    Oyster half dozen sampler
    Michael T.

    Oysters were delicious and fresh. Steak was cooked to medium rare and salted well. Bearnaise sauce was also good, although the garlic spinach was on the salty side. Ambiance was fine, I sat at a hightop and the patio was open, so there was good airflow and sunlight coming in. Service was a bit slow. It's a busier time since this weekend is ComicCon, but it still took over 45 minutes for just myself to be seated at 4pm, so make sure you call ahead and reserve if possible.

    Before the first pitch at Petco Park- Go Dodgers!: we perched up to the bar to have lunch at Lou & Mickey's. Inside the bar and restaurant you immediately get the feel of an old-steak house mood. The exterior of the restaurant is modern looking, but once you enter, it has an elegant, classic steakhouse vibe. At the bar, I ordered the Wild Jumbo Mexican Shrimp "Louie" with 1000 Island in the side. The salad plate included fresh lettuce leaves, a ripe tomato slice, a nicely seasoned and halved deviled egg, sliced avocado, crispy cut bacon strip, celery, and five pieces of delicious shrimp. The shrimp salad is excellent. The service at the bar area is attentive, even on a busy baseball Saturday - afternoon- Go Dodgers! The bar area is lively, and the people watching is epic. Needless to say, I enjoyed my lunch at Lou & Mickey's.

    Had a chance to dine here Saturday night around 9pm, restaurant was busy and the vibes were great. We had a great outdoor table with excellent views. Service outstanding, our server was great and very attentive. Food excellent, only hiccup all night was our calamari appetizer came out a little cold, they quickly swapped it out for a hot one. Overall, great experience. Bourbon selection could have been a little better but it's a great restaurant in a great location with an excellent vibe. Really looking forward to coming back here.

    One of the best Steak Houses I've been to. The service was very good. Adam was personable, friendly, and very knowledgeable. He was present, but not intrusive. My wife had a prime filet, Oscar style and she portion size of the crab was impressive. I had a 45 day dry-aged ribeye that was cooked to perfection. The horseradish sauce on the side was absolutely amazing - the depth of flavor was impressive. The quince and goat cheese spread for the bread, along with the cultured butter was very good. For dessert, we shared a cheesecake. It was maybe the best cheesecake I've ever had!

    As someone who grew up in San Diego I can confidently say this is one of the best steakhouses in downtown. I would say it's only real competition is Cowboy Star because all the others either left or fell off, Born & Raised is pretty but the food is mid. It's located in one of the busiest parts of downtown in the heart of Gaslamp right across from the convention center. Parking can be tricky however we found a metered spot on the street directly in front of the restaurant for our 7 PM dinner so we got very lucky. Otherwise they offer valet parking at the Hilton or you can choose one of the many pay lots around. Inside the restaurant is very large with many different dining areas and a full bar. It has a very classic theme to it very similar to an East Coast steakhouse. Our server was extremely polite and everything came out surprisingly fast. They have a very large menu filled with all sorts of great options on it, so it took some time to choose. I finally settled with starting the meal off with a Grilled Jumbo Artichoke which I thought was wonderful. Next came the Roasted Beet Salad, which I also really enjoyed. The Humboldt Fog blue cheese with it was a great combo. For my entrée I chose the 10oz Barrel Cut Filet Mignon and thought it was absolutely fantastic. It was one of the better ones I've had recently and I would highly recommend. Overall, this is a fantastic restaurant in a really lively part of San Diego and I would recommend to anyone.

    I couldn't help it, I came here 3 times while at the ESRI Conference. I LOVE the 1/2 Dungeness crab!! I hate a beet and coat cheese salad, oysters and other dishes too but my favorite was the crap! The service is awesome, super friendly and fantastic martinis! Ambience is classy, comfortable and the walls are all open to the outside so it's great to people watch.

    Is in a great location right in downtown San Diego, but parking is honestly terrible. The closest and easiest option is using the valet about two blocks away through the Hilton Hotel. Good luck trying to find street parking or even parking in a nearby garage during busy hours. It would definitely be a huge plus if the restaurant offered valet service themselves. Once we got inside, we waited about 15 minutes for a table, which wasn't too bad considering how busy it was. The food was excellent, the service was great, and the staff was very friendly and attentive throughout the entire experience. Overall, despite the parking situation, we really enjoyed our visit and would come back again.

    The food here is so good. I had the best clam chowder I've ever had and the best dressing on the fillet Cobb salad. Our service was good and attentive. The ambience was quiet because it was lunchtime and we were able to enjoy people watching and enjoy our delicious food without it being super loud.

