By far, one the best restaurants in town if not the state. Our wait staff, including brother/sister team, Justin and Megan were very attentive. The food is always superb. We've eaten there several times. Outdoor seating isn't favorite. Our waiter offered tastes of wine for me to decide which one. Both were great. Just beer and wine though, no hard... More

Recommended by Islamorada locals. Fresh daily catch selections, served up five or six ways to suit everyone's pallet. Just ask Shell for advice. She will let you know how to put the while package together including the wine. Michael's does not look like much by day BUT go no matter what you think. It's all about the FOOD, and the... More

We were thoroghly entertained by the staff and the food was simply amazing. I am a huge lobster lover. This was my first time having it fried. Awesome! Everything was perfectly seasoned. Will be back soon!

Chef Michael's was a culinary delight! He can even make vegan dishes upon request. Just call ahead! The atmosphere was lovely, with a great porch area and a charming, quaint indoor area.

From the time you pull into the parking lot, you are greeted by the maitre d' who welcomes you by name and with a warm smile.

We didn't have reservations but they found us a table outside on the pretty porch. We each had seafood and they were large portions. Very fresh and cooked perfectly. Our waiter was a little stiff but still good. Everyone was very attentive. I would go back.

HANDS DOWN the best place to eat in Islamorada! My husband and I just got back from a week stay down there and went to Chef Michaels 2 times. We can't say enough great things about this place. The staff are amazing and so friendly. The food is out of this world. They are very accommodating as well with various... More

Their specialty if the hog fish, my husband ate it and it was delicious. I prefer yellow tail so I had it with a crust with nuts and again, it was very good and they serve me a good portion (I took some for home). For sure we are going back to enjoy it.

Ate on their deck on a 75 degree, breezy evening. Great wine list, menu and service. Attractive tables. Salads were outstanding. My wife's fish was great, my seafood pasta was outstanding. Generous portions. Very, very nice dinner.
