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

I'll be interested to try the Cantina Laredo when I am down there. The one here is marginal at best. I am happy to hear so many of you enjoying the new restaurants!

Maybe they sent all their good chefs and servers to Florida Miss Kitty. I will be interested in hearing how you feel this one compares to the one where you live.

:wave: ...how are you? I hope you are right...sowal deserves another TexMex joint! We actually tried Luna de Noche again (where Luna del Mar got it's start) last weekend and it has really gone downhill. Maybe another vicitm of too much expansion.

I've had two very good dishes at Mtchell's Fish Market. The first was the Island Spiced Tilapia with jalapeno-banana salsa, sticky rice and mango sauce and the other was the Ginger Crusted Atlantic Salmon with sticky rice, stir-fried vegetables and an orange-ginger sauce. The salmon was served medium-rare as requested. Yummy!!!! And for dessert the Banana Rum Bread Pudding is to die for ~ just make sure you share with friends as it is large! :wub: I was there for lunch so the prices were excellent. Lunch is served until 4PM.

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).

Sj you should try the Copper Grill for a grayt steak and the service is unbelievable. And Skunk the lobster is also available.😀 Not trying to kidnap this thread, just commenting...;-)

Yesterday, I heard a couple of other locals reporting that Mitchell's was great -- food and atmosphere in particular.

someone mentioned that Mitchell's was the "cheapest of the three"... Fleming's can be extremely expensive, but i didn't think that Cantina Laredo was all that bad.... (relatively speaking).... Does anyone recall their final tab at Mitchells? (average total for 2 people, etc.)....

I might have been the one to say that Mitchell's was the least expensive, but that might be directly due to the $8 margaritas, which are very tasty, at Cantina Laredo. I do have the menu for Cantina Laredo and Mitchell's. Maybe I will scan and post them later.

Dinner entrees range from $16.95 to $28.95 but most are around $20.00. For lunch I recall most entrees around $12. Yummy, yummy.

At Cantina Laredo the Top Shelf Guacamole ($8.99) was excellent even though I do keep meaning to say NO to chips. :cool:

Si Senor SJ, la margaritas are muy bueno!!!! :wub:

Went to Mitchells last night for dinner.
First impression, it smelt like fish. :confused: (you know what they say about that)
Sat at the bar for drinks, very entertaining bartender. Love it when you get free stuff. (peice of pineapple soaked in vodka, peice of shrimp with olive).
The chef was off work having a cocktail next to me so that gave me an opportunity to pick his brain.
I asked him where their fish comes from and how can it be fresh.........
He said it is flown in daily, hmmmm?
The blackboard has many different types listed.
Asked him for an order suggestion, which he recommended either salmon, blacken tuna, or the Americana (shrimp & scallops).
I chose the Americana. The shrimp was great the scallops sliced and kinda strange. I think it was the texture..........
Someone had the lobster, it's hard to screw up lobster, and another friend the fried shrimp. They were not happy with the shrimp, a tempura batter, thick.
The restaurant is a chain and pretty standard. I will say I enjoyed the bar if anything and I'll have to give the service some credit.
Will I go back? no..........

Jeez, they whacked you with that shrimp. I guess my point is that you could spend a similar amount at one of the locally owned eateries and have had a better experience.
