    Menu could have a few more choices. The food itself is exceptional, as is the service.

    I thought I should have made the reservation 3-4 months before in order to hold a window (ocean) side table, but the sun set was too bright, so I was happy that we did not get the window side table. Food was just the average. I expected more for their signature lobster bisque. The soup had a lot of liquor taste, so did not feel much lobster. Raw oysters were tasted great, but surprisingly small. We expected more for the price. Don’t forget sunscreen. Very bright when the sun set and the restaurant was really warm.

    The staff here is unreal. The service and attention we were given through the meal was outstanding. You can’t really beat the ambiance being right on the water on the Gold Coast out of the Waikiki busy streets. I have been here a few times but haven’t been back in 8 years. For the price you pay at michels and the reputation it has had for years I was expecting a lot more. We went to celebrate a birthday and engagement so we were looking for an experience. The table side service was wonderful and exciting pretty hard to beat. Drinks were great and the escargot was pretty spot on. When it came to the mains I would have definitely sent back everything that came out but I have a hard time turning back any food or even leaving a bad review at all. The lamb was bland my partner didn’t Even want to finish it and was also undercooked. The Wellington couldn’t have been much worse. I asked for whatever the chef recommended and it came out looking like poke Blue pretty much uncooked and still mooing. The other Wellington was almost blue also and was asked to be medium well. I don’t mind blue as long as it isn’t tough so I just ate it because the other Wellington was sent back to the kitchen. If they found a new chef I would come back but I could cook a better steak blindfolded. Thank you to all the staff for being incredible and holding everything together for our special day. The chef has absolutely no business being in a kitchen I don’t think I would even trust him at McDonalds on a deep fryer.
