    My tuna poke bowl was average. I have had much better at Tarks. Most Michael's food is very good but this was average. Our server, Alicia, was very attentive ! Overall, it was a good experience but my meal this time was average.
    Michael's CafeResponded today
    Thank you for giving us a nod about our food in general. Was there something specific about the dish that was lacking in your opinion? Thanks in advance for your time.

    Excellent dining experience. Our waitress Jade was wonderful and attentive. The hostess knew it was a birthday celebration and on our table there was a birthday card. Food was delicious and prepared perfectly. At the end, a slice of cheesecake with raspberry sauce was served as a birthday cake. Thank you Michaels!
    Michael's CafeResponded today
    We are lucky to have team members like Jade, just like we are lucky to have customers who choose us to celebrate their birthdays like yourself. Thank you so much for your review and for choosing us to celebrate your special day.

    Seasonal cheesecake was amazing! The restaurant was busy but we felt like our server abandoned us multiple times through the night. Dinner was delicious. Will come back

    We train our team to lend a helping hand to each other so that nobody feels abandoned. We are sorry that this training did not come into play when you were dining with us.

    Taylor is an amazing server. She was so attentive, and she was great with my daughter. I got the steak and cake, and I ordered my steak medium rare, and it was cooked to perfection. The crab cake was very tasty with little to no filler. My daughter ordered the mac and cheese, and she absolutely loved it. We will definitely be back!

    Chicken francaise was excellent. Crab cake platter was excellent. Old bay chicken wings were excellent. Lamb meatball and humus appetiser was dry. One diner ordered the rockfish platter, but instead was served the more expensive rockfish special (which was excellent). The waiter apologized for the mistake, but still charged the higher price, and never brought the vegetable side that came with. So we'll definitely come back, but maybe be a little more assertive if the order is wrong.
    Michael's CafeResponded today
    We train our servers and management team on how to correct these sorts of things when they come about. Sorry that this was allowed to happen. Thank you for the compliments on the food items that you enjoyed. Please let us know with an email to timonium@michaelscafe next time you plan to visit us and we will do what we can to make up for this mistake.
