Best Steaks Ever!!

by tchurch1981

My boyfriend and I love this place. We live in Los Angeles and both times we have gone to San Diego we went here. The steaks and fresh seafood are amazing. We had the oysters and shrimp cocktail for an appetizer and they are some of the best I have ever tasted. Steaks and scalloped potatoes for our entree were a devine choice. The only sad thing is that we don't live in San Diego to get to enjoy this place more often.

Lunch was OK, but I've had better

by simplybp

Went to Lou and Mickeys for lunch today... wanted to eat inside, and was seated in the bar because the restaurant was "full" (although we could see what looked like 100 empty seats - I translated it into "we didn't staff for inside eating today"). Ordered the Garlic Meatloaf Sandwich, and my partner ordered a cheeseburger. Both were large sandwiches, with large piles of french fries. My meatloaf had but one taste: Garlic. So it was appropriately named. It also had the consistency of Alpo. I prefer my meatloaf a lot less mushy... actually firm, in fact. So that was a major turnoff to me. And then the fries.. they were those little skinny fries, slightly overdone, slightly cold. Sort of like those ones that come in the can at the grocery store. If you like those, you'll like Lou and Mickeys. I didn't - I really prefer hot steak fries, the total opposite end of the french fry spectrum. My friend's burger looked better, but she deserted all her fries as well.

Lunch for 2, no alcohol, $35 with tip.

• Pros: nice interior, decent service, large lunch menu
• Cons: lacking food taste and quality (to my liking)

Food good but poor/dangerous customer service

by lindaq2

My husband, mother and I recently dined there for her birthday. The restaurant is lovely, with dark wood and homey feel. Husband ordered a huge steak that was cooked as he wanted. My mom and I split the filet and lobster tail. It was wonderful until.....we ordered cheesecake for dessert. It came with the chocolate sauce we wanted, but the plate was decorated with a rasberry sauce which I am ALLERGIC to. The waitress took it back and brought what we thought was a new slice. WRONG! The slice had been moved from the offending plate to a new one, WITH THE SAUCE STILL ON THE BOTTOM OF THE CHEESECAKE. We did not find that out until I had already had 5 bites and consumed the rasberry sauce. I was feelin itchy and started to get red blotches (I took a benidryl immediately) when we called the waitress back and told her what happened. She brought the manager, Mr. Ridge over and he went into the kitchen to investigate. While that was happening I was getting more blotches on my arms and my scalp was itching like crazy. The Manager erturned and said there was not rasberry but strawberry sauce. HOOEY. He gave us his card and said to "call him" if anything got bad. It was already bad, I was reacting to the rasberry sauce and he made me feel as if I was trying to scam him. The waitress apologized and we left promptly.

Besides the fact of the managers non-response to my reaction, ANYONE that is re-served food that is sent back is a crime. They are a dangerous place for sanitary and safety conditions. Be aware!
