If this restaurant was in NYC, there would be a 9 month wait to get in. Exceptional food, service, great wine list and servers who know their stuff in a funky, reclaimed industrial building made for a memorable dining experience. They were able to accommodate our large party on short notice. We enjoyed creative cocktails, then a great meal of... more

My wife and I ate here to celebrate our 2nd anniversary. The food was truly outstanding- I highly recommend the braised rabbit appetizer,especially. My wife had a veal steak, which was very good, and I had the halibut, which was out of this world. We also had excellent salads and the cherry strudel with homemade almond ice cream is not... more

The experience was an event! Our Server Stephan was great. The food was magical. The flavors... more

The food here is art. The portions are not large, the prices are high, and it is completely worth it. The food is excellent, creative and presented magnificently. The place has a nice feel and the service is excellent. A great place for a special evening. more

Get reservations on First Fridays and you've got great people watching scenery, plus tons of art galleries to visit before and/or after your meal. The menu here changes regularly, with such new creations every single time you wonder what kind... more

I have never written a review for tripadvisor before but after dinner last night...I had to share my thoughts. Until 2 years ago I lived in Southern California and had the opportunity to eat at some very good restaurants in Orange and LA counties. The experience at Michael Smith was as good as any in California. I made our reservation... more

The stuffed rabbit was amazing. Had the NYE menu and tried every dish but one (9/10). 5 of those were incredible. The two desserts we tried were a little disappointing, but my wife and I are very picky and very hard to please in the dessert dept. Great service also, our waitress Angie promptly provided us with everything that we... more

An amazingly good value for the quality of food you are receiving. Michael understands flavors and knows how to mix it up, a little shocking on some items but they deliver on the promise ultimately. The wine list is well-executed with a great smattering of choices, someone knew what they were doing here, nothing overpriced, nothing on there to prove... more
