Arrived at six, it was not packed. Service treated us so kindly. This place has a good atmosphere. Food is similar to a cafe in Indianapolis I loved.

The Cubano and Grilled cheese here is amazing!!!!! If you can find a better meal at reasonable price on the corner, let me know.

This place is great! The Cubano and Grilled Cheese were as gourmet as they get and they're reasonably priced too! I'm not sure what Tyson M. is talking about.

Had dinner and a conversation with the owner. Great guy, awesome atmosphere and a great sandwich. Highly recommend.

Michael bistro is just a horrible place to go for brunch. Horrible service, horrible food, we went couple times and it was just a waist of time and money. The new ownership is all over the place they are completely clueless.

Overpriced food, small portions. Good location, cozy vibe.

Went to their Happy Hour with work colleagues. At the end of happy hour we closed our tabs and the waitress did not give us the drinks at the discounted price but charged us the regular price for drinks. We brought it to her attention and she said that she couldn't change it because she put the drinks in after happy hour had ended even though we ordered and drank everything during that time. We had her call her supervisor and he did nothing. On top of that, because it was a big group, a 20% service fee was included. Tabs that were supposed to be 3 dollars and 10 dollars ended up being 11 and 23 dollars. It was theft, plain and simple. Never going there again

I've been to Michael's many times over the years. It's one of the few places on the corner that is quiet enough to have a nice dinner with family or on a date. I love that they try to source their meats locally and have rotating taps of different local beers. I highly recommend this place!

One of the BEST kept secrets at UVA is over top of the NY littlejohn deli if you don't understand the information isn't for you.

I'm a little confused as to what has happened here. My family and I try to come in every few months, and this time was so god awful that I'm sad to say I don't think I'll return. Apparently there's no more craft cocktail menu and our server told us that the place is about to turn into a sports bar. I can't begin to express how disappointed I am. I'm not sure it can really be called a "Bistro" anymore with a tacky sports bar interior and still overpriced food. There's too many other amazing restaurants in town to waste time and money on this one. Extremely rude management as well from the older blonde lady. 0/5 stars.

I have been going to Michaels for many years. Good is great, service is better, and if you’re looking for some fun late night, this is the place for it!
