MICHAEL'S

Michael’s used to be such a great resturant. I used to
come to
michaels for so many wine tasting dinners. Honestly it is not the same anymore. Lots bad attitude on part of the staff. In a town with so many Michelin Stars Michaels is only a has been resturant. I will never go back!

Happy hour is hopping. You need a rez for best experience but heated front porch was lovely.

We went to Michael’s for the Valentines dinner, and I can honestly say it was the worst meal and service I’ve ever had. I never write reviews, but I am so disappointed by how much we spent ($350+) for the quality of the food and service. After sitting down, it took 40 minutes to get our first drinks, which were only beers on tap. We didn’t get our first appetizer until 1.5hrs after sitting - I was starving, it was 8:15pm by that point. The duck confit was cold and dry, really just not good. We got our dinner about 2/2.5hrs later, and the food again was only fair. We had prepaid for dessert, but we had been there over 3hrs and finally just asked for the dessert to go. Nothing was comped, they didn’t reduce our bill or bring us any extra drinks/snacks - they just kept saying “sorry we’re backed up.” Just really annoying how much we paid for this kind of food and service. Don’t recommend and will not return :(

Very nice restaurant in the 3rd street in Santa Monica. Nice area outside with great atmosphere. The beef with fries was delicious with sauce au poivre and delicious fries. Very decent prices as well for the quality of the food. Nice and friendly staff. Only downturn was the short wine list wine a bit overpriced bottles considering the quality.

Classic restaurant with slightly dated ambiance and great food
