Me and My Husband decided to try out Michael’s for the ball drop on New Year’s Eve 2024. We had the best night of our lives here. The food was incredible, The service was amazing and the place was packed and fun. We also didn’t want to judge this place by this one night considering it’s New Year’s Eve, and it was packed and it could be a little hectic and crazy because of the holiday, but they did not disappoint at all. We are still talking about how amazing this whole experience was. The whole feel of the restaurant was just perfect. The food was absolutely fantastic, and everything came out in perfect timing. Our waiter John was outstanding and made us feel very welcomed. There was live music which made the night even more perfect, and the decor was phenomenal. I also love that we could get very dressed up and how classy this place is. We will be returning on January 20th for my birthday celebration. 🎉 and I can’t wait.

****Michael's Of Brooklyn Restaurant****

Hello, I am MR. BIG RED, and I want to share what a Great Night on The Town, I had last evening, with my friend, Scott Ruscillo. We dined/partied at Michael's of Brooklyn Restaurant, and immediately were made to feel at home, as we were treated like Kings!!! The ambiance is very warm, classy, spacious, yet quite comfortable. The food is absolutely exquisite, scrumptious, delicious, dish after dish, course after course, with beautiful presentations.

We started off with a Campari & Soda with Lemon, and a Bourbon Concoction from the Cocktail Menu. More Campari, and a Tangueray Negroni followed. Then Scotty and I sampled: The Chilled Crabmeat Cocktail & delightful Fried Calamari Appetizers. For the entrées, my Boy had a perfectly cooked Medium Rare Filet Mignon, with Asparagus. I chose The House Special, a melt-in-your-mouth Veal Chop Parmigiana, with a side of Spaghetti Bolognese.

Two and a half hours into our meal, we made room for dessert. Scott had the largest Lobster Tail, stuffed with Whipped Creme and drizzled with Chocolate Ganache Sauce, that I've ever seen. He paired that with a Frangelico Coffee. I had an Assorted Sherbet dish with 5 Amazing flavors of Sherbet, and paired that with a Double Espresso and Romana Sambvca......

I purposely parked two blocks away, in Marine Park, Brooklyn, as I knew I would need a stroll after this tremendous dinner, and I have no problem walking City Streets around Midnight, even though I'm carrying a Louis Vuitton "Murse" clutch. My friends know what I bring to the party.....LoLoLoLoLoL.

My dear friends, Matthew Mari, Esq. (Famous Defense Attorney), and Billionaire Businessman, Political Talk Show Host, John Catsimatidis and a whole host of politicians also dine here. As a former Finance Chairman of The New York Conservative Party, I can see why. Additionally, I understand that this is a favorite restaurant of Andrew Dice Clay's and of Joe Piscopo's, amongst a whole host of other celebrities. The Management; Chef, Kitchen Staff and Waitstaff are most Attentive, Amazing and Uber Professional. Michael, John and their Staff made our visit to Michael's simply I N C R E D I B L E ! ! ! I highly recommend this establishment. YOU WILL NEED TO MAKE RESERVATIONS. Ask for Michael, and tell him MR. BIG RED from Table #1 at Park Side sent you....Bon Appétit, my friends!!! Thank you to all of the Great Folks at Michael's for making our "Boy's Night Out" a Spectacular one, across the board. We'll be regulars!!!

Kindest regards,

MR. BIG RED

I picked up some decadent biscotti at their bakery across the street. My parents told me about this establishment and they have eaten here as early as the 1970s.

I picked up the almond biscotti. It had plenty of nuts and a nice sweet vanilla/cinnamon flavor. This flavor will definitely compliment a shot of espresso beautifully. I did take one star away as I felt that the biscotti was too hard to be eaten without dipping it in a cup of coffee. Still a solid score. Everything else in the store looked delicious.

This is a true Brooklyn Italian bakery. Next time, I'll try the restaurant.
