Michael's St. Augustine

We celebrated my birthday yesterday at Michael’s in St. Augustine, and it was absolutely perfect! The food was incredibly delicious, the staff was outstanding – friendly, attentive, and quick. The manager was wonderful and made us feel so welcome. The pianist played beautifully, adding such a special touch to the evening. Truly the best place in town! Highly recommended!

We enjoyed an evening with my two children and my wife to celebrate our anniversary. The atmosphere was great with the pianist playing in the background and the tables set with lamps. We had a reservation and were sat immediately. The bread we ordered was amazing but we all wanted more as the baguettes were small but at the end of it's for the best as the dinner was plentiful. Thanks for the great time. Oh and the wine list you will need to take a copy home because it's huge and you will not have the time to read it all.

I wasn't expecting a lot from a restaurant located inside of a hotel, but this place turned out to be the best food we had while on vacation. The atmosphere was great, with wonderful live piano music adding to the mood. The food was delicious, and the dessert was heavenly. I highly recommend dining here while on Vilano Beach.

We enjoyed a marvelous dinner with fabulous wine at Michael's St. Augustine. The scallop special and, in particular, the MARKET VEGETABLES were outstanding dishes. It isn't often that I am impressed by vegetable offerings, but I consider these some of the best, with the potato pave being extraordinary. It was indeed a pleasure to discuss wines with Claudio Giardino, the Sommelier, who was both knowledgeable and amiable, and backed with an award-winning winelist, The 2011 Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial Rioja, Spanish red that we had was phenomenal. The atmosphere of the well-appointed decor, great pianist, and Michael, our server, who provided top-notch service, all made for a very memorable and highly recommended fine dining experience!

The steak was perfectly cooked and seasoned, the service was great, and the bananas foster dessert was one of the best desserts I’ve ever had. Highly recommend Michael’s for a special occasion dinner or just a special treat. We can’t wait to come back!

Absolutely blown away by my experience at Michael’s St. Augustine last night! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting—perfect for a memorable dining experience. But let’s talk about the food... it was a masterpiece. Every dish wasn’t just beautifully presented, it was a stunning mix of flavors that left me speechless. You could tell that each ingredient was carefully selected, and every bite was a new wave of delicious surprises. Truly an elevated culinary experience! And they just opened at this location so everything is brand new! You’ll spend about $75-$100 per person but it’s worth the experience in my opinion. A special shoutout to our amazing waiter, David, who provided top-notch service with such warmth and attentiveness. He really made us feel like VIPs throughout the entire meal. And Caleb, the host, welcomed us with such genuine hospitality—it’s clear that everyone here is passionate about what they do. I can’t recommend Michael’s St. Augustine enough. From the incredible food to the outstanding service, it’s a dining experience you don’t want to miss. 10/10!

From the moment you enter the restaurant your experience begins with a very intimate and elegant atmosphere.You are welcome by friendly and professional staff. The piano notes are the romantic touch for a very special night. Michael's has an extraordinary selection of wines to please the wine lovers and the staff is properly trained to give that special and unique treatment when serving those delicate and aged wines. Let's talk about the food...WOW! When you go to a restaurant and the chef overflows with details and perfection in his dishes but your palate can also enjoy the combination of fresh and delicate ingredients, giving you the experience of unique flavors. On the starters, the Goat Cheese Terrine and the Empanadas are fantastic. My favorite dish, Mofongo with shrimp. In this selection the chef replaces the green plantain with cassava and shares with you the authentic Caribbean culinary culture. If you are a steak lover, I recommend the KC Bone-In Strip and any other steak as they are prepared to perfection. Desserts are fantastic! Tres Leches cake and the chocolate cake. Our experience was on another level. We visited the restaurant on February 12 and wanted to repeat the experience on February 14 and this was our best Valentine's dinner ever. To the owner and Chef Michael and to his amazing staff. THANK YOU!

Went here for a birthday and had a wonderful experience. The restaurant is beautiful, and the service was amazing, but the food was the true star of the show. Easily one of the best restaurants in the St. Augustine area.

