I had a great meal at Michy's in March. There was one big miss that night, and 2 dishes that i felt were underwhelming. Highlights: White Gazpacho - excellent. Great texture and mix of flavors. Probably the best dish of the night. I ordered a half portion. Seared Scallop over a Hearts of Palm salad w/ a very nice citrus vinagrette and a mix of citrus wedges. This was a special and it was excellent. The scallop was perfectly cooked and the salad had a great mix of sweet and tartness. Baked Alaska - this is a great dessert here and is well deserving of it's acclaim. The merengue was silky and light. Truffled Plenta w/ Poached Egg - great flavors and texture. Loved it. Excellent but uninspired: All three of the following dishes were great, but were not innovative in the least. Fall off the Bone Short Ribs - I think braised short ribs are hard to mess up. I made some the following week that were honestly just as tender and tasty. There just is nothing special about this dish but it is executed perfectly. Tuna Tartare - same as above. We shouldn't have ordered this. It was just great tuna well prepared. Steak Frite - Nothing special at all about this dish. Well executed though. The fries were perefectly done. The steak was a piece of skirt steak. meh. Dissappointing (big miss): Wahoo Paella - this dish was just bad. I would have sent it back but everything else was great and it was one of the last dishes delivered and it was only a half portion and we were pretty full anyway. The rice was incredibly crunchy and hard. It seems as if she is really changing her menu a lot. A number of the items shown on this thread recently were not on the menu back then in March. I had really wanted to try the Jamon and blue cheese croquettes but they were not on the menu when we went. In researching the items to eat this one was highlighted as a can't miss dish. I remember no mention of duck in the croquettes... maybe a newer addition? We will definately go back.
