About Michael's Seafood & Steakhouse

Michael's Seafood & Steakhouse is a fine-dining restaurant located in downtown Port Angeles, Washington, known for fresh Northwest seafood, quality steaks, and a curated wine and martini bar. The restaurant emphasizes local ingredients such as Dungeness crab and seasonal produce from the surrounding Olympic Peninsula, and offers a more upscale experience than many nearby casual spots. It also hosts private events and provides catering services for weddings, business functions, and special occasions.

A charge from Michael's Seafood & Steakhouse typically appears when you dine in at the restaurant, purchase drinks at the bar, or book catered events. Depending on your bank and card network, the descriptor may be shortened or partially truncated, which can result in something like “MICHAEL'S FINE SEQ” or similar on your statement. Tips added after the initial authorization, split checks, or bar tabs that are left open for part of the evening can cause the final posted amount to be higher than the original pending charge.

If you’re unsure about a charge, start by checking any receipts or email confirmations from a recent visit to Port Angeles or the Olympic Peninsula, especially dinners around the time of the charge. You can also call the restaurant directly using the phone number listed on their website to confirm the transaction date and amount, or ask for a copy of the receipt. If the restaurant doesn’t recognize the transaction, contact your card issuer to dispute the charge and request a new card in case of potential fraud.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my statement show “MICHAEL'S FINE SEQ” instead of Michael's Seafood & Steakhouse?

Card processors often shorten or truncate merchant names to fit character limits. In this case, “MICHAEL'S FINE SEQ” likely reflects Michael's Seafood & Steakhouse (a fine-dining seafood and steak restaurant near Sequim/Port Angeles). The date and location of the charge should line up with a visit to their Port Angeles restaurant.

What types of purchases usually generate charges from Michael's Seafood & Steakhouse?

Charges usually come from dining in the restaurant, opening a bar tab for cocktails or wine, or paying for a private event or catered function. A single check for a group, plus gratuity, may result in a higher total than an individual entrée price, which can be confusing if you don’t recall the full bill.

Why is the final posted amount from Michael's higher than the original pending amount?

When your card is first authorized, it may not include the tip or final adjustments from the table or bar. After you add a tip and sign, the restaurant submits the updated total, so the posted amount can be higher than the initial pending authorization. This is normal behavior for many full-service restaurants and bars.

Does Michael's Seafood & Steakhouse place temporary holds or pre-authorizations on my card?

Yes. Like most full-service restaurants, Michael's may run an initial authorization on your card when you open a tab or your server first takes your payment. This temporary hold is later adjusted to the final total with tax and tip, and any unused portion of the authorization should drop off from your account within a few days.

How can I get a copy of my receipt from Michael's Seafood & Steakhouse?

If you need a receipt, contact the restaurant directly by phone using the contact details on michaelsdining.com. Provide the approximate date, time, check amount, and the last four digits of the card you used. They can usually look up the transaction and provide a copy or confirmation of the charge.

Can I dispute a charge from Michael's Seafood & Steakhouse if I think it’s incorrect?

First, call the restaurant and ask them to review the check associated with your card. Many issues, such as a mis-entered tip or duplicate charge, can be corrected directly by the merchant. If the restaurant cannot resolve it or you suspect fraud, contact your card issuer to dispute the charge and request further investigation.

Does Michael's Seafood & Steakhouse run any recurring or subscription-style billing?

No. Michael's Seafood & Steakhouse is a traditional restaurant and does not operate subscriptions or recurring memberships. All legitimate charges should correspond to individual dining visits, bar tabs, or specific catered events on particular dates.

What are typical charge amounts I might see from Michael's Seafood & Steakhouse?

Typical charges can range from modest amounts for a solo meal or a couple of drinks at the bar, to higher totals for multi-course dinners with wine, or group celebrations and private parties. If you see a larger amount, consider whether it might reflect multiple guests on one check or a full dinner with drinks and gratuity included.
