Michael's - Santa Monica

The quality of the food is very poor for the high prices. It’s nice for a drink or two in good weather but otherwise not worth a stop.

The welcome is very good but the dishes are average, not more. The banal, almost sloppy presentation. The price is exorbitant compared to the service which is average. Really disappointing.

Good food, not excellent, way over priced. When you spend $125 an adult and leave hungry there is a problem. Couldn't even take photos. The food was good but not the level I'd expect for the prices. For example for $45-50 a main course it either better be excellent OR a robust dish that will fill you up. This was neither. I respect it's an institution and has a nice layout and ambiance, with good staff, but fundamentally you are a place that serves food and it needs to be better or more reasonably priced. Vegetarian options: they had a number of vegetarian dishes Parking: paid parking garage literally just next door. You'll pay $4-8 for the duration depending on how long and which day Kid-friendliness: there were a lot of kids so perhaps they have a good kids menu

Love the place with a nice terrace ! The grilled octopus was amazing ! We also had a pizza delicious !

Waited over an hour for the food. It came out under seasoned and very bland. Left hungry and super disappointed. The “art” in the bathroom was weird.
