"We chose Mitchell’s for our anniversary dinner based on their reputation and we were not disappointed. The employees were more than courteous, knowledgeable and friendly. Many wished us a happy anniversary again as we were leaving. Service was great and the food was excellent. Last year we went to a seafood restaurant with fabulous views on Mt. Washington and the only thing good about that experience was the ambiance and view. Mitchell’s far surpassed them with the quality of our meal. After enjoying some delicious piping hot sourdough read, we ordered the filet/lobster combination and the prime rib/scampi combination. The steaks were comparable to those I have had at the best Chicago steakhouses. The lobster was fine, and the scampi was excellent. It was the best meal and dining experience we have had in a very long time! As to the setting, don’t expect the posh atmosphere that the quality of food would lead you to expect! The dining room is clean and tasteful with booths and tables. As we had early reservations and were one of the first to be seated, it was quiet and easy to talk initially. By the time we left two hours later, the room was packed and rather loud. This speaks to the popularity of this gem! I noticed two booths in the bar area that were in recessed alcoves. The next time we visit, I will request one of those tables. Speaking of the bar, we had a gin martini that was icy cold and delicious. The featured wine was selected to accompany our meal and it too was wonderful. We came home and ordered a case! Finally dessert, which was a pleasant surprise as it was complimentary on the occasion of our anniversary. We selected the key lime pie. Wow! Perfectly tart and very sweet and creamy. A great finish to the meal. We will definitely return to check out other menu options and their popular happy hour menu. Thank you Mitchell’s, for a great anniversary dinner!"
