This restaurant was overpriced and underwhelming. The best part was the bread. Nothing stood out as great, and when we received the $300 bill for the two of us, we realized that the salmon was overcooked, the vegetables were overcooked and small, the soup had a burnt taste, the dessert was cold, and overall, everything was disappointing for such an expensive restaurant.

Michael's restaurant offers a hit-or-miss experience based on diverse customer reviews. While some diners found the dishes to be overpriced and underwhelming, with some even calling it "absolute trash," others appreciated the exquisite food and outstanding service. The ambiance received positive feedback, especially in the patio area. Mixed opinions also arose concerning the speed and quality of service, with some feeling let down by disorganization and a lack of responsiveness. However, longtime patrons rave about the consistent excellence they have experienced over the decades. Despite varying viewpoints, Michael's seems to remain a popular choice for many diners.
