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.

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

This is a once in a while, special event restaurant. Service was very good. The food is over rated. I have eaten in some great steak houses and Mitchell's is average. Price value is poor.
Pros: Really cool interior
Cons: Poor price value
