MICHAEL'S ON EAST RESTAURANT:  Celebrating our 35th year!

Founded on April 27, 1987, the celebrated Michael’s On East restaurant takes fine dining to another level, offering award-winning cuisine and outstanding service in an exceptional 1940s supper club atmosphere. Michael’s On East was one of only 10 restaurants in the nation to be inducted into the 2009 Nation’s Restaurant News Fine Dining Hall of Fame, considered the Oscars of the restaurant industry. The restaurant is a multi-year recipient of the AAA Four-Diamond Award, and is a multi-year recipient of Wine Spectator's distinguished "Best of Award of Excellence." In 2012, U.S. Airways Magazine selected Michael’s On East as an East Coast Icon.

Now a part of Sarasota’s history, partners Michael Klauber and Phil Mancini have built their unmatched reputation for exceptional service and inspired cuisine on the principle that “each guest should be treated the way they expect to be treated." The Sarasota culinary duo have been recognized regionally and internationally for dedication in helping more than 500 nonprofit organizations throughout Sarasota and Manatee Counties, and giving back more than one million-plus dollars through in-kind donations, contributions and partnerships. 

Located at 1212 East Avenue South in Midtown Plaza, the iconic fine dining restaurant is open for dinner 5 p.m. to close Tuesday through Saturday. Michael’s Lounge opens at 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, featuring happy hour specials from 5-7 p.m. The restaurant is closed on Sundays, with the exception of Easter and Mother’s Day each year.  The restaurant’s Private Dining Room can accommodate up to 48 guests. Reservations for the restaurant are accepted online or can be made via phone.
