   Food and service were superb. Website had not made it clear that full tasting menu was unavailable on Sunday night. Several of the tasting menu choices were available on the a la carte menu.

   Disgusting bathrooms. Not worth putting down a credit card for deposit food wise. The viet beef appetizer was not cohesive and banh mi gone wrong. Best part of the meal was the cheesecake dessert and comfortable seating

   Very disappointing. The price-fixed menu looked inviting so we did it. As compared with other Restaurant Week offerings Michele's was expensive and the food was reminiscent of "gourmet" fast food. The entree was lukewarm - who likes warm cod? The service was fair to good. We should have left when we all felt that the ambiance was all wrong and it was noisy. Staff members were courteous.

   Very disappointing 3-course restaurant week Prix fixe. Appetizer of roasted oysters was good, entrée of cod was undercooked and completely lacked seasoning, dessert of coconut rice pudding was inedibly salty. Service and cocktails were nice. Really wish I hadn’t spent so much money on a meal I didn’t enjoy.

   May have been an off night. Food was not up to par and service was stretched thin. The ambiance was nothing special.

   This was a big disappointment. My biggest issue is how they handle their menus. They only initially provide you a price-fixed menu for $85 a person. I am not a big dessert person, But lacking other choices presented, we ordered the price-fixed. Only to find after we finished dinner, they have an À la cart menu. You apparently have to ask for it. Second, the food was good, but no where near the price point. Third, service was very slow. We had an early dinner at 5:30. We finished at 8:00pm. And not because we were lingering and chatting. We essentially were done at 7:00pm - but a very slow desert course and even slower arriving check added an hour of impatience to our experience. There are much better option in town. Try them first.

    What a wonderful experience. This was our first visit. The Thanksgiving menu they offered was excellent. Plenty to chose from. The young Chef treats ingredients with great respect, adding a touch of magic that in the end makes them shine. Great service. We normally spend Thanksgiving somewhere in Europe. Michele’s made this Thanksgiving memorable. The food is as good or better than many we have had in the past.

    Wonderful evening at the bar. The foods were very good and well presented. We shared the whole fish dish along with hush puppies and celery and kale salad. The fish perfectly cooked and crispy and beautiful plated with rice and veggies and Vietnamese fish sauce.

    Good flavors, but very small portions. Prices were on the high side—spent around $400 on dinner for two. Not their fault, but every time the front door opened, the restaurant filled with the odor of marijuana smoke from the huge crowd of potheads hanging out front. Not likely to go back.

    We had the prix fixe meal, and it was delicious! The grilled quail was a nice surprise - so few places offer this option. The langoustine pasta had a subtle creamy sauce that I enjoyed very much. The only disappointment were the desserts - flourless chocolate cake and bananas foster. Service was excellent and the space has a cozy ambiance. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    We went to Michele’s on a Saturday evening with another couple during restaurant week. The ambiance is pleasant but not amazing - with tables rather close together. The food was good but not amazing. The bread was really delicious as were the chocolate and lemon desserts. The waiter was a very pleasant guy, but the food came out extremely slowly. We were there for almost 3 hours. The restaurant week price of $55 per person was a bit deceiving as well - as it does not include appetizers or drinks - which are quite expensive - getting us to $125 per person.

    Not impressed with the food, quality and quantity wise. Too expensive as we had to order several more items to have enough food. Desserts were far too sweet and nobody finished their portion. Sorry to say that this was probably the most disappointing restaurant week menu we ever had.

    Their brunch/lunch option for DC Restaurant week were disappointing. Ambiance and service are excellent, the food was not cooked or seasoned well. The dessert tasted like a day old grocery store bought peach “cobbler.”

    The food was just okay. The "peach cobbler" was simply glazed peaches topped with crumble and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The waiter was almost non existent. We had to wait over 30 minutes for two Arnold Palmers. However, the staff filling water glasses and clearing the table were very attentive. If it wasn't for them I would give this place one star. The food was uninspired. We won't be back.

    Went for restaurant week. Felt like the food lacked flavor. But the chocolate flourless cake has to be one of the best I’ve had. Servers were nice and attentive, but felt a little socially awkward. Was expecting more but wasn’t bad.

    The food was excellent but the staff was overwhelmed by the crowds due to Resturant week. They should have anticipated that better and not have the service run 20 minutes behind schedule. It’s not a good look for the place.

    Birthday dinner for my wife was fabulous occasion even though it was just the two of us. The hostess Rosa made us feel most welcome and easy to enjoy our first time, especially with parking tips. Our waiter John was very gregarious and shared a wealth of knowledge about the restaurant, DC, each of the menu items, and we feel like we made a friend - that we want to see each time we go back!