We had a delicious meal last night celebrating our 51st anniversary. They greeted us with a "Happy Anniversary". As we were seated our waiter, Ryan, came by to acquaint us with the menu. A few minutes later he came by with a complimentary glass of champagne. We then placed our orders. My husband had a special starter for the evening of smoked salmon tartines - absolutely delicious. I had a beet salad which had a large amount of beets and was great. For our mains, I had the steak Diane and my husband had a 16 oz ribeye which was cooked to perfection. While my steak Diane was very good, they didn't cook it table side and flambé it prior to serving it to me (which I've had done other places). Next time I'll order the filet mignon. Both were accompanied by mashed potatoes. There was wonderful music playing when we first arrived and at 6 pm the pianist played some great music on the grand piano. It made the evening enjoyable. Ryan was very attentive to our needs throughout dinner. It was a wonderful experience, food was delicious, nice atmosphere in the restaurant and they have valet parking. We will definitely be back.

This is a mixed review. First the service. If you go this restaurant ask to be seated in Mehgan's section. She was wonderful, informative and excellent in any way you would ask a server to be.. simply the best we can remember. The food - mixed. The oysters were amazing, fresh and tasty, The wine (recommended by Meghan, was also very good) My entree the special beef wellington was excellent and I typically do not order this type of meal preparation. My wife had swordfish and it was simply not that good, for whatever reason it came out bland and just disappointing - especially when compared to everything else we enjoyed. The dessert was also delicious. To summarize, every place has an occasional miss. The swordfish here was that miss. We will give Michael's a try when we visit again.

Went to the new location for Michael's and we were very pleased. We were greeted very warmly at the hostess stand and shown to our table. To our surprise we we given a complimentary glass of sparkling wine as we cleaned our hands with the warm towels. They had a number of specials so for a starter we went with the monchango cheese and caviar. Both were delicious and left us wanting more. I ordered steak for my meal and my husband ordered the branzino. Both delicious and filling. We decided to order Tawny wine for dessert. We each tried a different one and both loved the pours we got. Definitely will be back. They have such beautiful paintings on the walls adding to the charm of the restaurant. It's a very warm and inviting space.

Great food, wine, and service. Totally worth the drive or walk, if you're downtown and looking for an upscale nice place to eat.

This place is absolutely delish! Their decor has been upscaled and it looks beautiful, great place for a dinner date for sure! Food was cooked to perfection, I had the Scottish Salmon NomNomm! Would definitely get again! The roasted carrots (side dish) were also delish! Unfortunately to me the Kaluga Hybrid Caviar ($115) wasn't worth it.. it came with tater tots which drowned out the mild caviar flavor. I really enjoyed this place and can't wait to go back! *Be sure to make reservations online in advance!!

We went to Michael's for the first time last night. It was soooo good! Food, service, ambiance, and the sommelier's recommendations were just perfect. Could not have been any better.

Beyond amazing experience from start to finish every person in the restaurant tends to anything you need from the wine sommelier to the runners who bring your food, and especially the servers! do not leave Saint Augustine without visiting this restaurant!

So as a painter and crafter I'm in the habit of going into crafting stores for materials and inspiration. Michael's being one of them. I go up and down very nearly every isle searching of anything that catches my eye and will, often times, walk around the store with an item in my hands and just brainstorm different ideas. If I decide against the item I put it back. One particular day I was doing my usual routine and was approached by a manager who asked me to leave the store and stated that on a previous visit I had been caught "red handed" removing tags from some items and stealing. You can imagine my shock as #1 I haven't stolen anything since I was 8 years old and took a candy necklace from a neighborhood store, #2 if they had caught me red handed why didn't they approach me at that time? I asked the manager if he had seen me remove tags and he said no, I asked if the cameras had recorded me removing tags, he said no, completely exasperated by this point I asked if ANYONE had seen me remove tags and, again, he said no. I asked him if he knew what "caught red handed" meant, he said he did so I asked him to explain how he caught me red handed when neither he nor anyone else saw me do that. He said that an employee had followed me around the store and when I put the item back it didn't have the tag. I remembered that day, which was about 2 weeks before this, and I believe he was speaking of a jewelry item that didn't have a tag on it in the first place. I didn't think anything of it because I figured if I decided to get it they would know the price at check out. I was about ready to laugh at this point but decided against it. I did leave the store, haven't been back and just want to let people know that if you're like me and carry things around the store for contemplation, BE CAREFUL!

