    Great going back there! Maitre D is a true gentleman. Food is tops! Service is professional. They didn’t know how to make a spicy margarita? It’s been around a long time. The sever was very busy, extremely busy. Did feel a bit like an assembly line-Did feel Rushed but food and long standing reputation was fulfilled.

    We ordered the chicken Proto, a couple of seafood dishes, Di Mare and Di Vitello, a beef steak dish and some appetizers. The food were delicious as always and our server Joseph was excellent. He was very attentive and professional. It was an excellent evening for us and our out of town guests.

    An out of town house guest wanted to take us to dinner at a “really nice “ local restaurant. We selected Michael’s Back Door and as usual, it did not disappoint. From appetizers to dessert, everything was delicious and served beautifully. I won’t bother naming individual dishes because everything at this restaurant is of the same high quality. The service is attentive and friendly and the surroundings are lovely and quiet. It just keeps getting better and better. We will be back.

    Michael’s Back Door never disappoints. Fantastic food and service. Our dishes came out piping hot and were delicious. My friend and I closed the restaurant down and never once felt rushed to leave. Sean ( forgive me if I have spelled your name incorrectly) was fantastic as always with his recommendations and top notch service. If you’re ever looking for a consistent restaurant this is the one.

    I always enjoy dinner at Michael's Back Door. This was my first time back since the COVID-19 pandemic and it's nice to see it's still got the great ambiance, attentive service and delicious food. I love how there are a number of eating "spaces" so that it's not one big noisy eating hall. There are a number of daily specials in addition to the menu and there's an extensive selection of wines. Probably one of the best cheesecakes I've ever eaten!
