Our third visit to Mitch’s in the last week! Will miss him this summer, as he offers the best menu, quality, ambiance and service among the many fine restaurants in the desert food scene. My wife had the best lamb chops she’s ever had (even better than mine!). I had a fave, the baked oysters and they were crispy and luscious on the inside. Our friends had the ahi dinner, which was amazing, and some go-to sushi rolls. Where else can you get real snow crab in your rolls? Having dinner at Mitch’s is like dining with a good friend. Thanks for everything Mitch and team. Have a great summer and see you in October.

The sushi as prepared by sushi. Master James is so extraordinary, and at the same time, for those that don’t eat sushi, there are ample phenomenal choices on the menu. This is our last meal there for the season, and it was another great one and we cannot wait for them to reopen in the fall.

Another excellent dining experience with Mitch and team. We brought friends and ordered family style- A dozen delicious and fresh mixed raw oysters Chinese chicken salad- still the best Cabo and Protein roll- excellent and tasty Salmon nigiri sushi- fresh color and nicely portioned Hokaido Scallops- wish I had this recipe, my favorite Tempura Shrimp- always solid So we had a few cocktails, sat upstairs and lingered over an excellent meal and on point service. Our second night in a row at Mitch’s and we have a bigger party reserved for next week before Mitch closes for the summer.

This is our 2nd time at Mitch’s. Both times have been the best experience. The food is amazing. The service was fantastic. We sat on the patio and the ambiance is great. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The owners are present and so friendly, greeting their guests, making sure everyone is taken care of and happy with their choices. Keep up the fantastic teamwork! We shall be returning soon!

This is something of a mixed review. Let me begin by saying we had high hopes for this restaurant. There are not a lot of good seafood options in our area. The service was very good, no complaints in this area at all. First course was quite good for both of us; one 808 sushi roll and one Caesar salad. It was the entree course that was a huge disappointment. I had the grilled shrimp and scallops which were rubbery and tasteless. Vegetables on the plate so under-cooked I couldn't even cut them with my knife. The other entree was the salmon, which while not bad, was nothing special. The comment was "this is like something you could easily fix at home or have at a small cafe for half the price". Maybe we didn't order the right things, but for the price (dinner for two over $200 with tax/tip), everything on the menu should be spectacular. I don't think we'll be going back.

Our server was friendly and attentive. Employees were the best part about our experience. My steak was over cooked (medium should be pink not grey when cut into). Lobster was over cooked and chewy. Wish we would’ve stopped with cocktails and sushi.

Blown away by this place. Friendly greeting and seating at a nice outdoor booth. Top notch service from our server and the floor managers. Everyone was polite and attentive. The food is good, proper cocktails and my birthday dessert was so surprisingly delicious! I recommend and would certainly return! So happy I chose to celebrate my 44th bday here!

The food was fabulous and the service was excellent. That being said it wasn't the most pleasant experience because, even though I requested inside seating, we had to sit outside in the heat. The misters were helpful but some customers complained so they had to be shut off. I understand it was Friday and crowded but we would have been happy to wait for a table inside. It was disappointing to see so many diners in "beyond casual" dress. Short shorts, ragged shirts, flip flops, etc. were the dress of the evening. Staying home during Covid wearing sweats must have been the influence. Too bad!

Mitch’s took my breath away! The quality, taste and presentation of their seafood was excellent. The ahi and ahi taco appetizer was one of the best I have ever had. The restaurant has a wide welcoming area when you walk in. I was greeted warmly but the owner when checking in with my reservations. The owner has a great presence helping and greeting people throughout the restaurant during dinner. The restaurant is busy and larger than it looks from the outside. The service was incredible! Note - a good potion of the restaurant has an outside patio. They use misters to cool down the area but not the entire patio has the misters. Note- the restaurant offers complimentary valet parking. The sign is hard to see so be on the look out.

Always one of my favorite restaurants. the Chilean sea bass is my favorite as is the jalapeño poppers which like no other I have experienced. Their Chocolate balloon cake is wonderful and the presentation is one to behold. We are going to miss them through the summer, but will be back at their door in the Fall.

Repeat visit for us. First time was fabulous, this time is was not good. Long wait to get drinks when we sat down... 20 minutes minimum. Then the waiter disappeared only to come back 30 minutes later to take our order. The noise was so bad we could hardly carry on a conversation. The food was great, but again... it took the waiter a long time to reappear. I am not sure we will return again. Very disappointing.
