    We enjoyed our dinner last evening. Our dinners were very good and our server, Mary, was excellent. She was professional, courteous, and attentive.

    We were a group of 4 and were waited on by one of the original servers. The service was attentive and responsive. The specials were very interesting, but overpriced at $50 and up. The alcohol selection was extensive and prices were similar to those in a bar. Two of us ordered the Lobster and Fried Zucchini, which we highly recommend as both delicious and unique. The flavors ranged from savory to sweet and struck a good balance. The others ordered the crab cake and french onion soup and the shrimp sandwich. Everyone was pleased with both quality and quantity. Dessert was a generous portion of creme brulee. Although the experience was pleasant, the cost was high. Dinner for 4 with a total of 5 beers and 1 wine, came to $230. After tip it was $280. While enjoyable, $70 per person for dinner at Michael’s seems excessive, especially when there were no pricy drinks or bottles of wine.

    Food and atmosphere were amazing. Waiter was awesome until he brought out the wrong order. We politely asked him for the right one. We hate sending food back but our 5 year old wouldn’t eat the wrong food. He seemed annoyed, though stated it was the kitchens fault, not his. We got it quickly (yay!) but then we never saw him again. Had to flag him down to get the check, wanted more coffee but bc he disappeared for 15+ min, so we just skipped it. He seemed annoyed when we left. The food was DELICIOUS. Beautiful atmosphere

    We had the pleasure of being served by Mary at Michael’s restaurant, and she made our experience absolutely wonderful. Mary has been with Michael’s for 24 years, and it’s easy to see why. Her warm personality, incredible attention to detail, and genuine care for her guests truly set her apart. She anticipated our needs, made great recommendations, and ensured everything was perfect from start to finish. It’s rare to find such outstanding service, and Mary exemplifies why Michael’s has such a loyal following. Thank you, Mary, for making our visit so memorable — you are a true gem!
    Michael's CafeResponded on June 17, 2025
    Thank you for this kind ode to our long-time member, Mary. Your words here ring true, and it no doubt puts a smile on her face.

    great food and service. wish bar was open later for sport events. 10pm closing is too early
    Michael's CafeResponded on June 17, 2025
    Thanks for the compliments on the food and the service. In hindsight, we should have considered staying open a little later for the Stanley Cup final (assuming that's the game you were interested in this particular night).
