   The food here was amazing! We went on a Saturday afternoon when they were still serving brunch so I had the wonderful luck of getting the crab eggs Benny and it was phenomenal. The service is also very good. It’s a relatively large restaurant but the staff is so friendly that it makes you feel like you’re at a mom and pop type of place. As an aside, the kids menu is ridiculously good. Usually kids food menus are pretty bland but they had a pizza option that had a mix of fresh and regular mozzarella. It was so good! Great place overall. Highly recommend.

   Food is always very good. Sometimes it's a little too noisy for us. Service is excellent too. Outdoors is very nice come warmer weather.

   Great server & good food voices for our lunch. We sat in the old bar area .. just a bit noisy during a crowded Thursday Lunch.

   Thanks for choosing us as a place to meet up with old friends! It's nice when your server allows you to go at your own pace.

   Very diverse and lively crowd. The space was a bit of a surprise. The architecture and decor was unexpected given the outside of the restaurant. Very busy Saturday so our waitress was a little overwhelmed but her effort and personality were on point! I will definitely be back!

   Good food and good service. It was my husband birthday after the meal the waiter enlightened us with a a slice of cheese cake with a candle on top of it my husband was surprised and we enjoyed the experience everything was great.

   Good food. Booth for 6 was a tad cramped. Speed of food was OUTSTANDING. Server was good, but seemed slightly impatient. Ambience was a bit confusing with what seemed to be two different restaurants stuck together. Overall it was excellent. It was my first and I’d return for the wings & crème brûlée.
   

   Michael's CafeResponded on March 3, 2025

   Wings followed by crème brûlée sounds like a pro move. Thank you for leaving us a review. Sorry that the booth was a little tight. Please come back and see us again sometime!

    As we were there to celebrate my stepdads 80th birthday, accommodation did change and I was thankful the team was able to make the adjustment. However our waitress was polite but extremely overwhelmed and the lack of attention/presence was not there at all. At one point my stepfather decided to go to the inside bar to get his own drink. We waited over 30mins for water. The young lady took some food/drink orders but not all parties were able to place their orders. Again I do believe she was just very overwhelmed. This was the second time sitting in the outside area and it seemed very understaffed. Not the best experience specifically for his birthday celebration.

    Glad to know that our team was able to accommodate your change in plans, but we deeply regret the issues you encountered with our service. Clearly, your server was overwhelmed, and we apologize for the lack of attention and presence you experienced. We understand how frustrating it must have been to wait for water and for some of your party to be unable to place their orders. Your feedback is valuable to us, and we are taking immediate steps to address the staffing issues in our outdoor area to ensure that such situations do not occur in the future. We hope you will give us another opportunity to serve you and provide the exceptional experience you deserve. Please feel free to contact us directly via email at timonium@michaelscafe.