Michael's St. Augustine, 25 Cuna St. Saint Augustine. Night of lights or visit to historic Saint Augustine is not complete without a date night at Michael's of St. Augustine. It's a fairy tale for your tastebuds, a real culinary experience. Burst of flavors in every item evident of chef Michael's passion to create exceptional exquisite dishes. All spices are locally sourced. The steak and mushrooms were devine and mushrooms are locally sourced from a farm who has been cultivating it for over 30 years. All the spices are either blended in house or sourced from local speciality. The food was a sensory delight for me, at every bite my taste buds thanked me. The flavors were a symphony, perfectly balanced, Quality ingredients make all the difference! The service from the moment we entered the door was amazing. Our server Kelly was incredible and the kindest. The service quality, the food and the atmosphere of this restaurant were everything you could ever ask for! We tried the chef's Experience: 1. Beef Tartare, Potato Pave, Creme Fraiche, Hackleback Caviar 2. Goat Cheese Pearls, Cucumber Ribbons, Smoked Tomatoes, Peppadews, Castelvetrano Olives, Sweety Drops, Arugula, Sherry Balsamic Vinaigrette 3. Bread & Butter Trio (garlic herb, truffle shallot, tomato datil) 4. Chilean Sea Bass, Cedar Key Clams, Local Mushrooms, Asparagus Tips, Tomato Nage 5. Strawberry Mint Sorbet (palate cleanser) 6. Wet Aged Filet, Mushroom Soubise, Local Mushrooms, Shaved Black Truffle 7. Tiramisu, Tempered Chocolate, Espresso The restaurant also has an exquisite wine and spirits collection. We had the best date nite ever.

Never again . It was Christmas time was very excited to go there with me and my best friend. We got dressed up to the nines. You were happy walking in there and wishing everybody hello and merry Christmas from the hostess to the people we walked by and the dining room there was a couple next to us that just got married and wished him a hat. Congratulations And bought them a drink cause she saw that I got some truffle fries and she was like asked me how they were. I said they were delicious. Would you like some and she said yes so I got one of my little bread plates and I gave her some of my fries and then the manager came over and told me that we don't share food here and not have to do that again so then that put us out our taste in my mouth at that time. My best friend was eating one of their shrimp appetizers and she said you know it was good but it taste a little fishy fresh fish that's not supposed to taste fishy. We ordered a couple glasses of wine And we order steak and lobster for dinner and then it took a long time for them to get our food out at this time the manager came by us again and asked if we could be a little more quiet because I guess we were just in a good mood cause it was Christmas time but nothing crazy or obnoxious, but it was embarrassing for the second time of the night and who are them to tell me who I could share my food with or not share my food with or tell me to to keep my voice down when I wasn't even that loud in the first place and the whole place people were talking, so it's not like everybody was being quiet hush-hush so we decided to get up and leave we paid for our bill out the stuff we already ate and we left and wanted to do a collage in the collage was 100 times better With food service the way they treated us the ambience and just 1000% better customer service and food around that if you ever wanna find a great service, go to the collage and to embarrass us like that, and the bride and grew next to us was disgusting behavior the way they treated us and when we were leaving, and everyone was like, why are you leaving around us? I'm like it kind of made us feel uncomfortable and kind of tried to like kick us out and everyone was like what what what? No no no And I was like yeah merry Christmas. Happy new year everybody never again they're disgusting behavior.

We arrived in town Friday night and dined at Michael's at 5!pm. We did not have reservations but their hostesses Isabella and Madeline sat us along the patio area nonetheless and we thank them. Our server Michael answered all questions about the menu and we had the best filet minon with mushrooms . Michael recommended Martis Cabernet wine and it was perfect! Manager Kelly was called and I gave her kudos to her staff and chef!. We were served a delicious cafe latte by " classic" Megan. Their chocolate mousse tart was outstanding. When in town do not miss Michale's and his dedicated staff !

Came here tonight with my son and his girlfriend. We had the best time. We can attest to bread, appetizer, wine list, steak, side and desserts. We also loved the decor and the service. The price point is high but they are delivering what you would expect.

