Restaurant Chez Michel

This is one of the oldest French restaurants still in operation. I remember my parents telling me it was too expensive to eat there. So after 40 years I decided to visit. My daughter wanted to eat somewhere fancy so for her hard work at school I decided to oblige her. It was really busy and we were lucky to get a reservation. We ordered Caesar salad and the onion soup. The onion soup was exceptional, not salty, not too much cheese with great bread. I had the elk steak which was really tasty and didn't have too much of a gamey flavor. We shared a beaujolais which is one of the few reds that can go with fish or meat. The almond crusted halibut was really good. The chicken in vol au vent pastry was so good my daughter intentionally didn't finish it so she could take some home to prolong the flavor experience. We had some of the best crepes suzette ever with crême brûlée on the side and a Sauternes wine. Excellent.

Great ambience atmosphere for memorable conversation and celebration. Angela who personally greeted us and ensure we were enjoying ourselves. Escargot and garlic butter, complimented the bread nicely. It’s a must have. Nice experience; will be back.

I've been going to Chez Michel for the past 6 years and they have never disappointed me or any of my friends and family that I've brought. Delicious, unpretentious and authentic French cuisine! The service is always top notch; warm, inviting, knowledgeable and attentive. The decor is nothing special. It's pretty boring to be honest. But it doesn't really matter too much when the food and staff are great!
