    We had another wonderful meal at Michael’s. We sampled the French Epicurean menu and were pleased with our choices. My husband had the butternut squash and sweet potato soup and the Scottish salmon, and I had crawfish beignets and veal scallops with Calvados. The desserts are all made in house, even the ice cream which accompanied my almond cake! Everything was delicious! Our server Kelly, and attendant Isabel were friendly and attentive. Having Michael stop by the table always adds a nice touch. He makes everyone feel welcome! We’ll be back again soon.

    We went there based on hearing they had a really good filet mignon. Unfortunately it did not live up to the other reviews we read. Both filets had a lot of fat that you could not even get through leaving a lot of loss on a $40+ entree. They also did not have any flavor to them and they added blue cheese and a sauce over the top of it. Just not a good combination. One of us had the grouper and they said it was decent. Another person had a burrata salad and the meatball appetizer. The salad was really good. The meatballs were decent. But a $200 bill should have been wow and not eh.

    Beautiful restaurant on the bay. The staff are amazing, friendly and made us feel so welcome. Our dishes were presented beautifully. The steaks were cooked to perfection and the baked Connecticut blue point oysters were so out of this world that we ordered a second one!If you’re looking for a more upscale experience in Siesta Keys then Ophelia’s will not dissapoint. Their wine menu is fantastic as well!
