This is a great restaurant for a date night or an outing with friends. They even have a whole separate section just for sports (an outdoor indoor atmosphere) - great vibe for adults. The service is great! We made a reservation and placed in a cozy room - very comfortable. The food was good and they had something for everyone. I had the chicken , rice and beans which I would definately get it again. If you go once, you will definately go again.

Considering the place wasn't full and we made a reservation, we were given a kind of crappy table. Our server, Mary (she is really good at her job) said, “still or sparkling (water)” and when you say still - they charge you SEVEN DOLLARS for a bottle of water. They said nothing about this until server said would you like me to wrap the bottle so you can take it with you? That's when I realized they were charging for it. I did not see this posted anywhere and we ordered drinks so charging for this water was ridiculous. But the food and service is excellent so I know we will go back- but better prepared. I have empathy for restaurants but if you're going to do this you owe it to the customers to notify us to at least give us an informed choice.

Dinner for four in the bar. We had the wings and crab dip. Very good shrimp salad sandwich was also good. Shakira was friendly and attentive.

We sat outside where there was live music which was nice although a little loud. We are always surprised at the large range of prices (from $15 sandwiches to $85 steaks). The food is decent but not great.

I asked for a quiet table as I am deaf. The noise level was off the charts. The waiter was slow. It took 15 minutes after we got the check to finish payment. The deviled eggs were so salty they were almost uneatable. The shrimp salad was just over salted. The water glass had soap residue so the water tasted bitter.

Our first visit. The service was very good. Our server Mark, was efficient and attentive. He recommended the special for the day. The blackened halibut was very good. It was a late seating so the dining area was not full but it was still noisy. If it were full you'd have to speak loudly to be heard. We walked past the bar seating where they have large screen tv's. That looked like a great area to watch a game. I'd definitely go back but not for any intimate occasion. It's a lively atmosphere with nice decor and good food.

Our service was absolutely horrible. We waited 15 minutes for someone to even come over and take our order.

Amazing food, beautiful ambience whether you want to enjoy the upscale environment or if you're just trying to watch a football game at the bar, they cater to each crowd. The staff is also very kind. I frequent here often and recommend it to people when asked.

Always a good experience at Michael's. Love our server, Mary. She's been there for a long time. She's always sweet and accommodating part a while. I like going there.

Great turkey dinner. Prime Rib wasn't the best. But, our server Victoria was incredible. Excellent service!
Food was wonderful. The crab cake and cod were fabulous as were the burger and seafood club! Brought out dessert for the birthday girl. Service was not great, waitress barely came by throughout dinner and when she dropped off bday cake just walked away. Never offered dessert to rest of our party.

enjoyed a busy saturday evening meal with friends with good food but the noise made it near impossible to hear each other!

Very disappointed. Seated near host stand though place was empty. Listened to clash of ringing phone, bar and restaurant music feeds. Ordered brisket hash and eggs - leftover brisket slices drowned in BBQ sauce made potatoes soggy. Mediocre (undercooked) bacon and (overcooked) eggs.

Because of the macroeconomic forces at play, real wages have not raised proportionately with prices. So just a few years ago, the same meal and service would be less than $100. These days, it's $150 and higher. This is true of most higher end restaurants and not just the case with Michael's. Other things being equal, in comparison to similar restaurants, the prices are comparable.

Stopped in for lunch. Had an old fashion and shrimp salad platter. Yummy. Waiter was cool.
