    Waited too long for service at out table. Food was mediocre at best. Not worth the money. Will not be going back anytime in the near future.

    Excellent food. I got the Chilean sea bass with scallops and crab risotto, wife got the rack of lamb. Both specials at about $12 off. I’d never pay the regular price. Very fresh and not salty! I can’t stand over salted food and I no longer hesitate to send it back. Service was outstanding - Mark, I think. Thought of everything. Timing was spot on. Told us to place the salt shaker at the corner when we were ready for the meal. Complimentary slice of pie brought after dinner.

    Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are so glad Mark was able to make it happen for you. We are lucky to have customers like you and servers like Mark.

    Had a very pleasant lunch out today with family. We each thoroughly enjoyed our meals and experienced outstanding service from our server, Tommy, who made our time at Michael’s unforgettable. His attention and kind approach complemented the meal and made us feel like valued guests!
    Michael's CafeResponded 5 days ago
    It's nice to feel valued not just as a guest or customer but as a person too. Tommy and the rest of our servers do right by us by always making their tables feel welcome and at home. It's hard for a meal to not be enjoyable when the service is good. Luckily for us we feel as though our food is pretty good too. Thank you for your review!

    The food was great. I had one of the best burgers I have had in a while, service was great
    Michael's CafeResponded 5 days ago
    We are very proud of the burger just like we are proud of our whole menu. The burger is a blend of short rib and brisket ground together. Thank you for sharing your experience. Great service brings the whole thing together.

    Michael’s Cafe did not disappoint! Food was delicious; Anastasia our server was delightful and very attentive; and great for groups. Celebrated 30 plus friendships among friends. Could not have selected a better place.
