I visited Mitchell's as recently as last week, hoping to have a better experience than previous occasions.

(The last time I was there, the fish was so dry, someone in my party actually requested tartar sauce just so they could get it down -_-)

Regardless, I know Mitchell's is a respected name in the area so I thought it would be a good place to meet someone for a drink.

Well, the bartender could pour a Guinness, but that was pretty much the extent of her service as she couldn't have been more indifferent.

She literally the bar completely unattended for a significant period of time. It wasn't busy, but never in my life have I been in a fine dining restaurant for 5-10 minutes without a single employee being present.

It was like a Ghost Town.

However, I'm easy going and work as a waiter so I'm pretty understanding about these things.

What I'm not understanding about is a dish labeled as a "Fish Market Specialty" tasting like something from T.G.I Fridays.

We had three appetizers and they ranged from, "I'd eat this again" to "Get this out of my face."

In summary, I'd avoid this place when there are so many superior options at a comparable price.

The only way I could possibly recommend this place is if they knocked off 10 dollars from everything they serve.

Seriously, they serve basic, regular fish dishes at exorbitant, 5-star fees.

AVOID AVOID AVOID!

Different species of fish flown in fresh daily, great service, nice atmosphere!

My wife and I were looking for a great place to eat with great service to celebrate our 32nd anniversary. The employees and management of Mitchell's Fish Market in Livonia did just that. My reservation was taken with ease, and the hostess insured that something special would be done to celebrate our special occasion. An outstanding meal served by a cheerful and polite staff was complimented with a thoughtful card and a beautiful rose that made our night particularly special. One of the managers even came to our table and introduced himself, wishing us a happy annoversary. I look forward to my next experience at this fine dining restaraunt, as my wife and I will be returning soon.

Dinner was lovely. Knowledgeable staff.
