I can not believe we have not visited this wonder restaurant. Nestled right in our backyard and never knew about it until recently. The atmosphere is so calm and relaxing and the food is absolutely exquisite. Highly recommend the peppered steak! Also pictured was there crusted halibut and the famous jalapeño shrimp. Hats off to Colleen for a special night.

Incredible customer service and the food was divine! We almost forgot our leftovers and our wonderful waitress Crystal ran out to the parking lot to find us.

Michael's is the place to go on Tuesday nights for their famous Prime Rib. We'd heard a lot about it and finally got our chance to enjoy a wonderful evening here. The service was great. Our server knew all about the menu and was very helpful in answering questions. I asked for an end cut of prime rib. I really like the crispy outside, and although its usually a little more toward the medium well side, it was delicious. My hubby ordered a 12 ounce portion, medium to medium rare. It arrived perfectly cooked and nestled on a bed of the best mashed potatoes around. The gravy was hot and flavorful as well. We'll be back soon to try more of the menu items. I know we can't go wrong!

My husband and I finally visited Michael’s cuisine for the first time. The food was phenomenal, especially the “pecan crusted goat cheese chicken” and the “classic baked goat cheese.” This was likely the best chicken I’ve ever enjoyed. The atmosphere is pretty casual and the service was great. We will definitely be back!

In reference to Patrick Riser's one-star review claiming he was refused service because of his "black skin", I simply had to voice my frustration with such a false accusation. As you can see in my Google photo I happen to be a black man. Chef Michael happens to be a dear friend of mine who I've known for years and this couldn't be further from the truth. Even before I knew Chef I had never been discriminated against at Michaels Cuisine. The staff at Michaels has always been hospitable to me - it's a major part of the charm and culture of Michaels Cuisine, a culinary gem of Fort Worth for more than 30 years. The food is absolutely amazing by the way. If you're going for the first time I suggest the Chicken Fried Steak or the Wonton Tacos...trust me on this.

Liked the cozy atmosphere and friendly waitress. The turkey wrap is served cold, I would prefer it hot. The french fries were very tasty. Tortilla soup had lots of spicy tasty chicken. The downside was my wife's casserole had chicken bones in it which were on a napkin. The waitress paid no attention to that, and changed the subject when my wife suggested she report it to the kitchen. We won't be back. Not recommended. Phil

Service was slow considering there was only about 8 people and most of them were at the bar. We ordered drinks and two appetizers the quail was like rubber I only ate two of the six pieces and my wife had the shrimp which was also quite bad. She only ate one piece out bill for 3 drinks and two appetizers was almost 80 bucks and it was some of the worst food I've ever had. We went somewhere else for dinner.

Steak was very bland. I got the rib eye, so did another member of my party. There was very little flavor. I added salt and it improved the flavor. My wife got a chicken dinner that was decent. For the piece range, $200 for party of 4, there are far better tasting options. Had a reservation, there were 2 parties in the entire place and they say us in the back right next to the other group. The back tables have connected booth seats, and we were pretty much in their laps.

A hidden gem you cannot overlook! We happened upon Michaels when other dinner plans fell through and it was kismet that we found this place. Had the oysters Rockefeller, crab cakes, and prime rib; everything was sumptuous and delectable. The green beans were also something to write home about. Chris was behind the bar, he and another young lady were the only front of house staff that showed up and even though they were swamped they had a good attitude and performed their jobs with excellence. Kudos to the folks who showed up, this place is worth your time!

Overall a good find. Food was good. Service was good and our waitress really tried to take care of our party of 8. Atmosphere was nice with a warm fireplace inside. Would visit again and try some other things on the menu.

Had a steak and the pecan and goat cheese chicken and both were delicious. Also the quail and bacon appetizer. Will be back. Awesome service.

New to Monticello, My husband and I slid in on a Thursday, without a reservation, and sat at the bar to be served by the bartender Chris. He ordered the Backyard Chicken and I the Tortilla soup and Goat cheese salad. All I can say was…FABULOUS! This will be a regular experience for us. Thank you Chris for excellent service!

