In a nutshell the pork chop came rare (gross), the ravioli came hard and cold in the center and our waiter lied to us by saying that the bottle of wine we'd brought with us was on their wine list and therefore could not be opened (for the $15 corkage fee) and we'd have to buy a bottle off the... more

Ths is a very good restaurant. The service was good but it was not quite at the level expected for fine dining. Everyone in our large party thoroughly enjoyed their dishes. The rotating menu does limit choices but it ensures freshness and creativity, and variety if you come again. Christian Michaels is in the same league as Fifth Street Steakhouse... more

I went to this restaurant, and the overall experience was horrible. The waitress had no interest in seeing if we were taken care of , and for how pricey it is, I expect more! The food was not bad, but I would not go back. more

For a smaller town like Chico, this restaurant was exceptional and equal to any finer restaurant in Houston, where I live. The atmosphere was very upscale, sophisticated and trendy. The lighting was perfect. The white linen and crystal stood out under the lighting. Maybe it was the holiday season lighting, candlelighting along with the open windows to the outside sidewalks,... more

What a disappointment. I took my son (student at CSUChico) and my wife on a Friday evening. After being seated we waited nearly 10 minutes before our server came to take a drink order. When she brought our drinks she started to leave and we quickly said, "can we get an appetizer order in?" We were afraid we'd lose her... more

Had a dinner party for 12 scheduled in their banquet room, contract and all. Invitation alreay out. Rec'd an email stating the room was now almost doubled, a minimum number in party was also changed. They wanted to book an additional event on the same day, pretty much got a better deal with a bigger party, and ours wasn't as... more

I have eaten there before and was never impressed. This time the food was great and the waitress was friendly but our food took forever to arrive and there were only four tables in the whole place so it should not have. I am more likely to go go back now than I have been in the past. On my... more

I went early for the early 3 course menu. Food was near excellent, my meat was verry fatty but was a large cut and was good. the choclate desert was small but the taste was so large that it was more than enough. I would recommend christian michaels and will return on my next trip to chico. The bar also... more

I had been to Christian Michaels a few times before and had always been impressed, so I had no qualms about making reservations for a party of six who were getting together in Chico. I have to say that I was surprised and disappointed. Maybe there was a substitute chef on May 2. I had some of the most bland... more
