What Peter Steinberg likes about Michael's Back Door:
All the waiters are funny and really welcoming. Every customer at the restaurant seemed to be having a great time.

View all feedback. What Wonderful doesn't like about Michael's Back Door:
We arrived on time to the restaurant being lively and busy. We waited almost 45 minutes for drinks and to start ordering. The food arrived 1.5 hours after arriving and was inconsistent. Our arugula salad was very plain while my husband’s fish dish was stunning. The venue is nice, clean and fun. Service and food were less than exciting. View all feedback.

I love the food here but they need to stop putting paper napkins underneath the lumpia because it always sticks to the lumpia and I don't want to eat paper
