I love this place! I prefer the quiet evenings, so I avoid the live music nights, but food is always good and staff are friendly.

We were traveling with our dog and enjoyed a lovely Thanksgiving dinner at Michaels. Service was a little slow but it was a busy time and holiday - we enjoyed ourselves nonetheless.

I usually love MOM. I will not go for a holiday again. It was out of control chaos. It was at least 30 minutes before they took our order. Our salad came fairly quickly but then we didn’t see anyone for close to an hour. Finally our waitress came to confirm our desserts. But I said we haven’t had our dinner yet. They were a mess! The food was mediocre. But I will still go on regular days. Never a holiday again!

Upon arrival they didn’t have our reservation (which is strange; because it’s clearly shown here in the app). No worries, there were tons of empty tables inside and out. In fact the please was nearly a ghost town. Food was fast, warm, and delicious.

Had reservations for 6pm. Wasn't aware that a show was going on, no big deal. Checked in with the waitress let them know we were here for dinner. Got drinks from the bar and then sat down at our table. I think we and another group were the only ones sitting inside the dining area. I'm about to finish my glass of wine and I noticed that no one has come by to ask us for water, appetizers, etc. With the show going on it occurred to me that if you weren't there for the show, good luck in getting any attention as far as ordering dinner was concerned. I don't mean to bash the place but I get it if you're short staffed. We finished our wine and still no wait staff around. We left and went to the Tampico's Mexican place next door. Much better atmosphere all around. So thanks to Michael's for not serving us dinner. We would have never found Tampico's.

I enjoy the food here - we tend to come when there is live music, so my rating of the noise level reflects that! The pistachio-crusted salmon is always a favorite, as are the quinoa cakes. Overall I would prefer the veggie sides to be a bit more cooked than they usually are - a big bowl of crunchy brussels sprouts isn't easy to get through, for example. But all in all I love this place, and am so glad it's continuing to thrive. **update: the next time I came after I first posted this review, everything was perfect: salmon not underdone, with veggies just that little bit more cooked that makes them so delicious and easy to eat (getting the tender part of tender-crisp right, not just the crisp). Thanks, Michael's!