I'm still savoring the wonderful food! I had a Rehearsal Dinner for my son, and we had 50 guests, including 6 rambunctious children. The cocktail hour and the passed hors d'oeuvres were scrumptious: poached Argentinian Shrimp, Steak Tartare Bruschetta, and Goat Cheese Terrine. My fav, the Terrine. The guests had 4 entrees to choose from, everything from the Cavatelli Pasta, Salmon Filet, La Chamba Chicken, and Steak & fries was delicious. My husband, a meat person, raved over the steak. All the guests had nothing but rave reviews. The Menus were printed and personalized. The decor and seating set-up were just perfect. I have to give a special shout-out to all the staff for their professionalism and great service, particularly Kelly Phelan, who handled all the coordination. Thank you for making this destination wedding so amazing!

Slow, slow service complemented "okay" food, at a steep price. Maybe we tried them on a difficult night. When our party of 4 arrived at the restaurant which is attached to the lobby of a hotel, I was pleased by the live piano music and appropriate lighting and decor. Things went down from there when the host didn't greet me and looked down after I told them my name and reservation time. They beckoned me to follow to our table. After my wife whisked away the crumbs from the table, we sat and waited. Eventually, the sommelier came by and took drink orders and served water. Ten minutes later, a server came by and took our orders. It seemed like we didn't have anyone accountable for serving our table. Rather, service was provided by a roving group of people. The original server returned after the appetizer was delivered to ask what one of our party was having because she forgot. An hour after we finished our appetizer we received the entrees. At no time during the hour did any of the wandering servers inform us of the delay or apologize. Immediately following the delivery of our entrees, some of the server pack came by to ask how the meals were. After an hour and a half sitting, it didn't matter. We were hungry. The food was ...ok. The ribeye of my guest (requested medium) was rare. He didn't complain because the last thing we wanted after the wait was an additional delay. After all that, the bill was wrong and they charged for drinks we didn't get. No apology. Unless you're there for the wine (they have a very extensive list) or staying at the hotel, I'd put Michael's far down in my list of places to eat.

Every single dish here was incredible. From the appetizers all the way through to dessert (not pictured), everything we tasted was amazing. We opted for a date night special, which they don't have on the menu, but it's a sharing meal for two that included two appetizers, a 30-40 oz ribeye with vegetables and a dessert. The inside of the restaurant is very intimate and has a very formal vibe to it (although there were still plenty of people there in jeans as well). I don't know that I would say the service was five star, it was good service, absolutely nothing wrong with our waiter, he was very knowledgeable, BUT, they could definitely take things to the next level by making the service provided match the food prices. All around an extremely enjoyable experience. We came here for our anniversary and we were not disappointed one bit.

I went with my wife, neighbors and their kids for my wife's birthday. Michael's is her favorite steak in town so it's her go to. We started with the Shrimp and chorizo app as well as the tapenade. Both were very good. The tapenade was a little different than I'm use to. It it was still good. My wife didn't like it but she doesn't vegetables so that wasn't too much of a surprise. I know what Wellington is but I always thought it was with beef. I'd never heard of Salmon Wellington. The server told me it was the last one in the house so I gave that a try. It was cooked very well and was still raw in the middle. My wife got the 10oz Filet which is what she always gets. She also got a side of whipped potatoes for the table. I got a side of carrots that were really good too. She got a Dulce leche cheesecake for dessert. It was way too sweet for me so I could only have one bit. I'm not sure when, but I'm sure we'll back.

Food is extremely good! Servers were awesome in explaining what they offer. And the environment was very tasteful !

First Time there, My Sister and Brother in Law live in the area and I took her for her birthday. Amy our server as well as all the folks that brought our meals were excellent. Comfortable seating and very nice interior seating was excellent and the over stuffed chairs were a pleasure to sit in. As posted I had the beef Wellington and was excellent, we had two scallops that my wife and sister had and I promise you it's not easy to please my sister, B-I-L had the Jamaican dish which he stated he would order again. They have lived in St. Augustine 20+ years and eat out when family comes to visit, and Michael's will be their place on special occasions. Parking was in the public lot, but we had one at the side door, and since my Sister should use a walker but refuses she had her cane. Thanks for making her Birthday Special. Redman

Michael's restaurant was a good choice for our dinner when we went for our girls trip at St. Agustine. The restaurant was so cute, we sat outdoor and the temperature was perfect in February. Our server was knowledgeable with the menu and always made sure our table was taking care off. Each of the food that we ordered was so good and they tasted so fresh and meet our foodie taste bud. Great food, nice place, nice experience. You got our vote Michael's!

