Michael's has been in Santa Monica since 1979. I actually celebrated my 16th B. Day there. It has always remained a classic in contemporary cuisine. Now offering a happy hour with great bar bites ..
Loved my experience at Michael’s. Fun and classy atmosphere . Food was exceptional and staff was informative. Would highly recommend!!!
Great local spot for cocktails . Bartenders are very serious about their job. Also, this place makes its own carmalized salt for margaritas .
General manager/sommelier is a very knowledgable , very nice guy who can make excellent wine recommendations whatever your taste or price range from one of the best wine lists in town .
I just checked in so I could congratulate Michael's on the worse Foursquare special of all time! Wow I can make a reservation ! What a great special! Hat's off to the marketing genius who created that!
Chatting with Michael McCarty is one of the best things about this place! The farm-to-table fare is a given - McCarty invented California cuisine in LA 32 years ago...
Much better than average reviews! Great terrace , great food and great service!
Through the happy hour menu , Michael’s provides “a snapshot, a window into the kind of food that we do” that is also affordable , says GM Andrew Turner. Read more
Loyalty special! Check in 5 times, and recieve a free order of Truffle Fries---they are delish!
Look for Joey, he will take superb care of you. And Jason makes the best drinks of all time at the front bar .
Everything is fresh and organic from farm to table - Patio table is best.
Ask Jason to mix you something special. He's the best mixologist in town and one tip, he loves tequila .
Nice touch. Michael welcomes guests. Exceptionally reasonable prices.
Truly amazing. Try everything.
The house wine is grown right on Michael's vineyard home in Malibu! Don't know where else you can get something that unique.
The bar is lovely! Not like sitting on that beautiful patio , but the NEGRONIs come FAST at a bar w only four seats!!
On February 21, 2012, Chef John-Carlos Kuramoto and mixologist Jason Robey of Michael’s Santa Monica debuted an “All Night $6 Happy Hour” menu . Read more
Great food!
Duck Confit & the Artichokes tonight.
Great art and even greater food.
Outstanding food
Avoid it at all costs. Food is bland and just normal. Why eat out if you can cook better at home. Way overpriced too.
I never eat here I just stop in to make holiday reservations .
I went here before I think
New Happy Hour Menu !
Ask what magic Jason Robey is doing tonite with hum
Truffle fries .
Overpriced and bland. Seriously tasted like plane food to me.
Highly overrated restaurant . Trying to understand what's so good about it - def not the food or decor, in my experience :(

I love the Promenade, even if it is a bit touristy! The have tons of shops ranging from the high-end to more affordable, and lots of people watching opportunities! Very talents performers as well! - Parker Green
Amazing cocktails and good ambience! Average age ~35 get the bubbles and kiwi! - Adam Bennett
Happy hour all day until 7pm. Get there around 5-ish as it gets pretty crazy at 6pm. The Misfit cocktail is highly recommended (it's like a Negroni) - Adrian Phillips
