We visited for Mother's Day at the suggestion of a server in another high end restaurant in Miami. She said it was her favorite spot in Miami. 5 of us dined and we agree. The tapas style restaurant has a nice bar, a visible brick oven with piles of multiple colored heirloom tomatoes, and great outdoor seating in a colorful... More

A must-go if you want to see what locals do for having an outstanding thursday night. Brian and Roberto (somelier and waiter) adopted us like the Miami newborns we are, and guided us through magnificent wine and food. I will never tell my mother I had Pig Ears, but I did and hope you do when you go here. The... More

After procrastinating for a while, we finally made reservations, and dined at Michael's Genuine Food; I wish we would have come earlier! The food is incredibly fresh, and the bartenders know their classics. My favorite dishes were the crispy pig ears and the pork belly! Even though I felt like a glutton after consuming about a thousand calories in pig... More

Recommended for people who enjoy interesting flavors and local products. We tried pork belly, pig ears, strachiatella with mango and pork shoulder. Out of all dishes served only pork shoulder lacked texture, othera were excellent. Drinks are very good. Nice athmosphere. Service average but that did not spoil the experience.

This was our second time eating dinner at Michael's and I have to say, it's as good as it was a year ago when we last went. You definitely need to make reservations because both the inside and outside were packed. We were with another couple, so we ordered a bunch of appetizers to share: butter lettuce salad, crispy sweet... More

This one passed my test with flying colors. If you've read my previous restaurant reviews, you'll know that when traveling with colleagues, I never order from a menu because I'm vegan. I simply ask the chef to make me something. Unfortunately, recent restaurants I've been to have resulted in very unappetizing meals. Not so at Michael's! When I informed the... More

Michael's Genuine was simply superb. The restaurant is located in a weird neighborhood, i guess it's the "design district", but it sure wasn't South Beach. Realized we were completely overdressed upon arrival, food was top notch, service was top notch ( I highly recommend the tall gentleman that looks like he just stepped out of "Dances with Wolves". The food... More

This restaurant came recommended by friends, and it did not disappoint. Michaels is tucked in a retail shop courtyard on NE 40th Street in the Design District of Miami. We went for lunch, and arrived when the doors opened. The restaurant filled up quickly. Our choice was to be seated inside against the windows near the kitchen that looked out... More

The food in this place is really good and very tasty.. The service was average and the space very small. The tables are so close that the waiter had to go around the table next to us in order to serve our group of six. Everyone was happy with the food, tough. It may be better suited for smaller groups.