Absolutely delicious. I have never been to a restaurant in which every single bite of food is delectable and better than the first. We have started making Michael's our go to celebration spot for anniversaries and birthdays. Every steak is savory and worth every penny. The sides are unique and flavorful. Expect to pay a pretty penny, but know that it's absolutely worth it. We could not recommend Michael's more highly.

Five Course Chef's Dinner -- what an INCREDIBLE experience! I cannot speak highly enough of the food, atmosphere and service. Not too fancy and not too casual - definitely an adult spot to eat. A chill environment that is pretty and makes you feel right at home. This was a treat for me and my husband - I got the wine pairing with my dinner and it did NOT disappoint. I'm not usually a white wine drinker but I even enjoyed those pairings because they were perfect. These dishes were exactly what I was hoping for and more. Every bite was balanced, flavorful, and decadent. I honestly am obsessed with everything I had to eat here! Everything was so unique and playful and a joy to experience. If you are looking for an out-of-this world evening in St. Augustine, this is the place to be. I will absolutely be back and will bring all of my foodie friends with me. - Amuse Bouche: Potato Pave, Toasted Seaweed Crema, Trout Roe - First: Burrata, Prosciutto, Blackberries, Pomegranate Molasses - Bread Service: Baguette with Trio of Butters - Smoked Tomato & Datil, Roasted Shallot & White Truffle, Confit Garlic & Herb. - Second: Fish & Chips, Sauce Gribiche - Third: Butter Basted Gnocchi, Local Mushrooms, Parmesan - Fourth: Beef Wellington, Foie Gras, Red Wine Bordelaise - Fifth: Bananas Foster Cake, Rum Caramel, Candied Orange

My wife and I had dinner at Michael's for our anniversary and what a meal it was! I can't say enough for the food, the service, and the ambiance. Beautiful interior with comfortable "sofa" seating. Our server, Oliver, was extremely attentive and informative making our first visit welcoming and providing us with the necessary information to make the best menu choices. Located Downtown, you do need to find parking and walk over to the restaurant through the wonderful streets of St. Augustine. The Red Pomegranate Sangria was incredibly delicious and complex, perfectly balanced, and quite strong. We learned the sangria is made from whatever bottles of wine have been opened previously for several days and may contain some of their pricier selections. If you love wine, this is the place for you. The wine list is quite extensive. Beers are only in bottles or cans, but they offer a wide variety of local selections. Frankly, I'd suggest the Sangria. They offer a "Date Night Experience" for only $200 (for two) which includes three appetizers, an amazing tomahawk marinade aged ribeye, and one dessert. Because it was our anniversary, they actually gave us two desserts. The appetizers were the bread, the shrimp, and the camembert. All were incredibly flavorful and delicious. But the tomahawk...what exceptional flavor and tenderness, and the meat on the bone so satisfying to tear off with your teeth! Propriety be damned, I got my face dirty on this one and do not care. Huge portion that we were able to take at least half home for additional meals. Comes with a bowl of vegetables including a superb layered scalloped potato piece that was crunchy on the outside and tender within. For additional we chose the mushroom "crust" which was a cacophony of large mushrooms smothering the meat and making for an exciting accompaniment. We took the desserts home and ate them later, a Dark Chocolate Tort and Tres Leches both decadent and delicious. From the presentation of the food, the table cleanups by whoever happened to walk by and see the need while our server took care of another table, water refills, and general friendliness, the experience was definitely elevated all around. I don't think we'll wait until our next anniversary before we return for another go at that delightful menu! Pro Tips: There is an outside garden seating area that is first come first serve. We ate inside but it looked very nice if you enjoy outside dining. Let them know if you have any special dietary needs and they will bend over backwards to accommodate! The owner is opening two more restaurants, another downtown and seafood restaurant at a hotel by Vilano Beach! Can't wait to try those as well.

Can't say enough good things! So glad we came here. The restaurant and ambience was very nice. Everyone was kind. The food and service were spectacular. Great ambience with the dim lighting and lit up art on the walls. Our waiter Tedd was friendly and the food was extremely tasty. Every dish was full of unique flavor. We had the beef carpaccio, beet salad, sourdough baguettes, ribeye, amazing carrots and gnocchi with peas, pancetta and perfectly butter seared scallops. Definitely a must try if you're visiting St. Augustine! We will definitely be back for more.

