Outstanding service and food. Six stars if possible. We get to this area once a year as we are from San Diego, and this was our second visit to Michael's. We happened in on a night that was restaurant week, so they had specials for that event, and in addition a wine dinner with the winery representative from Italy, who had just flown in. Our server Paul provided us an outstanding explanation of the menu, the specials, and the wine dinner. We opted for the wine dinner where the dishes were pared with an array of wines that were not only excellent, but very reasonable (and available for purchase). I must admit that when I read the paring, that I might not have selected one or two of the wines...
For the price, I expected lot more. Dishes in general are good, but wonât blow your mind, some are just fine. Didnât ask but got charged for tap water, per glass.... itâs one of those things that just doesnât make sense, it changes nothing in terms of the total bill, but in the end is annoying. I have to say that service is very good, from the hostess, to the server, to the helpers. Bottom line, I will probably try another Italian restaurant in the area next time
Great find! We live in the south bag and needed a place to meet friends who live in Orange County, so we picked Michaelâs based on reviews and it was better than we expectedâstaff friendly and knowledgeable, great ambiance, and excellent food.
Everything went perfect. Since the moment we arrived. The seating was as requested, the service flawless, the staff friendly and helpful and the food delicious. All I can say is congrats for being a great restaurant!

One of our best dining experiences ever. The service was perfect and the food was amazing. The combinations of flavors and presentations were superb.
Food was decent. Over priced. Forced into course meal on valentine's day, that was not worth the money. for people and left hungry.
when I walk in and the bar has Suze!!! and my meal was just as great as I remembered my last visit...highly recommend
Very good restaurant; a bit on the pricy side, but very good value for money.
