Oysters (amazing) Beef Wellington (also amazing)  This chocolate tort was also next level.
Chris S.

This is a mixed review. First the service. If you go this restaurant ask to be seated in Mehgan's section. She was wonderful, informative and excellent in any way you would ask a server to be.. simply the best we can remember. The food - mixed. The oysters were amazing, fresh and tasty, The wine (recommended by Meghan, was also very good) My entree the special beef wellington was excellent and I typically do not order this type of meal preparation. My wife had swordfish and it was simply not that good, for whatever reason it came out bland and just disappointing - especially when compared to everything else we enjoyed. The dessert was also delicious. To summarize, every place has an occasional miss. The swordfish here was that miss. We will give Michael's a try when we visit again.

A whole cooked fish, garnished with fresh herbs and sliced vegetables, is presented on a white oval plate. The fish appears to be seasoned and cooked, with herbs like cilantro and mint on top. The plate is set on a wooden table with drinks and additional dishes visible in the background, indicating a dining setting.

Went to the new location for Michael's and we were very pleased. We were greeted very warmly at the hostess stand and shown to our table. To our surprise we we given a complimentary glass of sparkling wine as we cleaned our hands with the warm towels. They had a number of specials so for a starter we went with the monchango cheese and caviar. Both were delicious and left us wanting more. I ordered steak for my meal and my husband ordered the branzino. Both delicious and filling. We decided to order Tawny wine for dessert. We each tried a different one and both loved the pours we got. Definitely will be back. They have such beautiful paintings on the walls adding to the charm of the restaurant. It's a very warm and inviting space.

Bread plate with miso furikake butter - fabulous

We had a delicious meal last night celebrating our 51st anniversary. They greeted us with a "Happy Anniversary". As we were seated our waiter, Ryan, came by to acquaint us with the menu. A few minutes later he came by with a complimentary glass of champagne. We then placed our orders. My husband had a special starter for the evening of smoked salmon tartines - absolutely delicious. I had a beet salad which had a large amount of beets and was great. For our mains, I had the steak Diane and my husband had a 16 oz ribeye which was cooked to perfection. While my steak Diane was very good, they didn't cook it table side and flambé it prior to serving it to me (which I've had done other places). Next time I'll order the filet mignon. Both were accompanied by mashed potatoes. There was wonderful music playing when we first arrived and at 6 pm the pianist played some great music on the grand piano. It made the evening enjoyable. Ryan was very attentive to our needs throughout dinner. It was a wonderful experience, food was delicious, nice atmosphere in the restaurant and they have valet parking. We will definitely be back.

Steak Hanger and fries

10/10!! The food is amazing and the service is out of this world. It's a great quiet date night spot. A little pricey, but so worth it.

Bread Plate - The image shows a wooden table set with a black menu, a small glass vase with a pink rose and green foliage, a menu, a glass of iced drink, and a wooden tray holding two breadsticks wrapped in white paper with sprigs of rosemary and a small dish of butter garnished with herbs. The background includes a pink chair and part of the restaurant interior, indicating a dining setting.

Absolutely amazing!! One of the BEST Meals I have ever eaten! I had the Bread Plate (phenomenal warm local sourdough bread with miso furikake butter) and the Petite Filet Diane (perfectly prepared to the temperature I requested) along with Fresh Brewed Iced Tea. My server, David, was wonderful too! Plus, there was an excellent pianist playing while I was enjoying my dinner. I will be back when I am in the area.

Kaluga Caviar ($115)
Stacy L.

This place is absolutely delish! Their decor has been upscaled and it looks beautiful, great place for a dinner date for sure! Food was cooked to perfection, I had the Scottish Salmon NomNomm! Would definitely get again! The roasted carrots (side dish) were also delish! Unfortunately to me the Kaluga Hybrid Caviar ($115) wasn't worth it.. it came with tater tots which drowned out the mild caviar flavor. I really enjoyed this place and can't wait to go back! *Be sure to make reservations online in advance!!

Michael's St. Augustine, 25 Cuna St. Saint Augustine. Night of lights or visit to historic Saint Augustine is not complete without a date night at Michael's of St. Augustine. It's a fairy tale for your tastebuds, a real culinary experience. Burst of flavors in every item evident of chef Michael's passion to create exceptional exquisite dishes. All spices are locally sourced. The steak and mushrooms were devine and mushrooms are locally sourced from a farm who has been cultivating it for over 30 years. All the spices are either blended in house or sourced from local speciality. The food was a sensory delight for me, at every bite my taste buds thanked me. The flavors were a symphony, perfectly balanced, Quality ingredients make all the difference! The service from the moment we entered the door was amazing. Our server Kelly was incredible and the kindest. The service quality, the food and the atmosphere of this restaurant were everything you could ever ask for! We tried the chef's Experience: 1. Beef Tartare, Potato Pave, Creme Fraiche, Hackleback Caviar 2. Goat Cheese Pearls, Cucumber Ribbons, Smoked Tomatoes, Peppadews, Castelvetrano Olives, Sweety Drops, Arugula, Sherry Balsamic Vinaigrette 3. Bread & Butter Trio (garlic herb, truffle shallot, tomato datil) 4. Chilean Sea Bass, Cedar Key Clams, Local Mushrooms, Asparagus Tips, Tomato Nage 5. Strawberry Mint Sorbet (palate cleanser) 6. Wet Aged Filet, Mushroom Soubise, Local Mushrooms, Shaved Black Truffle 7. Tiramisu, Tempered Chocolate, Espresso The restaurant also has an exquisite wine and spirits collection. We had the best date nite ever.