Excellent restaurant. Excellent food and service. Is presented as a steakhouse but according to chef's Puerto Rican origin there is a great latin fusion cuisine. The shrimp mofongo is the best. And for dessert the tres leches is superb. You have to order and pay for the bread, but do it as it is excellent. We will never miss Michael's when we go to St. Augustine.

This was our first time at Michael's and we booked the Chef's Table Experience and wine-pairing for my birthday. What. A. Treat. Every dish was delicious, thoughtful, and delightful. Chef Tosh did amazing coming up with the various dishes. I'm still thinking about our starter dish-I'm not usually a fan of goat cheese, but it was whipped so wonderfully and you could taste each individual ingredient and how they melded well together. After that first bite, I knew we'd be in for a foodie journey to remember! Our server was knowledgeable and well-versed in the various dishes that were brought out for us to try and the different wines that were paired with it. I will let the photos speak for themselves. My only regret is I didn't ask for a menu of what the dishes and wines were at the end. I did take a *few* notes on my phone but wanted to immerse myself in the experience and my company. We were seated in an intimate corner, which was nice to have that sense of privacy and like the table experience was just for us. The establishment is a bit small for its indoor seating (hey it's historic old St. Augustine) so be sure to get reservations well in advance. When they called to confirm my booking, I mentioned the Chef's Table Experience and they were happy to add it. 5/5 would recommend and would love to try again!

What a classy dining experience! It's set in an old house in the middle of the historic district not far from the fort. Service was of the highest caliber- Blythe was our server on our visit. We went with the "date package" that included an assortment of appetizers, a massive tomahawk steak (cooked perfect with different finishing butter choices ) and dessert. The wine list is voluminous and included a range of price points. The dining room is nicely appointed and seating is not crowded.

Over all a great experience. My only negative is the price is high for the food quality. Service and vibe was great, nice relaxing experience. We did the chefs couples experience for $200. Three small appetizers- the bread plate was the best, soooo good! Large tomahawk steak- tasted great and presentation was very nice. The veggie side may have been the tastiest thing we had, I'm not sure how they made potatoes taste that amazing but wow they were good. Tres leches for dessert and it was just fine. Overall I would recommend for a splurge if you are looking for a nice date experience. It does NOT beat Burns in Tampa. Steak was good, but not as good as Burns.

We had a 9pm reservation which was really late for us but I am so happy we kept it. While waiting to be seated, we didn't have one employee walk past us that didn't give us a welcoming smile. Our server was Blythe and she was wonderful! Very knowledgeable with the wines and menu. She informed us of a special "Date Night Experience" that is offered to couples which includes a Tomahawk steak to share, two baguettes, potatoes, vegetables and a shrimp appetizer. I would highly recommend this for date night.

Amazing food. Amazing service. The ambiance is a bit stuffy but the food and service make up for that.

Many nice things about this restaurant have been said in the reviews, but few if any (I didn't read all 500) mention the wine. If a great wine selection is imported to you, you won't be disappointed here.

We had made reservations a couple months ago. Our first time dining here. Our Waiter was fine. We ordered the shrimp appetizer with bread and wine. We both ordered steaks, mine was Wagyu I ordered it medium, my partner ordered rib eye medium, which took quite awhile we had seen the servers walking around with our dinners they finally found us. When my partner cut the steak it was very rare, my wagyu was raw very unappetizing. The waiter came over & we told him the situation, he offered to refire the ribeye and took it, we asked for the manager a young woman came over very rude we explained to her our steaks were both undercooked she had to "call" someone, she came back & said they will remove ribeye but the wagyu we had to pay for "half", we declined as it was not eaten, again she needed to call someone. She came back & said they will remove both I should hope so. We dine out a-lot to 5 star establishments etc. for the prices they charge they should have someone on site who can make decisions. No leadership on premise is a very poor run business. We paid for app, wine & $10 breadsticks & left. The " manager" was so rude & did not care we were paying customers. We heard they are moving 10mi away maybe they're already checked out! There are other restaurants in area better food & service.

Beyond perfection. We tried the tasting menu and every course was incredible to look at and delicious to taste. We were six people including two vegans and each course was done so well you would never know there were different things on the vegan plates. Tash, our chef and Nate our waiter made the dining experience superb for all of us. I cannot recommend this experience enough. A must do!!! I took a few pictures, sorry but not enough.

