Mitchell’s Fish Market

I have Celiac’s so I ordered off of the Gluten Free menu (just ask the server). Speaking of the Gluten Free menu, why weren’t there any prices on the menu? I found that strange. At any rate, I chose the burrata and mozzarella side salad special ($ 11) to start. It came with some cut up cherry tomatoes and an avocado mouse (I chose to skip the pistachio crumble) and found the portion very small for the price. My entrée was the Shanghai Shrimp, Scallops, & Salmon. The gluten free option was accompanied by sticky rice, spinach, and a gluten free red wine soy sauce. I was extremely disappointed by what was brought out to me. Yes, I cannot have gluten, but that doesn’t mean I want bland and tasteless. The 3 shrimp, 3 small scallops, and piece of salmon that came out were the decoration surrounding my mound of unflavored white rice and the small ramekin of soy sauce. I mean to not even use butter, salt, or pepper? Anything?! At best, My meal could be called a flavorless deconstructed sushi. I order a side of smashed redskin potatoes (to which I had to add salt and butter to make palatable) and snuck some crab legs off of my dinner companions so I didn’t have to leave the restaurant poorer and unsatisfied. The service was very friendly and fast, no complaints there. The atmosphere, at least on a Sunday, left a little to be desired and the food is just horrible, or at least the gluten free options are. So disappointed. I’ve uploaded pictures of my main dinner (after I added the super salty soy sauce to the rice). I’d give this place a pass, unless you plan to just come for the crab legs.

So many layers of disappointment here… The food was mediocre at best. I got the pecan crusted trout and it came out cold. Actually, my and my daughter’s food arrived first, and we sat there patiently waiting for five minutes until my wife and other daughter’s food arrived.
Speaking of poor service, they forgot half my daughter’s meal so by the time it was brought to her we were all done eating.
With so many other dining choices nearby, I would suggest skipping this place and going somewhere else.

Fancy place. Not impressed with the food. Started with a cup of lobster bisque. That was room temperature.
Then ordered Sea Bass for main course. That was a big disappointment. I sent it back to the kitchen twice because fish was cold. The manager did not bother to come to our table to speak to me. Waitress ended up taking the dinner off my bill. That’s the least they can do since I left there hungry. Two thumbs down. I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

USED to be my favorite restaurant. USED to be is the operative word. 2^nd time here recently and both times a disappointment. Tonight, service was horrible! I had to send my tuna back twice. It was grizzly like a steak. Twice. Couldn’t cut it with my knife. Won’t be back. Too pricy for this.

The seafood is generally very good. King crab legs were cold and the service was horrible on two of the last three visits. Very disappointing that we told them twice that it was a special occasion and that completely ignored it; no acknowledgement.

Average service. Entrée came out cold. I believe they plated the veggies then added the fish some time after.
Food was ok, but not served hot. Had to ask for bread. Really?
Waiter never came back to check on us.

This is the first time that I’ve been to Mitchell’s in a couple of years. I used to dine here, frequently, but the last few times, the food wasn’t the same. This visit wasn’t much different. Not what I expect from a Cameron Mitchell restaurant. My husband and I made reservations thru Open Table, arrived at the allotted time and were immediately seated in a booth. The seating in the booths had definitely seen better days, as we both settled into huge indentations in each side of the booth benches. We reviewed the menu and decided on a couple glasses of wine, which were decently priced. I ordered the Thai salad and Shanghai salmon, shrimp and scallop entrée. My husband ordered a cup of gumbo and fish & chips. Our appetizers arrived a short time later. My salad was pretty good, sweet, spicy and lots of crunchy veggies. My husband wasn’t thrilled with the gumbo (which he used to love). He said that there wasn’t much to it, not enough meat nor any other gumbo ingredient. There was a little bit of a wait for the entrees, but we did have fresh bread and butter to snack on, while we waited. When the food arrived, it was just ok. The salmon, shrimp and scallops were all overcooked. The salmon was borderline mushy, instead of tender and flaky. The scallops were a bit tough and shrimp were tiny and tough. There was a huge portion of rice in a soy/​teriyaki type sauce and an ample portion of green beans. The flavor profile was on-​point, but the proteins were disappointing. My husband mentioned that that the fish and chips were ok. Tiny portion of tarter sauce to accompany his entrée, so he had to request more. I ordered Key Lime pie for dessert, which was pretty tasty. All in all, I wouldn’t rush back to Mitchell’s. Our bill totaled $ 92, which would have been better spent elsewhere.

