Our first time at Michael’s Steak Chalet. And man, they didn’t disappoint. We were hungry for steaks and the place we were staying at ( Margaritaville ) had next to nothing to offer except pizza and burgers! Weird. Oh well, there loss. And one of the bartenders there recommended Michaels. So we went there on a Hope. Being winter time, we walked right in and got a table next to the window of one of the most perfect views of the lake. The view is spectacular! You can see for miles each way of the lake. They say reservations are highly recommended in the summer months and I can see why. So, we had no problems what so ever. Employees were fantastic. Everything was very clean. Just don’t get in a hurry. And we weren’t. Why would you. Martinis and appetizers were excellent. We had been told by the bartender mentioned above, that there known for there prime rib. So we got it. I’m 62 years old and have eaten prime rib my whole life all over, and this rates right up there with any of the best I have ever had. Twice baked potatoes- excellent. Veggies-excellent. We didn’t have dessert as we couldn’t eat another bite. I highly recommend Michaels Steak Chalet! Great job and are compliments to the chef’s.

Heard rave reviews for Michael’s and it totally lived up to the reviews and then some! The food was excellent and the view was spectacular.... Had the grilled prime rib with the andrias sauce and it was delicious and tender. My husband had the rib eye and it was cooked perfectly and so tender.... the fried lobster appetizer was great and was a generous portion. The staff was wonderful and friendly and they made sure the tables were socially distanced. Will definitely return if headed back to the Ozarks.

The food was excellent. We had the filet and prime rib. No garlic mashed potatoes available as advertised. Standard baked potato and salad. Vegetable offered was lima beans. We were seated in 1 big room. I felt like I had to whisper. Very old and dated surroundings. No offer to freshen my ice tea. The waitress had shorts on. This is a very expensive restaurant. I didn't feel shorts on a 55+ year old waitress were appropriate. Or any shorts for that matter.

I wish we could say we had a chance to try the steak and prime rib but after sitting and waiting for over an hour we finally asked why we had not received our dinner and the owner said it looked like they lost our ticket. He didn’t act too apologetic. The waitress had not come out to see us for over 30 minutes. It was our anniversary dinner. Needless to say we ended up ordering dinner from another restaurant and that meal was delicious. Would not recommend this place. Wasted over an hour of our time.

We have been to Michaels several times. For Father’s Dsy, we took 2 family members for their first time. Our reservation was for 6:45 and were seated by 6:50. The waitress was VERY inattentive (there were only 4 tables n that room and she was not the only server). We were hoping that only the service was not up to par, but unfortunately, the food wasn’t either. After finally getting our food at 8:10 (they close at 8:30!), 3 orders of filet and an order of pork chops ALL came out cold while the baked potatoes were so hot steam was coming out (we wondered if the potatoes weren’t ready and they let the steaks get cold waiting). Definitely not worth $175.00 (not including tip). We won’t be back.

Reservations were made. They couldn't find our reservations, but seated us anyway. We asked to be seated by the window (which we were). Windows were very dirty (inside and out). Instead of assigning servers to various sections of the restaurant, it appears the management assigns servers in every section. Only five tables of patrons in our section, and there were three servers, but not very attentive servers I might add. We heard one server tell customers that she was the hostess, server and bartender. Escargot with Scallops....what a joke. It was a tiny/tiny snail, a very tiny scallop, and I never found the mushroom. I ordered the prime rib. I will say it was the worst prime rib I have ever had. Tough (could hardly cut through it). Husband's pork chops were nothing to write home about either. The beef stroganoff that was ordered at our table was bland and supposedly had prime rib in it. It was noodles, mushrooms and two small pieces of prime rib. If you want a nice dinner, and your bill is going to be $200+, I would definitely tell you to find another restaurant. Once and done.

Very disappointed. The place looks very dirty. We sat by very dirty windows and the view was awesome…however 6 plus flies and lots of grime on the floor to ceiling windows did not leave me feeling great about the importance of cleanliness. The problem is simple and a good once a week clean would go a long way. The glasses for the water also did not seem very clean. Bad impression. We both got the large ribeye and again for 48 dollars each it was not horrible but not great either. I literally had much better steak at outback so that was disappointing. I did not want the andria sauce it was dipped in …however it must have been on the grill because it certainly was on the steak… ordered med rare and received medium at best..Waitress was fine but never asked about our steaks and hostess was nice. I would not recommend and would not go back. Plenty of other fine dining experiences at the lake.

