service and food were both excellent as expected . As a popular restaurant the tables were full so the resulting energetic noise was expected and frankly good to hear after the quiet of COVID . Cheers

Great going back there! Maitre D is a true gentleman. Food is tops! Service is professional. They didn’t know how to make a spicy margarita? It’s been around a long time. The sever was very busy, extremely busy. Did feel a bit like an assembly line-Did feel Rushed but food and long standing reputation was fulfilled. He messed up my order and my guest ate it anyways. He needs to calm Down and not be so hyper it’s a fine restaurant not Tim Hortons

We ordered the chicken Proto, a couple of seafood dishes, Di Mare and Di Vitello, a beef steak dish and some appetizers. The food were delicious as always and our server Joseph was excellent. He was very attentive and professional. It was an excellent evening for us and our out of town guests.

An out of town house guest wanted to take us to dinner at a “really nice “ local restaurant. We selected Michael’s Back Door and as usual, it did not disappoint. From appetizers to dessert, everything was delicious and served beautifully. I won’t bother naming individual dishes because everything at this restaurant is of the same high quality. The service is attentive and friendly and the surroundings are lovely and quiet. It just keeps getting better and better. We will be back.

Michael’s Back Door never disappoints. Fantastic food and service. Our dishes came out piping hot and were delicious. My friend and I closed the restaurant down and never once felt rushed to leave. Sean ( forgive me if I have spelled your name incorrectly) was fantastic as always with his recommendations and top notch service. If you’re ever looking for a consistent restaurant this is the one.
