    Excellent service, excellent food. A bit pricy but I got the special Chilean sea bass anyway. I’d get it again.

    Me and my partner had a great experience when we came for Valentine’s Day. The food was delicious and extremely filling. We got the calamari, NY strip, and shrimp and scallop scampi. At the end of dinner, they gave me a rose. We would definitely come back again.

    Accommodated us with a nice table. Irks me how restaurants reduce the menu options and raise prices for a special Valentine menu. Wait staff tried to rush us to turn table. Rockfish was awesome, shrimp and grits were very good.

    We took my mother-in-law there to celebrate her birthday. She loved the cream of crab and the crab cake. The food and service was great as usual.

    I frequently have lunches at Michaels. Over the years they have never been anything but excellent. Today our food was excellent, and our server was equally excellent. I always see the owners at the restaurant and they are always busy keeping everything running smoothly. Great lunch Thanks Curt
