   Michaels is always good, but not always, great. I ordered the lobster boil, my lobster was small and not cracked at all. Even in Maine, they do some preliminary work for you! My wife's pasta was just OK.

   Everything we ate was amazing and so flavorful! The service was outstanding we didn't go a second without needing a refill of a drink or a new dish to munch on. I loved the ambiance and outdoor space and especially loved that I could enjoy such a nice dinner with my family and puppy. I have always heard great things about this place but never got around to trying it! So glad I finally had the chance to taste what felt like most of the menu!

   Great service. Swordfish was awesome. Steak was a little tough.

   MGFD is still a must in Miami. Unfortunately, the stocky, curly hair lady that doubles as the host, lacks the skills to represent such an institution. She kind of ruins everybody's experience with her poor manners. Very sad. Food is super good though

   My husband and I had a dinner reservation. Our table was ready upon arrival and the staff was welcoming. Our server Zeke was a wonderful host and Ray the Sommelier was very accommodating. The food was amazing & the ambiance was vibrant. We look forward to coming back soon!

   We’ve been to the restaurant many times and this was by far the worst experience there. First, they changed the way they serve martinis, so no side ice. Fine, we can ask for it. Then 1 person didn’t want the Spice menu, but they wouldn’t let her order off the regular menu because it would screw up the timing. Even though she wanted the same number of courses and would have paid more overall. I had the wood fired feta and they didn’t serve the pita. When I asked for it the sever said it didn’t come with it, but she could order it for me. I’m not sure if they expected for me to eat a brick of feta alone! Of course she changed me for the pita until I showed her that the menu said it comes with it. It was only $3, but indicative of the service overall. Speaking of timing, our apps were cleared before we were done. My entree of cobia and shrimp was over cooked and tough, which is a feat considering it was in broth. The peach dessert was ok, except for the peaches that were flavorless. The ice cream was good. The chocolate flan was good. I know Michael’s can do better and it was a shame that this was the first experience for the friend we took. I suggest staying away from the Spice menu and stick to lunch where there seems to be more seasoned wait staff.

   We had an awful experience - the red snapper was dangerously not fresh (smell and acidic on the tongue) and the octopus was spongy. We informed the manager, who asked us to keep calm, but this should be taken very seriously. It is unethical to serve food that is not fresh. We remain shocked by this experience.

    Food was mediocre at best. Portions were exceedingly small, unattractive and nonetheless, expensive. $27 for three pieces of Hamachi crudo; bread is $8; one piece of octopus served on a saucer is $28; salad is $17 and too small to share. Chicken was dry. Waiter was very nice but not attentive.

    Hostess seemed like she was in bad mood and did not greet us. When we arrived she just looked up at us and didn’t say a word. We asked if we could be seated outside and she just said “no”. Even though there were more than a handful of tables available and they never got occupied the entire time we were there. It was very loud inside but our waiter was nice and food was good.

    This is my second time here and this was not good. I only came because I enjoyed my first experience. It was a Monday and you would think it was a Saturday or Sunday brunch. Our waiter kept reminding us how he was not our server and he was just helping out. Which made me uncomfortable and ready for miscommunication which happened at the end as we were walking out and told we did not pay for our drinks which were ordered with someone else smh idk our server smh. Anywho thrill is gone. Probably won’t be back. Sucks food is pretty good but today was pretty bad.

    We were there for brunch, and everything went super smooth from getting the table to ordering and getting the food. Food was exquisite, i had the eggs benedict and my husband had the short rib hash. Both were very tasty and the portions were good. This place never disappoints!

    Amazing experience. Comfy indoor seating next to my husband. Watermelon salad was like nothing I have ever had with bean sprouts for crunch and cilantro for a green fresh taste. The beets made me want to learn how to prepare beets. The grilled octopus was tender and had a scrumptious sauce. The grouper was tender but crunchy. Service was excellent with a new waiter who had been there two months. We had been here 3 years ago on vacation and had to come back. They’ve expanded without losing anything. Great job guys!!!!

    Excellent food, service, ambience, and wine list. One of the few places that actually seats tables after 10PM in Miami since COVID. They’re constantly tweaking the menu and adding new and innovative dishes.

    We’ve been to Michael’s many times before their renovation and it seems that their prices went up considerably. Also the menu changed a bit. Overall we still liked it but we thought that it was too expensive for what we ate. It was almost double what we used to pay before renovations.

    Extremely expensive. And on top of the 20% gratuity that’s included they add another 2% for a charity the restaurant supports. I think it’s awesome if they want to support a charity but why are they making the customers pay for it…who then is really supporting it!! And our server was very rude; very impatient as if she wanted us to leave to make room for the next customers but the place was half empty…plenty of tables available. Will not be back and do not recommend.
