    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.

    We celebrated Father's Day and had the pleasure of enjoying an exceptional dining experience that exceeded all expectations at Michels. We were fortunate to be seated near the window facing the beach; the ambience set the perfect tone—warm and inviting which created a relaxing atmosphere. The food was truly outstanding. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, full of flavor, and presented with great attention to detail making it a memorable culinary journey. Equally impressive was the service. The staff were attentive, courteous, and knowledgeable, striking the perfect balance between professionalism and friendliness. They ensured that every aspect of the meal was smooth and enjoyable, adding a personal touch that made the evening feel truly special. Overall, it was a remarkable experience—one that we would highly recommend and look forward to repeating.

    This was the third time we’ve celebrated our anniversary at Michel’s and it was wonderful as always! We had a nice table by the window overlooking the water with perfect timing for a beautiful sunset. Michael, our server gave excellent suggestions for wine and food, and we thoroughly enjoyed watching him prepare our cherries jubilee dessert table side. Everything was delicious and we highly recommend Michel’s!
