J. Michael's Prime

One of the best steakhouses in town, and would likely get way more hype if it weren't so far out there. Service was excellent, very attentive with several folks helping the main waiter we had. Drinks were good, with some pretty interesting cocktails and a hefty and very reasonably priced wine list. Steaks and cuts are a standout for sure, with more prime cuts, wet aged and dry aged selection than anywhere else in town. Sides selection was good as well, the cauliflower probably the most unique in terms of presentation. Brussels were good and mushrooms fantastic options. Don't usually go for dessert but given the occasion, everyone got something and everyone was pleased. Triple choc cake and turtle cheesecake were my personal favorites. Only slight stain on our experience was my wife's steak. She's celiac and they knew up front the glaze the steaks typically came out on were not safe to eat. However it still came out that way, and when it was noticed and called out. They took it back and the replacement came out within minutes. Did they prepare another steak that quickly? Have one already on the works? Or just wiped it off and replated? Hard to say, and my wife took a charcoal pill and ate it and thankfully didn't get sick. Would've been nice had the request regarding a food allergy been addressed up front instead of needing callout and correction. Would still be back and give it another shot.

First visit tonight for my birthday. Everything was great. Food was fresh, sauces homemade, service outstanding. We had the calamari for an appetizer. It was cooked perfect and the included house made chile sauce was delicious. Would recommend/would go again.

Made reservations for my husband's birthday based on a friend's recommendation and this place did not disappoint! Best steak I've had in the states! I'm looking forward to coming back as our wonderful server had extensive knowledge of the menu, answered all of our questions and recommend several delicious sounding things on the menu other than steak so there's something for everyone. We both got the prime boneless ribeye. It was so delicious! We brought the leftovers home for the next day. We ordered too many sides because we couldn't decide and know next time what's most important to us so we don't over order. Definitely will be back! Can't say that I'll be able to pry my eyes away from the ribeye to try something else but I'm ok with that! 10 stars!

I love this place, but recently had a not so great experience. I appreciate that Frank immediately reached out to me. He informed me that the situation has been resolved. I wish I could get myself to bring back up to 5 stars, but the issue we had there put a damper on a very important evening. Hopefully my next visit will be another 5 star experience, and if so, I will update my review then.

Just a quick update to an already 5 star restaurant. J Michale's is a fabulous steakhouse but if you don't know, they run specials almost every day of the week. So on Mondays they put out this amazing fried chicken special. Yes a chicken special from a steakhouse. You would be amazed. I'm not, because I know that everything J Michale's puts out is fantastic. So it's a 2 person chicken special. 8 pieces of crispy on the outside, tender and juicy in the inside, chicken (full bird). 4 huge pieces of the best corn bread around. So moist. 2 of any sides on the menu and there are some good ones. And a peppercorn white gravy that's out of this world. What a delicious dish. Next on my list is Sushi Tuesday!
