| - Michael's is located inside South Point casino and is an absolutely beautiful and opulent restaurant, making you forget where you are and taking you into the most lavish of environments. The service is impeccable. So why 3 stars?
...The prices are exorbitant as the quality of the food is average, not even close to fabulous. We ordered the salmon at $68.00 per plate: it was well done which is an absolute no no as per top chefs and tasted ok, far from the better salmon I have had at many restaurants on the Las Vegas strip at half the price. It came with a tomato on the plate and the salmon was about 6 oz. We ordered potato gratin as a side and it was good. What is likely part of this price is the large crackers and toasted bread along with butter and cruditees that are automatically brought before the meal ('complimentary') and the large basket of fruit and 'amuse bouche' that you get after the main course, regardless of whether you order dessert or not. The cruditees were nice and the 'amuse bouche' consisted mainly of chocolate covered fruit ( delicious). We did order a slice of black forest cake and a slice of strawberry short cake off the dessert cart and they were really good, more than can be said for the entree. We also ordered a couple of glasses of Pinot noir, $20.00 each. In the end, with tax and tip, the meal came out to about $150.00 per person (we did not order an appetizer and it's good we did not as we were really full).
I am very okay with expensive restaurants as long as the food makes a statement by being phenomenal! This was not the case. What I believe I payed for is a beautiful ambiance and complimentary cruditees and fresh fruit and chocolate covered fruit.
Maybe other entrees are better, yet the prices are very high so hopefully other choices are way better. I am a foodie, so I know great food, and this is not a restaurant that will offer the best in town... which is disappointing for the prices they charge.
