    Absolutely one of the most grueling "fine" dining experiences in a long time. Service was incredibly slow for the first hour, became overly apologetic as my look got more and more frustrated over the second hour. Could not wait to finish, pay and get out of there. French onion soup en croute and beef Wellington were both very doughy and bland pastry. Duck was supposedly amazing from another guest who had it. This is supposed to be among the finest dining in Honolulu NOT IT, in this case the king wears no clothes, is not at all special. Wanted to try the cherries jubilee but was afraid it would take another hour or more and we were already way over 2 hours for 2 courses. Sorry don't waste your time or money.

    Four years ago we ate at Michel’s and it was by far the best experience we had. Last night we expected the same and it was nothing but a let down. Really disappointed in how long it took us to get our meal. 2.5 hours of sitting to eat dinner without desert is not good. I think the quality of the food was ruined by my frustration of how long it was taking to get. Sorry to say I have recommended this place to ours in the past and will not be doing that anymore.

    Outstanding service, excellent food and beverage preparation and presentation. Fresh oysters, lobster flambé tableside for the signature bisque, duckling a l’orange, beef Wellington, and made-to-order chocolate soufflé. Magnificent and worth every penny.

    Overall, we had a good experience dining at Michel's. Enjoyed the lavash and the salmon hors'dourve before our bisque. The butter was different with red specs, perhaps some type of pepper, but had not much flavor. The water service was excellent. The tropical island salad my son had looked delicious. My escargots were very good but tasted a little different from others I've had. My son wasn't impressed with his salmon which he shared with his wife who enjoyed it very much. My other son really enjoyed the lamb chops. Our chocolate soufflé was traditional French which I enjoyed but others were't overly impressed with it. The waiter brought my daughter in law a special birthday dessert which was to die for. Whipped cream, lemon curd and white chocolate with a lady finger and a strawberry and a raspberry. The service was excellent and the ladies room was all pink and very French and cute with fresh orchids, towels for drying hands and an impressionist painting in a separate area for freshening-up etc. Mary Courtheyn Boise, Idaho Dec. 18, 2024

    The food was absolutely delicious. We did the tasting menu. Most of the dishes were created at the table which added to the experience. I personally did not care for the wine pairing, but I am glad we tried it. It was my first time with that type of a meal. We truly enjoyed it and would definitely go back. We did go for dinner, so the sun was already down, so it was hard to see the water. I could see this place being amazing for breakfast.

    We can always rely on delicious food and very good service at Michele’s. Large groups celebrating the holiday season made the noise level higher than usual, but that should be temporary. It’s definitely a budget splurge to dine here, but a very nice experience for a special occasion.