And the food was delicious, but please know that the tip will already be added onto your bill. I did not see it until later and made the mistake of tipping twice kind of not cool.

My fiancé and I are newly made locals. Moved here last month. He and I chose Michael's to celebrate his birthday early, and for the first time ate at Michael's. AMAZING! They 100% beat out Berns Steakhouse in Tampa Florida for us, which was our top steak spot. We loved it so much that I'm thinking about having rehearsal dinner there in January. Definitely need to try them out! Plan to spend a little bit of money. The staff was also amazing. The blonde manager( I think her name was Tracy) will be one of the reasons we will become a regular! Our waitress was lovely too!

We were able to get in on a Friday night without reservations to celebrate our anniversary. From the host to our waiter Christian, the service was amazing. We sat outside in the courtyard. It was intimate with our table off to the side. The right amount of fans kept us cool and there were no bugs. The water fountain and light added the right ambiance. Michael's is a hidden gem off St George street. From the appetizers to dessert, the food was delicious. The port chops are great if you are looking to have something other than steak. It had a smoky flavor that we cannot stop talking about. Great place for a date night. We will be back again!

In St Augustine One of my favorite Romantic All the food no matter what I order is a new exciting taste. Right size portion not to kill my diet. Worth every penny. Definitely go there if you are visiting. After go to stogies and sit around the fire. I've met some very interesting people there

Came in for dinner on a date night. The restaurant is very cute/romantic. The menu is small and specialized but the food is amazing! We ordered the Tomahawk Steak dinner for 2. It's a 4 course meal for $200. The starter was the Michael's Board. It would have been nice to have a choice of something else, neither of us are big on charcuterie but it was tasty. I asked for my salad without dressing but I came dressed. It was pretty good. The steak we ordered medium as my date preferred that but I prefer medium rare. It came out medium rare so I was happy. It was a little more rare than I would even expect for medium rare but it was yummy! It came with 3 toppings. The butter one and tomato ones were my favorite. The scallion one was just ok. It came with asparagus and mashed potatoes. Those were both very good. For dessert we had the choice of 5 options and we picked the bananas foster, it was really good! Overall I'd say the meal was slightly over priced but only by $25 or so. The bottle of wine was reasonably priced. The staff was lovely. Megan was our server. Another woman came by who might of been their sommelier but she didn't introduce herself. I would like to go back and get their mofongo sometime as it looked really good going by. The bathroom was clean and cutely decorated. One final note: the place may or may not be haunted. We had a rose in a small vase which we moved out of the way to put the steak down. About 5 minutes later it jumped off the table all on its own. No bumps to movement. It might have slid on some water/sweat but it coulda been a ghost!

What an absolute perfect place for our anniversary dinner! I had called a week ahead to make sure we were able to get a table for the night of our anniversary. The lady was very helpful, I got disconnected and called back and she immediately asked if I had just called to make dinner reservations a few minutes ago. Super friendly and enthusiastic which sets the tone for our visit immediately. Although I had initially asked for an outdoor seating, the night of our reservation was actually rainy and cold so I asked if we could sit inside instead even though she assured me that we would not get wet and that there is a heater available outside should I choose to still sit out there. I'm a whimp when it comes to the cold/wet condition so we opted for dining inside. Our waiter was pleasant and brought a complimentary drink for toasting (rose/prosecco something like that). My husband does not like wine or any drinks related to the wine family so he only brought one glass. Shortly after, the sommelier came to help assist with my wine selection. My heart is usually pretty set on some cabernet sauvignon so she assisted in choosing the one for me in a sea of wine selection. My husband was pretty set on his beer selection so she went ahead and grabbed both beverage for us. We started with some plaintain bon bons which were delicious. Plaintain wrapped in bacon and some flavorful sauce. For my main course, I ordered a 16 oz ribeye, medium-rare and a side of their creamed greens. He ordered the salmon wellington. Both entree came perfectly prepared. My steak was fantastic and came with a complimentary sauce (I chose the red wine bordelaise). I am generally not a sauce person when it comes to my steak but the sauce was quite delicious! The salmon wellington was prepared nicely... No soggy bottom and the pastry was flaky and with the right crispness consistency. Then the icing in the cake... The dark chocolate torte. What a magnificent dessert! The sea salt sprinkled on top makes for a perfect flavor combination in every bite. Absolutely the best ending to a fairy tale dining experience. I will cherish such delicious memories from Michael's and I am so glad we had the opportunity to dine here while in Saint Augustine! The staff were fantastic and I could not have asked for a more perfect time.

