| - I went to Michaels with my fiance for our anniversary dinner. I am in the Clarkson area quite a bit, but have never been inside the restaurant. Our waiter (can't remember his name), was friendly, explained our questions wonderfully and service was great.
I am a food allergy sufferer, and for anyone who has a food allergy, sometimes eating out is difficult and embarrasing (for me anyways). I find that restaurants become afraid of an allergic person, but perhaps if they were confident in their kitchen and knew their ingredients... maybe this wouldn't be the case. At Michael's back door, not only did they already know that I had an allergy (they actually read the reservation), but the waiter was confident and reassuring that I could order whatever I wanted (obviously without the allergen in it) and would be fine. Not one time did they make it seem like an issue or an inconvenience. This is obviously an important topic for me.
The portions were bigger than we expected, yes they are a little higher price than others...but I'm not sure what people think when they see a casual fine dining restaurant/piano room? There are plenty of lower cost restaurants around to choose from. We both had veal, I had salad, my fiance had soup and we both had dessert, all delicious. The other thing I wanted to mention is that it is a small place, and they did have a larger party beside us... oddly you don't notice this while you're eating... perhaps its the atmosphere of the restaurant its not loud.
Because of the service, the way we were treated and of course the food, we will be back to celebrate.
