Lou & Mickey's, 224 5th Ave San Diego, CA 92101


The view upon walking in the front door was great!...a lovely raw bar greets you!

It was late afternoon, so I kept my order pretty light.  I started will a half pound order of chilled mussels.  They were very fresh (even after the black out experienced the night before).

For my entree, I ordered the ahi tuna salad.  The chef really over-killed on the cracked peppercorn coating, but the fish was fresh and tasty.  The white anchovies were a nice touch as was the potato and green beans.

My companions had the chicken piccata and the fried chicken sandwich.  The piccata was cooked nicely and the lemon-caper sauce was light and flavorful.

The decor was lovely..beautiful hard wood was EVERYWHERE as a real steakhouse should be!  I wish were were there for dinner so I could try one of their steaks with a nice scotch (assuming they had a presentable list).  One gentleman at the next table seemed to really enjoy his steak and I was a bit jealous as I was totally distracted by the crazy awesome aroma!  :0)
