Inspired Continental Cuisine in the relaxing atmosphere of a stone fireplace, a view overlooking the Thames River and the elegance of live jazz every weekend.

Michael's offers a range of lunch favourites on weekdays and exceptional dining every evening. The selection of fine wines is varied in both region, producers and price. Dinner starts with delectable appetizers, from Escargots En Croute to Saganaki, followed by exceptional mains like Duckling A L'Orange , Prime Rib, or Canadian Sea Scallops Carbonara. Dessert at Michael's doesn't begin and end with Flaming Cherries. Try the Drunken Monkey or the Crème Brulee, or… well, you get the picture.

    I have celebrated friends birthdays by treated them to lunch at Michael's the last 2 times we had Maria as our server. In June she lost interest in our table when 5 people from an office came in and were ordering drinks & appetizers .This week my friend had a warm greeting she had been a regular customer and was greeted by name .The only time during our time there that was not invisible was when I ordered & requested whole wheat buns. When she picked up the cash for the bill She thanked my friend for coming and looked away from me. I really like Michael's but I have been disappointed twice .

    We were taking friends out and this is their favourite restaurant. I follow a vegan diet so this was not a good restaurant for me. My meal was OK but I could have made better tasting food at home. Everyone else enjoyed their meals. The service was very good and it was nice a warm. I liked that!

    Its been awhile since we've been to Michaels. We were disappointed in the overall appearance. For a supposed upscale restaurant it looks tired, certainly not elegant. The food was OK. Had an escargot appetizer that came with a mushroom cap and covered with cheese. All I could taste was cheese. The prime rib was tender and appetizing. The live music was appreciated. The service excellent.
