    Celebrated my wife’s birthday. We had WONDERFUL evening which was made very special with the help of our waiter Harper. We couldn’t decide between the 3 of us who wanted what entrees. Harper suggested we order and then split between us. It turned out to be a great suggestion. Micheal Anthony’s is a very special restaurant for any occasion.

    As always, we were well treated. This  is our favorite restaurant on the island, casual, and cozy with wonderful service and incredible food. Angie is our favorite, orecchiette with broccoli rabe and sausage, while I tried the chicken Milanese which will be hard to pass up in the future. The house wine is also lovely. Thanks for a fabulous experience and meal. Merry Christmas!

    Wonderful to see a favorite restaurant even better in the hands of new owners. Veal was superb, and tender. Caesar salad was rather under-whelming. Lobster diablo was enough for two. The sause was light and a compliment to the rich seafood. The wine list is super. Delicious expresso and dessert. Newly redecorated interior lovely. Sound still a problem so conversation is a bit difficult. But overall a great experience. Last but not least our server Mike was attentive and highly professional. We will be back!
