    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!

    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

    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.

    We were warmly greeting as soon as we walked in the door for our 12:30 reservation and seated in a comfortable and roomy booth. Mark was our server today and he could not have been more accommodating to us, with a very genuine personality while making good recommendations from the menu. We had a great afternoon.

    We are so glad that Mark and our staff members were able to give you such a good experience. We hope it gave you a good easy-going start to your holiday season. Come back and see us sometime soon!
