    Always the best at Chez Georges. George always cooks up flavorful seafood. My favorite is the Bouillabaisse - freshest of fish and a variety of shellfish - so good. The cocktails and wine are a step ahead - Eric at the bar is one knowledgeable guy. AGN (another good night)! Lou L.

    Great new menu item, nice in Winter, marinated London Broil, medium rare, sliced on the bias. Incredibly tasty, beautiful with a glass of Pinot Noir or a rustic Super Tuscan. Of course the new Lobster Carbonara cannot be avoided. A choice conundrum to say the least. Chef Scottie has outdone himself!

    Michael Anthony’s is the penultimate culinary experience! We first enjoyed our blessed times here in this amazing restaurant when we lived in HHI from 2004-2008. Our favorite then and now, again during this current visit. Wait staff: highly customer-focused, present, courteous, knowledgeable, helpful, and very capable, able to take high-level care even during busy moments. Manager checked in on us and ensured that our expectations were being wildly exceeded! Chef: scrumptious butternut squash soup with sausage was light, exquisite, and unforgettably delicious! My wife’s go-to favorite in all restaurants - the evening recipe salmon, stood out, cooked to her exact requirements & was her all-time favorite. My lasagna was extraordinary. Our evening here is now entered into our all-time hall of fame! Ron MacV (843)290-3670
