Mitchell's Steakhouse - Downtown

07/05/2007 Posted by mark_cin

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

My wife and I loved everything about this restaurant. The steaks were cooked EXACTLY like we ordered them. Their porterhouse is extremely tasty and tender. I ordered the Filet Oscar and it was wonderful. Their lobster bisque is some of the best I've ever had. We also loved their shrimp cocktail. This is the best steakhouse we've ever been to, and we've been to a lot. The only knock is that it is a bit pricey, but in this case, you get what you pay for.

Pros: Steak cooked as we ordered.

Cons: A bit pricey, parking is a bit rough.

If you enjoy spending money foolishly to make yourself feel rich and important, this is the place to do it! We were terribly disappointed in our meal. I have had much better filets, their mashed potatoes were nothing special and the appetizers were tasteless. If you think this place is the best, you need to travel more!

Pros: clean, valet parking, attentive waitstaff

Cons: overpriced, average food

Went there with the family. Not one of us was pleased. My filet mignon was burned, as was my brother's steak, and he ordered his medium. Our bill was way over $200, and not one of us liked our meal. Definitely not worth the money.

Excellent steakhouse with clubby decor. Filet melts in the mouth.

Pros: food quality, atmosphere, service

I went to Mitchell's for an anniversary dinner, and I loved it. The steaks were fabulous, and the sauce was the best I have ever tasted. Yes, the restaraunt is over-priced (~$90 for a full meal for two), but all of Cameron's restaurants are. Mitchell's is great if you're looking for a ritzy meal. Get reservations for the weekend, even if it means working ahead; dining is more fun when Mitchell's is full. With this, plan to take advantage of the valet parking, especially in winter. It's worth the price. The waitstaff is friendly and knows the menu, but they probably won't tell you that sides are big. Decide on 2-3 and share; it will be plenty. The tomatoes with mozzarella are fantastic. Plan to spend money, dress up, and make a big deal out of going downtown to Mitchell's (it has a better atmpsphere than Polaris). Then enjoy it!

Pros: best steaks in town, big side portions, friendly staff

Cons: weekend traffic, a little overpriced

Nothing beats Mitchell's Steakhouse for a great night out. The food is spectacular, and the service is so personable. The interior of the restaurant is incredible - it has to be the most beautiful restaurant in the city.

A very enjoyable evening even it your not there with your best friend. Outstanding quality and service delivery. You feel as if you are the only person that matters. Special attention and service seems to be the norm.
