Salads and Appetizers to Start the Night

The salad selection at Michy’s gives guests a few different ways to begin the meal, from a roasted golden and red beet salad with baby spinach, pistachios, goat cheese, mint, and lemon to a classic Caesar with shaved reggiano parmesan, anchovy, and crispy crostini.

For something more traditional, the iceberg wedge brings creamy buttermilk bleu cheese dressing, applewood-smoked bacon, grape tomatoes, bleu cheese, and scallions.

The appetizer menu adds more range to the table. Warm marinated Italian olives bring a simple, savory start with herbs, garlic, lemon zest, fennel seed, and red wine. 

Flash-fried calamari comes with a Szechuan-style garlic chili sauce, sesame seeds, peanuts, scallions, and lemon mayo.

Guests can also start with firecracker shrimp, Hawaiian-style tuna poke, or a rustic artisan baguette. 

It is the kind of appetizer lineup that works whether you are sharing a few plates with the table or building your own full meal from the starters.

Handcrafted Cocktails and a Full Bar

Michy’s is not just about the food. The bar menu gives guests a strong reason to arrive early, stay a little longer, or make dinner feel like a night out.
