Has the gravalax Benedict for breakfast. Good portion but the hollandaise sauce was a touch too tangy.

Food is ok, not spectacular as I had expected from previous reviews. The tomato was very good, but the rest was not very tasty. Service was great, the waiter’s was very attentive. The chair was badly worn and is in need of some tlc. It was not very busy when I was there.

Exceeded already high expectations. Excellent service, food and ambience. The only small issue is that it gets pretty loud when people start to arrive, but definitely not a deal breaker. Michael came around to our table, welcomed us and really made the entire experience that much more personal and special. He even interrupted his lunch to thank us on the way out. I will definitely be back. Thank you for a wonderful lunch, Michael.

Amazing Dinner last night at Michael's. Nantucket Bay mini scallops - a menu special recommended by our waiter - were unlike any scallops I had ever experienced. They were extremely tender and flavorful and are not often available. We also had the Branzino which had a wonderful smokey flavor with roasted capers. Service was, as usual, very attentive. Some complain about the prices, but I find it a much better value than so-so food at high NY prices - well worth the money and the visit. Also recommend the Califlower chowder.

Ugh. Dated. Old. Over priced. Horrible service. Go if you like to beg for bread and water and if you feel like fighting to keep your plate from being taken from you while you're still chewing. And did I mention that it's waste of money? Run the other way.

Big fan of Michael's. Worked in the area for several years and had great business lunches a few times a year. Because I lived in a different part of the city, I never thought to try it for dinner. Recently, I was looking for a classic NYC fine dining restaurant in midtown good for families with kids for a family birthday celebration. A friend suggested we try Michael's and they delivered! The lovely hostess made it magical for our kids upon entry, we were treated with the table in the window, the food was fresh and tasty and the kids loved it! There is not a kids menu but they will do kids pasta, simple burger, steak, chicken, etc. One of our kids - the pickiest eater - ordered a butter pasta and said it was the best they ever had. We all tried it and agreed, had to order another!There is a pretty limited wine selection but all were very good. Beer selection could be improved. The classic room has been the setting for many business deals and I have fond memories of a few, enhanced by our recent family experience. Love the laid-back but first-class vibe and unpretentious service. Highly recommend!Vegetarian options: A few tasty options.

Very disappointed with the management at Michael's. My daughter and her boyfriend were celebrating their anniversary and heard wonderful things about this restaurant. They however did not share in this experience. Before they were even seated they were asked if they wanted still or carbonated water. Not knowing they had an option to say "no", they elected still not realizing they would be charged $16 for a bottle of basic tap water. They each ordered a Diet Coke for $8 each and were provided a refill without realizing that they would be charged an additional $8 each for the refills they did not request. So, before they took a bite of food they were out $48. That is crazy. When the manager came over, he simply replied that "This is Manhattan. People with money wouldn't question a refill charge nor be concerned with a $16 bottle of tap water. " This man knows nothing about the financial status of this young couple and it is totally irrelevant. This is just an example of taking advantage of a young couple trying to celebrate their anniversary. this manager obviously has no etiquette or class as far as I am concerned. I would recommend going elsewhere unless you have money to burn.
