I had such high hopes for Mitchell 's. The menu and decor were so Legal Seafood ish (one of our favorite restaurants in Boston, so that 's a very high compliment). Our waitress was exceptional. She brought out our soup (clam chowder very good) and bread (also very good), as well as our daughter 's noodles, very quickly which made us and our daughter happy since we were all starving! When our main course arrived (after a bit longer of a wait than I expected), my husband 's food was luke warm. Our wonderful waitress took it back, had his dinner re prepared, and took his entree off of our bill. Like I said excellent service. Unfortunately, the food didn 't measure up to the service or atmosphere. I had the Shang Hai Seafood Sampler (a salmon, scallop and shrimp combo on spinach and sticky rice). And while my salmon was fair, the shrimp and scallops were rather bland. Perhaps they were relying on the way to overpowering soy ginger sauce in the bottom of the bowl. My husband 's fish (cod), even re prepared, was chewy. He swears that, although menu claimed it to be fresh, the texture screamed I 've been frozen! The prices were high (around $20 per dinner) especially since the food wasn 't very good. All in all, the service and atmosphere would bring me back, just to see if we hit them on an off night. But I think next time, we 'll try them for lunch.
