I've been to Mitchell's Fish House several times, and while the food is consistently fresh and delicious, it's the outstanding staff that keeps me coming back. From the moment you walk through the door, you feel welcomed and well-taken care of. A massive shoutout to Robin, who provided some of the best service I've had in a long time. Robin was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and had the perfect balance of professionalism and friendliness. The entire team from the receptionist to the staff clearly takes pride in what they do. read more

Growing up my family and I used to eat at Mitchell's during special occasions back when they had a location in Birmingham, MI. Their banana foster bread pudding was so good that my brother and I actually drove roughly a half hour from our house just to pick up a carryout order for it. Sadly this location doesn't have this dessert, but I was happy to know they still have another restaurant in Livonia. Unfortunately Mitchell's doesn't seem to have the same magic as they once did. The food is fine, but I could tell my fish tacos were not made from fresh fish. They have lunch specials to encourage people to dine here, but when I came the last few times it always looked empty. Not a bad restaurant at all, but when you are charging for items like it's high end and offering something that tastes like it could be served at Red Lobster, that doesn't sit well with me read more

The lunch box special is great value for dollar. My salad with dates and pine nuts was huge and delicious and then followed by the shrimp blackened pasta which was a huge portion, I ended up taking some home to go. Note the bread is amazing too. read more

Love the ambiance here at night for a date night with me and my husband. I tried the swordfish for the first time and it was delicious. Our server suggested it and it was a great suggestion. Our server was so nice and down to earth as well. We had a great night read more

Great place for seafood. Has a couple of dining rooms, lots of seats around the bar, a few seats at a raw bar, and ample outside parking. Each day they have a featured add-on. We went on a Wednesday, and it was a 5-piece skewer of shrimp. Can get a variety of fish done 4 different ways (grilled, sauteed, broiled, or blackened) plus several specialty dishes. The cedar-planked salmon was great. Can get a seafood sampler and try different choices. Each dinner comes with seafood, usually potatoes, a vegetable, and a sauce. They have several salad choice and a few appetizer choices. Prices can be on the high side for things like oysters, or crab legs, or copper river salmon, but reasonable otherwise. Full bar for drinks. You can get - for a fixed price - an appetizer, main course, and dessert out of a subset of choices. Great service; he explained various options. read more

We came on a Friday night and it was busy but we didn't have to wait for a table. I would definitely recommend reservations if you're a big group. Our server was great and checked in on us frequently. The food was subpar, a lot of it was over salted and pretty pricey for the taste. The seafood itself tasted fresh but the saltiness really detracted from the taste of the overall dish read more

First thing's first, the server was tremendous and I feel terrible I can't recall her name. Funny, upbeat, good recommendations, and attentive. Next, the food was great. I was on a tear with Chilean sea bass orders, this being the third Chilean sea bass for dinner in a row that week, and I can confidently say it was the best. Our group was seated promptly and but for the table seating where the person behind me was on top of me, requiring us to play chair Jenga to get out of our seats, this was a great and enjoyable meal. Will return if ever back in the area. read more

I was looking for something healthier for lunch, so I settled on the Cedar Roasted Salmon, and was pleasantly surprised. The salmon was cooked perfectly and was well seasoned. I liked the sundried tomato pesto, and the potatoes were crispy and delicious. I would order this again. read more

My husband and I had an impromptu dinner date when our power went out. We had great service and I was really glad I had made reservations because when we arrived the wait was at least an hour. The food was delicious I the 3 course dinner with the ginger crusted salmon. And I highly recommend the chocolate butter cake! read more

(Last visited 12/21/2022.) Hanging out in Michigan on business and I've always heard great things about Mitchell's Seafood House, so today's the day I take Mom and Dad there to check it out! Here's how it went. Atmosphere/Appearance: Having a private parking lot is a huge plus because it takes away the stresses of having to find someplace to park, then paying for it and having to walk further than necessary to get to the restaurant. Once inside you're transported to what feels like the northeast, but like a modernistic version of it. The outside is a standalone brick building, but inside boasts dark tiles, chic nautical themes and lights walls/ceilings that give the space a more open appeal. It wasn't very loud in here at all either. Service: Raj took care of us and they were excellent. There was nothing that we had to ask for. Food: So known for their seafood, I stuck to that exclusively. I started off with the Maine Lobster Bisque. It was deliciously smooth, flavorful and creamy, but was missing chunks of lobster which I have seen in almost every other lobster bisque that I've had. No big deal. For my entree I went with the Dynamic Duo which consists of a stuffed lobster tail, grilled BBQ shrimp, asparagus and garlic mashed potatoes. The presentation wasn't the best, but the food was pretty good. I loved the fact that they bring a device to the table that allows the butter for the lobster to be set on top of a small flame to keep it from congealing. I had never seen anything like that before! The food was delicious! Shrimp felt a little overcooked though. Value: At the time my soup was $10.90 and my entree was $42.00. Now, the soup is $11.50 and the Dynamic Duo is no longer offered according to their online menu. Naturally, this is a seafood restaurant and it's going to be expensive. Bring the wallet for sure. Lol. In conclusion, I liked this place and can understand the hype for sure. Would I come back? Sure! It wouldn't be my choice, but I'd have no problem joining someone else if they wanted to check it out. Thank you for reading. read more

