For my #10 birthday dinner we decided to try out a new place that a couple worker had recommended which is Michaels on East. The owner Michael has a mo they Epicurean Pre Fixe menu that changes every month. For the month of April the menu was an Israeli menu.
Upon entry, you will see Michael's has an absolutely beautiful twinkle light patio which is where I took some photos after dinner.
The restaurant is very large and inviting, but upscale. We had a really great rime there and the owner Michael even came out to chat with my husband and I. We were informed by he and our waitress that he actually flew all the way to Israel and sourced the food and spices for the menu.
I was quite happy with the complementary pappadam which is from what I can tell always gluten free. On this night I did come there for the lobster boil which was only available on Fridays and that night they didn't have it. In retrospect I wish I had asked what was gluten-free on the Israeli menu because my husband loved his food.
At the end of dinner I was presented with a slice of gluten-free crumble cake and vanilla Gelato which I must say was absolutely delicious! The cakes and breads are baked in house there and you could not even tell the crumble cake was gluten-free. It reminded me a lot of a coffee cake to be honest.
Anyway, This was a wonderful experience and I was so glad we got to try this place out. We are definitely keeping it on our radar because we love curated meals and pre fixe meals.

Alright, so my husband always raves about the food he had in Israel so when I saw the menu I knew I had to go there, I wasn't able to go to Israel with him, but like, I am a foodie and I am always excited for him and for him to have food that reminds him of his trips.

WHAT I HAD:
This was not exactly what I was expecting, but still good.
They prepared it gluten free, but you really do need the crispy bread for it.
*Tuna appetizer, I had this as my meal because I wanted the seafood platter, but it wasn't available that night.
This had to be prepared gluten free also.
Side item: Gluten free prepared mushrooms (very good)
