My wife and I were visiting Lexington for two nights, and luckily we decided to eat dinner both nights at Cafe Michel. We have traveled throughout the states and a number of places abroad and Cafe Michel competes with the best. The food and service was wonderful and we loved the atmosphere. When the chef/owner comes out (both nights) and... more

Spent 112 for 2, my husbands steak was overcooked, needed lots of steak sauce, he ordered it medium. Dessert was a big disappointment. Pecan pie, not special, my crepe, was really poor, tasted old. Salad was skimpy, flavors didn't blend. Expected more quality, didn't expect to leave hungry. more

I arranged to have a corporate dinner for 30 here in their private room. We arrived early and they were ready to receive us. Everything was exactly as ordered. The service was excellant, above and beyond! The food was well beyond expectation. We will definelty use them again. more

I can't believe this wonderful restaurant exists in this small town. It is as good as any that I have found in Europe. True French cooking, with American portions. Ambiance is quiet and professional. Service is always outstanding. Prices are very reasonable. This is a real treat! more

My husband and I went for dinner on a Saturday night. It was not especially crowded with several tables empty. I had the lobster bisque which was very bland and my husband had a salad which was fine. For the main course I ordered the prime rib. The waitress told me that the chef was having a problem with the... more

First of all the interior is cheesey. I think they kept much of the faux finish paint, tables and chairs from the last eaterie that was in the same place. Love that they have starched linens, though. Too bad they never scrap the crumbs. The menu is pricey and ridiculous. I found some of the sauces very nice, but the... more

With some careful thought, I selected Cafe Michel in Lexington, VA, to host my husband's surprise 40th birthday party. Prior to the engagement, I had continual and prompt correspondence with the owners regarding menu selections for the guests, seating arrangments, decorative suggestions, as well as contact recommendations for the decorations and cake. I was able to come to the restaurant... more
