    We had a great experience. The hostesses were friendly, our server was helpful and knowledgeable as well as friendly, the wait staff was cordial and the food was seriously delicious! The filet mignon, 60 day aged ribeye, the sides and the oysters were all spectacular. One of the better meals I’ve had in a long time. I would definitely recommend and will be back.

    It’s located in Gaslamp quarter & within walking distance from nearby hotels. It’s our first time dining here for lunch. While the restaurant was not crowded, it took long time to get our food, over 30 minutes. Prosecco was very bubbly, sirloin steak was cooked very well, chicken sandwich had thick breading that broke off when cutting to eat (too big to bite). French fries were not hot or tasty. Service was friendly but very slow, even when restaurant was more than half empty. Maybe the service is quicker during dinner with more staff…

    When we come to San Diego, we always eat at Lou and mickey‘s because they’re one of the few places that really pay attention to food allergies. The service is impeccable and the food is very good. We are here for four nights and we’re eating there for four nights

    Thank you, Jan, for your review, we pride ourselves on making sure our guests are comfortable dining with us with any allergies, and do our best with accommodating them. Please say hello next time you are in! - Heather

    This restaurant was worth the wait! I was here for my birthday and the staff was so nice and friendly!! And the food was top tier. I had chocolate cake for dessert but ate it once I got to the hotel so I don’t have a picture.

    We had never heard of this restaurant before and decided to try it. It definitely did not disappoint! Everything was delicious! We enjoyed their steak and wonderful sides! They also had this bread that melts in your mouth! Their servers were very welcoming and very efficient as well! We will definitely go there again!
