michael's on the thames

disappointing!. my husband and i use to go there for our anniversaries. the food was skimpy and a little pricey but my husband enjoyed the atmosphere and jack's singing. on our 25th anniversary my husband requested our names be put up on the sign out front with "happy 25th anniversary" and was assured that it would be there. we pulled up that night and my husband looked at both sides of the sign and it was not there. he was hugely disappointed and i told him that he should mention his disappointment but he refused and he's never wanted to go back so they lost some customers without even knowing it!

fancy dining. nice restaurant. food and service match the price. i proposed to my wife there!

excellent!. my friends and i went there for our annual christmas dinner. we had never been before but we will for sure be back. i had the shrimp cocktail to start and then the scallops carbonara. one of the best meals of my life! my husband had the prime rib and it was very tasty. the service was excellent.

excellent as always. my husband and i love this restaurant! first of all the food is consistently top notch! the chateaubriand for two is amazing, but the ceaser salad is awesome, the chicken dishes are very good, shrimp cocktail excellent too. i could go on and on. portions are plentiful and we always leave satisfied. we think the price is good for the quality of the food and service. you can actually have a conversation at your table unlike so many of the newer restaurants with high ceilings and cold decor. saturday nights there is live piano to set the mood too.

dropped in on a saturday evening with some friends. the atmosphere is great. they had live jazz music playing during the evening. the piano was a great addition to the ambience of the restaurant. the placing is perfect. we started off with the “tableside caesar salad”. they do everything to for your personal needs. great service. i ordered the “steak diane” and the “duckling a l’orange” which we’re both prepared by tableside. we also ordered the “bacon wrapped chicken supreme”. delicious food and great service. i can’t wait to visit again.

excellent over all...great quality of food..great place and very attentive service👌👏..very highly reccomended..youll enjoy very much in this place

we enjoyed a wonderful dinner here for our 34th anniversary! over the past 35 years we have had many fine meals at this restaurant and continue to be impressed by the consistent high quality of food and service.

food is delicious and portions are generous. the cesaer salad made table side was delicious and the chateaubriand for two was perfectly cooked. our only complaint was that we didn't have room for desert! it is a bit pricy but well worth it for a special occasion.

had a wonderful family dinner this evening. as always, excellent food with very attentive service. some nice additions to the menu as well. don't let the construction on york st. dissuade you. very easy to get there via thames st (from horton).

best dining experience in the city. better with smaller groups but service is always amazing. get their table side caesar salad and try a specialty coffee at desert time!

cute restaurant, interesting location close to downtown but away from the noise. decor is old but comfortable. food is pretty good, and the desserts are surprisingly good. i don't usually like the desert at restaurants but this one's impressed me twice with its dessert. very good service, experienced waitresses.

meh. i had dinner at the thames. this saturday easter weekend. i ordered the candied salmon and was very disappointed with the portion size of the salmon i recieved. the dish was pretty mediocre over all. i have had many meals at this restaurant usually i'm very satisfied with what i recieve.

what happened.

always great overall.

r. stone. very nice restaurant - food was excellent as well as the service

a trip is never complete without a fine dining experience in the city, and michael’s on the thames was selected as our destination to end the trip. server prepping for the meal at our table side. the restaurant is famous for their “at your table side” dishes such as their ceasar salad for two or the brome lake duckling a l’orange. because i’m not a fan of orange sauces, i decided to go with the duckling “au poivre” ($32.99) instead. the half duckling was served with a madeira peppercorn sauce, which is a perfect match for game meat. the duck skin was not crispy as described in the menu when arrived. the meat was also drier and more stringy than one would expect, especially when compared to regular pan-fried duck breasts. although the duck itself was not as good as expected, the twice baked potato that came with the dish was flavorful and moist. rating: 6/10. with the price this restaurant charges, i expected finer food.
