Michele’s - Washington

Very disappointing 3-course restaurant week Prix fixe. Appetizer of roasted oysters was good, entrée of cod was undercooked and completely lacked seasoning, dessert of coconut rice pudding was inedibly salty. Service and cocktails were nice. Really wish I hadn’t spent so much money on a meal I didn’t enjoy.

May have been an off night. Food was not up to par and service was stretched thin. The ambiance was nothing special.

This was a big disappointment. My biggest issue is how they handle their menus. They only initially provide you a price fixed menu for $85 a person. I am not a big dessert person, But lacking other choices presented, we ordered the price fixed. Only to find after we finished dinner, they have an À la cart menu. You apparently have to ask for it. Second, the food was good, but no where near the price point. Third, service was very slow. We had an early dinner at 5:30. We finished at 8:00pm. And not because we were lingering and chatting. We essentially were done at 7:00pm but a very slow desert course and even slower arriving check added an hour of impatience to our experience. There are much better option in town. Try them first.

Non impressed at all. Sorry. I even got sick from the Oyster appetizer

What a wonderful experience. This was our first visit. The Thanksgiving menu they offered was excellent. Plenty to chose from. The young Chef treats ingredients with great respect, adding a touch of magic that in the end makes them shine. Great service. We normally spend Thanksgiving somewhere in Europe. Michele’s made this Thanksgiving memorable. The food is as good or better than many we have had in the past.
