    We sat at the high-tops. They brought a heater which made it super comfortable. Adam, our Server was excellent. Adam’s class and persona warms the experience as good as the food. The servers are always great but Adam adds that special comfort. Our drinks were perfect. the Garlic & Goat cheese appetizer was delicious as always. We could probably just go there for that but, but the Bone-in Ribeye was as predictably amazing. We highly recommend Lou & Mickeys as our favorite downtown restaurant.

    The server was amazing, he provided a terrific overview and really spent quality time at our table. We ordered the baked goat cheese to start, and I highly recommend. I had filet medallions and they were cooked to perfection. My companion is not a red meat eater, so I was worried she would not find the restaurant to be to her liking. However her ahi tuna was fantastic and even better than she expected. Lou & Mickey’s is a must do if you are in downtown San Diego and looking for a classic and semi upscale experience.

    Reservation for 4 made 3 weeks in advance. Waited about 20 minutes for table. Party of 4 seated at folding table meant for 8 persons. Door at the end in the table opened to outside and cold air came across the table with every opening of the door. The door would not always close fully so cold draft across the table consistent. The staff walked past the table rapidly and opened the door loudly while serving a party outside creating a disturbance with each person passing. Our server understood the problem but was powerless to fix it. No manager came to us to explain or apologize. All in all a terrible dining experience. Based on this interaction I would not recommend this restaurant. The food was good (not great) and the value average. The service was as good as could be expected based on the environment.

    Our waitress was incredibly nice and went the extra mile for my Daughters Birthday…only issue was that dinner took almost 2 hours. The kitchen was incredibly slow. We most certainly will be back as this is the first time we have had such an issue at L+M
