    I dine at Michael’s fairly often. On this occasion my husband and I ordered the tilefish entree, prawn appetizer and gem lettuce. That was one of the best fish dishes I have ever had. All the dishes were superb; the chef and kitchen staff is truly outstanding.

    We received or normal warm welcome from Mark, Maria and the team at Glass & Vine. Its hard to beat the ambience sitting under trees at the edge of a park by the ocean. The service was excellent and the "relatively" new menu has some great dishes, Try the Hamachi Tartare which is fresh and with a refreshing citrus zing, the Branzino was perfectly cooked and the watermelon salad added a refreshing element. The live music complimented the atmosphere and was just at the correct sound level for us. All in all, a very enjoyable Saturday evening
