| - Wow! What happened to this place! It used to be a great place to go to to enjoy a really good fresh fish meal. Not any more! I have 2 reviews. 1) My Dad and I recently went for lunch on a Thursday. There were maybe 10 groups in the whole restaurant. We were seated in the back of the restaurant. It was stinky, & hot. No air circulation at all. We told our waitress, they did try to solve that problem by turning down the air conditioning. It was almost comfortable by the time we left. I had to call our waitress over from another part of the restaurant to place our order after a 15 minute wait after that. As for our food, really just mediocre at best. I always order iced tea for lunch, it tasted old. The cobb salad was really just chopped fish in a mayonaise mess served over lettuce. I ddn't expect mayonaise! My fathers gumbo was good, he was satisfied. Waitress was nice, just unattentive. Also, kitchen and restaurant were very noisey. Dishes breaking, things dropping right next to us at least twice, no appoligies for noise.
2)This past Sunday my husband wanted to go to sit at the bar and grab a quick meal, which is something we often did on a weekend night with no hesitation. I strongly tried to persuade him to go elsewhere after my last experience with my Dad. We love when Terrie is working there, she gives great service and is great to talk to. She was not there this Sunday. Our bartender was really unattentive and seemed bored to be there. Never talks to you, short quick answers. The restaurant was not very crowded, we got a seat at the bar right away, it was early also, before six. It started to fill up as we were sitting there. Maybe six more people came while we were there. Bar was still more than half empty. It took a long time to get our drinks (15 minutes), and a long time to get our order in, (20 more minutes) and a long time to get our food (25/30 minutes). The bartender spent a lot of time talking to other employees with her back to us. My husbands shrimp tasted fishy, salad tasted old. My salmon was just ok, nothing special, not bad though. All in all, It used to be a great place to go to for a nice meal. Now its too pricey for just mediocre food and mediocre service. We will definitely go elsewhere. Mitchells has gotten old and tired!!
