    We had the BEST dinner here tonight. The food was incredible but one of the best parts was our waiter Karlton. He made the best recommendations and was so personable and attentive. The appetizers were amazing, especially the baked mozerella. Our steak was cooked to perfection and my wife and I agree our dinner was one of the best meals we've had in a while. Shout out to Karlton for the amazing service! We can't wait to come back.

    The food service was great . We sat outside unfortunately the trains were running nonstop, very loud and made it difficult to enjoy the wonderful meal we've been presented with.

    Nice place. Food and drinks was excellent. But really bad waitress. She really didn’t feel happy about us taking our time to decide. We are on vacation. No hurry to eat and get your tip. She also tried ton convince us that we were not ordering enough food. We had plenty.

    The food and service was not great. The server acted very snooty since we did not order drinks. For the price of the food, it did not match the taste. I had shrimp and my friend had a steak. I will never go back again.

    Shocked that a place like this doesn’t offer a non-dairy creamer or milk substitute for coffee. Get with the times, Lou & Mickey!

    As usual the steak was perfectly cooked, the lobster was sweet and cooked just right and the chocolate cake was out of this world. Always a treat to visit SD and a meal at Lou & Mi’s.
