Hands down, BEST diner in Astoria... and I had a semi-bad-experience!! (Read on).\r
Went in for the first time this past weekend - I was excited to check it out and walk right by uncle george's. (They're horribly rude in there). When we got into Michael's everyone was super-friendly. We waited quite some time for our waitress, but once she got to us, she was downright pleasant. The bread came out and was a bit stale, but the appetizer was to-die-for... fresh ingredients, DELICIOUS! Then... the salad.... oh my, I'll dream about that salad. Not sure what they have in their italian vinegrette, but I'm dreaming of it. It was fantastic!! Main course - my husband ordered the filet mignon and loved it, I ordered stuffed chicken something and unfortunately had a part of the chicken uncooked.... (it's a serious sized breast, so it didn't cook long enough). It was fine, because they were extremely apologetic, offered to make me one to take home, etc. I really didn't need it and was fine, but the sides were even worth dancing about.... seriously, if you haven't tried Michael's, you should - My big recommendation, just don't order stuffed chicken. \r

Have some patience & the food will make up for anything else that could go wrong. We were even happy to see they had the football (soccer) game on!\r

Pros: convenient location and DELICIOUS FOOD!!!!!!!
Cons: one bad experience with chicken, but I'll be back.
