    Came here with my parents to celebrate my birthday. It had such great ratings so we were excited to visit. The customer service is superb! Everyone was so friendly and attentive! They didn't have a cocktail menu, but shared they had a full bar. I asked if they had speciality cocktails, to which they recommended the Apple Martini and Michael's Lemonade. I got the martini, which was delicious and well balanced. For apps we ordered the crab cake, crab cocktail and the ceaser salad. The crab cocktail not only had an amazing presentation, but the lump crab was large! The crab cake I was not a fan of. It had a very interesting flavor that I could not put my finger on, so I asked the server what it was made with. Turns out it was bound with the cracker that comes when you first are seated. I personally did not care for the flavor. Though the portion size of the crabcake was great. The star of the show for majority of the meal was the Caesar salad! It's made table side from scratch, absolutely divine! For our mains, my dad got the Sea-bass, I ordered the filet, and my mom got the shrimp scampi. None of us truly enjoyed our dishes. The sea bass was kind of bland. The filet had to be one of the toughest pieces of meat I have had in a while, despite it being cooked a perfect medium rare/medium. My mom's shrimp scampi was overcooked, the shrimp were just a tad too rubbery. It says something when the salad is the star of the meal. I would say the second runner-up favorite thing we enjoyed was the ice cream with berries, whipped cream and cognac. That was a huge hit!! You can tell they make the whipped cream fresh. Now, with all that said, the ambience is phenomenal, and again the customer service truly made it an enjoyable experience, even though our main dishes did not. I would return for the cocktail, the salad, and that dessert! I say worth a visit. Food rating Crab cocktail 10/10 Crab cake 3/10 Ceaser salad 100/10!!!! Filet mignon 5/10 Shrimp scampi 7/10 Sea bass 6/10 Ice cream 10/10 Customer service 100/10! Ambiance 10/10!

    Had a great experience at Michael's last night. We go once or twice a year for an only in Vegas type of energy. Michael's is OLD school but in the best way possible. Items on the menu that you just no longer can find. Michael's is stuck in a fantastic time warp of tuxedo clad waiters, a strictly enforced dress code, and many extravagant table side preparations. It's outrageously expensive but, you won't be going here once a week. My lamb chops were perfectly cooked and tasty, the creamed corn was fresh and not too sweet. All of the extras are over the top from a Dom Perignone palate cleanse to chocolate covered strawberries. We left extremely full and took home enough for two more dinners. I felt like I was a kid back in the 1970's and I loved it.

    A once in a lifetime experience if you have never experienced old school service in a relaxed environment definitely a special occasion experience for that special birthday or anniversary celebration the food was excellent and service was impeccable will definitely recommend and return

    Complimentary Crudite Assortment

    I was looking for a suitable site for a 35th Anniversary dinner, and Michael's appeared to fit the bill. By meal's end it was clear that the selection was very sound. Walking from the crowded and loud corridors of the South Point Casino through Michael's distinctive ornate door, and having it close behind me, was like entering a separate serene and classy environment. There are only about 15 tables and booths in the room, so it is advisable to make a reservation in advance. From the time we entered to the moment we left we received a bountiful feast of dishes--some ordered, and many not. We began with a complimentary large relish tray featuring quail eggs, olives, peppers, pickled cauliflower, tomatoes, gherkins, and more. Then about twenty large disks of Lavosh and a like number of Pumpernickel crisps with florets of butter were set before us. It was a great start, but I found myself holding back to save room for all that was still to come. Four shrimps sitting atop a lit ice bed were large and meaty, and I enjoyed mixing some horseradish into a classic Cocktail Sauce, as Diane addressed a hot appetizer of Coquille St. Jacques that featured scallops and Mashed Potatoes. She would have liked a few shrimps to have been tossed in the mix. A crock of Onion Soup Gratinee with oozing Provolone and Parmesan Cheeses, and well caramelized onions, was hot and superb. And my Spinach Salad with hot Vinegar Dressing, bacon and Red Onions laboriously prepared tableside was scrumptious. About this time I knocked a menu against my water glass. The glass left the table, pouring water and ice onto the floor and an adjoining chair, until the glass broke on the carpet. The area was quickly cleaned up by two assistant servers who were both nonjudgmental even though I knew the mishap was solely my fault. A palate cleanser of cold Lemon Sorbet was next up, followed by our entrees and sides. Diane enjoyed a large fillet of Sea Bass in Lemon Sauce with white Au Gratin Potatoes, while I addressed five large scallops of Veal Saltimbocca covered by Prosciutto, melted Cheese, and a Marsala-style Sauce, accompanied by French Green Beans Almondine. Already feeling full and looking forward to some dessert, I only finished two of the tender scallops of veal, but savored the remaining morsels two nights later at home. Before we could even see the dessert cart a large slice of decadent Chocolate and White Cake filled with a few cuts of banana and strawberries sporting a lit candle on top was brought before us. It was delicious. The dessert cart was then shown to us, stocked with great-looking sweet confections, but we of course passed on all of them. I only asked for some Vanilla Ice Cream to make the cake a la mode. This was cheerfully done, and I noted later that I was not charged for this. The dinner did not end then. For, a silver platter of several items of chocolate-covered fruit was placed before us, along with a large silver bowl of unopened fruit. The chocolate-covered fruits that I sampled were tasty, and so were the Green Grapes that I took out of the fruit bowl. As a final flourish, complimentary chocolate mints in gold foil were proffered but not eaten. Service was stellar and attentive throughout our two-hour dinner. The only downside is that I gained 5.2 pounds the next day, a record for me. Now I am in the process of working off the added weight. But the gluttonous experience was well worth it!

