    We love Mitch’s on El Paseo. We visit at least once per year to Palm Desert and we always love Mitch’s. We loved Melanie, she took great care of us. The outdoor patio is fabulous even when it’s too hot to sit outside. Out sea bass was perfectly cooked. They also gave us a chocolate flourless brownie with gelato which was a sweet surprise for our anniversary. We if this sounds like your kind of place, you need to check it out. You won’t be disappointed!
