    The service was excellent. The food was delicious,but we were very disappointed in the Dulce de Leche chocolate cake. There was no flavor of Dulce de Leche...even when we tried the filling which appeared to be Dulce de Leche. It remained half-eaten. However the Pineapple Tapioca was excellent. We always have a problem with the sound...it is not 'energetic' as portrayed in your graph, it is annoying and way too loud. We always ask the server to turn down the music when we eat on the patio. We enjoy looking at the view and not having to listen to inappropriate music while we do so.

    We had the pleasure of dining at Mickey’s Place during the retrofitting of Sierra Mar. As always, the service was fabulous! The menu was limited as could be expected for an interim facility, but the food was very good and we had a chance to explore a part of the Post Ranch property that we hadn’t before! Looking forward to experiencing the newly renovated Sierra Mar later on in the year!

    Chef quality preparation, interesting menu, lots of fresh local produce. Very reasonable breakfast and lunch prices, dinner is fancier BUT you can make a less expensive meal of the small plates (I loved the generous steak skewers with chimichuri sauce!) or visit during happy hour!
