Maddie the bartender is absolutely amazing. Shes attentive, charismatic, social, and all around great at her job. Unfortunately the management seems a bit not up to par...items are never in stock such as certain liquor, no plastic cups or napkins ordered. The staff is a dream though. The lovely bartender made it all worth it by making any drink she could with what was left and being so fun.
Food was pretty good the times I came to Michael's. I liked the turkey sandwich, the meat was tender and paired surprisingly well with the apples for a crisp, warm sandwich. The burger was decent, though basic. Could have used a higher quality meat as well but for the price it was fine. The real standout to me was the pork belly, though I think that's gone now. It had the perfect marbling of the meat, with fat that would just melt in your mouth. None of the dinner options...
Fun place to go for drinks. They have good cocktails, including the Original Zen. They also have fun board games! Their outside patio is very nice. I wish I'd discovered this place sooner!
