Michael's Gourmet Room

Every time I frequent this restaurant, I am reminded of how great this special place is compared to all the other fine dining establishments. It is a classy place and hopefully not ruined by uncouth guests. Yes, the service is a rare 6 stars dining experience, especially for the value. The food quality is top notch. Some may find it bland because of their basic seasoning, but I find that I can actually taste the quality of each dish. I like how the additional food accoutrements are included in each course. Tip: Be prepared for the best desert cart ever!

I've been to Las Vegas many times. I've traveled a lot and eaten at many high end restaurants, even spent time working in the business in my younger days.That being said Michael's is at the top of the ladder. An Award Winning Fine Dining Restaurant period.It's been open in Vegas for 40 years although now off The Strip at the South Point Casino & Resort. Great story behind the family, specifically Michael who really put his heart into his namesake.Call asap as it could take months for that perfect weekend 7pm reservation.Located through an ornately decorated door in a blank wall near the casino with no windows at all. Seating for approx 50 guests in a gorgeous atmosphere of high backed chairs, an exquisite stained glass ceiling, in a quiet dining room.No diners allowed under 12 years old. This is a place to have a special event or a delicious meal without having a bother in the world.....contentment while dining. Business attire.Dinner can take a few hours with it's courses.Our party of four was given a crudites platter to get us started. We then had soups and Cesar salads. ( Cesars, de-boning of fish, and some desserts are prepared table side.)One of the best Cesars I have ever had.We had an array of appetizers....The Coquille St. Jacques ( think a scallop souffle) and Sauteed Fresh Mushrooms à la Crème were very good. ( A LOT of cream sauce on those mushrooms)But the Baked Escargot ala Michael was superb. After the Apps came a complimentary course of lemon sorbet with mint & champagne to cleanse the palate. Perfect!Our array of Entrees were all large portions and cooked \ served simply the best way they could be. A meal fit for a king, a queen, and their court.--Double Rib Spring Lamb Chops -- Fresh Sea Bass Sauté, with Buttered Leeks and Dill -- Imported Fresh Dover Sole Meuniere All excellent and plentiful.There is a dessert cart. They prepare bananas foster & cherries jubilee table-side as well. We were given a complimentary bowl of fresh fruit as well.Also expect the very best in wines & spirits. Expect to spend $ too but value wise it's all worth it.Whether you can go here for a special event or just a Friday night dinner like we did, if you are a true Foodie, that has class ( yes I had to say it) then you will love Michael's.I'll be back.

This place is a hidden gem. The room has an old school vegas feel with lux decor and red booths. It is true fine dining with proper service that makes you feel like royalty. Amazing food but even better dessert. Get the bananas foster (made tableside) and thank me later!!

Ready to be wowed. My partner has been to Michael's for about a decade now for every trip he's had to Vegas with his family. I thought "no way this restaurant is that good". Boy was a wrong, this restaurant floored me in every way. We were first welcomed into the red carpeted restaurant on a Friday dinner for our reservation by a friendly host to our table, which was directly under the beautiful stained glass dome. Then greeted by our server for drinks and starters. I asked for a glass of red wine and oh my, the wine was not only good, but the glass was as big as my HEAD. They also had complimentary Dom Perignon for all of us. They had free bread service and charcuterie board to start. Then we ordered our respective dishes. 4 starters in, my partner got a bowl of tomato soup, which I normally don't like, but this one from here, was out of this world. Once my partner's dad and I said out loud we liked the soup and was starry eyed over the soup. Literally 5 seconds later we were handed soup spoons by the staff with our own soups... OUR OWN SOUPS. These soups weren't even included in our final bill. Not only their soup was amazing, their main courses were insane. Their sea bass was among the best I've ever had, with such a good crust and flaky meat. Their banana foster was also one of my favorite desserts on the trip, again, I hate banana desserts, but Michael somehow made it into the best dessert even a hater can't even turn away. Highly recommend this place to everyone to experience. They flambé their banana and cook some other dishes table side. Women didn't have prices on their menu when the men do. They're very old school, but they know how to wow and do their food right.

