Made reservations, were brought directly to our table back window facing... the... More

The food here is always good, varied menu and lots of fresh items. However, the service is not consistent and the prices are slightly over average for fine dining.

Over the years - the little lady and I have been to MBD many times. We went with friends in early January - and results were mixed; I went with the Lobster pasta - this is their signature dish and is spectacular! My wife had the sea bass - and was disappointed - very oily; our friends had a daily... More

I have just discovered a fabulous gem in the Port Credit - Mississauga Lake shore area. It is a very cute, romantic restaurant. The food is absolutely delicious, the staff is excellent, the decor is romantic and the prices are affordable. I have been there three times now and have not had a bad experience yet. For the ultimate romantic... More

The food was great - the service was very attentive. The room is nicely set up and there is lots of free parking in the back, which I only found by accident. I would recommend this restaurant highly. There seemed to be alot of people that knew other people, so it appeared to be a restaurant that is regularily frequented... More

Michael's Back Door is where we go to celebrate special occasions. Special birthdays, anniversaries or just when we want a fabulous dinner. In all our visits to this restaurant we have never been disappointed. The service is incredible. A nice touch is to have a place to leave your heavy winter attire. This restaurant has a special touch with fish.... More

Don't let the title of this place fool you, it's quite formal, and the food is wonderful. Service is excellent. I always ask the servcer for recommendations, and I'm always pleased. Get the lamb if it's available.
