| - After what I think must have been at least a six month renovation, the Beachwood location of Mitchell's has finally reopened! Sadly, my first thought upon entering was, "that's it?". I don't know what I was expecting, but after such a long time, did think that there would be more of a drastic change to the interior.
Its setup is the same as it was previously, but the entire place has been modernized, with updated seating arrangements and giant glass doors, which now open to the patio. When I went in the other day, the beloved electric train was conspicuously missing from its endless ceiling loop, but the track was in the process of being rebuilt. I think Mitchell's caved to pressure from its customers and reopened before the remodel was complete. It's about time, though, so I'm not complaining!
The good news is that we had some of the best service I've ever experienced at this location. In anticipation of the massive crowds after reopening, there were almost a dozen kids working behind the counter, and while the line of customers was practically out the door, it moved faster than I've ever seen. I appreciated that the menu has become more simplified on the wall and how you can now see the ice creams through the counter, like at most ice cream places. My pralines and cream tasted just as I remember it! This truly is some of, if not THE best ice cream in the city.
