    We absolutely loved our experience here! The food was amazing. Our favorites were the crab & avocado and the octopus appetizers. We would absolutely recommend trying both of these! Our waitress was also great! She was so helpful and friendly. We cannot wait to come back.

    Our server must of have had too many tables. We did not receive the exceptional service that we have experienced in the past. The food as always was exceptional, worth every penny spent on the marvelous steak. The piano music was so loud that we could not have conversation at the table. I realize that it is Christmas party season so that accounts for a bit of noise in the restaurant. We will be back again after the holiday season when we know that service will be back to the exceptional standard of Micheals on East

    The crab cakes were packed with crab and the sauce that’s accompanied was tasty. Wedge salad was fresh, filets were cooked exactly as ordered ( med & med well) so tender and melt in your mouth texture. Dessert was a beautifully presented carrot cake which was so moist but not so much it fell apart. Just the right amount of cinnamon and nutmeg. Alex our waiter was friendly, attentive and made this Birthday dinner one of the best!