    Service is GREAT! The ambiance is nice so intimate with the dim lights, and the interior decor and chairs are so old school vibe the center stained glass in the middle gives beauty and the beast vibes. Food was good steak was well cooked and seasoned, our escargot was good as well hoping it to be more salty and buttery the flaky break on top like a pot pie was something different for me but good combo. Shrimp cocktail was a little fishy and dont get me wrong ive tried shrimp cocktail almost all of our steak dinners, and this one has that fishy taste. We also had a bunch of on the house platter from veggies fruits and lemon champagne sherbet Definitely a nice place to celebrate a occasion. Our server was amazing very nice and attractive i forgot his name and my initial review was erased accidentally. Thank y to whoever took care of us older gentleman

    I chose Michaels for dinner to celebrate my birthday. Michaels has a reputation for elegant fine dining in a romantic atmosphere. During our visit the restaurant delivered on all points. Our reservation was for six o clock. Upon arrival we were escorted to a large comfortable banquette. The banquettes are located along the walls with the regular tables in the center of the room and all are well spaced. We had an excellent view of the room from our table. The room is nicely decorated with fresh roses throughout. Our server Francesco and his associates were friendly and attentive throughout the evening. Immediately upon seating a tray of vegetables and assorted breads arrived. We ordered cocktails and Francisco insured us there was no hurry and to enjoy the evening. Our entrees were the Petit Filet Mignon, Sea Bass and we shared a baked potato. The 8 oz. filet was perfectly cooked as requested, well done and juicy and tender. The Sea Bass was a large filet and very delicious. The potato was super-size and more than enough for 2 people. We actually had some of the entrees and the potato for take home. We were also treated to a lemon sorbet pallid cleanser. Before even thinking about desert, a large piece of cake with a birthday candle arrived. We thought that was the finale but shortly thereafter a gift from chef arrived, a plate of fruits and chocolates. After another pause a large bowl of fruit appeared. This was a gastronomic dinner to be remembered. The menu prices are a bit higher than other restaurants but when you consider the top quality and quantity of food plus the attentive service and beautiful dining room, I believe it's worth it for a special occasion!

    Dinner at the award-winning Michael's Gourmet Room Classy, elegant, and exceptional service from the moment we walked in. It started when the Maitre'D showed our daughter to the table. This hidden gem is right in the center of the hustle and bustle of the casino, with all that's outside of the fancy Michael's door you definitely feel the private dining experience with your own team of professional servers. It is an experience like no other with all the extras, the appetizer tray, the sorbet and champagne, the fresh fruit and dipped chocolates are all included. The dinner was spot on with the timing and the cooking of the steaks. The table-side Caesar Salad, the Flambéed Steaks and the Bananas Foster are so much fun to watch. Can't wait until we get the opportunity to treat ourselves again.

    My Christmas wish and present was to have dinner at Michael's so we got a reservation on second Christmas Day. It was amazing. I removed my review from two years ago which was not good and I now have changed my opinion simply because I made better choices and the service was also better. We arrived ten minutes early and were seated asap. It's a nice experience as like you are royalty: you have 3 servers (one main, one assistant and second assistant / bidder). You immediately get water and a plate of all pickled vegetables and quail eggs. This with two types of crackers. I love the flowers of butter however would be great with bread. We ordered and the scampi diavolo came out fast which was heated at the table. Amazing sauce. The Caesar salad was next which is made from scratch at the table even the dressing is made right there. Amazing flavors!!! Recommended!!! Before the main the typically European palet cleanser of lemon sorbet came out which they topped off with moet Chandon. I love it, amazingly good. something common in Europe but rare here and very enjoyed! As main we got the veal saltimboca and sea bass. Both were amazing. Again, As a European I love leak which is so common with us and rare in the USA. Everything was excellent. I do not care for the tomato with breadcrumbs on at all, it's not good in my personal opinion. Super full but we got the tiramisu because I love it. However this place does not make it with mascarpone as that's the correct way. Everything else about it is on point: lady fingers, coffee and liqueurs however they use whipped cream on top. We had some drinks and were showered with the fruit basket and chocolate covered assortment and then some chocolate coins came with the check. It is super expensive but it's in the service and all the complimentary extras which makes it not unreasonable. Enjoyed it very much especially you'll be often lucky to see a celebrity here just like we did:) The prices have not changed in the past years. (I removed my previous review as it was not good. However I can tell I was not pleased with the gratin dauphinois and the coquilles Saint Jacques)

