I brought my friend here for her birthday dinner and it was a wonderful dinner. We ordered the bone marrow, escargot, mussels and fries, and rib eye steak. She loved the recommended wine, though neither of us knew what it was. Everything was cooked to perfection, the waiter was very nice, the ambiance was great and it wasn’t a noisy restaurant. The parking is a bit difficult in this area due to all the restaurants and shops on the street, so definitely give yourself some extra time if coming here for a meal. I made reservations, so luckily we didn’t have to wait upon arrival. The complimentary bread was also delicious with the butter. I wasn’t really into the olive spread they had. Everything was just cooked so well and not overly salty like some French restaurants I’ve been to. I felt the lemon zest overpowered the bone marrow flavor a bit, but it was still yum, especially with the whole roasted garlic that came along with the order. I’d definitely visit again.

The lamb burger was really good and excellent service. Limited, but great cocktail menu.

Another great addition to the area. Heavily french focused menu / drink list. Warm and inviting interior with a bistro table setup. Once greeted and seated the staff was friendly and informative without being overbearing. The oysters were very fresh and had a great flavor to them. The breakfast was very carefully prepared and tasted fantastic. The home fries are also really great. We are excited to have an amazing bistro like Michel’s.

Great french food in the grand ave area!! Affordable deals on wine that are available by the glass, half bottle or whole bottle. The mussels are DELICIOUS and are a must! I didn’t try the lamb burger, but my partner loved it! One tip though, it does get LOUD in there. If you’re a 2 top, you’ll be seated close with other patrons. By the end of our dinner we could barely talk to each other without shouting.

Best little bistro in town! The service from the front desk to the waiters and bar tenders is excellent. The food which is what keeps us coming back is consistently great! I’ve tried almost everything on the menu and it’s all been delicious served at just the right temperature and cooked to my preference.

Marvelous evening, especially if you actually eat like the French, by taking your time, savoring, and enjoying the food, ambience and the people you’re with. The menu had something for everyone from the less adventures to the more curious. The wait staff was helping and engaging, the ambience relaxed.
