   I've been eating at Michael's regularly for over a decade. The food is consistently excellent--creative and inspired. It is one of the few places in Miami where you can reliably get good service. Finally, outdoors is quiet--meaning you can have a conversation without straining to hear. I'm not even sure they play background music. Michael's is a gem! Prices, however, have gone up quite dramatically in the last 2 or so yrs. But they're inflated everywhere around town. In short, meal is not cheap, but you will enjoy yourself very much.

   Despite the "high season" crowd, everything went very smoothly with great service from the waiter.

   Very good food and service is good. We were not rushed despite the fact that it was very busy. Don’t miss the tuna crudo. The valet in front is the only problem. We waited in line for at least 10 minutes before he told us they were full. Did not direct us where we could park but we finally found a spot in a garage. Give yourself time because Michael’s is worth it.

   I took family to Michael’s one last time this year, and was dreaming with the Raviolo I saw in one of their posts on instagram. Well, that day there was no Raviolo on the menu, it was replaced by ‘Caccio & Pepe’ pasta. I ordered it, but it was not the Italian recipe. The home made pasta was excellent, but it tasted black pepper and parsley, there was a raw egg yolk on top and zero pecorino cheese. And was served cold.

   Word to the wise: Secure a reservation before arriving. This place gets packed during the holiday season.

    Michael's is so overpriced for what you get. The food is a B- at best. 7 people, and not one person thought the food was very good. Even at half the price it would not have been worth it. $98 24 oz Ribeye was not above 14 oz, and 4 oz were fat. Flavor of each dish was very average. It's one of those places that can charge a lot based on hype and location, but they don't try very hard to impress. I've eaten at overpriced places before, but at least the food and presentation is excellent. This is overpriced and less than average food. I've had better meals from a typical place on Uber Eats to be honest. I did eat here maybe 8 years ago and it was excellent then. Don't waste your $.
