Michaels On East - Sarasota (FL)

5 /5 Lena Liu: We searched Google to see if there were any Michelin-rated, high-quality restaurants nearby. Google didnt find any, but it recommended a few top restaurants in the area. Among them, Michaels On East was one we hadnt been to before. When we made a reservation, we found only outdoor tables, which were shaded by greenery. The enclosed sunroof, with twinkling lights and stars, provided an elegant and comfortable dining environment. The food is beautifully presented, the ingredients are top quality, and the chefs preparation is meticulous and thoughtful. Every bite is truly memorable. The restaurant owner Michael took the initiative to greet every table of guests, and the waiter Freddy was patient, meticulous, warm and friendly... The whole dining process was as harmonious and friendly as family. My only complaint was a mosquito bite outside. However, this didnt detract from the wonderful dining experience. Next time, Ill book a table inside. I look forward to a better experience.

5 /5 Charles Burns: We love the bar here at happy hour time. We really appreciate the experience and recommendation of Lara for the food and then Rick makes amazing drinks! The menu is constantly changing but honestly everything is delicious here no matter what you order you will not be to disappointed. Great place to go on a Friday night.

5 /5 Heather Mesa: We had dinner tonight for the first and we were blown away!! The service was incredible! Our server Jan was attentive, he knew the menu and explained it very well, he didnt rush us through our dining experience. I will ask for him next time we dine here, he was great! The food... oh my the food here is plated beautifully and is full of flavor! This is the first meal that I recall not needing to add salt or pepper to. The calamari has the lightest breading that lets the calamari come through and the 2 sauces that come with it were delicious! My husband and I had the Duck Two Ways and the Bone In Pork Chop. Both were full of flavor and cooking perfectly! We couldnt leave without having dessert even though we were full :) We shared the Georgia Peach Cobbler. Yum! Perfect combination of sweet peaches warmed with the cold ice cream. Our entire experience from arrival til when we left was fantastic! We will definitely be back as there were quite a few items we want to try!

5 /5 Kellymarie Lima: Came in for the first time last night. We started off with the duck spring rolls and they were good. (Im sure great Im just not a duck or spring roll person yet I still enjoyed it) He had the beef Wellington and really enjoyed it. I had a bite and let me tell you this... You dont even need to chew it because it just melts. It was the most tender piece of beef I have ever had! The beef Wellington came deconstructed which was actually really nice since he likes his steak cooked medium. I got the sirloin and it was so flavorful! I dont normally eat all my steak when I go out but there was no way I was reheating this. My steak was al carte so we split some potatoes and creamed spinach which also was on point. Kathy was our server and she was so professional and patient as we didnt know what we wanted right away. We were also very indecisive and she helped us figure out what would be best for us. We are so thankful for this amazing experience and will be back.

5 /5 Jim Mathon: Fantastic night having supper at the bar. I had to duck two ways (always great) and she had the prix fixe salmon (was ok) with fried green tomatoes (delicious). Piano player at the bar really sets the ambiance. Lara was our server she was very attentive and on point. Her backup was Ryan he was kind and took care of all the little details.
