When I was in college, Mitchell's Fish Market (as it was known then) was like the pinnacle of fancy dining. I was excited to hear that my family decided to meet up there for a post-Thanksgiving/birthday celebration for my niece the day after Thanksgiving. My brother arranged their private room for our group of 13 and it was a great experience. It took a bit for them to make sure the room was ready, but it was so cozy and pretty. The "happy birthday" menus are a nice touch. We were also able to bring in our own cake/cupcakes. We ordered some appetizers for the table - calamari and spinach artichoke dip. They were both good but the spinach artichoke dip was my favorite. The calamari was cooked nicely but a little bland. The dipping sauces were nice and a good variety. For my entree, I went with the Market Catch - king ora salmon. You can choose from several different options and select your preferred cooking method. I went with broiled and asked for it medium rare. Our main meals all came out at staggered times, but it wasn't too bad. I really liked the mashed potatoes that came with my plate. The fish was a little under seasoned, but cooked pretty close to medium rare. The portion size was great for me. Others had the fish and chips, shrimp and crab tortellini, seared scallops and risotto, etc. The shrimp and crab tortellini looked especially delicious! I didn't hear any complaints about the meals. I did have a bite of the clam chowder and found the clam I had to be pretty chewy and tough. Our server was really great the entire time, with refills constantly being poured and managing everyone's orders well. I would recommend this spot for a special occasion in their private room. read more

Excellent dinner. The mail meals were fantastic perfectly prepared. Calamari appetizer was wonderful and the dessert sweet and delicious. BTW the service staff was very responsive. One of our better dinners at a restaurant in a long time. read more

From the moment I stepped in the doors, I was greeted with such hospitality. The staff and management team were amazing. It seems as though they knew what we needed before we even had to ask. Our food was phenomenal, kudos to the chef. I will be back again. read more

So good we traveled to Lansing, which is an hour, just to eat there again. Serves was not the best but not the worst by far

Always a great meal. House salad is tasty. Service is always spot on. Always feel comfortable and never rushed.

Kyle was a wonderful server! Great service and food! Food was quick and environment was nice.

Decent happy hours and a cute little bar off the Restraunt. Prices are good. Food was ok but not great. I think I'd like it better in the summertime on the patio. It's worth stopping but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. read more

The food was incredible. Our Server, Lillian stands out with amazing customer service. Her recommendations were spot on. The lobster bisque was delicious. The Cod stuffed with Lobster and shrimp was phenomenal!! Lillian made the experience fun!! read more

Service and food were excellent! General manager made her self available and checked on the guest. Our server Alexandria was excellent.

Best happy hour in the area hands-down! I tend to eat dinner early so big fan of happy hours with good food. Lots of burgers and tots in the Lansing area so this spot is refreshing. Wine prices are good, highly recommend the fish tacos. read more

My first time here and I loved the bread. Sourdough covered in butter, tasted great. The first set was a bit stale but the next batch was hot and tasty! My meal was the blackened fish tacos. I was hoping for a peppery flavor or Cajun or something. But it was instead very bland and almost dirty tasting. The double layer corn tortillas were a bit cold. Even the avocado and salsa in it were not enough to give it flavor, perhaps much more lime, I guess. Anyway it was not very satisfying for me. And if it was just that I would have give a 2-3 stars. However my wife and daughter had great meals. My wife had the seafood Americana. She loved the sauce and shared it with me to help me eat my bland blackened fish. My daughter loved her Shanghai sampler and was give chopsticks to enjoy it more. They gave us a free crème brûlée for my daughter's birthday and the service was good. All these factors bumped up my review stars. Oh the spinach dip was pretty good, but ask for no onions on top. That was a bit over the top. Over all a good experience and clean location. Perhaps be back another time. read more

Service was very slow. Took over 20mins to get drinks, over an hour to get our food and had to ask for our included dessert. Never got bread as we were promised. Got the sea bass, it was fishy. Expected better for a $50 meal. This place has gone down hill. read more

Was here about a week ago and both of our meals were not good. The steak had to be sent back 3 times and finally arrived tough. Our other seafood entree was mostly broth and spinach leaves. Dessert was disappointing. Manager in charge after we called did nothing about it. If you like good seafood do not go to.mitchells in lansing. read more