Had a nice evening here. We sat in the back bar area for dinner which was a bit quieter than the main dining area. Crystal waited on us and was delightful and attentive. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Definitely will come back.

Starting out we walked in and waited several minutes for a host. All the tables have signs saying reserved but there were a total of 3 being used. Got seated hubby ordered a old fashion from the bar. It wasn't properly made. We ordered the quail appetizer and the shrimp appetizer. When they finally arrived they were horrible. The shrimp was so bad I had to spit it into my napkin from fear of getting sick. Hubby had two bites of the quail and was done because it was too chewy and flavorless. The service was extremely slow with how few people were in the restaurant. We decided to skip dinner there and go to American revelry where we know we will get great service and food to complete our date night meal.

Had the chicken fried steak and the crab cakes, both were amazing. Finished with the creme brulee with hidden berries, best creme brulee I have ever had.

Everything...every thing is excellent. The entree meats are perfectly cooked, and the vegetables are perfectly as well. The tea is well made and flavorful, not like the watery tea at other restaurants. Our dessert (white chocolate bread pudding) was amazing. The service is excellent, and they talk to you like real people.

Food and drinks were both amazing. I had an espresso martini and it was one of the best I’ve had. The atmosphere was really cozy and inviting. Will definitely be back.

Excellent Food! Great atmosphere! Definitely recommend it! Had the Backyard Chicken, and the Blackened Redfish.

We stopped in before a show at Casa. We met with friends, had a few drinks and a lot of fun. I had the clam chowder, which was amazing. I recommend it to everyone.

This rating is solely based on the food. The Wonton BBQ tacos were fantastic (comes with 3 mini tacos). We also had both chicken dishes, the crusted and roasted, both were excellent and juicy. The dining space is very casual and is in no way an indication of how the food tastes. Our waitress was sweet, attentive and quick. We will definitely be back to taste more.

A delectable dining experience - Apps were quail sticks & wonton tacos. Both fabulous. The tortilla soup was outstanding, even though they forgot to add the cheese. Entrees were tenderloin & bone in ribeye cooked to perfection. I would’ve given 5 stars, however, a $200 meal shouldn’t be enjoyed at a high top bar table directly next to the restroom, especially when you have reservations. GROSS!!!!! Thank goodness for Emily, she noticed our apprehension and moved us to a more suitable table. Her friendly and personal service coupled with the delicious food will definitely bring us back!

The food and drinks were both really good. I had one that was among the best espresso martinis I've ever had. Very comfortable and cozy environment. will surely make a comeback.

Saw the restaurant posted on Fort Worth Love List on IG so decided to try it with my girlfriend for a nice dinner. The ambiance leaves a lot to be desired… we were sat in the corner near the fireplace so it’s possible the bar area is much nicer but based on where we sat, we felt isolated and like the atmosphere was dead and outdated (eg, old tables and chairs… not inviting). Our server was very nice but at times a bit inattentive and forgot about our second round of drinks. I think they may have been short staffed which led to that but I can’t do much about that. The food was all across the board. The quail zing stix were great and really delicious but the entrees were “meh” at best. The crab cakes were more like bbq crab cakes which, while an interesting take on them, were super salty and just an odd combo. The beef tenderloin was okay but while I asked for it to be prepared medium, it was definitely raw+ in the center and well done on the outside (good flavor though). The mashed potatoes, though, were incredible! The mules we drank were really good - 5* on those! We did witness a bit of an issue at another table where they felt they were misled by the price of the fish special and I was impressed by the way the owner came out and dealt with the situation - so top marks to management and how they deal with customers. Obviously they’ve been in business a long time so management knows what they’re doing - I just think that the menu might need to be expanded a little bit and have some updated decor.

We dropped by before Casa had a performance. We went out with friends, enjoyed few beers, and had a great time. The clam chowder I ordered was delicious. I advise everyone to try it.

I traveled to Ft. Worth for work & I was recommending going to Michaels for lunch. I ordered a beef tenderloin & it was probably the best I have ever tasted. I never finish the food off my plate & I left nothing on there. The music, the bread, the fireplace, the food was excellent! I would definitely drive from Austin to Ft. worth for a day to eat there again!
