Lou & Mickey's

Under the entrance sign to the Gaslamp Quarter, across the street from the convention center, their patio dining is a great place for people-watching.

The martini selection ranges from Key Lime Pie (the glass is rimmed with graham cracker crust) to the Maytag (with blue cheese stuffed olives).

Refreshing Cantaloupe Martini

Seafood bar.

Inside it is all dark wood and white linens.

Feels more like Boston than Southern California.

Even the Ladies Restroom is fancy -- especially the ceiling.

On the pricey side but a fun experience and good seafood.