What a pleasant surprise. I stopped there on Sunday, 5-31-26. I sat at the bar. Both servers were great, hard working, attentive, friendly, courteous, personable. That is a big plus to me. The shrimp cocktail was the best I've had in a long time. Large, top quality and the cocktail sauce was fantastic. The clam chowder and bread and butter were also fantastic. I had a carry out that I have not eaten yet, but it smells awesome. Quite a memorable time. I am looking forward to returning there and telling others about how good it was. read more

I Was in on the 24th for lunch/dinner had that Dillion F as my server he was super friendly and on point with his service definitely coming back !! read more

I've heard nothing but good things about this place. Unfortunately, the first impression was not a good one. After speaking with the manager, she rectified the situation right away. I was pleased with the menu options. I started off with a peach tea lemonade. It was served with fresh mint, which I enjoyed. I ordered the Shanghai seafood sampler. It had shrimp, scallops, and salmon with spinach in ponzu. The sauce made the dish more flavorful. I substituted the sticky rice for mashed potatoes. Although, I feel like I really should have ate it with the rice. I also had the lobster bisque. No complaints. Our waiter was Alex. He was really attentive, friendly, and helpful. I wouldn't mind going back here and giving some other dishes a try. read more

Come here for the happy hour and this review is just for that. Came here at 5:30pm on a Friday night, no issue getting a table. We ordered the following items from the happy hour menu: - Spinach & artichoke dip - crispy calamari - Korean BBQ Wings (5 wings came in an order), ended up ordering this 3x - crispy fish sandwich with fries (fries $2 extra) - blackened fish street taco - Spicy Crispy Shrimp - double cheeseburger with fries (fries $2 extra) - 1/2 dozen oysters The bar area was busy, the formal dining area wasn't as busy, but lot of folks were there as well, but yeah, stay in the bar area and enjoy different food options at a very reasonable price. We got the six oysters and crab cakes off the main menu, but outside of that, we ordered off the happy hour menu. Definitely give the double cheeseburger a try, it was our favorite, then the wings, as we ended up ordering that 3x. Each order of the wings come with 5 pieces of wings, but they are pretty big wings. We were happy with the food, the service was bit slow as the waiter was busy with multiple tables, but the food runner made sure we got our food. read more

The restaurant is close to my hotel so i decided to go there for happy hour. Their happy hour items looked pretty good, reasonably priced. I got a seat at the bar. Nobody greeted me for a while. When i finally got a bartender's attention, she gave me a glass of water and a menu. I knew what I wanted so I was ready to order but she told me to hold on. She never came back to take my order. Another bartender came and greeted ppl who came after me. Again, nobody took my order. After the second bartender came back to deliver the drinks to ppl next to me, she finally took my drink and food order. I got a moscato white sangria and a spinach and artichoke dip. They were ok. As I was still munching on my chips, the first bartender came and almost took my plate away when I was still eating. My first experience wasn't great overall. read more

Years ago was outstanding. Last 2 trips were very poor. Fish dry, overcooked, hush puppies undercooked & raw dough in centers. Daughter had seafood dish that lacked flavor, scallops were tiny cheap things.. left 75% to throw out. Noticed restaurant was only half - 2/3 full, on Father's Day! Obviously many people are experiencing the same lack of quality and service. Didn't complain, paid bill in full & 25% tip. (Not waiters fault) Sad, but it seems 'another one bites the dust'! read more

