"Here's a 3-star review for Mitchell's that captures your experience, while maintai A Missed Opportunity on Mother's Day at Mitchell's ??? I chose Mitchell's for a special Mother's Day dinner, hoping for a break from cooking and a memorable experience. We had a reservation for 6:30 PM and were seated by 6:45 PM, which was reasonably timely. Unfortunately, the evening had several hiccups that dampened our spirits. The set menu was promising, but our experience didn't quite live up to expectations. Early on, we were told that bread would be served, yet it never arrived. Service for drinks was slow, affecting even non-alcoholic options, and when they did arrive, some had a mysterious brown residue on the glass and others had particles floating in them. Our soup and salad courses were out of sync, with a noticeable delay between them. More disappointingly, by the time we placed our dinner orders, several menu items were already unavailable. I found the cod underwhelming and lacking in flavor, a poor substitute for the unavailable swordfish I had hoped for. Desserts were another area where our patience was tested. What should have been a sweet end to our meal turned into a 30-minute wait, followed by more unavailable choices. This resulted in some of us having to select and then re-select alternatives, which was frustrating. Furthermore, there was confusion with our drink orders; my second drink arrived after dessert, and were given a drink we hadn't ordered twice. On a positive note, the ambiance of the restaurant was fitting for the occasion, and the staff, despite the evening's issues, were polite and did their best under the circumstances. Mitchell's could be a wonderful dining destination, but on this occasion, several improvements are necessary. It was disheartening, especially on a day meant to celebrate and pamper the special moms in our lives, that they didn't get to enjoy the meals they looked forward to. . I hope Mitchell's can address these issue"
