Michael’s Bar and Restaurant

2 comments January 31st, 2008

We had a great experience at this casual restaurant located at the corner of Alpine and Harrison.
 
The menu definitely keeps with the casual feeling of the restaurant - there is nothing too fancy on it.   Out of the variety of choices they offer, including salads, steaks, pastas, and sandwiches, the pasta and sandwiches looked the most appealing to us. 

We decided to try one of each.  Out of the pasta category, we tried the cheese tortellini with feta cheese, sun dried tomatoes, and spinach.  This was a different combination, but was actually quite tasty. If you don’t like feta cheese, though, we wouldn’t recommend it because it is a strong flavor in the pasta. We tried the grilled chicken bruchetta sandwich.  It came on an herb focaccia that completely made the sandwich.  It was delicious and the focaccia added an extra boost.
 

Our service here was excellent.  The staff was all very friendly and fun.
 
The food is not expensive at all, only costing between $8 and $20.  We really enjoyed Michael’s and recommend it to anyone looking for a casual restaurant with excellent food quality and service.