    We had dinner here August 9th 2026, table for 3. Started with Summerstone and Kumamoto oysters, they were amazing. Wedge salad and octopus were decent. When it came to ordering the entrees, we wanted go with Aged Ribeye steak, I specifically told our server that we wouldn't mind how big it is but all we care is the chuck side of the ribeye, which has a proper amount of cap on it. Server welcomed our request and wanted to talk to chef (kitchen supervisor at the moment) before placing the order to the computer. Chef/supervisor recommended a 60 days aged ribeye that is 35oz which would have a decent cap steak on it. When we got served, there was ZERO grams of cap steak, chef obviously wanted sell the most expensive cut in the house and overcooked it. When I told the server that this was completely opposite side of what I asked for, he kind of panicked and offered us complimentary dessert. We had no room for dessert but wanted to do espresso shots. Supposedly complimentary espresso shots were ALSO ADDED to the bill. EXTREMELY POOR MANAGEMENT AND A CHEESY CHEF who is only focused of selling more expensive products instead of satisfying clients.

    Phenomenal steakhouse and seafood restaurant. Stopped in for a dinner with family during our spring break. They didn't disappoint. Our server gave fantastic advice on the selections.The oysters are the absolute best! The crab cakes are delicious! And the filet mignon.....Perfection. One can also not forget, there is always room for dessert. The apple tart and key lime pie are a little piece of heaven. Looking forward to returning in the future!

    Yummy food, constant service, old school vibes! Can't ask for more! Came for a work lunch and we all left full and ready to come back for more

    Wow! First time ever at an actual steakhouse, and I'm happy that I gave Lou and Mickeys a chance. Me and my date had took the bar seating, the open patio seating overlooking the city was beautiful as well, a great use of space. The lovely bartender tended us with intent and gratitude. I ordered me a dirty martini timpani along with some oysters thay I have ordered. The 1/2 dozen. Tge oysters are very fresh, tge ones that I have indulged in were very salty. Not like a spoiled salty, but a sea salty.. a lovely fresh oyster. My main dish was the pasta that paired along with the clams, as well as a dirty martini. The pasta was cooked to perfection as well as the sauce. Went very well with the clams. From a short trip from Los Angeles to San Diego, if I ever was to come back ago glaslamp, this restaurant is the first stop I'm going to make to indulge in my martinis and oysters!

    The ambiance at Lou & Mickey's is upscale yet comfortable, making it a great place for both casual dining and special occasions. The service was attentive and knowledgeable, enhancing the overall experience. If you're in San Diego, make sure to stop by Lou & Mickey's for a meal that expertly blends fresh seafood and quality cuts of meat. Whether you're enjoying oysters or a ribeye, you're in for a treat!

The cocktails, service and food is all really solid but my favorite thing is the old school feel of the design. It's dark, warm and has a nostalgic Rat Pack vibe. We love the black and white photos throughout. Nothing better than meatball Mondays when they serve insanely good meatballs and homemade Bucatini pasta (pic 12). What better to accompany that deliciousness than some signature cocktails. Some of the fam loved the "Fields of Italy." (Pic 3) It's a fresh, crispy champagne cocktail made with vodka, Aperol, St. Germain, strawberry/basil jam, lemon and prosecco. It was perfect for a summer day. I had one of my favs that has been on the menu for a while now called "Party with Elvis." (Pic 5) It starts out like a boss with walnut-infused bourbon, Montenegro (Italian Amaro), tiki bitters, orange bitters and an orange garnish. It's exceptional!!! The last cocktail in the rotation was a traditional Manhattan that always goes perfect with a plate of Italian love (pic 13). It's always classic and the Moe's staff captures it perfectly with Basil Hayden bourbon, Antica sweet vermouth and angostura bitters.