    Double Rib Spring Lamb Chops

    It's probably very easy to miss this spot, tucked away from the loud noises of slot machines and bustle of casino life. The stained glass window above the front door is the quietest indication that it does in fact exist. We made a last-minute reservation later in the evening since we were staying at South Point for a conference. The high rating and equally high pricepoint for this steakhouse does set expectations ahead of time. You enter and the host checks you in, the door slips shut and everything becomes hushed and darkened. The furniture with wide wingbacks and large booths are dressed in bright red velvet. It's giving vampire lair or possibly gangster mafia. Yet, the staff heartily welcomes you with a large tray of pickled and fresh vegetable assortments accompanied by giant crackers, which are on the house (magic words that seem to sweeten the experience). Do not make my novice mistake and fill up on such a spread of appetizers. Because this is Vegas, and everything is bigger. Even the wine arrives in a generous pour, and your water glass is religiously filled. The Caesar salad is mixed tableside. The lamb comes plated at table side, where they warm up the large vegetables before serving in a basket-shaped hashbrown. The lamb is succulent, delicate, and filling. The mint jelly that accompanies the lamb is its own delight. Distantly, you might wonder how such a pairing could stand the test of time, but then dessert literally comes around and you've moved on too. Your choices are presented on a tiered cart, cakes and chocolates and sweets from all around the country. But the bananas foster for two sounds solid, and they also prepare this tableside as you watch. All in all, it is meant to be a feast. Just for a couple hours, you eat like royalty. And from observing the loyal patrons dining and interacting around the room with the wait staff, this place does it right.

    I've been to Las Vegas many times. I've traveled a lot and eaten at many high end restaurants, even spent time working in the business in my younger days. That being said Michael's is at the top of the ladder. An Award Winning Fine Dining Restaurant period. It's been open in Vegas for 40 years although now off The Strip at the South Point Casino & Resort. Great story behind the family, specifically Michael who really put his heart into his namesake. Call asap as it could take months for that perfect weekend 7pm reservation. Located through an ornately decorated door in a blank wall near the casino with no windows at all. Seating for approx 50 guests in a gorgeous atmosphere of high backed chairs, an exquisite stained glass ceiling, in a quiet dining room. No diners allowed under 12 years old. This is a place to have a special event or a delicious meal without having a bother in the world.....contentment while dining. Business attire. Dinner can take a few hours with it's courses. Our party of four was given a crudites platter to get us started. We then had soups and Cesar salads. ( Cesars, de-boning of fish, and some desserts are prepared table side.) One of the best Cesars I have ever had. We had an array of appetizers.... The Coquille St. Jacques ( think a scallop souffle) and Sauteed Fresh Mushrooms à la Crème were very good. ( A LOT of cream sauce on those mushrooms) But the Baked Escargot ala Michael was superb. After the Apps came a complimentary course of lemon sorbet with mint & champagne to cleanse the palate. Perfect! Our array of Entrees were all large portions and cooked \ served simply the best way they could be. A meal fit for a king, a queen, and their court. --Double Rib Spring Lamb Chops -- Fresh Sea Bass Sauté, with Buttered Leeks and Dill -- Imported Fresh Dover Sole Meuniere All excellent and plentiful. There is a dessert cart. They prepare bananas foster & cherries jubilee table-side as well. We were given a complimentary bowl of fresh fruit as well. Also expect the very best in wines & spirits. Expect to spend $ too but value wise it's all worth it. Whether you can go here for a special event or just a Friday night dinner like we did, if you are a true Foodie, that has class ( yes I had to say it) then you will love Michael's. I'll be back.

A male server took our order without using a notepad or pen. I've had servers do that before, and 99% of the time they've remembered everything without any issues. We ordered the crab cakes as an appetizer, the Seven Seas Chowder, and the New York strip steak. There was a bit of a wait, even though it was just my husband and me, and the only other table was a family of five who had already been served. After about 20-25 minutes, our food finally arrived but only the chowder and steak. No crab cakes. I asked if we were supposed to get the crab cakes first since they were the appetizer. Our server looked completely shocked and realized he had forgotten to put the order in. He apologized, and we told him it was okay because, at that point, we already had our entrées and weren't about to wait even longer for an appetizer. After that, he came back once to ask if we were good he never came back after.. no refill check.. none As for the food, it was decent. If you're someone who enjoys a good steak, you'll probably understand what I mean. The steak was well seasoned and had good flavor, but it was clearly a lower quality cut. There was a lot of fat, and it was pretty chewy. The seasoning helped make up for it, but only to a certain extent. The Seven Seas Chowder was actually very good. It was flavorful and packed with seafood, so that ended up being my favorite part of the meal. The bill came to a little over $71. I still left a 16% tip because I felt that was fair, although I normally tip 20%. Looking back, I honestly regret even leaving 16% because the service really wasn't it. Would I come back? I'm honestly not sure. If I do, I just hope I don't get the same server! or at the very least, I hope he starts carrying a notepad and pen to make sure orders don't get forgotten.
