Mitchell's Ocean Club

Mitchell's Ocean Club is great. I've been here a couple times and it never disappoints. While the price is definitely not cheap you get excellent food and wonderful service. The wait staff is very friendly and knowledgable and will make sure you have a great dining experience. The food of course is the main attraction here and whether you are seeking seafood or steak you are guaranteed to find something delightful. Each time I have been here we have ordered the raw oysters and they are so fresh and delicious each time. Presentation is a big deal at the Ocean Club as our oysters were brought out on an ice tray with the house made cocktail sauce in a "smoking" dish effect from dry ice in the center. Definitely makes is much more of an experience. I forgot to mention the drinks! The Ocean Club has some neat signature cocktails such as the Black Orchid and Elderflower la poire (it was called something like that). I won't spoil the excitement but if you want a delicious and memorable cocktail order one of those. As far as the rest of the meal goes my favorites include the ravioli appetizer which was also very tasty, the lobster bisque, and for the entree I thoroughly enjoyed the filet ala Oscar one time and the sea scallops another. The sides are served family style and my absolute favorite is the Black Truffle Mac & Cheese. It is to die for. The desserts are tasty as well and the coffee is served in a French press which adds a nice touch. Overall if you are looking for an upscale place with options for all don't miss out on Mitchell's Ocean Club.
