Michael's in Slidell

We live in Slidell, where our favorite restaurant is Michael's. We recently dined there to celebrate our anniversary. My husband had their specialty dish, the Black Forest filet mignon--the most delicious thing either of us had ever tasted. The combination of the salty blue cheese and the sweet cherry-Shiraz reduction with the beef was perfectly satisfying.

I had the regular filet mignon, by far the best I ever had. It was perfectly grilled to medium rare and had a wonderful flavor, though it was not seasoned. We started with the turtle soup, which was also delicious and packed with real turtle meat. We finished with a sinful white chocolate bread pudding.

The service was remarkably professional( the lady who served us has been there for as long as we can remember) and the atmosphere was charming. We were fortunate enough to enjoy the sounds of a live jazz guitarist on the night of our visit. Michael's is now offering the full pre-Katrina menu, as well as a swank martini menu and an extensive wine list. I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our evening there, and we are definately looking forward to going back to enjoy our favorites from the full menu.

Michael's. Slidell: 4820 Pontchartrain Dr.. 985-649-8055.
