My wife and I spent our Valentine's Dinner at Lou and Mickey's. It was such a fun experience. The staff, food and wine were all amazing. Will dine there again when we are in town.

Amazing first time at Lou & Mickey’s! Our food was incredible (the bread appetizer was unreal and the NY steak was the best I’ve had), the service was wonderful, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was really enjoyable. Thank you!

Our waiter was exceptional and my husband and I were extremely pleased with the steak and seafood recommendations (rib eye aged 45 days and Chilean sea bass) when we asked what he recommended. But it was the white linen cocktail that highlighted my night (so freaking good I had two)! My husband was presented with a decadent dessert of his choice as a complimentary birthday treat - cheesecake!

This is our second time here. We were excited to bring family celebrating their 19th wedding anniversary. We were a little disappointed with some aspects of our experience. Our server was not the friendliest. He seemed annoyed with our questions and pace. Our food was cold. My steak was the wrong temperature. When I asked about my half eaten steak being wrong, he said I should have told him earlier. The flavors were good. The drinks were good. The cost was to be expected BUT with many dining options in SD, we won’t be back.

Everything is perfect. Taste the filet "three ways" (medium rare): exceptional!
