    We were in one of the dining areas, not a bar area and acoustics are VERY loud. Gr8 energy for HH, not so much for a business or casual conversations. Food's always great.

    We had a great meal while celebrating my mother's 86th birthday. The steak she ordered was cooked perfectly, and the cheesecake dessert was a real surprise and thoroughly appreciated. I had the ribs and they were spectacular. The service Brendan provided was great!
    Michael's CafeResponded 3 days ago
    George, thank you so much for giving us the honor of bringing your mother on such a special occasion. Brendan takes great care of his guests and his professional and friendly at the same time. We see she appreciates the exceptional flavor of a prime-rated steak! We are glad that you enjoyed the ribs and, of course, the well-deserved birthday cheesecake. We hope to see you again sometime soon.

    Big place. We apparently entered the restaurant not through the entrance so were standing at, what we thought was, the hostess table for a few minutes until we were directed to the actual entrance. We ordered the apple and walnut salad, French onion soup, and braised short rib. Service was good but a little slower than we would have liked especially getting our drinks.
    Michael's CafeResponded 3 days ago
    We are glad to hear you thoroughly enjoyed your food. Sorry about the delays in service you faced along the way. Thanks for seeing it through and seeing the value in us! We hope to serve you again sometime.

    Service was really bad- I feel like maybe our server was new and not trained? Food was good though!