Had an amazing time as first time here. Had the Picaña and paired it with Tempranillo. We also tried the salmon and it was fantastic. The ambiance is perfect for st. Augustine and the service is good. Glad we were able to give feedback to the manager, it was a good dinner overall.

This restaurant is known for the steaks, and although we don't eat meat, we enjoyed the food here. We celebrated our anniversary and it was nice surprise to receive two champagne glasses on the house:) The tuna tacos are a must and so is the sea platter for appetizer. The wine selection is impressive.

Great food and exceptional service! This was our first time dining at Michael's and it was special. Our steaks were perfectly prepared. Additionally the interior of the restaurant is comfortable, clean and quiet. It was nice to be able to have a conversation and not have to yell over the background noise to be heard. If you haven't tried Michael's you are missing one of the few fine dining restaurants in St. Augustine!

9pm dinner reservation for 5 on a Saturday night. Pros: The food was excellent. If you like Puerto Rican influences with bold flavors, this is for you! The plantain bon bons and appetizer with the fried yuca topped with steak and avocado crema, tomatoes & garlic was phenomenal. Hubs has steak frites which was a great 10oz Hanger steak and truffle fries with delicious chimichurri. Our friends had the NZ Salmon (Farmed) and Duroc Pork Chop! The complementary olives were so good as a little snack before our meal. We brought a bottle of Opus One 2006, paid corkage & decanted. We didn't get dessert as we had stopped a few other places first but I bet they have great flavors too! I eyed the Tres Leches and Bananas Foster on the menu. We celebrated a friend's birthday and we're treated to 5 glasses of Cava on the house. Cons: Despite our reservation, there was a mix up and they gave our 5 seater table to someone else so we did have to wait about 20 mins for them to combine 2 tables. All in all, 4.5/5 stars from me!

A great little chef owned place is St Augustine. It's cozy, romantic and just what your itching to find for a date night. Go there, now.

We had a wonderful experience at Michael's. Every dish was just perfectly executed. The service from the entire staff was the best in St Augustine and the ambiance was perfect. Though we did not take a picture of it the tiramisu is worth the extra indulgence.

We stopped in here again on this trip and it is still amazing! We got the 5 course chefs dinner with wine pairing. Really nice! It was pricey but it was worth it as the quality and flavors were top notch. Still probably one of the top 3 places to have an anniversary / romantic dinner in St. Augustine.

It was a great place to have a nice romantic dinner . The ambience was wonderful . Staff is great , steak was awesome. Will be back one day when I save up money lol.

The food was good but the service was horrible for me. I walked in and it was more than half empty. However, they decided to sit me outside, most likely because I was wearing casual clothing. Just black jeans and black shirt and nice shoes. Nothing weird. Well, the meal experience was very bad. I walked out with 9 mosquito bites and had to swat the big flies consistently. My arms were beet red. I had 9 mosquito bites on my arm and 2 on my ankle. I would think an expensive place like that would invest in some kind of pest control. They didn't sit anyone else outside. The servers kept walking by me with food back and forth and I felt like I was just in the back room. I have never been treated this bad in my life. I've traveled all over the country multiple times for work and pleasure and got to experience so many great places. I am a big foodie. The only reason for the 2 stars is because the food was decent. When I left the place was still more than half empty.

Best steak experience in years. Amy was amazing the waitress you always hope for but never get. Choreographed execution of plate changes and 10/10 friendly even though we started in the last reservation and would be closing the place. We had the salmon: 10/10 and the 10oz fillet: 9.5/10. Best I've ever had. I will try to get back and have the ribeye. Amy helped us pick the perfect wine to go with. It's an investment: plan on a budget of about $80-100@ and enjoy every minute of it. Memory will last a lifetime. Worth every penny! The place is a little tricky to get to no doubt you take alleys to get there but maps did it's job to get right there.

The steaks and service were wonderful. The side dish was bland and we (or anyone) would expect a full bar
