                                                        Great meal. The dishes were all rather classic, but so well executed that who cares about innovation: oysters Rockefeller, wedge salad, duck breast and confit with white beans. The service was attentive without being intrusive. Excellent wine list.

                                                        We had a great Valentine meal at Anton et Michel. They had planned well for a busy night with plenty of staff, and did not over book. We received a friendly greeting and were promptly taken to our table. There are various dining spaces, all are modern and inviting. Marco provided friendly and prompt service. Since my spouse doesn’t drink, I appreciated that they had a nice selection of half bottles, including several sparkling wines. My husband had the filet mignon, which he found an excellent quality and cooked a perfect medium rare. He would have liked a bit more sauce, so he will ask for extra next time we visit. I had the seafood fricassé, which included scallops, shrimp and smoked salmon ravioli in a decadent cream sauce. We ordered cherries jubilee table side for dessert. The presentation was lovely with an abundance of cherries. The perfect ending to a delightful meal. Highly recommend!

                                                        Restaurant is very overpriced for the level of food and service. Service and food were equally terrible. Staff was nice but took 15 min to get us started from the time we were seated. The bread and risotto were cooked well and flavorful. Salmon was overcooked and flavorless. Requested medium rare steak - it was delivered medium and flavorless.

                                                        Marco was great, shared plans for a speakeasy bar expansion in the works, something to look forward to hopefully by this summer! The rack of lamb was divine. Always a good time. Will be back again for sure.

                                                        Our server was tired and not very welcoming. Food was good but the service was below average.

                                                        We had a lovely Birthday dinner for two in the room with the fireplace. Our food was delicious, started with the French onion soup and crab cake. Mains were risotto with scallops and fillet mignon, both were very good. Our server was very sweet and conscientious. My only suggestion would be to not be so overly attentive, might sound strange but between the server and busboy there were too many interruptions as we just wanted to enjoy a nice and quiet dinner. Will definitely go back.
