| - Must say I was pretty disappointed on my visit here. I was pretty hopeful despite some of the negative reviews, because of personal friends who spoke highly of Mickey & mooch. The ambiance was especially nice too, but the service was average and the food was mediocre. I had the mahi mahi, which was the catch of the day, along with the charleston crab soup and also tasted the Alfredo pasta, collard greens, mashed potatoes and cabbage, none of which excited me. Our group went for Restaurant Week and the Queens Feast menu was pretty extensive; Unfortunately that didn't equate to extraordinary. I took my toasted almond cream cake to go. I wish there was a half star option because I would give this place 2 1/2 stars. I'll rate up to 3 just because the waiter gave our group complimentary dessert, even the ones who ordered off the regular menu. I think it's partly to make up for the lack of visibility we had of him. It took about 30 mins for him to bring our table bread, and we barely saw him while eating, so good thing no one needed anything! He disappeared for lengthy periods of time for no apparent reason. Maybe he was playing in the band?
I forgot to add that as soon as our waiter came to tell us the specials, he informed us that they ran out of Caesar salad (is that possible? Wouldn't that be easy to make?) and baked potatoes. Disappointing since I wanted a Caesar salad. Overall it's not that the food was nasty, just not memorable..
