Chef Michael's

Very refined dining (especially for the keys!). Clean, lovely room. Nice not to have tables on top of each other. Nice, comfortable bar. Friendly, informed service. And excellent food. Duck was the very definition of Crispy! The seafood pasta had plenty of scallops, shrimp and lobster and I defy anyone to eat the entire portion! Wines were good, although not exciting.

We have passed by the restaurant a hundred times and finally, we enjoyed the most wonderful meal. We were greeted at the bar by Ralph, who was knowledgeable and friendly! We ordered the wahoo tataki, conch chowder to start. The wahoo tataki was phenomenal! The conch chowder was tasty and spicy, spicy. For our mains, we had the wahoo over rice and the triple tail. Both were served "Ambassador" style with crab, calers in a lemon butter sauce. The sauce was so tasty and perfect, but not as perfect as the coconut rice!! Best rice I ever had, and I know rice. It's a great place for locals and visitors alike. They treat everyone so nice. Thanks for having us....we will be back again!

I've reviewed restaurants for years and as of right now, this is the best food I've ever had. 1. The complimentary bread and garlic infused olive oil (and herbs). Salty, savory and delicious. 2. Iceberg salad - this was the juciest most succulent salad I've ever had. The bacon was out of this world and the gorgonzola cheese was stunning. 3. Roasted duck + hogfish/shrimp/scallops. So good. Decadent and flavored so well. The unique sauces and extras paired so well. 4. THIS is the best key lime pie in the Keys. Despite what others claim, this is the best. The raspberry/strawberry sauce put it over the edge. Thanks to server Jennifer for the warm and friendly service. The chef put heart, soul and black magic into this food. What an experience.

Chef Michael’s came highly recommended, and it absolutely delivered. The conch and shrimp fritters were perfectly crisp and packed with flavor, and the lionfish appetizer was amazing—fresh, light, and beautifully done. The stuffed shrimp easily made my top list. They’re also known for their hogfish, which is clearly a must-order on future visits. Great wine selection and a well-curated bar experience. Ashley took amazing care of us and made the night even better. This is a must-visit for food lovers—just be sure to make a reservation in advance. Highly recommend.