Staff was friendly. It was very busy and the service at first was slow but then as it cleared it the service was decent. The restaurant was full even the bar area. The food tasted okay. I have to say the calamari was great especially the trio of sauces the wasabi aioli and kimchi sauces were great. The king psi was okay it was sweet but none of the sauces were spicy at all. We also ordered the fish and chips and I had the Chilean sea bass grilled and blackened. It didn't come with any type of sauce. It wasn't cooked throughly the first time I got it. It was okay when I did get it. The server was very polite and understanding about the Sea Bass being undercooked. The mashed potatoes and veggies were just green beans and shredded carrots. They were cooked well but were bland in taste. The fish and chips were very good came with a tartar sauce and also hush puppies which were also good. I recommend order an entree other than the fish of the day. read more

We had a lovely dinner there tonight. We got there at 4:00 p.m. So it wasn't busy yet but by the time we left at 6:30 it was pretty packed. Our waitress was very nice and friendly and told us the specials and she had opinions on the best dishes and cocktails which was great. Her service was top notch. The food was also very good. I had twin lobster tails, and my cousin had the seafood boil. Both of these items were on their Memorial day special menu. I wish these were both on the menu permanently because I'd definitely get it again. The lobster tail was very good and so was the seafood boil. Lots of food on the seafood boil. My cousin ended up taking leftovers home. We started with the calamari and it was pretty good. It was a tad bland on first bite and it needed just a tad of salt but that was no problem because I just used the salt on the table. I am not one that normally adds salt to my food, but it needed it. I had the house salad which was very yummy and my cousin had the clam chowder which she thought was delicious. When our meals arrived we were very impressed with them. The flavors were great and the portions were good. The cocktails weren't the strongest but they were pretty good flavorwise. I had a house martini and I think it was a lot of juice in there so the waitress did have them remake it and it came back much better. So just a heads up on that, the cocktails are creative and pretty, but they're also on the sweeter side and not strong. I like that they brought lemon in a hot towel at the end of the meal. I don't know if they do that for every meal but they did with these specials. It's a cute place, it's spacious and I think it could be good for smaller groups. The location is also pretty accessible right off the freeway so it's easy to get to. I'll definitely be back to try other things. read more

I have been to Mitchell's Seafood House quite a few times now and have forgotten to do a review. This trip, I had the "Seafood Americana" which I had been debating for many visits now. It was PHENOMENAL and I wished I had gotten it sooner! I thought it was going to be like a Cioppino which is what I didn't want. This had tons of scallops, shrimp, potatoes, spinach, and that cream sauce. Wonderful and not too thick. I will definitely be having this again on my next business trip through town. Well done. read more

Good place for a nice night out for dinner. They have this meal dew for 39$ that had great choices. I ordered the deal with lobster bisque soup, steak tenderloin bites and vanilla crème brûlée. Steak has a nice seasoning to it, but was a small portion I feel. Maybe a bigger piece would have been better in my opinion. The soup was delicious! It has lobster pieces that you could see and taste unlike other places. I'm not a fan of vanilla, but the dessert was really good too. As far as alcohol, I'm not a drinker. However, the did have these wonderful mocktails! This makes me feel important because a lot of places don't have this. They just mix juice and charge you 12$. This was an actual mocktail experience with alcohol free vodka! The Caramel Apple martini was so good, it was the best mocktail I've ever had. 10/10! Our waiter was friendly. He didn't check in on us much, but that's was ok because my guest and I were in deep conversation. I feel the waiter really was respecting that. Overall I really enjoyed this place and will return for the mocktails. read more

8 of us on a Tuesday 6pm. It was not too busy or too slow. Service was good and fast, sometimes we did not get all of our beer orders so had to remind our server. No biggies though. Appetizers were all delicious. Jump Shrimp Cocktail was huge and good, Crispy Calamari was everyone's favorite and Ahi Tuna Poke Appetizer, as well, was yummy! As this is a fish restaurant, had to get fish. I got Chilean Sea Bass, could choose how it was cooked, grilled or seared, etc. I chose seared and it was fabulous. Very juicy, full of taste and came with vegetables and mashed potatoes. Vegetables were a little dry and probably needed some salt but I was fine with consuming less sodium. The desserts!! We got seven of the different desserts they had. By far, my favorite was the Sharkfin Pie. It's an icecream cake with honey roasted peanuts, fudge, peanut butter and Oreo cookie crust. It was soooo good! Very good restaurant for high quality fish dishes and the atmosphere was perfect for business dining. Attentive server and mistakes were quickly fixed. read more

