Our server was attentive, but the bar staff and kitchen were criminally slow. Better places in Gaslamp for the value.

I have been going to Lou and Mickey's for over 20 years and it's always been fantastic. The food was on point as always; however the service was not great this time. We had a reservation but out table was not ready, so we went into the bar to order a bottle of wine. While waiting for our table, we were standing by a high top in the bar and were approached 3 times by employees telling us we cannot sit at the high top, which we were NOT trying to sit at. By the way, there were multiple empty high-top tables in the bar. We can read the reserved sign on the table and did not want to sit there, just wanted a place to stand while we were waiting for our table. Was completely unnecessary to continue telling us not to sit at that table. Our sever was quite abrupt with us. I had a couple of questions regarding the menu, and he took out his pen and pointed it back at my menu and told me: whatever it says on the menu. Really? Yes, I can read that but had a simple question. The server was a bit rude and not helpful at all. First time in dozens of times I've been to this restaurant and had very poor service.

Absolutely loved this restaurant, it was really busy the night we went so it was extremely loud however that didn’t take away from the great service and delish food. It reminded me of walking into an old style steak house in New York. Loved the vibe will definitely be back.

Went to Lou and Mickeys wanting a perfect seared steak experience before going to a concert at the Rady Shell. Coming from OC, our reservation was 6 but traffic made it 620P. We called to let them know and see if they could still accommodate. The hostess was very understanding and moved us back a bit. The 12oz filet and Rib Cap were both cooked perfectly. We were SO satisfied. The peppercorn and béarnaise was delicious too. We tried the fried mozzarella appetizer and it was very unique, good flavor, big!. Services was great. we would definitely return.

Not impressed with the daily cut T-bone steak. It also took us around 25 minutes for a server to come to our table.
