    You’re paying for the ambience and the service. Food was under seasoned and not worth its value. I ordered the lobster bisque and didn’t even finish it because of poor taste.

    I haven’t been to Michels for 40 years and was looking forward to it. I checked dressed code and purchased the required dress pants and shirt only to sit next to a regular wearing flip flops and board shorts he was known to staff and appeared to be celebrating an anniversary. Then on next table a family with three screaming toddlers which I would not expect at a five star restaurant. The service was excellent with meals fine but not outstanding. Won’t rush back, three people $400.00 including 20% tip

    結婚式も同時進行で行われていたとのことで仕方ないとは思いますが、料理がもう少し早く出てくるとよかったです。 味は全て美味しかったです。

    Michel’s is always our first and last dining stop when we travel to Honolulu. The beachside sights and sounds remind of us of why we travel to the Hawaiian Islands. The food and service (ask for Missy) match the setting. Always memorable!
