   Efficient and friendly service. Food gets a mixed review. My companion had the trout, which he said was good. I had the duck, which was a full leg. It was only luke warm and the meat was dry. My thought was, "This has been sitting under a heat lamp too long." The duck was accompanied by a SMALL serving of spinach and mashed potatoes. And if you wanted bread there was an extra charge. I may give them another try, but it will not be my first choice.

   I took myself to brunch for Mother’s Day, and since it was just me, I was able to get a reservation. Despite other reviews I read, the servers were very warm and attentive. I was never able to empty my water glass, and was asked if I wanted another drink right as I finished the first one. My main server and I even bonded over jewelry. At the suggestion of my server, I ordered the quiche that was on special for Mother’s Day. It came with a side of asparagus and tomato salad. It sounds like a lot of food, but wasn’t. It’s rare that I am able to finish my food when going to a restaurant, but save for a few green leaves, I did. It was delicious and satisfying! The drink I ordered was called “Your Highness”, which I felt was appropriate given the day. ☺️ I’d compare it to a mimosa, though not as sweet as typical mimosas. It was very pretty (had a twist of lemon and edible glitter in it), and very good. The bartender did not skimp on the pour. The ambience was perfect, and would be appropriate no matter the time of day. I’ll definitely be back. I want to try their happy hour.

   Great location, excellent menu and the food was beautifully prepared. But the service is slow slow slow! Restaurant was only half full but impossible to get any server’s attention. Staff is nice and friendly, just invisible when it come to simple service. Worst service I’ve had in probably ten years.

    Each time we dine at Michele’s we are met with a friendly staff that provides excellent customer service. The drinks are amazing and the food is delicious! Our starters included shrimp cocktail, lobster salad and French onion soup. I believe the French onion soup was the best I’ve ever had! We ordered the double cheeseburger and a pasta dish for our entrees. Then we ordered the rhubarb orange cake for dessert. It was all delicious.

    The food was excellent and the customer service was phenomenal. Both our waiter and the manager made sure we had an amazing dining experience. We had the shrimp cocktail which is prepared sue vie style so it was extremely tender. We also ordered the mushroom tart that's on a flat puff pastry. It was delicious. We ordered the double burger and whole fried fish and shared them. Again delicious! They even have a cocktail that I believe is only available at their restaurant. It think its called honey I'm sorry I'm late. It's a must try because it's smooth and unique.

    My only real complaint was that both of our dishes arrived at our table lukewarm. We had the crawfish linguini and the smash burger, and both were lukewarm for a Michelin-rated place. That’s not what I was expecting and especially for that price. While the food was delicious, it would’ve been better hot. Maybe it was an off night, but it made the occasion bittersweet.

    We ate here as part of a special menu for "Taste of Iceland." While we had to wait for our table a bit past our reservation time, the staff were very apologetic and accommodating, and they comped a round of drinks for us while we waited. We felt well taken care of before and during the meal, and the food was delicious. We would definitely come back for the regular menu.

    We came for the Taste of Iceland tasting menu and the food was wonderful. Each course was delicious and complimented one another. Dessert was a great end to the experience and the chef came out to do a final presentation of the dessert. Great service and they were very accommodating to my parties dietary restrictions. Thank you!

    I went here to eat the special ‘Taste Of Iceland’ menu and the food was INCREDIBLE! However, the service of the restaurant was terrible. Firstly, we weren’t sure who our waiter was at the restaurant. Once we figured out who our waiter was, it was hard to get his attention. He didn’t seem interested in us. Secondly, we had a 4 course meal and the courses came out very very slowly. I noticed that the table next to us got their food before us (even though they came in after us and had ordered the same menu). Thirdly, once we were given each course, there was no exclamation from our waiter. Our waiter just dropped the plates off and left. Fourthly, it was my birthday and the restaurant said they would do some special for me, but they did not. I will not be retuning to this restaurant because of the terrible service. But the food from the ‘Taste of Iceland’ was amazing!

    Great Icelandic tasting menu. A little pricey ($95 each) for 4 courses. But certainly 4 very unique dishes. Loud place with a bar area adjacent. Interesting hotel lobby next store you should walk over an visit.

    Went to Michele's for the Taste of Iceland dinner and the food was amazing! Definitely worth the price and the experience. The waiters and chefs did an amazing job as well, were very informative and friendly. The night started fine with a fairly quick service (outside of my drink being forgotten), but around the 3rd course out of 4 is when service really started to slow down and take much longer for our plates to be removed. We waited almost 30 minutes between the last two courses, and by the end we were there for 2.5 hours. Honestly, I think they forgot about our table for a while. One person at the table actually missed getting to the parking garage on time to get their car because it took so long at the restaurant.

    I booked this location for my monthly dinner group due to their pre fixed meal. The menu online met food allergies and pallets for all dinners. A $25 per person cancellation charge is applied if reservation is canceled and a card is required. Upon check-in, the hostess greeted us, sat us, and noted that wine bottles were half of this Thursday evening. The night just got better. The first concern was that seats are low (both chairs and banquet side) from the table...ok we adjust. The waiter, Aaron, was non-existent most of the night, never asked allergies for table members, and pretty much said he was not surprised that the menu online differed from the one on the table. A manager came over and implied that maybe we had the wrong menu or a menu from Google, we went to the menu on their website in front of him in the moment and noted the discrepancy. He then adapted a dish for a group member based on the advertised menu. Wonderful. That wonderful hostess who mentioned half off wine bottles was apparently misinformed, as that promotion, according to a manager, ended a week ago...odd as 10 mins ago, she mentioned it. They also honored that The service and going through so many hoops to make them stand by their menu (if they had said they had a rotating menu, we would understand, we deselected another restaurants menu due to this) The highlight of this pre fixed meal was the actual food. From the bread and the soup, to the quail...ohhh the quail, to the cod. It was all wonderful. If the waiter Aaron ever came back to check in on us, we would have shared the rave reviews on the food itself. Would I go back, maybe sit at the bar...and for the quail, that was sooo good!

    Overall, the experience was nice but too expensive. Arrived for an 8:15 PM reservation and was told that we would have to wait 15-30 minutes because they were running behind (Valentine’s Day). Once we were seated we were served plates, one of which was dirty but noticed immediately by the serving staff and replaced. We ordered the Valentine’s Day $95 three course prix fixe, an additional first course, and two cocktails each. Overall, the food was tasty but portions were a bit small, even for a prix fixe menu. Keep in mind you’re paying $30+ / course at this price. It was a nice experience but we’ll try another spot next time.

    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.
