As tempted as you might be, don't overeat from the relish tray, for there are so many food surprises in store. My elegant and charming dining captain, Tim McGarry and delightful head waiter Russ, (who, like the rest of the staff, has been at Michael's for 20 years) started us off with the complimentary assorted relish dish (spectacular array I loved the gourmet quail eggs and cinnamon beets myself). Both gentlemen are there nightly to keep and guarantee that Michael's service and food shine brightly. I attribute the long success of Michael's to the very classy Maitre D' Jose Martel and award-winning master chef Fred Bielak, who have both been with the restaurant (since day one) for over 20 years.

Let me be blunt, you won't even have to think about what you might want. You will experience impeccable, pampered, cheerful service by two waiters, a captain and a bus boy, all serving with the Michael's dazzling special touch. Those were the nostalgic days, when dining meant everything, and you were served tableside! Each table, accented with a rose and lace tablecloth, will take you back to the Old World Vegas style and class. In keeping with the old Michael's, the décor is lovely with deep rich colors and Victorian plush furniture (high red velvet winged-back chairs to provide privacy) that only accentuate the ultimate and truly intimate dining experience. Upon entering this beautifully decorated 5-star restaurant, you will know immediately that you have entered into a special world of elegance and serenity. For those who might be wondering if it has lost any luster, charm, class, or dining excellence, let me comfort you but simply saying, 'It is, without a doubt, better than ever!' Furthermore, I found it touching, and sentimental that the restaurant took the door and the Tiffany dome from the Barbary Coast to keep with tradition in the new Michael's restaurant location. This stellar restaurant is without a doubt, the best kept culinary secret in the city! Many regulars will remember Michael's when it was located in the Barbary Coast Hotel. While in Las Vegas, if you have only one night set aside for fine dining, then this is your, 'Must have to dine at restaurant'. I love, love, love Michael's Restaurant, located in the South Point Hotel and Casino.
