Michael McCarty opened this restaurant on his behalf in 1979; it then influences Californian cuisine and becomes the leader of the fusion movement. He was among those who popularized the alliance of goat cheese with arugula and caramelized onions. He is also among the first to have deign taken California's wines seriously. Today Michael seems to have remained stuck in his golden age. A small lifting of the menu would not hurt anyone. The breakfast on its terrace is simply a necessity. Artists, writers, actors and all those who can afford it come here.

Happy hour is hopping. You need a rez for best experience but heated front porch was lovely.

We went to Michael’s for the Valentines dinner, and I can honestly say it was the worst meal and service I’ve ever had. I never write reviews, but I am so disappointed by how much we spent ($350+) for the quality of the food and service. After sitting down, it took 40 minutes to get our first drinks, which were only beers on tap. We didn’t get our first appetizer until 1.5hrs after sitting - I was starving, it was 8:15pm by that point. The duck confit was cold and dry, really just not good. We got our dinner about 2/2.5hrs later, and the food again was only fair. We had prepaid for dessert, but we had been there over 3hrs and finally just asked for the dessert to go. Nothing was comped, they didn’t reduce our bill or bring us any extra drinks/snacks - they just kept saying “sorry we’re backed up.” Just really annoying how much we paid for this kind of food and service. Don’t recommend and will not return :(

Very nice restaurant in the 3rd street in Santa Monica. Nice area outside with great atmosphere. The beef with fries was delicious with sauce au poivre and delicious fries. Very decent prices as well for the quality of the food. Nice and friendly staff. Only downturn was the short wine list wine a bit overpriced bottles considering the quality.
