Michael's On The Alley

Came here for a post engagement celebratory dinner with some friends and it did not disappoint. My steak was made to perfection and the sides were great. I recommend the Mac and cheese and/or the baked potato. Service was great and the wine that we had was just what the doctor ordered. If you’re looking for a good more pricey night out you can’t go wrong

Absolutely lovely restaurant. The atmosphere is wonderful. We went during restaurant week. I did not give this restaurant a 5 star review as the food was all very salty. The only item that was seasoned perfectly and not to salty was the filet (which was amazing). The accompaniments to the steak and our She Crab Soup appetizer were all very salty. The dessert was delicious and a perfect ending to our evening meal. I would recommend this establishment but be prepared for a high sodium intake. We will definitely give Michael's another try at a later date. Our waitress was courteous and attentive.

Amazing food. The truffle fries were delicious. I will say I was a little disappointed with the preparation of the Wagyu however I will say I have only had it prepared in a Japanese style. It just seemed a little over cooked for my taste. The atmosphere was great, the wine selection is top notch and the main course was delicious. I would certainly recommend Michael's to anyone who wants a great steak dinner but doesn't want to deal with the crowds found Halls or Oak.

Great classic Chicago style steakhouse, leather booths, brick walls and classic crooners playing in the background. Had the restaurant week 3 course meal and it was fantastic. Did the Prime ribeye upgrade and it was worth every cent, perfect char on the outside, little to no seasoning, the wet aged Prime beef is the star here. The bread is fresh with house made butter, the She Crab soup was rich and full of crabmeat. And the dessert, a dark chocolate sour cherry torte was a perfect finish. My only knock was I ordered a medium rare steak and it came out way too rare, but this was rectified quickly. It was so good I can excuse it. Service was friendly and quick and cocktails enjoyable. Overall a great steakhouse that can complete with the big 2 around the corner.

What an amazing experience we had at Michael's on the Alley! We dined on Christmas Eve, and it was also our Wedding Anniversary! I can't say enough about Christina Couture! She was so helpful and accommodating our last minute reservations. When we met in person, I felt like I had known her forever. Our server Mark was exceptional! His service and attentiveness was beyond the ordinary. I had the prime rib and my guest had the filet and they were so delicious and tender. Our experience was beyond my expectations and I will highly recommend this amazing dining experience!!

Great steakhouse in Charleston. Beautiful interior and great service. Larger parties may be seated in some awkward table design though. Not a solid 5 as I believe Burwell’s food (a similar steakhouse in price, location, and atmosphere) had a more refined flavor. At this price level, why not go with perfection?

The service, the decor, the ambience, the food, the staff...everything was top notch and perfect. From the moment my husband and I walked in, we were given exactly the right amount of attention. The staff was personable, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. We shared a Cesar salad and a tomato crab bisque. The salad was vibrant and fresh, and the soup was loaded with crab. We both had the dry-aged bone-in cut steak with sides of asparagus and wild mushrooms, and it was all perfection. Afterwards, we couldn't resist dessert. Between the flourless chocolate torte and the carrot cake, the torte was my favorite. The chocolate was smooth and luscious. Even the coffee was spot on. Thank you all for a perfect night. And a special shout out goes to Hillary and Mark for exceptional table service and for helping make our evening a happy one.

This place was great! We had a steak and it was cooked to perfection. The sides we had were equally as amazing - Asparagus, Lobster mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, and brussel sprouts. The creamed spinach was ok, just needed some seasoning - salt perhaps? Anyway...Great service and a Christmas Eve to remember! :)
