    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.

    We try to offer some variety and quality for our younger guests on our children's menu. Thank you for such a lovely review, we like to give that personal level of service so it makes us proud when it is appreciated. It's nice to feel noticed!

    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.

    Thanks for your review. Sometimes it's a little noisy for us too, that's why we have spent time working with a company that specializes in sound mitigation. We hope to serve you on our outdoor patio as the weather keeps getting nicer.

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

    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!

    We're so glad that you had such a nice time when you came to dine with us. Sometimes, having a satisfying meal in a bustling environment offers a unique experience. Thanks for leaving us a review!

    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!
