Il Michelangelo Weston — Restaurant in Weston-super-Mare

Waited 35 minutes to be seated even though we were booked in, not too bothered about this though as I understand Christmas day is busy. Service and atmosphere always good, friendly staff but due to a crowded restaurant things we asked for and ordered were wrong a lot of the time. We weren’t greeted with an amuse bouche as stated on the menu, they simply didn’t come. I ordered the pan fried Scallops, one of which was undercooked, and were meant to come with caviar, which I didn’t get. For £95 a head, I already feel ripped off. Next I went for the rib eye, which came with one potato, 3 carrots, was unseasoned and had no bearnaise sauce. One of the children on the table asked for his steak without sauce and I’ve come to now realise this must of been interpreted as everyone’s steak without sauce? I don’t know. I ate a dry steak and a few carrots. I wish I’d got the turkey dinner which someone on my table ordered because I tried some and it was lovely. They didn’t have the dessert I wanted which was on the menu so had to settle with one that wasn’t. It was decent, a little rich and sweet but decent. I received maybe 50% of what was promised to me on the menu, came away wishing I’d just done Christmas dinner myself and still had the cash in my pocket. As a student it’s more difficult to splash out that amount for a meal, especially when you leave completely disappointed. Previous times I’ve been here before I’ve enjoyed it, Potentially overbooking caused all these issues but...

We went here twice. At first time starter mix of seafood salad was soo fresh and delicious, something tomatoey on toast was also delicious. On the main menu steak was brilliant, baby cow meat totally waste of money. It comes huge looking coated batter piece, and then you slice it to eat there is nothing in there, you slice more and more and finally you find hair thing like meat in there. If taste was delicious it could be tolerable but taste wasnt also good. Also we had raviolle it was good, it comes 4 piece for £16. I loved the taste, it was beetrooty flaovur, It looks so small but at the end of 4 piece I can of had enough.

For the second time we were 4 people, except one of us, who eat steak, was very not satisfied with the food. I had king prawns as a starter, was recommended by the waiter, he absolutely said this is the top quality have it…. Prawn wasnt fresh, it weirdly mushed crumbled in my mouth and zero taste. I gave it to friend to get the idea, aldo didnt taste anything. That was very sad. For main I had chicken something, chicken was very soft but there is no enough juice in the plate, I couldnt swallow. Sauce was tasty but needed more. Other one had Crap, very small and not very top quality. If you really want to go there have steak, both time that was brialliant. And ofcourse tiramisu was so good. Note: there is so limited car space, but there is car park near by(...

We've been here a few times in the past few years and always enjoyed it very much (please see earlier reviews). However, last night , a Friday, to say we're disappointed would be an understatement. We booked well in advance and asked for a quiet table...yes, I know it was a Friday night, but the noise level when we entered was astonishing with three large parties of upwards of 24 people each in them, and clearly copious amounts of alcohol were being consumed by all concerned. There were several couples like us who appeared to have expected something different. The noise level made it impossible to have a conversation between two people across a table. Our table was not ready and it was suggested we have a drink at the bar whilst waiting. Unfortunately, the bar now has no seating area and we were soon joined by another large group drinking there. We received no complementary drinks in lieu of the delay. The maitre d' was trying his best to take care of all his customers but he was up against uncontrollable odds and his staff looked frazzled. We ate starters and mains which were served cool and declined desserts so we could regain our hearing in the quiet of the sea front outside. A very disappointing experience which will take us...
