"Waiter was not so good. Did not check frequently to see if we needed anything (which we did). Food was good, as well as the ambiance. Nice lady lounge singer during our dinner there. Owner was gracious and welcoming. Will return, just hope we get a better waiter!"

"Having been to Michele's once before on a Friday night we thought it would be an ideal place to take my wife's stepmother and her friend who were visiting Fort Lauderdale. The bar was not nearly as crowded or loud when we arrived but there were many more diners in the beautiful restaurant so perhaps Saturdays are best for a quiet, more intimate dining experience while Friday's are dominated by the lively bar scene.

My dish, the roast pork tenderloin, was fantastic but my wife thought her chicken selection (never a restaurant's signature entree) was "okay" and her stepmother's lobster fairly dull though well presented. Michele's is an upscale neighborhood spot that seems to appeal to an over-50 crowd but still recommend it for anyone."

"We read "BEST BROWARD RESTAURANT IN 2011" and had to give it a try. The service was excellent and so was the food with tuna sashimi in the menu, great salads and tried their veal chop which was nothing short of spectacular. Great cocktails and pleasant atmosphere, couldn't figure out why the place was empty if it was so good. Would definitely return."

"we love this restaurant. We now have our 32 year old daughter hooked on this place. She is a picky eater, and has told everyone, what a great dinner she had on Satuday evening.
My husband is addicted to the bone in steak. He never has to look at the menu.
We shall be back very soon."

"I found Michele's through Open Table while in Ft. Lauderdale on a short business trip, noting its high ratings from others who have dined there. The ratings were not exaggerated, as the experience was great. Each of us enjoyed our food and our waiter was friendly and right there when needed."

"Great location...beautiful dining room...friendly servers..great food !! This restaurant came highly recommended. It lived up to all my expectaions. Here comes the downside, the price. Its high enough and alacarte which makes it a special occasion or once a yr visit...not that we don't mind paying for good service etc, but there are many good places to eat where that is more affordable. What sticks in my mind is the look on the other 3 ,who ordered a salad with their meal, when they realized it cost $36.00. We could eat @ our favorite restaurant 3 times, for what it cost us !!"
