| - It's hard not to love Mickey's, if only for their awesome patio in the Madison summers. If I lived closer to Mickey's, this would be my weekly haunt.
Mickey's has a sign right when you walk in the door that explains exactly the type of service you should expect, i.e. European style, slow paced, sit back and enjoy the company you're with. In other words, this is not a rush you in, rush you out kind of establishment. This is a place that lets you savor those long conversations with your friends, slowly sip that beer, and nibble on those sexy fries.
The sexy fries are a hit or miss for me. Sometimes beautifully perfectly fried, but sometimes a bit overfried and not as enjoyable. But then I discovered their super sexy fries which is regular fries with the same truffle oil, parmesan, and red pepper topping, and this is always perfect for me. I'm also a fan of their salads topped with steak and the lime dressing.
I've also been to Mickey's for brunch. Their brunch dishes are just okay for me, but their bloody marys are the star. They're perfectly mixed - not too garlicky or heavy on the tomato taste, enough alcohol for that nice early afternoon buzz. The bloody mary toppings aren't excessive (I don't need a fried chicken with my bloody mary), but not sparse either.
