The service was super friendly & impeccable. I wasn't overly impressed with my meal, and neither was my guest. Great wine! I've wanted to try the place for a long time, so a check off my list!

The food was delicious, everyone at the table enjoyed what they got. The artichoke arancini appetizer is highly recommended. The dessert was also really good (although the size was quite small for some of them.. suggest asking before ordering especially if you want to share). All the staff were extremely friendly. Overall great experience, will be coming back here.

Michael's Backdoor is our go-to place for special dining. I only do the rack of lamb because it's always good. Kevin, our server, was very helpful and attentive. We had the lentil soup for starter, I had my rack of lamb, and my husband had the chicken. However, he wasn't happy with the chicken and thought he could have done better with the fish. On the whole, though, we enjoyed our meal; the ambiance, as always, was conducive to quiet conversation; and Kevin was attentive.
