Michael John's French American Steakhouse

For the price you would think you are in fine dining. This was not the case for us. 2 feet away from the bar and kitchen, 3 feet away from a table of 10+ celebrating a birthday, and the staff obviously shorthanded. We were put in a room that seemed like an overflow room even though we had made a reservation literally weeks in advance. The specials were OK but the caprese salad was advertised as having basil and came with a little squirt of pesto on it which is not what goes on a caprese salad. They did refund it though so that was nice as we didn 't eat it. The baked brie was good. The rest was overpriced for the food/atmosphere/experience. A meal for two with two drinks and tip was over $170. I made this reservation for a 7 year anniversary and likely won 't come back based on the prices and mostly the atmosphere/experience. Nobody wants to spend their anniversary listening to the kitchen/bar and another table 3 feet away celebrating a birthday with 10+ people. It overall was disappointing. For the price I recommend going to Flemings or Connors. Dietary restrictions: If you have nut allergies, do not order the caprese salad as they use pesto instead of basil and pesto has pine nuts in it.

Overall I expected better for the price. I want to start off by saying that the service was excellent. Waters at the table before we sat down, our dishes promptly removed as we finished eating, and overall just a friendly staff that makes for a pleasant atmosphere. However, the rest of the experience fell flat. I ordered a manhattan over rocks and was surprised when it arrived with crushed ice... not a huge deal, though, as you may expect it watered my drink down quickly so the window to enjoy the spirit was limited. Then our food came, I ordered the Shrimp Scampi Pasta. The paramasan cream sauce was not what I was expecting... it was light, but not a super creamy sauce I was hoping for and had an overall acidic taste to every bite. I think the lemon really over powered the sauce. It was still good enough to eat, it just wasn't my favorite. The real problem then lies with the shrimp... they were over cooked and chewy. I eat a lot of shrimp at home and away, and you shouldn't struggle to put a fork through it. My wife ordered the chicken marsala, which we both found to be quite good. For two of us, two entrees and a drink each ordering on the cheaper side of the menu the total was $120 with tip. I've had better considering the price in the area. The staff and chicken marsala saved this review from a 1 star, as both of the items I ordered were unpleasant.
