    While the famous Waldorf salad is beautiful, it’s too tangy and unbalanced. Preferred the cauliflower side. Def an old media hangout: Strahan, Rather & Carl Bernstein all in the corner

    While I didn't like Peninsula bar, I loved this bar/restaurant. Great chef and diverse menu - small plates through nice entrees. Good mixed crowd. Try the duck confit tacos!!

    A bit stuffy but great food. Fried polenta with goat cheese and a golden beet was out of this world. Nice big room in the back for private events

    See and be seen at this stellar restaurant. Try to grab a table in the Garden Room to dine surrounded by art from Jasper Johns, David Hockney and Frank Stella.

    Super expensive but great for a power lunch. Staff is very nice and makes you feel like a regular...even if your not.

    pricey... but this place is such a time capsule from the 80s-90s that it’s almost worth it. food is actually pretty good.

    A beautiful place with a very personable owner who visits every table. Creative diverse menu . Eggplant ravioli is especially delightful.

    Do ask the price of the catch of the day, before ordering. Today's Dover sole was $75, considerably above most of the entrées.

    "Power brokers teeter between wanting to be seen and wanting to be left alone, and the staff at Michael's has been trained on how to negotiate that fine line." -Forbes

    Classic old school media hang out spot. The Eton mess was a great dessert.

    Sit down for lunch at Michael’s and you're sure to spot a few celebs, like David Patrick Columbia of New York Social Diary. And follow Michael’s on Twitter for a list of the literati in attendance. Read more

    Been here 5+ times
    Make sure you notice the (now) vintage 80s artwork. This place is frozen in a very different time.

    Good for breakfast but a little pricy for what you get.

    Stay away! Place was empty on Sat night. Waitress doubled as bartender - drinks horrible. Food all came put ice cold and they screwed up my order. Menu far too limited for restaurant of this price.

    Never again! Overpriced, ice cold food, no bartender. The waitress was the bartender! They charge for a roll, $3.Never again. Pretty place, zero personality. Hot drink came out cold, food was cold!

    Overrated. They cannot seem to differentiate between "small" and "large" plates. And they charge for bread. #cranky
