Michael's Steaks & Seafood

This place has a nice atmosphere in a gallery setting. It’s low lit and chill. Even when busy the staff came out to apologize for the time. They are accommodating during covid. I came here for an occasion and waited until all the party arrived to be seated. The lamb chops and salad were superb. Could be a larger portion of size items. During restaurant week there was a 3 course meal which had apple pie. Everyone was satisfied with their food and drinks. They have a lot of options and a great location. The restaurant entrance is at the bottom floor and across from railroad park. The bar upstairs is a speakeasy so you’ll need a password! It is a separate system and called Bar Sebastian. They serve brunch and have weekly events on the roof top. It seems really fun and would be a nice coincidence if a baseball game was going on, you can see right out! Will be back for steak. Lovely owner.

Our food was really good. We also really enjoyed the bread pudding! I’ll probably skip the lemonade next time. We made reservations but it wasn’t too crowded when we went. Service was great. Dress code was mixed but mostly business casual.

Someone suggested to dine at Michael’s for brunch, and we wanted to support local black owned restaurants. Our server was professional and attentive. The fried green tomatoes were very good and tasty. Ordered the tiger fish with cheese grits, the fish was tasty and perfectly cooked, loved the sauce. I gave only 3 stars because the cheese grits were bland and no lights?! I understand the ambiance and preference for natural lighting, but if you’re not sitting by the windows, it’s darker than you might think, especially with the black/grey color scheme of the dining area. For the price point of the meals, there should be better lighting.