This review for Mitchell's Seafood in Lansing first gives a shout out to Mitchell's Manager, Art, & his staff, for his and their exceptional kindness and grace in accomodating a special birthday Feast for my wife's 66th birthday last weekend. My wife was paralyzed by a stroke eleven years ago, 5 days before she turned 55. After having been in nursing home for 24/7 skilled nursing care for the last 7 years, & now dying from end stage renal failure, I routinely bring in special take out meals to her for our celebrations. So, to acomódate her special requested 66th birthday dinner (for what could well be her last birthday on earth), I called Art & asked for his personal assistance in arranging something special for her! Art & his staff went the extra mile in assuring everything was perfect for her special takeout--the seared sea scallops, redskins, asparagas & carrot cake were prepared to absolute perfection for her. My steak, scampi, redskins, asparagas & key lime pie were equally perfect! Everything was absolutely top drawer for my special request, & for my wife's special last birthday dinner, prepared to perfection with special kindness, concern, respect & grace in the servings! Anyplace in town should envy Art & Mitchell's exceptional service for such a uniquely special requested birthday event like this! Customers with any similar special needs requests should seriously consider giving Art & Mitchell's a chance to go out of their way to serve your needs as well! Thank you Art, & your entire Mitchell's team, for your wonderful gifts of fine cuisine & exceptional service! ***** Five stars-- for your devotion & dedication & and for creating such extraordinary & memorable event for us! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Paul & Kallima Hamilton NB--Sadly, my wife Kallima, passed today, but thanks to Art & his team's kindness & diligent service, we were able to have one very special "last birthday on earth" supper together, last weekend on her last birthday, 4/26! Thanks again Art for making that memory possible for both of us!/P read more

We went to Mitchell's on Sunday night for an anniversary dinner with two of our children and their spouse. This visit was absolutely disappointing for the fact that they were out of so many things that we tried to order. There wasn't any filet mignon since they ran out. There wasn't any snow crab to add on to the order since they were out! You couldn't get picatta style fish since they were out. It was terribly frustrating! The manager came over only to say sorry but they didn't realize that MSU had parents weekend......really, who is reviewing what's happening for scheduling and ordering purposes?! He displayed very little care and seemed to be checked out. His handling of this was the final nail in what could have been a great evening. It will be a long time before I go back. read more

We ate here last night and I wasn't impressed. The staff kept commenting how busy they were as an excuse for their poor service. They didn't look that busy to me. The food is pretty average and the portion size is very small for the price. We started out with a caesar salad which was very dry. Then we had the lobster bisque soup which was very good. For our entree we had the stuffed cod which was ok. The fish was very tender but it needed some more seasoning. It was very average and not worth the price. Very small portion of mashed potatoes which were cold and the smallest piece of broccolini. I wasn't impressed. read more

Being in Lansing, I've searched for something seafood and Mitchell's popped up. Sitting at the bar, violet was the bartender. She was patient and courteous as this was my first time here. I ordered the Cucumber Lavender drink which was amazing! It was well made. She recommended the Ginger Salmon as an entree. It was to die for! It was encrusted and seasoned very well, cooked to perfection and flavorful. The presentation was on point as well. The atmosphere is pretty cool too. I feel like i was at the beach. read more

Just don't go. Far to inconsistent. Never order Uber eats from them. When it dot to my hotel room the reek of old fish permeated the air. Fresh fish, doesn't smell fishy. I had a couple of bites because I thought maybe I was overly critical. The fish was hard, not juicy, and if this was their attempt at blackening your southern passport has been revoked. Good to see them watering down the clam chowder again. No wonder Cameron Mitchell divested himself from this dumpster fire. Can't wait to see some corporate mouth breather request a survey based on my experience. Nope dope you read it all right here and you've already stole my time and money. We all have better things to do. read more

I was a bit iffy on this restaurant due to the current reviews. However, I went on a late Thursday night. I knew we were cutting it close to the restaurant closing time. At first I was having bad vibes. We walked in after a large party with about an hour left. They were taken to their seats promptly. However the hostess looked at us a party of only two and you could tell she was irritated and didn't want to seat us. She explained she had to look for a place since it was close to the closing time and she would be back. We said okay and waited and after what seemed to be around 10 minutes she finally found a seat.... However, after that our experience was beyond great! We had "fish" as our waitress and she was phenomenal! She made it a point to learn our names! She even brought out a vase to put the flowers in that my date brought me! For food we got a dozen oysters, and 2lbs of snow crab! Which was great! They divided the crab for each of us! Then we ended the night with crème brulee my favorite! We stayed way past the closing time and we were never rushed! In fact the manager came to check on us! All in all I LOVED the experience and plan to go back! read more

