Experience was overall excellent.
This restaurant is so incredible. We came here for the last night of our honeymoon and ordered the tasting menu which had a few courses made table side. It’s a long time gem that is open-air on the beach and is not crowded with tourists. Definitely on the more expensive side, but worth every penny. I would definitely try to book the dinner time slot to watch the sunset. I would recommend this spot to anyone and will definitely be back.
A classic "old school" fine dinning experience. Impeccable service. Great view of the sunset and Waikaki Beach from the dining room. They were operating at 50% capacity following COVID regulations so lots of space. The dining room is basically open to the outside so great air circulation as well. A special occasion place.
Overall very good. Service was great. The seating was disappointing. I asked for a table by the rail when I made my reservation but the hostess was noncommittal. She didn’t say those tables are already reserved two months in advance. When we arrived we were seated by the bar which was very noisy. There was also a loud drunk lady sitting nearby.
What an incredible staff, it truly is a fine dining experience with a gorgeous sunset view! The food was tasty, and prepared table side (what a show). I would come back just to hang out with this friendly and attentive staff that made us feel very welcome and appreciated during our meal.
A very nice restaurant with amazing servers worth the time for a nice beachside meal, everything about it was perfect. Great experience.
Great service by Kalani!
Awesome experience!
Great ambiance, food, service. No place better for a nice romantic dinner in the Islands with a view of the Hawaiian sunset.
What a great way to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary! They even had the menu made up special for us with a congratulations message preprinted on it! Food was delicious! Service was awesome! And our table was perfect in a corner right next to the beach! Outstanding!
Stellar! In every way possible
Amazing place with amazing food! Definitely worth the stop!
The food was amazing! Everything we ordered was great and came out fast! The service we received was wonderful As well. No complaints.
Had a wonderful time at the Valentines Prix Fixe. Well taken care of. The food was incredible and the views cannot be beat. It was a wonderful way to end our trip to Hawaii. A good variety and well put together set menu. Everything tasted great.
Great service from Josh, Phil and the whole team
The Valentine's dinner at Michel's was exceptional! Every course was excellent (taste and presentation) coupled with the great wine pairings made it a memorable evening. Our guests enjoyed it very much and we will definitely return to this fine restaurant!
Michel's provides a magical and intimate experience that made my husband and I feel special and valued. Every detail was planned and executed to the highest standard and we felt safe in dining there during the pandemic. Mahalo to the Michel's ohana for delivering such a high quality experience. We'll definitely be back and recommend to our ohana and friends
Yet to have a negative experience at Michel's. Food, service, ambiance were wonderful. Will definitely return🤙
Had dinner because it was my daughter's birthday. She had the Wine Tasting special. She thoroughly enjoyed herself, server was excellent. Food was delicious, with impressive plating. The whole experience made it very memorable for her. Only complaint was that we were seated near the beach and the sun was beating on us. After sunset, it was comfortable.
Anniversary
Outstanding high quality food that is memorable and delicious. I eat out most nights and all over the world - a top ten destination - must have Lobster Bisque, Caesar Salad, Lamb and Fish dishes. Bravo! Worth the risk of Covid!
Awesome view excellent service food was amazing! They take great pride in there service and are very attentive to your every need highly recommend lobster soup or even Ceasars salad to start! Will be back a must do if you only live once, or over and over like there's no tomorrow you should come here to Michel's restaurant!
Pricy, but the location and great food makes it worth it.
You can’t beat the ambience of dining at Michel’s. Considering the Covid 19 social distancing, we still had an enjoyable dinner. Service was a bit slow but all in all, still a great place to enjoy a romantic evening under the stars beachside. They’ve recently freshened up the place so feels nice.
Thanks to Chef Hardy and his creative team plus the excellent service staff, we had a fabulous brunch! We will definitely be back latest on the 1st Sunday of March and every month thereafter!
Incredible experience.
I’ve already recommended to two other couples. My wife has decided it will replace Top of Waikiki as our significant event dining location.
The ambience and service here really can’t be beat. Definitely one of my favorite places in Oahu. We tried the tasting menu and the crabcakes and desserts were out of this world.
Had a lovely evening, everyone was was helpful and kind.
I can see why, so many of my mainland and Hawaii business colleagues and close friends ... chose Michel’s as the special place to propose marriage to their significant other. Of my 8 friends who did propose to their partners here at Michel’s Waikiki... all of them are still in fact married after all these years! LOL. And it has to be primarily attributable to 4 to course meals at Michel’s. From the a·muse-bouche to the smokey lobster 🦞 bisque and the French onion soup... to the foie gras side and op caviar... to the entrees, our party enjoyed each course. Staff were very attuned and intimately knowledgeable about the foods.

Always a pleasure dinning at Michelle’s.
Philip has a finely turned team of servers to make your
experience A+
And the food was delicious. Everything
If you like a sunset dinner, reserve early.
The food is outstanding well worth the visit. Watching the sunset there never gets old.
We had been to Michel's in a long time, it was as good as I remember it. The service was very good and the menu had a wide variety. Out two main ere the Lamb in coffee and goat cheese and Cioppino, both were cooked as ordered an had great flavor.
Michel’s is a quality, traditional dining super star. It’s all first rate—the service, the food, the drinks, and the desserts.
The foods here are just ok but not great. The cioppino here as example came with green muscle and no squid. The broth for this dish is just OK but not great. The restaurant is old and dated, it’s in real needs for some remodeling. The only thing this place has above average is the view and the service.
Everything was exquisite! Service was great and food was amazing!
Excellent food and service. The view is amazing.
If you enjoy ambiance, fabulous food, perfect service then Michel's at the Colony Surf should be your first choice. From the foie gras to the table side Caesar salad to the chateaubriand to the chocolate soufflé --everything was perfection! And just because Michel's was once called one of the most romantic restaurants in the world, don't think it is "couples only". We had a FUN Girl's Night out + yes we followed all Covid guidelines! EXCELLENT!
Went here for my 35th birthday. Had the best view and best server. Food was great
Celebrated my husband’s birthday! Everything from the sunset to the dessert was amazing!
