Best Seafood Restaurants in Bay City

To be honest, I was unsure what to expect. Several (about 5) years ago the experience had not been pleasant. So decided to try again; I’m very glad I did - it was an awesome experience. The drinks, their specials, were superb. The waitress was knowledgeable about the menu, great recommendations. The meal came quickly, everything that should have been hot was, I had a beet salad with feta cheese that was to die for. We splurged on a very nice bottle of wine, my wife’s roasted chicken she said was delicious and while there were two lobster selections, the waitress helped me make a good decision - the result was fantastic, both in size, appearance & taste. Admittedly we spent more than I intended, however it was worth every dollar! Oh I should mention the small but nice raw bar; I have some familiarity with oysters and the NB selection was excellent. I rarely leave this long or detailed review, however, we will definitely return to the Milwaukee Harbor House and strongly recommend it to anyone who wants a great restaurant experience!!

Servers were great! Explained specials. But I have to say I was just not that impressed with the NY steak I ordered. The steak was cooked properly at medium but had a dryness to it & actually not that much flavor without the Bearnaise sauce. I guess I am just spoiled because we use to go to the former Jackson Grill where the steaks were outstanding. Not sure what they did to their steaks but we have never found one as tasty. My husband had the crab cake & fillet and the crab cake was delish but he also found his fillet cooked properly but with not much flavor without the sauce.

Our server was exceptional though we did have to wait a bit between our calamari and soup, and then to get our entree took a while, but it was Christmas Eve and they were busy so it was understandable. The food was delicious but we ordered our steak medium rare and they were well done- the waitress brought it to the manager’s attention and he definitely agreed with us that they were over done and asked us what he could do to make it right. We said we were just glad that he addressed the situation with us-that was enough as far as we were concerned. Later the waitress came over and told us that the manager would like us to have dessert on him, and we thought that was very nice. I had the dark chocolate butter cake and my sister had the crème brûlée- both were delicious and much appreciated. Treatment like this by the waitress, staff and manager is the reason we will keep coming back to Mitchell’s fish market and of course, the delicious food. They make you feel cared for here. More places should be like this restaurant! Go- you won’t be disappointed!

Always happy w/our meals here. Very glad they were open on Xmas eve & love that they take reservations. Server was great. Only wish the offered another option for non fish eaters. Grilled chicken? Chicken would be great on their salads

Excellent food and service! The French onion soup was amazing. The filet was one of the best steaks I've ever had.
