    Now that’s Italiano! Felt like we were there in the heart of SanDiego. Food was exceptional-best Caesar Salad we’ve ever had (abundance of anchovies…finally!). Our waiter was perfectly suited to make our experience memorable. And this was on the US thanksgiving holiday when he should have been at home with his family! 5+stars.

    We had a very small and quiet Thanksgiving this year, so we opted to go to a restaurant. We have been to Lou and Mickey’s several times and have always had a great experience. The food was great, we all had steak. The ambiance is lively and made it feel like everything was not shut down for the day. Our server was very pleased and helpful. Overall it was a fantastic experience.

    This place is what gaslamp quarter in San Diego needs Great vibe, ambiance, colors, and amazing design that makes you feel like you are in Singapore or somewhere exotic. The Yellowtail scallions and the Tai Miso snapper were so so good and perfectly balanced. The Potstickers so delicious to start. Wagyu drunken noodles perfectly seasoned. We had the filet mignon with a special seafood sauce that melted in my mouth. The miso black cod was light and flavorful. We saw some sushi rolls being served at tables nearby but we were so full and will definitely try the place another time to experience those dishes. Server was very knowledgeable even for a place that is so new. We finished the meal with the red velvet chocolate lava cake, absolutely delicious. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends and family and anyone visiting San Diego. On weekends they have a dj playing till late at night that will for sure add a great vibe, we will definitely be back.
