    My tuna poke bowl was average. I have had much better at Tarks. Most Michael's food is very good but this was average. Our server, Alicia, was very attentive ! Overall, it was a good experience but my meal this time was average.

    Thank you for giving us a nod about our food in general. Was there something specific about the dish that was lacking in your opinion? Thanks in advance for your time.

    Excellent dining experience. Our waitress Jade was wonderful and attentive. The hostess knew it was a birthday celebration and on our table there was a birthday card. Food was delicious and prepared perfectly. At the end, a slice of cheesecake with raspberry sauce was served as a birthday cake. Thank you Michaels!
    Michael's CafeResponded 7 days ago
    We are lucky to have team members like Jade, just like we are lucky to have customers who choose us to celebrate their birthdays like yourself. Thank you so much for your review and for choosing us to celebrate your special day.

    Seasonal cheesecake was amazing! The restaurant was busy but we felt like our server abandoned us multiple times through the night. Dinner was delicious. Will come back
    Michael's CafeResponded 7 days ago
    We train our team to lend a helping hand to each other so that nobody feels abandoned. We are sorry that this training did not come into play when you were dining with us.
