   We were able to get a Sunset (5:45-6:30) time slot. Simply beautiful. But anytime is a great water view location. The table-side preparations (& presentation) are lovely and fun! EVERY TABLE had the fresh Lobster bisque by flame, and the complete Caesar salad build. Impeccable service. A must do.

   We went to Michel’s for our 10th anniversary. It was our first time there, and we were impressed by the quality and service. After 3 years of living in Oahu, we finally found a top-notch restaurant!

   We used the restaurant with a small child, so we were worried that we might cause inconvenience to the restaurant. As a result, we were warmly welcomed by very helpful and friendly waitstaff and had the best travel memories. If I ever come to Hawaii again, I will definitely use this restaurant. Thank you very much.

   Our first time at Michel’s for a staycation birthday dinner. We stayed next door at the Kaimana so it was very convenient just to walk over. The service is excellent and the food is also very good. I would suggest reserving around 530 to not miss the sunset but also not get “cooked” at your table, as the sun streams through directly on you no matter where you sit regardless of the awning. Best table to choose would be front Diamond head corner under the hau tree shade.

   Great service even though surprisingly busy on a Tuesday in November (great for the restaurant!). Highest marks for the Ocean Harvest appetizer, and the Beef Wellington and Filet Mignon and Lobster Entrees. All beef entrees cooked perfectly! Also preparation and delivery of Bananas Foster and Cherries Jubilee was excellent and scrumptious!

    Picked Michel's as our finest dining for this trip with a 5:45 reservation for sunset views. Arrived just in time for a perfect sunset. Just wish there weren't beach goers in front of windows in front of restaurant but couldn't help that. Just know (for you reading this and making your decisions) that there is a small beach in front and you will have beach goers in front of your view. But it is an amazing view. There are two menus to choose from: tasting and a la carte. We chose a la carte for the options. We haven't had a 'table side' Caesar salad in ages and let me tell you, Michael blew us away with this salad and our wonderful conversation. So much so, we asked to switch him to be our server. (In all honesty we didn't have a very good experience with our original server for multiple reasons, so being allowed to switch to Michael saved the day). Thank you Rhonda for helping us during our visit to Michel's, understanding and meeting our needs with the food and our server- we wouldn't have had such an amazing time celebrating our vacation. Food: again- table side Caesar salad was to die for with such fresh Parmesan cheese, perfect amounts of garlic and anchovy sauce (we skipped on the actual anchovies) and fresh lettuce. My man had originally ordered the NY Cafe De Paris Steak with a few substitutions of potatoes and asparagus - unfortunately the steak and vegetables were not cooked well. But they replaced them with an amazing filet and potatoes that were truly delicious. I had the Island Style Steamed Fish (sea bass this evening) - and while cooked perfectly I was disappointed in the flavor, it seemed very bland, I probably should have stuck with my gut and got filet and lobster. But the fish and everything on my plate were cooked perfectly. Additional person to point out- shout out to Jacob- I have never ever been at a restaurant where I have paid so much attention to who gave me (actually served me my food) as much as with Jacob
