Outstanding Experience at Michael’s Restaurant!
I had the pleasure of hosting my mom’s 70th birthday at Michael’s Restaurant, and everything about the evening was perfect. From the moment we arrived, the service was top-notch — attentive, professional, and warm. The food was absolutely exceptional, beautifully presented and full of flavor. It was truly a memorable experience for our family. I highly recommend Michael’s for your next dining occasion — whether it's a special celebration or a night out. They absolutely delivered!

Fresh delicious food and friendly service. The place is gorgeous.
I took my mom here for her bday because she has been wanting to go here for a while. From the reviews and the pictures It looked really good, so made reservations for 6:30 pm and got there @6:33. We were seated and it took them 30 mins just to come to the table and ask for drink orders. Then it took 15-20 mins for drinks to come out.after drinks were ordered we waited another 45 mins for our appetizers. Now this wouldn’t have been a problem if the restaurant was busy, but IT WASNT!!!! Yes we had a large table (7people) but there were 3 couples who came in, ate, and left before we even got our entree. The wait staff is terribly slow and not very attentive. The food was not as great as expected. The only thing I really enjoyed was my coke and the fried green tomatoes. I’m very disappointed and will not be back.

This place is so loud there is no way you could enjoy dining there. You can hear there music from a block away.
I would come back to the restaurant with my boyfriend we would have a conversation and great food ❤️

First off let me say come on... black female business...yyyeeessss!!! The ambiance is nice, music vibe is nice. It's spacious and open not crowded and cluttered. Table service was top tier. Now I will say a few of the dishes were not my fave (appetizer wise) we were there later in the day close to closing so I understand. I will go back earlier to get the full experience. But I loved my main course and the spinach dip so I'll take that as a win.
I take responsibility for booking a party of 9 and gour before closing at 3pm. This presented a rush situation. Some guest were late due to location of restaurant. Food was marvelous. A little short on staff but they did their best.
To say that the food was exquisite is an understatement!!!! Chefs kiss.

We loved the atmosphere and the food was great
The most lovely experience on the rooftop at Bar Sebastian!!! The food was exceptional; the space was spectacular!!
Celebrated my little sister's birthday! Food and service was wonderful! Will definitely be back.
I hate to give this place a bad score. My mom worked at the original Michaels back in the 1970s so I wanted to give it a try for a nostalgic reasons. They have move locations so it’s not the same and I do not believe it’s even the same owners. Overall, we were quite disappointed. It’s right next to the baseball stadium and there was a game going on so parking was a nightmare with roads blocked and parking space hard to find.
The food was very average. Nothing was bad, but nothing was particularly good either. The service was not very good. We only saw our wider twice when they took the order and one time when we flagged them down to get more water. If you’re just dying to go there, it’s not awful, but there are certainly better choices for the money. We spent $150 for two people and while that is not super expensive, we could have gotten better for less.
Celebrated my birthday!! Food was bussin😋 everything was seasoned to perfection! From the asparagus to the oysters 10/10 my man steak was the size of his back good & so juicy.. my fillet 10/10.. Love struck drink mixed well bartender made that just right!
