Every second was fabulous!! The service, the food, cocktails were absolutely divine! We were very disappointed in the attire of some of the patrons!! T shirts and gym shorts do not belong in a fine dining restaurant of your caliber! I do not want your image to fall to the beach going mentality!! Thank you for asking for our opinions!

Our server must of have had too many tables. We did not receive the exceptional service that we have experienced in the past. The food as always was exceptional, worth every penny spent on the marvelous steak. The piano music was so loud that we could not have conversation at the table. I realize that it is Christmas party season so that accounts for a bit of noise in the restaurant. We will be back again after the holiday season when we know that service will be back to the exceptional standard of Micheals on East