Love Mitchell’s — even with new ownership. Great quality seafood on the east side. Service was good for us late on a weeknight. Glad they were open!

Had the Clam Chowder, the Sea Bass and a 3 dessert platter. Everything was fresh tasting and delicious. I love sweets but the desserts were my least favorite part of the meal. The rest of the food was so good I would have rather had more of it and passed of the dessert. That’s not to say the dessert wasn’t good, it was. The other food was just better.
Food = Great
Waiter = Great
Prices = Not bad

For the money it was disappointing. Tables had no table cloths, no center pieces, loud music.
Again for the money the portions of food were very chinchy. But the food was very good.
Would not return.

Great food and atmosphere. Started off with the jumbo lump crab dip and it was so good. Then I got the Perfect Pair, which was crab stuffed shrimp, and lobster and crab stuffed lobster with red skin mashed potatoes and asparagus. It was all so delicious, and I would love to go back to try the bacon wrapped bbq shrimp (as an appetizer). We ended with the crème brûlée (I am a sucker for a great crème brûlée)

I honestly wished I’d eaten at home last night instead of Mitchell’s. We had a reservation for a party of 8 and were seated on time. Tucked a bit out of the way, but at least we were able to hold a conversation since the room wasn’t crowded. It made my wonder why they were stating there was a 30 minute wait to those arriving when half the tables near us remained empty the entire evening.
We waited 10 – 15 minutes for our server. In fact, another server came by to say she’d be there shortly. Once she arrived she took our drink orders, which took about 20 minutes to arrive. She returned to bring water and take our orders for appetizers, which, sadly, arrived before our drinks did. Service was slow throughout the evening, and although she was courteous and did the job I can only say she was average.
I ordered the bourbon glazed salmon which was overcooked and cool when it arrived. The glaze was hard and crusty on the bottom and I ended up leaving that on the plate. Without the glaze the salmon was bland. My husband had the shrimp and chips, which were also overcooked. The hush puppies were hard and dry, and everything arrived lukewarm or cold. We’ve had better at local franchise restaurants at half the price with better service.
I looked over the menu online before we went, as I try to make healthy choices when dining out, and noticed that the prices online were not updated. Cocktails listed at $ 8.25 were $ 10 and food prices were also higher.
The floors were wet and dirty and the bathroom needed attention. I expect more when I dine at a restaurant considered to be upscale. We will not return.

I lived in Columbus when Cameron Mitchell still owned the Fish Market and it was fantastic. I’m a seafood-​lover and I trusted that even after the sale of the chain they could still maintain the quality of food.
I was foolish to think so. I’ve had two terrible meals there in the past month. I wants to give them more than one chance, but that was yet another mistake on my part. The food reminds me of an Applebee’s or some godawful chain that simply nukes pre-​made meals. I don’t know if that’s what they’re doing, but that’s how it tastes. My meals were bland, poorly cooked and sparse in terms of the actual fish/​seafood on the plate. My husband’s entrée was just as dismal.
Cameron, you are greatly missed. Hopefully, the Woodmere location will close down soon, so a real restaurant can take its place.

I absolutely LOVE Mitchell’s! Everything here is awesome. The food, drinks, service… all fantastic. I’m kind of surprised to read poor reviews for this place, because every time I’ve been to Mitchell’s I’ve had a great experience. The staff has always been friendly, courteous and accommodating.
My favorite dishes here: Alaskin king crab legs (obvs), the clam chowder, jumbo shrimp cocktail, calamari, house salad, cedar plank salmon and the tuna… it’s some of the best seafood I’ve ever had.

