| - I decided to write this review because my experience at Mitchell's Fish Market was so bad that I felt I would do other people a service by telling you: save your hard-earned money for a better restaurant.
I ordered the "lobster duo" - a 4oz. lobster tail that comes with lobster "pot pie". The "lobster pot pie" was -- no exaggeration -- an ordinary biscuit. The biscuit had a little slice at the top, and then they drizzled some flavorless pink sauce over it that had a couple kernels of corn in it. There was literally one small chunk of lobster meat on the pot pie. It was crud. I sort of wish I had sent it back and just cancelled my order, but I was with a group and didn't want to make a scene. But it was that bad.
The lobster tail was cooked to s*** -- extremely overcooked and basically ruined. The "drawn butter" was probably corn oil with coloring. It did not taste like butter at all, and it did not have the consistency or flavor of butter. It was probably just corn oil. Disgusting.
It was by far the worst seafood experience I've ever had, and I'm including my visits to Arthur Treachers. This is basically a glorified Red Lobster, but at least at Red Lobster you get fed. I ended up eating the leftovers from my fiancee's plate (fish fry) because I had just eaten a $30 appetizer and was still very hungry after my $30 "dinner". My entree was completely unfilling and unappetizing. It was pathetic. The real tragedy is that people spend their money at this place because it is in a high-end shopping plaza, but the food at Mitchell's Fish Market, based on my experience, was worse than Red Lobster's (a low-end chain seafood restaurant).
Don't let them lure you in with their tall dessert cakes, though -- they suck at seafood and that is what matters. If you want dessert, go to an ice cream shop or a bakery.
For others' sake, I would recommend spending your money elsewhere. I hope this place goes out of business.
The only nice thing I have to say about it is that they had decent margaritas (the 1800 Margarita...it actually has alcohol in it, surprisingly...but their food was so crappy I half expected their drinks to be all filler)...
The last annoyance came when they charged the wrong credit cards on a split check (between two couples...so in other words, not difficult). But they charged us our friends' bill on our card and then charged our friends our bill...so, the service is not top notch, and not even really that competent.
Edited once because I think I was being unfair and harsh about the wait staff, who were polite.