But alas, Carbon Angela's Kitchen deserves every flower, every reservation, every "you have to try this place" text thread, and every bit of love. This place has become one of my absolute favorite hidden gems in San Diego. Easily top five for me, and as someone who dines out a lot for a living, that is not a casual statement. There are places you like, places you recommend, and then there are places that start to feel woven into your actual life. Carbon Angela's Kitchen is that for me. Angela is truly the heart of this place. She has this way of making you feel like you are not just coming in for dinner, but being welcomed into something she deeply cares about. And Emanuele is absolutely part of that magic too. Together, they have built something that feels warm, generous, soulful, and so special. They feel like long-lost friends and family now, and I am honestly just so proud of them and all they are creating. The food is the kind that makes you want to order with the whole table in mind. The griglia mista is hands down one of the best investments you can make if you are dining with a group. It is the meat platter, it is the moment, and it is absolutely worth ordering. Four to five people can split it, especially if you are also doing appetizers, salad, wine, and a few extra things for the table. It is such a perfect nod to what Carbon was before Angela took over, when the space leaned more BBQ, but now it feels beautifully married with Angela's warmth, Italian influence, and the kind of hospitality that makes the whole meal feel like an experience. And please do not sleep on the rest of the menu. The short rib is fire. The arancino trio is always a yes. The eggplant croquette? Obsessed. The crespelle? So good. The Everything Salad is my favorite salad on the menu, and the street corn should never, under any circumstances, be skipped. I said what I said. The wine selection is top tier, the appetizers are memorable, and the whole place has that rare magic of feeling cozy, intentional, and completely unpretentious. You can come for a low-key dinner, a girls' night, a celebration, or one of those "we just need a really good meal and a really good glass of wine" kind of evenings. And the back patio? Perfect for an evening under twinkling lights. It is one of those spaces that just begs for a long table, good conversation, clinking glasses, and the kind of night that accidentally turns into a core memory. They also have catering menus available, which is very important information to keep in your back pocket if you are hosting anything soon. What Angela has built is honestly something to behold. One of the hardest-working restaurateurs doing the dang thing in a city like San Diego, and now opening Bedda across the way too? I am in awe and wonder watching it all unfold. It takes so much courage, grit, taste, excellence, and heart to build what they are building, and you can feel all of it in the room. Carbon Angela's Kitchen is a true labor of love, a hidden gem, and one of those places I will keep cheering for again and again. Go hungry. Order the griglia mista. Get the Everything Salad. Do not skip the street corn. Share Share Share, so you can try a little bit of everything and do a tried and true family style meal, you won't regret it.

She started us off with some fresh baked Focaccia which had herb + cheese baked into the top (of course it was delicious). We added an appetizer called Crespelle which was a really yummy spin on a Manicotti made the right way (with a Crespelle). The salad was fresh and tasty. We order the Rigatoni Sugo which has a Tomato based sauce and assorted meats (Meatballs, Sausage, Cubes of meat) and was delicious along with the meats as well. We also added the Picanha Steak Entree with the Brie Fondue and that was so different while being soooo yummy. We enjoyed some wine with our meal and we finished with this really delicious Bavarian Cream Filled Napoleon with a Berry Coulis (desserts do change so check with restaurant to see what they have available the day you want to visit).. We can't wait to come back and try their Grigliata Mista (Meat Feast for 3-4 people).

Being that this was my first time eating at STK, Jordyn gave a very thorough and descriptive explanation of the menu. Her recommendations were spot on and my wife and I definitely plan on coming back. Thank you for the eating experience Jordyn!!!

    We went here for our 15th anniversary and it didn't disappoint! We came on a Thursday evening got…read morereservations after we checked that the Padres weren't playing here. Otherwise it would've been impossible to get parking. We did park across the street at a pay parking lot for under $16 for 2 hours. Great music being played, mainly old school, which I love. We ordered from their Prix Fixe menu, for starts we got Caesar salad and the Shrimp cocktail. Salad was good and my shrimp cocktail was even better, plenty of horseradish plus slices of a spicy pepper possibly habanero. We also got their complimentary read which was soft and tasty. We shared a porterhouse steak medium rare and it was delicious. For sides we ordered asparagus and macaroni and cheese. Portions were abundant no complaints. And for dessert we ordered the apple pie which came topped with crème fraise. I also got a Cafe Americano, which is the only coffee you can order. Our waiter was knowledgeable and entertaining. Helping us with ordering and making our celebration memorable. Definitely a great place for celebrating.

You get the San Diego vibe all the while treating yourself to a delicious meal. Note: If you have a long layover in sd. Definitely try this place! It's across the SAN airport.

    C-Level Lounge is one of those San Diego spots where the view alone makes you want to stay awhile,…read morebut thankfully the food gives you plenty of reasons to do exactly that. We grabbed a table overlooking the water, and the whole setting just works--open-air, breezy, relaxed, and upscale without feeling stuffy. Add a cocktail and that waterfront backdrop and you're already off to a good start. We definitely sampled our way around the menu. The crispy sweet potato fries were a favorite--hot, crisp, and perfectly snackable. We also had a loaded basket of fries with crispy bites and dipping sauces that disappeared pretty quickly. The Asian-inspired chicken salad was fresh, colorful, and packed with texture: grilled chicken, greens, crunchy wontons, herbs, and a sweet-savory dressing that pulled everything together. Then there was that sandwich. Thick, toasted bread, a seriously generous filling, bacon, greens, and a creamy sauce on the side. This is not a dainty lunch situation. Come hungry! We also tried a beautifully presented seafood dish with crispy taro chips and plantains. Great presentation and a nice change of pace from the heavier plates. Cocktails were refreshing and exactly what you want while sitting by the bay. What really sells C-Level, though, is the full experience. You're enjoying good food and drinks with boats passing in the distance and some of the best waterfront scenery in San Diego. It's equally good for taking out-of-town guests, a leisurely lunch, date day, or simply pretending you're on vacation for a couple of hours. Pro tip: Get a waterfront table if you can. That's where C-Level really shines.
