    Love Chef Michaels. So much so, that we ate there 3 nights in a row. Fantastic menu but you must try the Lion fish. Delicious and you are helping eliminate this threat to the reefs.

    Best dining experience in the keys is at the bar at Chef Michaels. Dave keeps the wine and conversation flowing. The food is impeccable.

    Get the tuna app and listen for what fish will hold up to the nuts topping because it is great. If Shell is working, sit in her section!