Excellent preparation, prepared as requested! Marlee's service was exceptional and such a pleasure to have her! Though our seating area was full, we didn't notice mouse or conversation bleeding into our space which certainly added to our 5 star experience! read more

My girlfriend and I came in tonight as a spontaneous dinner date. Although we did not have a reservation, they were able to seat us right away. We have had their fish and chips for take out. But this was our first time dining in. We were at a loss for words. I forget the actual name of our server, but she said her nickname was cheese. She was outstanding. She asked us for our names and would address us using our names. She made it feel very welcoming. At one point I said "I'm sorry but can I get some ketchup" she immediately said there's no need to ever apologize and that she was more than happy to get whatever I needed. She was on top of refilling our drinks. She also was always giving suggestions on what she likes on the menu. Server aside, as stated before with this being our first time dining in, we only have ever had the fish and chips. This time we had the calamari for an appetizer, it was wonderful. We were skeptical as we ordered calamari from Bravo, next door and it was absolutely horrible. But this calamari was amazing. We ordered our usual fish and chips for dinner, amazing as always. And for dessert I ordered the creme brûlée and my girlfriend ordered the shark fin sundae (I believe it was called something like that). I cannot say a single thing bad about this place. The place is pricey, so we can't go here super often, but trust when I say we will definitely be back! read more

Mitchell’s Seafood House - Creme brûlée and the shark fin sundae - Seafood Near Me - Lansing, Michigan

On Saturday, 4/12/25, 6:30p, service was only average, and food was below average. Ordered walleye. It was burnt on the outside and thin and dry on the inside. I doubted it was even walleye. Culver's walleye is far superior (portion size and price). Partner ordered filet mignon well done. It was practically bleeding when brought. Had to be taken back to be cooked as requested. Server did not offer pepper for my Caesar salad, or tartar sauce for my fish. Server barely checked on us. My water glass ran dry too. Bummer experience. read more

Was looking forward to going to this restaurant while visiting our daughter . Service was great . Scallops had a very odd and old taste . Sent it back and got a cod dish , husband's steak way overcooked,, dry , dry , dry. . Our waitress did make things right with my dish. Manger offered a free dessert, after hearing about both complaints. Unfortunately, we will not be going back. read more

great food, service and ambiance! Bartenders are super friendly and remember your favorite drinks!

Great food , great staff! Always welcomed when I step through the door! Bar staff are super friendly!

We love going to the Happy Hour. The Sangria is amazing. We also order catering takeout during the holidays. Great outdoor dining.

Always enjoy coming to Mitchell's when we lived in Michigan and when we come back to visit. Fresh seafood well prepared and friendly staff. Great spot for big groups or a date night. read more

Food was okay and pricey. Not sure if its worth coming back. The atmosphere was great and our server was attentive. We ordered two appetizers and two main dishes, not worth it. The flavor was not quite there and the portions were small. Rather go somewhere else where it's more affordable but better flavor. read more

Over priced and over rated is how I'd describe Mitchell's on first try at this restaurant. I know it's a chain, so that's one strike. I'm not going to eat at one again after this experience. I ordered happy hour specials, including the margarita (weak and lame), shrimp potstickers (covered in an unbelievably salty sauce), and Bloody Mary oysters (serviceable). I followed with Mitchell's Market Trio (see photos) for $31. My plate came out underwhelming. Two measly half stacks of asparagus, corn that wasn't part of the menu description, salmon that was over seasoned and nearly over cooked and dry, a crab cake that was decent, and shrimp that were the consistency of leather and also over seasoned. The waiter came over and asked me if I wanted another drink, I politely declined and pointed out the issue with the shrimp. He seemed surprised, but apologized, then took them away and brought a new order of shrimp a few minutes later much more presentable and edible. I guess I figured that for a $30 plate of seafood, it should be somewhat decent, but heck, I am in the middle of Michigan, and they don't offer local seafood. My bad. Oh, and their WiFi is untenable. My server Anthony was on point and attentice, which is why I have two stars instead of one. read more

We had lunch there, last week. We ordered an appetizer, and soup. Our meal was great. Our server, Cheese, made the whole experience even better. She asked our names, and continued to greet us by name, with each time she came to the table. She was awesome!!! Thank you Cheese. read more

I had lunch a Mitchell's for a business lunch last week. The food was good (hot & tasty), but the service by the hostess and the waitress was exceptional. Cheese (that's what people call her) was the waitress and she was on top of everything at our table and all the tables she was in charge of. A lot to be learned by the way she treated her customers. Bravo Cheese! read more