Amazing time at Mitchell's last week! Dillion was my server and he made my entire experience top notch!! Not only did he provide the best service, he was making all of my friends laugh nonstop!! Food was eh, but I would come back here specifically to have Dillion serve my friends and family! High key give this guy a raise. Super real, super refreshing! read more

I went to this restaurant because of the good reviews, but the fish was maybe a B and the veggies on the side were a D. Not fresh, no flavor. The bread was not great either. I'm not sure what the hype is about. read more

First of all our waiter was a nice person. However. While our order was screwed up, he did not come to our table once in 24 minutes while we waited....not once. Speaking of the order, one of the managers came and apologized for someone turning off the steamer in the back kitchen, so our dinner was going to be a few minutes delayed. It already was 22 minutes delayed. It took another five minutes. 27 minutes from the time we were given a salad to the time our dinner showed up... my wife lobster was OK. My crab legs were too salty, the potatoes that I had ordered were too salty. Simply not edible! Too salty, and as the waiter took them away, he mentioned. Oh yes, I can see the salt all over them. They were never replaced by the way... my wife's potatoes were room temperature. This whole thing which cost $180, was just such a shame. A lousy experience, spending a decent amount of money..... and to top it off, the managers never even bother to apologize nor offer anything complementary whatsoever. I'm not sure I will go back there unless I just want the shark fin pie, which is a truly great dessert.... This place has gone downhill in the last 10 years and it is very obvious..... I give one star for the dessert, and I get one star because our waiter was a nice guy. Everything else deserves nothing. read more

We were Seated quickly. Our Server Robin brought water and bread quickly. Not drinks or apps order took 10 minutes later for that. To be fair she was overwhelmed working four tables. Under staffed. Happy hour is only in the bar. Rediculous. Beers were warm when they came. Bacon wrapped shrimp app was missing bacon. What! Fish and chips. Stuffed salmon and mashed potatoes and salad are great. Food is not the problem. The business model is. We will probably go the Bonefish from now on. 125 bucks for shitty service and expensive warm beers and long waits is inexcusable. Out. read more

Took my mom here for a hella belated mother's day dinner. We got a table without any wait. Our server was over super fast, which was fine, but we hadn't gotten to look at anything yet. Other than that, our server was good. We got spinach artichoke dip as an app, and we each got one of their seasonal sangrias. All were delicious. Mom got sea bass and I got cod. We both loved our meals. Everything was delicious. No room for dessert, sadly. I thought it was a little odd their Irish coffee had green creme de menthe listed. That's not at all the Irish coffee I know. My only real complaint is that the tables are so so small. Not even in terms of stomach/boob distance from the table, but our 2 entree plates could barely fit opposite and our feet kept accidentally kicking. I ate most of the meal with my feet tucked as close to the bench as I could get them and I am not a tall person. I can't imagine someone taller comfortable fitting in those booths. If you are taller than average, or even a slightly bigger person, I'd suggest a table over a booth. read more

We went for a birthday dinner. The food was just ok, nothing special. The bread was plain, the fish was what you'd get at Red Lobster, there's just nothing special or delicious that would make me want to go back. And the service was disappointing. Our server was tied up with a big table so we had to wait a long time to place our order and our drinks weren't refilled. Don't think I will be going back. read more

Good food. Good service. Nice variety of options. Hosted family members for dinner. Everyone had a great experience.

Food was amazing. The place is clean. The service was a little slow, but it did seem busy.

I had a reservation at 7pm and ordered around 720 waited an hour after that for sub par cold food not worth the wait AT ALL!! They kept saying that the large party in a different room is making us wait over an hour for food... don't take my reservation then. This place has gone completely downhill... would not recommend!! read more

We LOVED their service and Food until tonight. Must say it seemed our Server couldn't be bothered with us. Portions were small and Cold and when he did come back it was to see if we needed more Water. Very disappointed to what Should have Been Memorable. read more

I can't even begin to describe or explain how terribly grotesque this carrot cake was. Let me start off by mentioning that hair cake is my absolute most favorite cake in the entire world. It was my birthday and I was sick and I had to cancel my party so the only thing I really wanted was carrot cake. I googled well actually I went on yelp and tried to look for carrot cake and this picture of Mitchell's cake appeared and I was like oh my goodness that looks so delicious. So I ordered it and when I tell you what I received was the complete opposite 180°. It was thee driest, it was not flavorful and possibly the worst carrot cake I've ever had in my life. I don't even want to dine in for dinner due to the fact that this cake was so bad. I literally wanted to cry as I was already sick on my birthday. read more
