My wife and I went to Michael's for our first wedding anniversary and were blown away by the experience. The atmosphere may seem simple, but understand you're sitting in a restaurant that began as a house in 1764. The floors are older than most of our ancestries in this country. On this hallowed grounds they serve amazing wines, mashed potatoes to write home about, and a filet that is done to such perfection and personal preference, that I know they're cooked sous vide, not held too long at temp, and seared to perfection by a very deft hand. I cannot wait to return to the charm of St Augustine and, when I do, it will be this very same experience that I rush to first.

Unfortunately, not sure about the hype of the great reviews. We weren't impressed about the food. Also, when I went to the bathroom, the toilet was discussing and I am not sure when the last time it was clean. We will not be back.

Great steakhouse. We sampled several bottles of old world wine, family stile apps and mains for 7, surprisingly the ribeye was better than the filet! Everyone was impressed.

My favorite restaurant in St.Augustine! Great food and extraordinary service! Always quick to refill my drink and the staff are very friendly. I usually get the salmon with the risotto and mushrooms. The risotto is my favorite, it's so creamy and tasty with the mushrooms. I also recommend their beef Wellington, breadsticks, and carpaccio! Good desserts as well. I am always satisfied with my experience here and would recommend giving it a try.
Michael's is an amazing restaurant and if your looking for a nice place to eat in downtown Saint Augustine I would recommend Micheal’s basically everything on the menu you’ll be happy with especially the steak which is my favorite. Whether you’re eating inside or out the experience is great. Decent service too.

Absolutely amazing. My boyfriend and I came here for dinner, and I was impressed. Out of all the beef carpaccio we have had, this has topped the list in terms of flavor. We did wish it was a little bigger though. Our waiter was extremely knowledgeable about the different wines they offered (which is a huge variety), and provided exceptional service. My rare steak was cooked to perfection, and the foie gras topping was the perfect finish. The Brussel sprouts with pomegranate were super good, as well as the mashed potatoes. We will definitely be back!

Michaels lives up to its reputation of a great dining experience. Beef Carpaccio was wonderful with its sweety drop peppers. Beef Wellington was perfectly prepared. Bananas Foster cake was Devine. Most extensive wine list in St Augustine. Almost too much. Too many $400+ wines. Would like to see more wines in the $100 range.

Michael's was a superb experience all around. I would go back there in a second. In fact I will. Thanks for the really great service and outstanding food. A standout in St. Augustine.

Nestled in the heart of downtown, Michael's delivers an exceptional dining experience that starts the moment you step through the door. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between upscale and welcoming, making it suitable for both special occasions and casual dinners. From the outset, the service is impeccable. The staff is attentive without being intrusive, demonstrating a deep knowledge of the menu and wine pairings. Our server Delaney was particularly skilled, offering recommendations that perfectly complemented our meal. The steaks are the star of the show, expertly cooked to perfection. I opted for the ribeye, which was beautifully marbled and bursting with flavor. Each bite was a testament to the quality of the ingredients and the skill of the kitchen. The wine list (or should I say wine *book*) is extensive and thoughtfully curated, featuring both local and international selections. Overall, Michael's excels in both service and culinary excellence. If you're seeking a memorable dining experience with superb steaks and fine wine, this restaurant should be at the top of your list. Highly recommended!

The best meal I have ever had. Yes, it was pricy, but it was worth every penny. The food was melt-in-your-mouth amazing. The service was excellent, dessert was incredible. 10/10 recommend. It was quiet and cozy. We will definitely be returning.

We had a wonderful birthday celebration. We started with the beef appetizer, then Caesar salad, then the Swordfish and Steak Diane and finished off with the key lime dessert. The red wine was great. It was perfect.

Only reservation available was 5:15 or 8:30. We took the 5:15. Completely empty from 5:15 to 6. Sat outside (our choice) in a delightful little courtyard setting. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. The sommelier helped us to pick an appropriate wine in our price range. 4x retail prices. Very good but very expensive.
