We started with crab bisque soup and steak egg rolls, both were excellent. Our dinners were yellow tail snapper and duck breast, again both outstanding. The setting was mostly quiet and intimate, service was very good. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and would certainly return here on my next trip to Tampa.

Just WOW. I’ve been to Michaels many times day and evening and it was OK. Today three of us had dinner there and it was just WOWSA. One had salmon, one sea bass and one duck breast. She crab bisque appetizer and shared tortilla and fish dip but the FOODGASM came with to sticky toffee desert. JUST SPECTACULAR.

Six of us getting together and all loved their choices which included 2 Chicken dishes, a Tuna dish and 3 Pork specialties. All were delicious! A Cosmo and Special “Strawberry Martini” were excellent. Good choices in wine. No dessert or Apps for this group. All loved the evening as a whole and decided we would come back again.

Our party of 3 dined for a birthday celebration. Our reserved table was waiting for us.. One of our servers greeted us immediately and took our drink orders. The menu has many options that would please anyone’s taste. We ordered 2 appetizers, zucchini and fish spread. Each was delicious and arrived quickly. We had a glass of wine and a white sangria which was a large yummy glass of pineapple and coconut. Our entrees arrived in a timely manner. 2 orders of the macadamia nut crusted snapper and grouper bowl. Each was accompanied by a rice vegetable mix. Excellent seasoning and portion size was ample. Enjoyed the fish very much! No dessert ordered but did recognize our birthday with a brownie, nicely done Michael! Always enjoy our visits here.
