Had not been to Michael’s Back Door for many years but was just as excellent as we remembered! Nice quiet dinner with another couple and we were met by the owner upon arrival and looked after by Kevin who took great care of us. Compliments to the wonderful kitchen team…all of our dinners were very good. Won’t be as long before we go back!! Highly recommend.

The staff were exceptional, they took the time to explain in detail the specials, and my party asked for certain changes to a few dishes due to allergies, again the staff accommodate. The food is truly fantastic and not over priced. Excellent restaurant, and we wil be going back very soon

The specialty drinks were very tasty, the broccoli soup, and our main courses were excellent. The atmosphere was quiet and relaxed, just how we like it. We try to visit at least a couple of times a year. It's always a treat to come here.
