Michael's has been in Santa Monica since 1979. I actually celebrated my 16th B. Day there. It has always remained a classic in contemporary cuisine. Now offering a happy hour with great bar bites..
Edward KollerMarch 23, 2018Loved my experience at Michael’s. Fun and classy atmosphere. Food was exceptional and staff was informative. Would highly recommend!!!
KyleJuly 7, 2013Great local spot for cocktails. Bartenders are very serious about their job. Also, this place makes its own carmalized salt for margaritas.
General manager/sommelier is a very knowledgable, very nice guy who can make excellent wine recommendations whatever your taste or price range from one of the best wine lists in town.
AlanJanuary 26, 2013I just checked in so I could congratulate Michael's on the worse Foursquare special of all time! Wow I can make a reservation! What a great special! Hat's off to the marketing genius who created that!
Chatting with Michael McCarty is one of the best things about this place! The farm-to-table fare is a given - McCarty invented California cuisine in LA 32 years ago...
Gemma MartinApril 23, 2017Much better than average reviews! Great terrace, great food and great service!
Taste TerminalDecember 13, 2011Through the happy hour menu, Michael’s provides “a snapshot, a window into the kind of food that we do” that is also affordable, says GM Andrew Turner. Read more
Drita KesslerOctober 2, 2013Everything is fresh and organic from farm to table- Patio table is best.
Look for Joey, he will take superb care of you. And Jason makes the best drinks of all time at the front bar.
- James CitronApril 8, 2012Ask Jason to mix you something special. He's the best mixologist in town and one tip, he loves tequila.
- Michael's RestaurantJanuary 26, 2014Loyalty special! Check in 5 times, and recieve a free order of Truffle Fries---they are delish!
HARADAWINSAugust 2, 2010The house wine is grown right on Michael's vineyard home in Malibu! Don't know where else you can get something that unique.
- Taste TerminalFebruary 24, 2012On February 21, 2012, Chef John-Carlos Kuramoto and mixologist Jason Robey of Michael’s Santa Monica debuted an “All Night $6 Happy Hour” menu. Read more
Marcelo GarciaMay 14, 2018Avoid it at all costs. Food is bland and just normal. Why eat out if you can cook better at home. Way overpriced too.- DAN COXJanuary 15, 2011The bar is lovely! Not like sitting on that beautiful patio, but the NEGRONIs come FAST at a bar w only four seats!!
Wairimu KuriaFebruary 9, 2012Highly overrated restaurant. Trying to understand what's so good about it - def not the food or decor, in my experience :(
