I'm an avid TripAdvisor user and came across Michael's on the Thames in London, a restaurant I have been to many times since it opened, which must have been over 25 years ago. I was there again recently with my family, and want to comment on the great service and food. In my view, this restaurant is in a class... more

Maybe I'm just spoiled because the filet was average at best. The service was great for a fine dining restaurant. But maybe I have become too picky with my steaks because I have had better cuts at the keg. And it seems that everyone in the restaurant was celebrating a birthday or anniversary. If this is the best steakhouse in... more

Had our wedding in the captains room. We had excellent service and the staff went above and beyond our expectations! The food and service were excellent and the assistant manager was a joy to work with. They accommodated guests with special dietary needs, and menu requests, and we received compliments on the whole affair. Service, food and atmosphere were all... more

A 30th wedding anniversary is no small thing and we were looking for an appropriate fine dinning experience to celebrate. In London visiting family for the week, Michael’s on the Thames was recommended. It had, we were told, at least a couple of the things we were looking for: good food and relative quiet. One of our biggest pet peeves... more

Had a friend over from England and his last night was spent with my wife and I at this establishment... needless to say everything was going well and the evening was enjoyed by all as we all ate the same items. UNTIL the next morning... first my wife and then at noon it was me, sicker than a dog... then... more

We had heard great things about this restaurant, so when we were given a gift certificate, we were excited to try it. Sadly, we left saying we didn't understand what all the fuss was about and we would probably not go back. The decor looks dated; it was probably very classy at one time, but now it just looks kind... more

This restaurant feels dated. The food is below average and expensive for what you get. more

Everything is excellent here - you truly get what you pay for. Superb, upscale food. Some tables overlook the river, others overlook the fireplace - the live piano adds to the atmosphere. We only come here for very very special occasions. Our favorite fine dining establishment of all time by far. more

I had Surf and Turf. Steak was perfect, lobster was so delicious and my Caesar salad was amazing. I had Cherries Jubilee for dessert and it was great. Most entertaining waiter, cook and manager ever! They were all so nice and fun! Manager will sing if asked. Piano playing made nice atmosphere. Loved it! Wish I could afford it. more
