    Been here many times and maybe they just had an off night. Had cold apps so hard to screw that up. My table had surf & turf, filet & sushi roll. All of them were bad. Steaks were terrible. I’d think twice about going back

    Wonderful service and everyone(including Mitch) was very personable which is something I feel is hit or miss since COVID and really sets apart a fine dining experience for me. We had the shishito peppers and crispy rice appetizer(unique and delish!). Everything on their menu sounded great but we ordered a few of their specialty sushi rolls and were not disappointed. The ambiance was unique for a sushi restaurant but the other traditional seafood entrees make it a good choice for dining with others that may not enjoy sushi.

    Mitch's has great service and good drinks. Seated quickly and food/drinks flowed rapidly. Sadly, the food was generally lacking in flavor and very pricey. Our Filet was very tender but had almost zero seasoning, as did the accompanying mashed potatoes. This was the least seasoned steaks I have ever had. Ahi salad had great presentation, but once again, the flavor was not there. Flourless desert cake was dry and disappointing and needed to be served ala-mode (one of those things just not worth the calories). We believe there are better alternatives in Palm Desert.

    6 of us ladies went for lunch and celebrated a friends birthday. They provided a complimentary piece of chocolate torte. A nice patio area and good service but once in awhile there was an odd smell. I'd like to eat inside next time or another area of the patio The decor is very nice out and in. Live music.

    We had an issue with our bill. Being honest we told them our bar bill had not been added to the bill. It took 30 minutes to get this resolved - and they were not too gracious about it - and we were doing the good deed. That being said - the food was delicious.

    We first found Mitch’s rated one of the top restaurants in the Palm Springs Life magazine in February 2023. It did not disappoint!! I got the 808 roll and was one of the best rolls i’ve ever had. My sister got the shrimp & scallops and she loved it. Amazing restaurant and would for sure recommend!!!
