We had a FANTASTIC time celebrating our anniversary! I am a life long horror fan, but my husband is not. He still enjoyed his time, but not as much as I did! The server was great, friendly, and knowledgeable! The atmosphere was awesome! Decorations were perfect!

Michelson and Morley is the one sure restaurant to go all the time. I have NEVER had a bad experince there and I am always happy / impressed / beyond satisfied each time I go. When I want to imprees a friend, I take them to Michelson and Morley's. When I want to celebrate colleagues, I take them to Michelson and Morley's. If I want to uplift someone, I always take them to Michelson and Morley's. The new garden table is a personal hit and a Wonderland for me. No matter the theme of the week, I am fully sated and cheered by the look and taste of the table's components. In a word: "ILOVEMICHELSON&MORLEY's!"

Great food, wonderful location, chef works to accommodate dietary restrictions and intolerances by providing delicious alternatives. Shannon our server was a 10 out of 10! We've been going there for over 30 years due to the location by Cleveland clinic, however the service from Shannon was phenomenal and he listen and understood are dietary needs and communicate well with chef so that we've had a meal not only great for being by a hospital, but just being wonderful at a restaurant in general. Note, Shannon has been there 22 years and provides extraordinary service. *Realize that the menu posted online is not the current menu. Either call ahead or just be flexible when you get there as the menu will differ. The food is all delicious, with varieties of protein including fish, chicken, beef, and vegetarian. All the food we had was flavorful and beautifully presented. The environment is quiet and pleasant with discrete lighting but still easy to see. There is plenty of room between the tables for easy navigation of wheelchairs. The seating is very comfortable and they decor is lovely. This is being written in 2026 and in celebration of the intercontinentals 80th anniversary, there are seasonal changes to the menu to reflect global tastes. However, there remains standard American fare so you're sure to find something to enjoy. The desserts are very good. The sorbet seem to be Haagen-Dazs. When we were there it was lemon and raspberry which were lovely served with fresh berries. We asked if we could have some lemon curd put on top which they had that made it an even more wonderful dessert, very refreshing. We would recommend table 45.

Enjoyed the restaurant. The waitress V was attentive and responsive. Enjoyed the service. We had the steak special on Thursday and it was not bad. It came with broccolini, a potato and an old fashioned. The price was pretty inexpensive and certainly worth the value. The environment was energetic and active and clearly everyone in the restaurant was having a good time. The catfish nuggets were really good appetizers. I’m looking forward to returning.
