Chef Michael's - ISLAMORADA
Chef Michael's
Description
At Chef Michael's, anticipation is often met with mixed results. Diners appreciate the fresh, daily handpicked fish and delectable dishes like sautéed hogfish and a signature sampler. However, there's frustration over misleading menu items, such as the advertised lionfish, which was unavailable, leading to disappointment. While some rave about the exceptional service and vibrant atmosphere, others report rudeness and miscommunications regarding reservations. Though the food shines for many, including conch chowder and unique fish preparations, a lack of consistency dampens the experience. Overall, while Chef Michael's has its loyal followers, it must address operation hiccups to maintain its reputation in the Keys.

The food was much better than I thought it was going to be. I got sautéed triple tail and it was very good! The whole lion fish was amazing! If you’re into eating a whole fried fish, it’s extremely filing, much larger than it seems!
5 stars all around. The food melts in your mouth. The service and atmosphere are un matched.
The restaurant advertised Lionfish on their menu but did not have it available. This was very disappointing and misleading, especially considering the $100 penalty for cancelling a reservation. The service was mediocre and somewhat indifferent. The restaurant's response to my review seemed dismissive, as if they didn't heavily promote the Lionfish dish. While I understand that availability can vary, it felt like they were trying to downplay the situation as a misunderstanding rather than admit to falsely advertising the dish.
Sometimes I feel like I have a family of critics, but not at this restaurant. From the appetizers to the desserts, the food was amazing.
Came here for my birthday/ cook your catch lobster (it was mini season) dinner. We sat at the bar and they pushed us into a small corner of the bar even though no one else sat at the bar the whole time we were there. The food was excellent, the service was ok as far as attentiveness and timeliness. However the bartender was unpleasant and had a very negative attitude. She was very short when we asked her about different preparations or desserts. She really put a damper on our evening with her surliness and poor attitude. I would not dine at the bar again.
