| - Had reviews for 930pm, 4 people, New Year's Eve. Was told by the girl out front "we're running behind on our reservations, please take this pager and just hang out." --ok, I thought, it's New Year's Eve, I can understand the delay. However, while standing within 10 feet of the hostess podium I watch 2 parties (4 & 6 people) walk up immediately after me and get seated. One of which didn't even have reservations. I finally became vocal made a tiny fuss and was promptly seated. WTF?
Next, we are never given silverware until our main course comes. We're forced to eat our pan-seared ahi tuna with bare hands. Getting our drinks also took 20 minutes after ordering them. Ok, whatever, the Sam Adams winter ale I'm drinking makes me friendly and forgiving.
Next, 3 out of 4 from our party order lobster bisque, but all 4 are given lobster bisque. We're told no charge for that fourth bowl... Guess what happens? Yea, you guessed right.
Next, our main dishes are served. I ordered filet shrimp & scallops with asparagus. My main entree has 2 asparagus spears, two rather small shrimp accompanied by 2 nice ( the only thing "nice" during the entire evening) scallops, with a baked potato. My filet was ordered "medium" and was served not just rare, but RAW. When cut into, it was actually ice cold in the middle and close to the surface. Waiter apologizes, takes it back to the chef and brings my baked potato back to the table so "I at least have something to eat". Gee. Thanks. Steak comes back 20 minutes later, cold and untouched, like it sat there on the counter, nobody touched it, and it was brought back out to me. I refused to eat it, I became mean and was told "let me see if I can just get this "taken care of". Thankfully, for the sake of a huge embarrassing scene they took the stupid crappy looking filet off of my bill. Boy, What a favor.
Verdict? Absolutely horrible service, lousy cold food (which would have made someone sick if they ate it) that was just thrown on a plate for a ridiculous price. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem paying for something in return. The only thing I got from Mitchell's was frustration and probably one of the worst dining experiences I've had in quite some time. I can see this kind of stuff at Applebee's, but this is supposedly a true restaurant with ridiculously fresh fish and a great atmosphere. I should have used my darden restaurant gift card for dinner at Longhorn Steakhouse. At least I would have left having actually been able to FINISH my entree.
Avoid this glorified (and overpriced) Garfield's and goto McCormick and Shmick for fish, unless you like paying $145 for absolutely nothing.
