The Nickel Tour

Previously located on Cuna Street in St. Augustine, Michael's has since moved to its new home at Vilano Beach. Critically acclaimed chef Michael Lugo remains at the helm, ensuring a consistently remarkable dining experience.

The relaxing ambience at Michael's is set by its famous piano bar, with a rotating slate of exceptional performers treating guests to light music as they dine and converse in a spacious and decorative dining room.

Beyond its sumptuous and compelling menu, Michael's has an eye-catching wine library, an ideal way to preview the wine list before making a selection. The table settings, food, decor, and service all emphasize a refined style that's unmatched by competing establishments.
