    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!

    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.

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

    Excellent dinner except for some bad mussels which were promptly removed from the table and our bill. Thank you Michaels! Always a great meal!
    Michael's CafeResponded 7 days ago
    Sorry about the mussels. We take pride in the quality of our seafood, so when something like this happens, we follow the trail and see what went wrong. Thank you for leaving us a kind review. We hope to see you again soon.

    My Family and I visited for Brunch around 11am. Our server was excellent and very nice. My brother and I got there early so he got a couple of drinks and some Old Bay Wings which were very good. The Shrimp and Grits i got was recommended by our server and they were really good. My sister really enjoyed her burger as well. I’ll admit we did sit a little long at the table but we never felt rushed to leave which i appreciated, We’ll definitely be back
    Michael's CafeResponded on May 27, 2025
    We never want any of our guests to feel rushed during any part of the meal, whether that's the appetizer, entree, dessert, or after the check has been paid. Thank you for saying all the nice things about the specific items you had. We really appreciated that, and it helps when potential customers are checking out our reviews. We hope to serve you and your's again in the future.
