i'm in love... Mitchell's Fish Market

Re: i'm in love...

Spill the beans...where is it, what did you have, etc, etc. 8000 lurkers want to know😀

Re: i'm in love...

My grandparents ate dinner here last week and said their service was incredible and the food was top-notch.
They also got a postcard in the mail a few days ago from their server, thanking them for dining.

okay. I'm there. and soon.... 😀

did not have good experiences at all at cantina's or flemings, but was BEYOND happy with Mitchell's.

Mitchell's wasn't bad, but for us, the opposite was true. We loved Cantina Laredo -- drinks, food, atmosphere, and service!

While Flemings was empty, expensive and dark, the wine selection was very nice and the food was fantastic.

Mitchell's seemed too loud. We ordered drinks only, because the wait was too long, but I saw several tables' plates of food, and I thought the presentation was average at best. Taste could be better, and I hope it is.

Keep your eyes peeled, because Tommy Bahama Cafe should be opening any day now. I think they were scheduled to open on Sat, July 14, if I correctly recall the sign, posted.

Skunky,

Mitchells Fish Market, Flemings, Cantina Laredo, and Tommy Bahama Cafe (which looks really cool inside with a horseshoe shaped bar) are all located in Sandestin, in the new buildings next to Publix. I keep forgetting the name and just call it the Howard Group, after the developer.

i think it's called Grand Boulevard... there's a "P.F. Chang's" under construction there too... i've eaten at a few of those, and have never been disappointed....

Wow...this sounds like a regular ol' food court!!!

OOps. chainers?:bang:

DD, we had a Pei Wei open up just minutes from our house. It's kind of like a fast food version of PFC but a little nicer than the average. Same owners. We love it and never have to travel to the mall anymore for PFC's. The lettuce wraps are exactly the same. :wub:

yeah, times $$$$. Mitchells is probably the least expensive of the three which are currently open, and Flemings is on the high-end, but there is not another steak house like it in the area, unless you want to drive to the Hilton, park in Egypt, and go to Seagar's. Cantina Laredo is priced in the middle, but much higher than CoCo's, and worth every penny of difference to me. ;-)

Skunky, you should be aware that they do have seafood,including delicious lobster, on the menu at the Flemings (steak house).

I thought the same thing....we loved Cantina Laredo. But to each his own!:cool: I always worry when we go out with Doug because he is such the "food critic". But, he raved about his food. We ate so much I thought we would burst! Our server was wonderful and gave us his card. His name is Luis Diaz....ask for him!!!! He was brought in with 12 others to teach....and says he loves it here. I hope they keep him here, as I plan on being a regular. (However much that could be:roll🙂

:drool: The food was wonderful and my first margerita was pretty expensive as I ordered an expensive tequila....duhhhh.:funn: But, boy was it smooth. The Caramel Flan was also smooth and creamy,:drool: with just the right amount of sweetness. Then he brought us a Mexican Brownie and we all dove in!

I can't tell you everything we ate.....or maybe I can't remember :blush: after 2 Margarita's, but I remember those desserts!

:drink2: Kat:wave:

Luis was our server at Cantina Laredo, too. I thought he was excellent.

Cantina Laredo-try the botanas platter as an entree..13$ or 14$ and more than a normal earthling should eat. 2 pastor tacos, 1/2 delicious quesadilla, small bit of cheese dip, sometimes 2 jalapeno poppers, two shish kebabs with a shrimp and sometimes a bite of beef (different every time) and a scoop of guacamole.

yes, we have PW too...love it.:wub: Sorry Skunky.

To each their own...there are plenty of great locally owned dining spots here that justify avoiding these bottom-line-driven spots like the plague. That is my take, stockholders be dunked in spinach and artichoke dip.

I wish there were more locally owned dining spots here....most have been gobbled up by the bottom line driven spots, so we go with the best of the evil. But, there are some that even I will avoid like the plague...and don't even get me started on fast food..

I could've written this post myself, about our area here. Nothing BUT chains. :bang:
