    As usual, we totally enjoyed every bite of the food here at Mitch’s as well as the impeccable service and lovely atmosphere. Not to mention being greeted by Mitch himself! We can’t wait to go back for more.

    First, let me start by saying that i would definitely go here again. i would just do things a little differently. Although it did not give you a choice for inside or outside when making the reservation, we arrived to find out that we were being seated outside. Although it is a lovely patio, the misters do not extend out to the open part of the patio. it was 100 degrees when we got there, so it was VERY hot. They eventually set up a fan next to our table, which made it slightly better, especially while the misters were on, as it occasionally pulled some of that coolness over to our table. then they turned the misters off. unless you are ok with eating in 100 degree temperature, request inside seating or to sit where the misters are. On to the service. while our server was very nice, made great recommendations, i had to flag him down at least 4 times during our meal for various reasons. i ordered a blood orange martini ( they have a blood orange margarita on the menu, so i asked if i could get a blood orange Martini). when it arrived, it had black tahin salt on the rim. i flagged our server down to say that i was not expecting salt on a vodka martini, could he bring me one with sugar instead, which he did right away. i thought that perhaps he could have checked in on us more frequently. Now the food. it was restaurant week, and 5 of the 6 of us in our party ordered off that menu. everyone was happy with their choices. i ordered the Crispy Rice appetizer (i wanted a tuna appetizer) which was AMAZING! there were 5 pieces, and i savored every one. i also ordered the 808 roll which was delicious. although they include wasabi and ginger on my plate, they did not provide me with a dish to put the soy/wasabi into, so i just ate it plain, which was still good, but i would have preferred to have the soy/wasabi. i just didn't want to flag our server down again. i would definitely recommend this place, i just had to take off one star due to our specific experience.

    Last time we are there it was amazing. This time everything was off, from the service to the food itself. It took forever to get every course and the food was average.

    Food was good as usual, but since we were there for the resstaurant week and we ordered from the pre-selected menu, it seemed a bit mass-paroduced.

    Mitch’s food was outstanding. My wife’s Dover Sole was cooked perfectly. She loved it! I had some fantastic sushi and a huge, tasty salad. Our server was Daniel, who was extremely helpful. We give Mitch’s our highest recommendation.

    Mitch’s staff including Mitch himself delivered an outstanding dining experience on a special day for our daughter’s birthday. From our arrival and being met by Mitch and his hostess, to our table perfectly located in and around the ambience of all the positive vibes, we were treated to a culinary experience matched time and again by this fabulous restaurant. Already looking forward to another great time at Mitch’s before the end of the season.