We had made reservations ahead of time to avoid the wait and when we got seated we were disappointed! They put us in a corner that was definitely meant for a 4 – 5 top table and we had 7 people in our party so it was a bit crowded and awkward.
When we got our initial server, it seemed like he was more attentive to the party of 2 next to us compared to my party of 7. I had to call him over to my table just to get a drink order in because he rushed away from my table right after I ordered a couple of appetizers.
Later when we got moved to a more comfortable seating, we got a new server. She was awesome! The service here was great and attentive. She was busy so we understand that there may be a little wait for some things, but with good company we didn’t pay much attention to it.
The food on the other hand… It was delicious but would of been better if it was served warm rather than cold. We had to make some changes with the soup because their lobster bisque was very bitter and bland. Horrible combination if you ask me. The New England Clam Chowder was amazing! It was chunky so you know you got what you paid for. The entrees were served simultaneously but was upsetting because 5 out of 7 of our guests were highly disappointed on the taste of everything and 7 out of 7 were disappointed on the temperature of our meals. Some lacked seasoning so the taste was very bland. Some had an over abundance of butter so you couldn’t taste anything but that. The mashed potatoes were delicious and rich in flavor and served warm! The twin lobsters with the sides were cold along with the asparagus.
Overall, service is great, drinks are great, but food would of been great as well if it was served warm rather than cold.

My wife and I took my parents out to dinner to calibrate my Moms birthday. We had the Brie appetizer it was very good. My Mom had the twin lobster tails, I had the yellow fin tuna, my Dad had the ginger salmon and my Wife had the Scallops. Everything came out temperature hot and cooked correctly. It was all very good and fresh tasting.
For desert I has the key lime pie, my Dad had mango sorbet, my Mom had the shark fin desert. The deserts was also very good. I would recommend this Resturant if you like fish as there are several differs way to have your fish cooked.

Attended a ladies luncheon of 32. Was held in the back dining room facing the interior of Eton Mall. Wonderful service, from working with the assistant manager to the waiters. Started with the best New England clam chowder ever. Had choice entrée of Asian shrimp chopped salad, Trout with mashed potatoes and veggies, or Jerk chicken with mango salsa on beans and rice. Comments were all very good. Dessert was a platter of the prettiest decorated spring themed cookies that were carried in. Program was a fashion show by a boutique in the mall. A very nice and fun afternoon. Thank you, Mitchell’s!

To sum it all up: don’t eat here.
Seat yourselves because the hostesses are busy — talking to each other.
If you do decide to eat here, get sangria. It was the only really good thing at the table.
Only order lettuce wraps if you want hard, dry chicken breast chopped and thrown on top of lettuce with noodles and peanuts. Disappointment. Buuuut not more disappointing than the Tuna Poke tacos. Not quality sushi grade tuna… basically just chopped chunks of the tuna they serve for dinner. Yuk!
Ok let’s just order soup. Can’t go wrong there! Wrong! I think the gumbo was out of a can. A really old can, bc it reaked of funky seafood. No thanks.
Ok last try. Jerk tilapia. Only get this if you want a really expensive piece of mini tilapia, lightly seasoned and not jerk. Complete with cold veggies.
The waiter was nice though. See you again NEVER, Mitchell’s!

Big night out with the girlfriend’s parents and family a few weeks back. Since we had a gift card we went along.
Gotta say, the service was good and the appetizers were good also. in fact i tried raw oysters here for the first time and loved them.
Neither of us, though, much cared for our dinners. She had the crispy ginger salmon and i had something w/​shrimp, scallops and salmon (i think). There was nothing really awful but nothing that knocked my socks off. Her salmon was not crispy at all. Due to the fairly expensive prices i doubt we’ll be back. you never know though.

Good middle of the road chain seafood restaurant. We didn’t stretch their skills tonight as we both chose the British Fish and Chips. Not up to British standards (of course) but good, decent portion and worth trying. The service was great, and the quiet ambience (early dinner — around 5pm) was just right to enable us to chill after a stressful day of making funeral arrangements :(
Didn’t really care for the apple martini at all, but the Chardonnay was decent.
