    At first glance, Michael's Restaurant appears to be just another average structure long fixed on Hwy 11 that will add up to nothing more than filling your hunger.

    But when the door opens, you're literally gawking as your eyes drift around the room. Cloth tables professionally set with wine glasses, cloth napkins and a flower center.

    Once seated with drink order placed, you begin serious reading of the menu and think, "Can this guy really create all these entrees?" But it's too late, you're there, seated, hungry and ready to go for it!

    It's not Commander's Palace (which is more a hullabaloo than an appetite pleaser). Delmonico's runs through your head and Crescent City Steakhouse; Tony Angelos; Brennans, etc. So naturally, you would never expect a small place on Hwy 11, not far from an old bridge, to measure up to the standards of famous New Orleans restaurants.

    Well, Expect it! Michael's Restaurant is the best. All the others cannot compare to the perfection of his menu nor the taste pleaser of his meals. You will definitely think as you are leaving the restaurant, "Where has this guy been all of my life!"

    By far the best restaurant in Slidell. Michael's signature steak is phenominal-filet stuffed with blue cheese and a cherry gastrique. It is the most delicious steak money can buy.
    But the excellence doesn't stop there-a wide variety of veal dishes, fresh fish, and the most wonderful duck I have ever had.

    Anyone living in or near Slidell needs to find this gem.

    I found this place by accident the first time. The next time I want to try everything on the menu. My meal was EXCELLENT. I had the cajun eggplant with etouffee over a bed of pasta. My turtle soup was also very good. I just wish I lived closer to Slidell.
