Where To Introduce The Parents Because It Has To Happen Eventually

"Michael’s is the right amount of fancy to make you feel special, but casual enough to calm your nerves about a meal that may be the reason why future Thanksgivings become white-knuckle events. There’s indoor seating and plenty of outdoor tables for the friolenta moms who carry sweaters with them in the summer. Plus, the food and service is always consistent. And just about everything on the menu is recognizable: roasted cauliflower, pizza, deviled eggs, and snapper. The only surprises here are the looks you’ll get when the in-laws realize this is more of a baby-announcement-meal than a meet-the-boyfriend-meal. Luckily the four-tops have hidden leaves that can expand into six-tops for your growing family. " - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer
