   This is one of the most comfortable and enjoyable restaurants we have ever been to....which is why we're still going back for dinner here 30 years after we first discovered it! April 23rd was another great dining experience. The food was exceptional - shrimp cocktail, Branzino, Flat Iron Steak, Tiramisu and with glasses of the featured chardonnay and the featured Cabernet Sauvignon. Some were regular menu items - some were specials but all were excellently presented, flavorful and delicious. As we have come to expect, the service was excellent and Michael and Kevin did a superb job looking after us. When we leave it is always with the commitment to return as soon as possible knowing that when we do we'll have another wonderful meal and evening at Michael's Back Door!

   Love love love! We have been going here for the past 11 years and we can’t say enough. The staff and service are amazing! My Favorite is the penne pasta and the tiramisu - must have.

   Food and service was excellent, by the end of the evening all the tables had filled as we got there at 6 PM, but by 8 PM the noise level was higher than you would like for such a nice ambiance of a restaurant.

   We’ve been coming to this restaurant for years, and it never disappoints. The food is always fresh, flavourful, and consistently well-prepared—there’s a comforting reliability in knowing you’re going to have a great meal every time. The prices are excellent, and there’s always a nice variety of specials to choose from. On our most recent visit, we started with the salmon and the burrata appetizers—both were outstanding. For mains, we had the chicken pollo and the cod from the daily special. Both dishes were generously portioned and absolutely delicious. The only minor hiccup of the night was a mix-up with one of our cocktails, but the restaurant was very busy, and the servers—who are always friendly and attentive—handled everything with grace. The highlight of the night was definitely the tiramisu. It was the best thing we ate all evening. The fresh fruit was a lovely touch, and the Grand Marnier along with the chocolate pearls elevated it to something really special. All in all, another great experience at a place we truly enjoy. We’re already looking forward to our next visit.

   We go to Michael’s for dinner on a regular basis with our friends. Antony and Kevin offer us a friendly greeting seating us at our favourite table. Dinner is relaxed, not rushed featuring cocktails, special dishes and good wine. We particularly enjoy their grilled fish specials. Our waiter Kevin is excellent , knowing how to pace our drinks and meals to maximize our enjoyment of our friends and meals. We will be returning soon.

   It was our first time dining at this restaurant and we appreciated the food that was quite tasty and the service provided was excellent. However, we were offered a very tiny table for two near a corner window which was not to our standard since we could barely move our glass of water and glass of wine without being afraid to drop them on the floor. Therefore, we will not return at this so called fine dining restaurant.
