The restaurant will close Monday, September 17, and reopen the following Monday, September 24. In that week, Michael's Genuine will undergo kitchen and upstairs office renovations.

Asked if the kitchen would be given a face-lift or a major overhaul, Jackie Sayet, brand director for the Genuine Hospitality Group, told Short Order that the renovation will cover "routine fixes to a kitchen that has been a machine for five years without an upgrade!"

In the meantime, folks are encouraged to head to Harry's Pizzeria for their Michael Schwartz fix.
