The go-to standard infamous for its small plates of food on big plates of china, Michael’s is a Westside institution with more than 25 years of service under its belt. Chef Michael McCarty still supervises the eponymous resto’s California-cuisine menu, which turns out fresh and seasonal dishes. Definitely eat outside on the patio as it’s a quiet garden getaway.