What should have been a pleasant dining experience turned into an extremely stressful and disappointing situation due to the unprofessional conduct of the manager on duty, Ms. Kale. Upon arrival, my family and I were instructed to wait outside, which we did patiently for nearly an hour. Despite this long wait, we were then seated in an extremely crowded area with no regard for comfort, space, or safety. This lack of organization created significant stress for us, especially given my current recovery from a broken femur and hip. Additionally, my elderly mother, who flew from another country to visit us, and my four children -- including one with special needs -- were placed in an environment that was unnecessarily overwhelming and preventable with proper management. What made the situation far worse, however, was the behavior of Ms. Kale. When we voiced our concerns politely, she responded with unacceptable rudeness. Instead of offering a professional apology or attempting to correct the situation, she dismissed our concerns and even laughed in our faces. This reaction was not only unprofessional but deeply disrespectful. It reflected a complete lack of leadership, empathy, and customer-care standards. It is clear that this location is focused on bringing in as many guests as possible for profit, yet management is failing to properly coordinate seating, resulting in overcrowding and poor guest experiences. A manager's role is to ensure smooth operations and address issues respectfully -- something that was clearly lacking under Ms. Kale's supervision. I hope that this complaint is taken seriously, as no family should be treated in this manner. I request that appropriate action be taken to address the behavior of the manager and to improve the overall management practices at this location. Thank you for your attention. I look forward to you seeing seeing to help improvements implemented so that other guests do not experience what we did.

We chose to sit outside, and it truly could not have been more perfect. The setting felt like something out of a postcard--comfortable shade, a gentle breeze, lush greenery all around, and even birds flying nearby. It created such a relaxing, almost magical atmosphere that made us want to linger and soak it all in. The food was just as impressive. Every dish was full of flavor and beautifully prepared. We especially loved the Cajun flair throughout the menu--it really delivers on bold, authentic taste. The white staff was completely on point--attentive, friendly, and genuinely added to the overall experience without ever feeling intrusive. Between the incredible food, the charming outdoor ambiance, and the exceptional service, this was easily one of the highlights of our time in St. Augustine. We will absolutely be back!

It has always been one of my favorites which is why we chose it for my husbands 59th birthday. What a complete disappointment. It seems that the prices have gone up but the quality and service have gone down since the last time I was there. It was average at best. Each of us (and there were 4) had something different and it was the same all around. "It's ok". That was not what I expected nor what I have ever experienced before. I'd be hesitant to return as we had over a $200.00 bill and none of us had alcohol drinks. We had water! As for the ambiance, it's super busy which makes it loud. One thing I did notice, the walls and floors were dirty. I had to ask for a new fork as mine had food stuck to it. That grossed me out! With so many other places to go downtown St Augustine, I won't be back here until I know for sure they've been overhauled and back to how they use to be.

The…read morespace has a high-energy vibe with bold decor and an upscale-casual feel that instantly sets the tone for a great night out. We started with the Chili-Lime Shrimp, and that dish alone set the bar high. The shrimp were perfectly cooked and coated in a spicy chili-lime garlic sauce that had just the right kick. The miso butter emulsion and sweet soy tied everything together with a rich, slightly sweet finish. The Poke Tuna was fresh and vibrant--sashimi-grade ahi tossed in a cashew-citrus ponzu with red onion, cucumber, and seaweed salad. The fried wontons added a nice crunch that balanced the dish beautifully. The Mediterranean Pizza was a pleasant surprise. The combination of green olives, spinach, roasted red peppers, artichoke hearts, goat cheese, and garlic worked really well together on a crisp crust, giving you a savory bite with a hint of tang. The Surf & Turf Fried Rice brought bold flavors to the table. Tender beef tips and shrimp sauteed in a spicy chili glaze over vegetable fried rice, finished with fried garlic, chili oil, miso butter, and sweet soy--it was rich, flavorful, and very satisfying. The Beef Tenderloin was cooked just right--tender and juicy--paired with creamy mashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables, and a decadent truffle sauce that elevated the whole dish. Beyond the food, the service truly stands out--warm, friendly, and genuinely welcoming, making you feel taken care of throughout the entire meal. They also offer an excellent selection of wines, beers, and spirits, along with a solid dessert lineup that's worth saving room for. To top it all off, there's plenty of parking available, which is always a bonus in a busy dining area. Overall, this place nails the balance between great food, inviting service, and a fun, energetic atmosphere. Definitely a spot you'll want to revisit.