What a beautiful restaurant this was. We celebrated my husband's birthday here and we were super impressed by everything. It was a truly and old school experience...it was a little overwhelming at first because there is so much brought to you when you first sit down, relish tray, bread, crisp bread...the woman's menu had no prices haha! Everything was so delicious and service was impeccable! Such a fun experience!

My Christmas wish and present was to have dinner at Michael's so we got a reservation on second Christmas Day. It was amazing. I removed my review from two years ago which was not good and I now have changed my opinion simply because I made better choices and the service was also better.We arrived ten minutes early and were seated asap. It's a nice experience as like you are royalty: you have 3 servers (one main, one assistant and second assistant / bidder).You immediately get water and a plate of all pickled vegetables and quail eggs. This with two types of crackers. I love the flowers of butter however would be great with bread.We ordered and the scampi diavolo came out fast which was heated at the table. Amazing sauce. The Caesar salad was next which is made from scratch at the table even the dressing is made right there. Amazing flavors!!! Recommended!!!Before the main the typically European palet cleanser of lemon sorbet came out which they topped off with moet Chandon. I love it, amazingly good. something common in Europe but rare here and very enjoyed! As main we got the veal saltimboca and sea bass. Both were amazing. Again, As a European I love leak which is so common with us and rare in the USA. Everything was excellent. I do not care for the tomato with breadcrumbs on at all, it's not good in my personal opinion.Super full but we got the tiramisu because I love it. However this place does not make it with mascarpone as that's the correct way. Everything else about it is on point: lady fingers, coffee and liqueurs however they use whipped cream on top.We had some drinks and were showered with the fruit basket and chocolate covered assortment and then some chocolate coins came with the check.It is super expensive but it's in the service and all the complimentary extras which makes it not unreasonable.Enjoyed it very much especially you'll be often lucky to see a celebrity here just like we did:)The prices have not changed in the past years.(I removed my previous review as it was not good. However I can tell I was not pleased with the gratin dauphinois and the coquilles Saint Jacques)

I want to thank your staff for a wonderful dinner on January 12, 2025 our 50th wedding anniversary. There were 11 of us. The service was impeccable, the restaurant is old Las Vegas, and our guests are still raving about the food. You are our go to place for special occasions. Thank you!!!

Amazing experience! We're seasoned servers on the strip and this place made me feel like we don't do enough at our own jobs lol .. As soon as there was a pepper stem on our plate, it was taken away with tongs. There was a moet Chandon sorbet palette cleanser between our appetizer and entree (which was so fresh you can taste the lemon peels). There was a finger bowl for us wash our fingers with at the end of our meal. Like, it all didn't feel real, the ambiance felt like we were on the titanic lol.The staff was all knowledgeable and polite; albeit I have ONE complaint. The (Filipino?) guy who greeted us literally said "ready for drinks?" without any greetings (like you're at McDonald's lol) and when I asked for a drink menu he kinda looked at me as if I should know they don't offer drink menus (he literally could've said we offer a wine list and also have a full bar but he didn't. Anyway we never saw him again after that)..regardless I won't take a point away for that because the food, ambiance, and the rest of the staff was 10/10! we will be back!

This was one of the better places I've ate at in Las Vegas. I was a little bummed they don't add points to my card but the service and the meal were second to none. They even had bookers bourbon which is always extra points from me. We had both the French onion and Tomato soup, a bone-in filet as well as a bone-in ribeye, creamed spinach, baked potato and carrots. Their dessert was good and the pre entree snacks are different. I've been plenty restaurants in general in my time. This was one of the better and lived up to accolades I've heard are associated with them.

This experience was beyond anything I had ever imagined and worth EVERY cent! From the moment we entered Michael's Gourmet Room @ The South Point Hotel and Casino I was in pure amazement the Captain immediately greeted us, seated us and began chatting with us and introducing his crew that would be taking care of us that night. The food presentation was out of this world, the taste was spectacular and the portions were enough for 2 to 3 people. It was a 3 hour dining experience that I will never forget.
