Used Michael's for our rehearsal dinner for our wedding and it was incredible. Reasonably priced, great private space, and incredible service!! Would pick again :)

I thought the portions were a little small for the price but the food was very good. The service was very attentive as we had a large group and they took care of every special need that was requested.

The food was great! The staff was very nice. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because we were never offered dessert or anything additional. She brought us the check but we were still having talking and quite frankly I would have ordered more drinks and possibly dessert. After she took the payment, we never saw her again and even though we stayed for quite a while after that no one ever came over to see if we wanted anything else. Someone came but to get her tip off the table, but even that guy didn't ask if we wanted anything else since we were still there. It wasn't busy so I was surprised no one checked on us after that.

We traveled over an hour for dinner per a gift certificate. We loved it and I just had to make a comment about my dish, stuffed shrimp. I used to dream about women but now i dream about the delicious cheese- like covering for the crab stuffing. Go soak your heads, women!

We ordered the lamb special and it turned out that they had run out before the POS was updated. In order to remedy the situation, our waiter Brandon talked to Chef Santos about possibilities and Chef Santos offered up anything on the menu to replace it and said that he’d cook it himself in order to get everything out on time. The steak he replaced it with came out cooked perfectly and at the same time as my wife’s meal. After the meal, both Chef Santos and Brandon made an appearance table side together to make sure we were happy with the meal and the service. This is not normal for any restaurant, especially one so close to home. We come to Michael’s Cafe regularly, and this experience cemented the fact that we are making the right choice in doing so.

We love Michael's. But I will never again make a reservation without first asking if they are hosting a private party. And I won't ever go again if the answer is "yes." There was a lovely 16th birthday party there last night, and it was heartwarming to see how much fun they were having, but the noise was off the charts. The restaurant kept closing the doors, and the party people kept opening them. Finally, they were just left open. Service was horrifically slow, and I am only tying that to the party because we heard a server explaining the slowness that way to one of his own tables. Our server didn't say a word about it. We were also celebrating an anniversary. We let the restaurant know in advance (as they've always done something sweet for us in the past), but no one said a word to us about it, much less doing anything sweet for us. The servers were clearly doing their best, as, I assume, was the kitchen. But it wasn't enough to take care of the party people without having the regular diners impacted. The food was delicious, as always, although it seems to me that the seafood club had less seafood (crab cake and shrimp salad) than I'm used to seeing at Michaels. I realize that this could be due to rising costs., but given the price, it was disappointing. All in all, an average experience, on an evening meant to be special for us.

Wonderful place to enjoy good food! The manager, Chris was so helpful and friendly and gave us a nice, round table that we requested in a quieter room. Our server, Victoria, was extremely friendly, helpful and couldn't do enough to make our dining experience so pleasant.

We dined in tonight! Our server Jaden was amazing. He was so personable and very easy on the eyes. Service goes a long way to me. My husband and I are coming back on Thursday to see him again. The food was good too.

Great food and great place! Even though it was a busy Friday night, our table of 4 felt cozy and personal. Will definitely be back

The food was relatively good. The ribs and crab cakes were fine. The service was par. The best interaction was with the busboy and the manager. The waitress and greeter were not pleasant as I would have liked.

The meal I had with two other ladies was delicious. I ordered the Mediterranean wrap. No quarrel with the food at all. Unfortunately, about halfway through our meal there was a strong odor of cleaner that permeated our area. We didn't see any wait staff squirting it on tables using rags so I have no idea where it came from. I mentioned this to the lady at the reception desk by the parking lot side door as my friends and I left and she said she would check into this.

Food was good. Server, Brian, was excellent. Ambiance was good until place filled up and noise level was somewhat annoying. Would definitely go back.

Julia

The waitress was blaze about our food and drinks. No glass or ice provided with a canned cocktail. We had to ask for it. Food was very average. Two of us had the Muscles. They tasted ok but were the smallest I have ever seen!! We were seated by a large family party who were very loud.I had requested a quieter table because I had my 98 year old mother with me. Dessert was good. Creme Brulee. I doubt if we will go there again.
