantina Laredo. I do have the menu for Cantina Laredo and Mitchell's. Maybe I will scan and post them later.
Dinner entrees range from $16.95 to $28.95 but most are around $20.00. For lunch I recall most entrees around $12. Yummy, yummy.
At Cantina Laredo the Top Shelf Guacamole ($8.99) was excellent even though I do keep meaning to say NO to chips.

Went to Mitchells last night for dinner.
First impression, it smelt like fish.
(you know what they say about that)
Sat at the bar for drinks, very entertaining bartender. Love it when you get free stuff. (peice of pineapple soaked in vodka, peice of shrimp with olive).
The chef was off work having a cocktail next to me so that gave me an opportunity to pick his brain.
I asked him where their fish comes from and how can it be fresh.........
He said it is flown in daily, hmmmm?
The blackboard has many different types listed.
Asked him for an order suggestion, which he recommended either salmon, blacken tuna, or the Americana (shrimp & scallops).
I chose the Americana. The shrimp was great the scallops sliced and kinda strange. I think it was the texture..........
Someone had the lobster, it's hard to screw up lobster, and another friend the fried shrimp. They were not happy with the shrimp, a tempura batter, thick.
The restaurant is a chain and pretty standard. I will say I enjoyed the bar if anything and I'll have to give the service some credit.
Will I go back? no..........

Jeez, they whacked you with that shrimp. I guess my point is that you could spend a similar amount at one of the locally owned eateries and have had a better experience.
