Amazing and attentive employees -- we were there on a very busy night with live music, and the employees noticed and offered to move us to a spot with better view.
Also, although it was busy, the staff were very fast and attentive and checking on everyone and making it all happen! Wouldn't have known it was busy from the service, only knew it was busy from the filled tables and chairs!
Also, extra shout out because I am always kinda embarrassed/feel as if I am annoying when I go to restaurants because of a few food allergies -- I know which items are likely to be safe or easiest to prepare certain ways, so I do try to make it easy for restaurants too, but it is extra work for wait staff and kitchen staff, and i acknowledge this, and felt welcomed and safe here, and our waiter noticed I felt apologetic for my allergies and made me feel welcomed and it was all great!! Thank you!!
The music was great! The service was amazing!
The place was hopping, seems to be a local hangout. If I were local, I'd be here a lot!!
Also, I was coming from out of state to visit friends, and we had to change the reservation a bit because I was delayed during travel, and it all worked out okay :) very grateful.
So glad I experienced Mikey C's during my first visit to Fairmont! I'll definitely be back!!
A rare gem, and even the owners were there working! So cool to see a real local restaurant...
Read moreAtmosphere- 5 stars- this quant little eatery resides in an old building on the end of the Mid-City bridge located on the West side of Fairmont WV. The inside has been redone making it a modern yet cozy area decorated with photos of well known chefs and vines of white flowers accented with white lights strung on the wall. The place is super clean and offers a small area with deserts and bakery items.
Service- 5 stars- Kevin was our waiter and he was friendly and very attentive.
Food- 5 stars- they offer daily specials and a decent beer and wine list. I had the dirty rice with chicken, beef and hot peppers. It was awesome. It must be a popular dish because I saw many people ordering it. I also had the roasted red pepper chicken bisque for a starter and again it was delicious. My wife got the blackened chicken breast sandwich with Swiss cheese and a side of fries. She said it was one of the best chicken sandwiches she had ever had.
I would highly recommend stopping here. From what I understand it’s get quite busy in the evenings. We went mid afternoon and...
Read moreThis is a very good place to eat. The dishes that my wife and I had were well prepared, they were ample, and the tastes were balanced. The atmosphere was very nice, although it got a bit noisy towards the end of our meal; I think the dinner rush was starting, so no complaint. Best of all, though, was the service. The waiter, when asked, was super helpful with her menu suggestions; she told us she had been a regular customer there before she was hired. She was attentive without being intrusive, polite without being smarmy, and treated us as valued guests. If I have any quibble, it would be that I'd like to see a few more dinner/entree selections to balance out the frankly lengthy list of sandwiches I plan to work my way through. All in all, we had a delightful meal in a lovely place with superb service from a great staff. We'll...