Drinks: Merlot and Prosecco
Appetizer: Shrimp Cocktail
Diner 1: English Cut Prime Rib (Medium), Salad, Baked Potato
Diner 2: Ribeye (Medium Rare) Salad, Baked Potato
Atmosphere: Wonderful view from up on the cliff, decor was a little dated but nice.
Wait Staff: Pleasant and knowledgeable but, I think spread a little too thin.
Shrimp cocktail was good, shrimp were fresh. Sauce could have used a bit more horse radish.
Salads were fresh and crisp.
Baked potatoes were good sized and moist.
Prime Rib was flavorful, but dry and well done (not medium)
Ribeye was done as requested, had a good char, adequate flavor, but that hid a sub-par steak. It was chewy (lots of gristle).

We have been there several years ago, and had good memories. We went there this time and the noise level was so loud you barely could have a conversation with our friends. Moist of us had prime rib and no matter how you ordered it, it was very rare. One table behind us with with about 8 people were having a good time, but their noise carried all over the restaurant. It was 90 degrees so we did not want to sit outside. Will I go back, no.

We had a fabulous and romantic dinner here. We’re absolute foodies and thought the food was delicious - I went with the steak Oscar and my husband had the wagyu burger. The cocktails were perfect and the outside patio was lovely. The service was just how we like it - friendly but not “in your face”.
We found this place by luck of the draw doing an internet search for fine dining near our hotel in Osage Beach. It’s a bit off the beaten path, but accessible enough and worth the few minutes drive out of town for the view of the lake.
We’d be regulars if we lived here!

Excellent for a fine dining experience. The service was friendly and professional.
The server Uriah was attentive and pleasant .
The patio was not open yet, but the upstairs dining was very nice.
The food was plentiful and well prepared.
The special orange princess roughy with the crab and Bernais sauce was excellent.
The staff availability was at times sparse, but reservations were necessary.
The pricing was not for the weak at heart!
However the quality and portions were excellent.

Wow! Best prime rib I've ever had! Just got home and had to write this. I had the small prime rib. I love red meat but can't eat a lot in one sitting. I had enough left over to share with my companion who probably would have eaten it all. AND i have enough left for two more meals for me. A riveting martini with house gin I've never had that was potent enough to make it enjoyable and steak fries which I also brought half home. Awesome meal and great view. A shame that more of us locals, like Lake Ozark area don't know how good Michael's food is. My companion had the filet mignon and loaded bake potato that was beautiful. We order prime rib in the best restaurants here at the lake but this one was the very best. My suggestion to the staff is to check water glasses and fill when half full but I wouldn't take off points for that.

We had made a reservation for the patio for dinner to watch fireworks being shot across the channel at Margaritaville and worried as it was raining. Owner did a fantastic job serving dinner inside with plenty of room for social distancing. They have new bar and patio on the east side of restaurant with lots of new seating and the former bar downstairs is another dining room all with views of the lake. Had the filet medium rare with twice baked potato and it was excellent. Wife had escargot, chicken piccata, and a very good chocolate lava cake with vanilla ice cream. Plenty of good wine and cheer for everyone celebrating and the fireworks were spectacular. Again thank you Brent as we thoroughly enjoyed dinner. See you July 4 !!

Great choice for our anniversary dinner. It was a quiet and quaint location with a great view of the lake. The prime rib was incredibly tender and delicious. Shrimp cocktail, sides and drinks were great as well. Service was excellent.

Took my wife their for her birthday with another couple. The service was terrible, really poor. They seemed to hire young kids with no experience and do not give them training. For what I paid for, very expensive $235.00 I was expecting 5 star service and 5 star food. Food food, not a high level to warrant 5 stars. Shared my experience with Brent, the president who did not seem to care. He was happy he could give a young kid and job. If you want to pay a lot of money and get 2-3 star service, Michaela's is the place for you.
