Editorial Review for Mitchell's Steakhouse - Downtown – by Terry Ward Libby
The Scene
The curvy cocktail bar is all wood, glass and subtle lighting, and velvet drapings swoosh down from an ornate ceiling about 20 feet high. Original oil paintings with big art deco images provide some levity to contrast with the visual drama. The menu has a special note about the "pace" of service that says "an easy manner is our forte." Translation: There's lots of downtime between courses. This is nice if you're in the mood to linger, but they will speed it up upon request.
The Food
Lavish and classic. Fill up on bread before the meal-- it's hot and crusty with a moist inside. Salads are tossed with made-from-scratch dressings full of garlic and herbs. Steak is done eight different ways, including a classic surf and turf plate. Grilled lamb and fish, roasted veal and chicken and crab cakes complete the menu. Don't miss the jumbo lump crabmeat cocktail.

My husband and I recently went to Mitchell's to celebrate our first anniversary...we ended up being very happy that we did. We both ordered steak (he got a N.Y. strip, I got the filet) and we thought it was outstanding! My husband even said it was the best steak he has ever had, and he has had a lot of them. He's a self-proclaimed connoisseur of steak, and in this case I'd definitely have to agree that Mitchell's has the best. After filling up on the great bread that they serve and the steak, we were too full to try any of the desserts. I'm sure, though, that the desserts are unbelievable. Of course, I can't forget to mention the service. The best way to put it would be to say that the service was as good as the steak. The service was fantastic! Even though we drove up in a 1998 Mazda, the valet treated us the same as he would a person driving the latest-model BMW. Our server treated us like VIPs, despite the fact that we were both outfitted in our best from Old Navy. They treat everyone equally, which I've found to be a rarity at high-end restaurants. The only negative was the price. Even though it was really expensive, it was worth every penny. It was the perfect place for us to celebrate our first year of marriage...and our second, our third, fourth...I'm sure you get what I'm saying. We might have to start saving our money now, though...
Pros: The food, service, ambience...great for special occasions
Cons: The price, though it's worth it

Well, after the Wall Street journal caught Mitchell's using the term "Prime" in only the dictionary sense of the word...... yes that was the lame excuse they used, I should have known better. The mushroom appetizer and the Crab Cake entree were wonderful. The first attempt at my medium rare porterhouse was mediumwell. The second try was so full of gristle that it made a great chewtoy for my dog. I won't make this mistake again. Hyde Park here I come.
Pros: Ambience and usually service
Cons: Shoe leather meat
