"Drove past it, u turn, then drive down, then behind it, to park in front of it, wheew. The staff was great, laid back, home like feeling. Liked that the food was made to order, fresh but had a little to many flavors/spices. This is a great restaurant to hang out for a bike (motorcycle night) on fridays and saturday night, girls night, game night and family night. Other than that it was normal. Large portions to share for hanging out late night is great. I would not recommend a date night at this restaurant."

"We went in expecting more of an upscale feel. It's just a bar with a dive bar atmosphere. Our food tasted like charcoal and was over cooked. The staff never checked to see if we needed refills and was very slow to even take our order."

"We had Easter brunch at Chef Mikes. Our experience was a little mixed. The main courses and sides were very good. However, the desserts and pastries were completely disappointing. Beautiful looking cakes that were very dry and not tasty at all."

"The food was all outstanding, but they seemed to operate as if they didn't have a clue how to prepare food in a timely manner. Our salads arrived before our appetizers, one persons meal was served and consumed before one of the appetizers made it out. The other 3 individuals got their food about 30 minutes after the first entree was served to the table. The "soup of the day" wasn't ready at 6:30 on a Friday evening.
With that said, the food was great and we enjoyed ourselves, but the entire experience just seemed unorganized."

"The staff was overwhelmed for Valentine's day but the steak was very good and the waitress was very friendly but swamped and understandably slow. Complementary rose and glass of wine was nice touch. Price was nice too."

"Went for Valentines day. Dinner was OK. We went with the Valentines Day special which, on the recommendation of our waitress, would be "wonderful". The steak was ok in flavor and overcooked. The best thing on my plate was the grilled asparagus (yummy!). Drinks were on the small side. My wife's martini (gin martini) did not come with olives (sorry, just a pet peeve of ours). I was expecting more from the steak but I think I should have ordered off the menu instead of doing the valentine's day special. We might go back and try the steak again- but not the 'chef special'. Our waitress was very friendly. Our meal w/o alcohol or tip was about $75, which for a good steak would be OK, but not good for an OK Steak."

"We visited on Valentine's Day. The restaurant service staff was not prepared for the volume of reservations, but the kitchen was prepared. The Valentine's Day couples' menu was creative, daring and generous. Chef Mike must love food as much as we do. The Chateaubriand was tender and delicious, the asparagus nicely grilled and the potato perfectly-prepared. Foodies will overlook the lack of ambiance and visit for the Chef's food."
