Michael's New York

Big fan of Michael's.
Worked in the area for several years and had great business lunches a few times a year.
Because I lived in a different part of the city, I never thought to try it for dinner.
Recently, I was looking for a classic NYC fine dining restaurant in midtown good for families with kids for a family birthday celebration.
A friend suggested we try Michael's and they delivered! The lovely hostess made it magical for our kids upon entry, we were treated with the table in the window, the food was fresh and tasty and the kids loved it! There is not a kids menu but they will do kids pasta, simple burger, steak, chicken, etc.
One of our kids - the pickiest eater - ordered a butter pasta and said it was the best they ever had.
We all tried it and agreed, had to order another! There is a pretty limited wine selection but all were very good.
Beer selection could be improved.
The classic room has been the setting for many business deals and I have fond memories of a few, enhanced by our recent family experience.
Love the laid-back but first-class vibe and unpretentious service.
Highly recommend!

The food was good and the staff was superb.
The dining room is also beautiful.
We went for a weekday lunch and it was very much a business crowd.
The vibe is borderline stuffy, but the staff was so kind that their warmth offset that.

Michael's is the perfect fine dining experience.
I came here for my mother's 40th birthday and I really want to thank the staff for making it memorable.
A complimentary birthday cake was given to us and the staff sang her happy birthday.
The setting is luxurious and the wait staff have everything down to absolute perfection.
The margarita pie was warm and cheesy and the fish was well seasoned and presented.
I want to thank the manager Basdeo for making our night so special.
