Chef Michael's is awesome. Local seafood specialties, cooked a variety of ways. However, their entire menu is top notch, esspecially the cowboy steak..... Service is always friendly and very attentive. My favorite is the Hog Fish and Yellow Tail Snapper cooked any way the Chef desires-yummy. BTW-Their slogan is "Peace, Love & Hogfish. Beer and wine bar, they have a... More

We just returned from a wonderful dinner which was promoted by reviews I read on your site earlier today. Out server, Michael, was attentive and friendly and the hostess was very accommodating when I called to make our reservation. The glaze in the lamb chops was a delicious surprise. We would definitely recommend this restaurant if you are in the... More

My husband and I hosted my son's Rehearsal Dinner Party at Chef Michael's in April. I loved every minute of the planning, hosting, and follow up with Chef Michael and his staff. It was the prettiest party, with the most delicious food that I could have ever hoped for. Chef Michael and co-owner, Mary, were wonderful. They took care of... More

Chef Michaels is a quaint little hidden treasure in Islamorada, Florida. Our family has eaten there many times and it is always excellent! The Hogfish is a favorite for sure! Not only is the food delicious, the staff is wonderful and the atmosphere is great! I highly recommend this restaurant to all visiting the Keys...you will never be disappointed!

The salad was there Wedge salad that had a light pinot dressing with the freshest lettuce and tomatoes.And the applie bacon was flown in from Vermont. Yummy! The server Shell was the most incredible server both my husband and I have encountered.... More

By far, one the best restaurants in town if not the state. Our wait staff, including brother/sister team, Justin and Megan were very attentive. The food is always superb. We've eaten there several times. Outdoor seating isn't favorite. Our waiter offered tastes of wine for me to decide which one. Both were great. Just beer and wine though, no hard... More

Recommended by Islamorada locals. Fresh daily catch selections, served up five or six ways to suit everyone's pallet. Just ask Shell for advice. She will let you know how to put the while package together including the wine. Michael's does not look like much by day BUT go no matter what you think. It's all about the FOOD, and the... More

We were thoroghly entertained by the staff and the food was simply amazing. I am a huge lobster lover. This was my first time having it fried. Awesome! Everything was perfectly seasoned. Will be back soon!

Chef Michael's was a culinary delight! He can even make vegan dishes upon request. Just call ahead! The atmosphere was lovely, with a great porch area and a charming, quaint indoor area.
