Michael's Restaurant Launches Launches New 'All Night' $6 Happy Hour

Michael McCarty, hailed as a pioneer of California cuisine and known for his personal connections to local growers of the best seasonal ingredients at the farmers’ market, introduces an “All Night” $6 Happy Hour starting February 21, 2012. Executive Chef John-Carlos Kuramoto- has created the happy hour menu featuring the best seasonal ingredients from the Santa Monica Farmers’ Market; and acclaimed mixologist Jason Robey complements the menu with his farm-to-glass cocktails featuring seasonal herbs and fruits grown on Michael’s new rooftop garden, along with fresh produce from the farmers’ market.

Michael’s “All Night” $6 happy hour menu will be offered Monday through Friday from 5 PM to close. All of the happy hour menu items are $6 each, with the exception of fresh oysters on the half-shell for $3 each.

Through the happy hour menu, Michael’s provides “an affordable snapshot, a window into the kind of food that we do,” says General Manager Andrew Turner. Items you can find on the Michael’s Happy Hour menu range from a refreshing Salad of Radishes from Weiser Farms with Cucumber, Crispy Shallots, and Yogurt Vinaigrette; to Jidori “Chicken and Waffle” Wings, crispy chicken wings slathered in bourbon-aged maple syrup, counterpointed with chili salt; to Truffle-Thyme Frites, a bar bite standard done with the intriguing twist of the shoestring potatoes Michael’s regulars know and love.”
