    One of our favorite restaurants. Excellent service, thank you Randy! This visit we tried the special Veal Osso Buco as we've never had it before. We didn't find it enjoyable with some chewy/fatty contents. This is probably normal for the dish however it didn't fit us. We will stick with our favorite dishes like their salmon, rib eye, salads, and sushi etc. Chocolate cake is wonderful

    Steaks were fantastic, as were the French fries and mac and cheese. My husband got the asparagus as a side and it was burnt with hardly any seasoning or sauce to help flavor. Had Oreo stuffed donuts for dessert and they were top notch too. Would definitely come back but skip the asparagus.

    We love Michael's and you can't go wrong with anything you order. We requested Randy and our favorite table and we got them both! Sushi menu is awesome, mac and cheese, rib eye, truffle fries, etc were great. Chocolate cake finished the meal! Highly recommend you dine here.
