I also really like the seafood at Kincaid's, located in the same mall area as Mitchell's. Both places have fantastic bread, excellent wait staff, and free parking (way easier than parking downtown!).Jessica in Noblesvillenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7700721558717637465.post-40280246659482748712011-06-28T16:04:34.656-04:002011-06-28T16:04:34.656-04:00If I am craving seafood, I will go to Mitchell'...If I am craving seafood, I will go to Mitchell's Fish Market.

I have been told new owners..new chef..more emphasis on cost control and little or no need to use local/regional suppliers...which seemed a priority previously. Oysters continue to be excellent...the last augratin I was served was way undercooked...the last salad was presented without dressing..and waiter dissapeared.<br /><br />I will continue to go back on occasion...and will watch the foodie sites for improvement. The guaranteed convention business tends to allow continued mediocrity for many of the downtown establishments.lorandnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7700721558717637465.post-68169518537324155602011-06-24T09:02:56.552-04:002011-06-24T09:02:56.552-04:00I am underwhelmed by Oceanaire.

The one area I have them to be exceptional is desserts, but I do not go there because the are called "Dessertaire".Jeff Downer Indianapolis Indianahttp://jeffdownerbailbonds.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7700721558717637465.post-29549638308076366602011-06-23T09:41:48.198-04:002011-06-23T09:41:48.198-04:00We had dinner there last December or tried to, any...We had dinner there last December or tried to, anyway. Cocktails at the bar were great and we ordered our oysters there as well. We sat down next to a loud group of American and Japanese having a great night out on the town. We were put on "ignore".<br /><br />Then, our waiter snottly informed us that the Holland Sole special on the website had been taken down. He then disappeare and ten minutes later I cornered him to get the check. <br /><br />Unless we see a 180 degree change, never, ever again!Joe in Montgomery OHnoreply@blogger.com
