    Thank you Christian for such a wonderful dinner experience on our anniversary vacation at Anton & Michel. You were an excellent Maitre D’ Hotel just like our old friend Luiz of past years! David was a very friendly and professional server! The french onion soup was made to perfection and the short rib dish was one of the best I have ever had! To round off the evening, David prepared one of the best cherries jubilee ever! Thanks again for a memorable 5 star dining experience!

    Accommodated for gluten-free with many of the items on the menu. Food perfectly cooked -- halibut was delicous. A little expensive, but the view FAR outweighs the extra cost -- it was fabulous! Service was nice, attentive.

    The hostess was abrupt and not very friendly but everything else was perfect. Our waitress was fun, offered great selections, and provided excellent service. The atmosphere is wonderful. It has a real, subtle Italian feel in an old home. The food is amazing. I had the cannelloni. It was perfect size and perfectly cooked. The bread with the tapenade is a must. My friends’ meals were excellent too. Love this place.
