    As always Michael's grill knocks it out of the park. Among the best bread pudding you'll ever have and that includes having tried Gordon Ramseys itself and this one is on par.

    As always, the service and all four meals were excellent. The salads, the halibut and crab entree, escargot….all were exceptional. And our Belvedere martini’s were prepared perfectly. It was nice to chat with Joe and our server, Hunter was very attentive.

    My husband and I have been coming to Michael's for over 10 years, and the food, service, and staff never disappoint. Over the years, we've come to feel like family, and they have become family to us as well. Every visit is met with warm smiles, exceptional service, and a welcoming atmosphere that keeps us coming back. This weekend, we had the opportunity to bring my sister, who was visiting from out of town, and she absolutely loved it. It was so special to share one of our favorite restaurants with her. Thank you to the entire Michael's team for always making us feel welcomed, appreciated, and at home. We can't wait to come back! ❤️
