Mickey & Mooch

Deteriorating service but food still good.

by trirob at Citysearch

Mickey and Mooch used to be a great place to go to with outstanding service, ambiance and food. We have been going there for 8 years and have never been disappointed until last night. Our food was good and my steak was cooked perfectly but the meal was spoiled by poor service. We had made a reservation for 7 pm and were made to wait until I complained. While we were waiting in the bar it took 15 minutes just to get a drink. Only one bartender serving the entire restaurant and bar. Once seated it also became obvious there were not enough waiters. Our initial sevice was good but nowhere near what my expectations were based on prior visits to Mickey and Mooch.

• Pros: Easy parking
• Cons: Service is average

Best Lake Norman Fancy Place

by DavidWinters at Citysearch

This is probably the best Lk. Norman has to offer for an upscale place. However, it is way too noisy for a high priced place. Desserts of course are to rave for and the menu is excellent along with quality of meal. However, for the price, I prefer a little nicer service. So, my rating is versus their peer group of places versus overall. Comparing here to Pizza Hut just would not be fair (LOL)

steak was the only thing good about the place

by lady_dine at Citysearch

I read the reviews. I have been there 5 times. Each time for steak. the service is so so . the atmosphere is truly lousy and loud. The so called GM is full of himself from watching him with the others. We go there for the steak only because there is nothing else in the area and they know it. (I am assuming it was the GM by the way people were helping him fall all over himself) but he tends to be quite emotional. Not really a good place to go if you want to impress someone. You may get embarrased. Also they do not like you going without a reservation and order you to sit at the bar and wait. (we went outside instead)

What's all the hype about?

by rbsimpson at Citysearch

Ate here for the first time and I have no clue what people see in this place. Sure, they give you huge portions, but like they say you get what you pay for. I saw a review that said this place was better than The Palm, someone must have had way too much budweiser because that's like comparing a Ferrari to a Chevy. I can only think that this was the only game in town for so long that being starting believing it was great. Not for anyone who's ever dined at REAL restaurants. Almost like chain restaurant food.

Hrm...

The food was good, but not great. And considering how much it costs, it makes you somewhat flustered. The atmosphere while cool, and has great music, is very loud. Valet parking while nice, is hardly needed. The service I had was subpar. The live pianist who plays for tips was a nice touch.

• Pros: Live pianist
• Cons: Noisy, Service
