| - My experience at Michael's was truly fabulous. So wonderful that I have no other choice than to give it 5 stars. I read some of the reviews that were less than 5 stars because I was curious as to what could make anyone think poorly of this place. Most of the complaints were about the pricing, which in no way affects my review. I was with a large party (9 guests). I didn't pay the bill and this place is so old school that ladies are given menus with no prices. How much fun is that? As a truly thrifty and informed consumer, had I been aware of the price of anything I may have made different dining decisions and/or had a different experience. Having said that...
Wow! I don't know if I have received better service anywhere, ever. My water glass was never less than half full throughout the entire meal. They were prompt, courteous and made sure everything was perfect for our party.
I ate the sea bass and the salmon (split with another guest) and both were phenomenal. They were both plated pretty much the same way including a whole tomato topped with a breadcrumb mixture and a decorative lemon. The only difference being the toppings. The sea bass was topped with an abundance of fresh leeks and a little dill in a butter sauce and the salmon was topped with marinated cucumbers. The sea bass was buttery and I thought it might melt on my tongue. The salmon was moist and flavorful, a winning combination.
The only things I tried that were a bit mediocre were the green beans and William J's Salad. The "Imported French Beans, Almondine" were just waxy green beans with some chopped almonds sprinkled on top. Opt instead for the asparagus, baby carrots or creamed corn. All of which I would order again. The salad was underwhelming at best. The portion was large enough to share but I would skip it all together. It was mostly lettuce and slightly bland. Opt instead for the Cream of Fresh Tomatoes Soup which was one of the best I have ever tried.
I tried every dessert. Yep, every single one. The best was the Peach Melba and it was wonderful. I had to pass it on, as we all sampled a bite of everything. But if I could've kept just one in front of me, it would have been the peach melba hands down. The Cherries Jubilee, Key Lime and Cheese Cake were all better than the Bananas Foster. And the Bananas Foster was pretty freakin' good if that gives you any indication of how yummy my night was.
