THE MICHAEL'S EXPERIENCE

We serve & prepare only the best for our patrons. Hospitality and service is our
passion, impressing your palette is our mission, and quality is our commitment.





OUR STORY

In 1979, at the age of 25, Michael McCarty founded Michael’s Santa Monica, a
restaurant credited as an early pioneer of California cuisine with its
market-driven plates that utilize local produce and hyper-seasonal ingredients.
Throughout the years, Michael has spearheaded the restaurant’s evolution,
bringing in a veritable who’s who of culinary talent that includes current chef
Job Carder, as well as opening chef Jonathan Waxman, Nancy Silverton, Brooke
Williamson, Sang Yoon, Mark Peel, Miles Thompson among others; and along the
way, he authored Welcome to Michael’s: Great Food, Great People, Great Party!,
which received a 2008 James Beard Foundation Cookbook award nomination in the
entertaining category. Michael continues to walk the floor at Michael’s Santa
Monica when he’s not splitting his time in New York, where he operates a
different iteration of Michael’s in midtown Manhattan. Both restaurants feature
modern art treasures, as curated by McCarty and his wife (an artist herself)
Kim, and boast award-winning wine lists, which include the latest vintages from
McCarty’s own The Malibu Vineyard.

Michael's Santa Monica Accessibility Statement


ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT

 * michaelssantamonica.com
 * August 19, 2024


COMPLIANCE STATUS

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to
anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the
widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.

To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web
Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA
level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people
with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us
ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with
motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as
accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that
allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user
interface) and design it to their personal needs.

Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the
background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application
remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for
screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by
individuals with motor impairments.

If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to
hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the
following email


SCREEN-READER AND KEYBOARD NAVIGATION

Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet
Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to
ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend,
and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters
your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile
so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website
covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console
screenshots of code examples:

 1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the
    website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even
    when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with
    meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide
    accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons,
    search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs;
    element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others.
    Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and
    provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based
    description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not
    described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image,
    using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on
    screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1
    keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements
    to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
    
    These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including
    JAWS and NVDA.

 2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the
    website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the
    website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the
    website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow
    keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key,
    navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill
    them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will
    find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by
    clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with
    the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving
    the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the
    focus drift outside of it.
    
    Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F”
    (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.

    schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over 7 different coloring

    of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs,
    and CSS flashing transitions.
 4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such
    as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered
    elements only.
 5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other
    issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the
    entire website instantly.

    meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
 7. Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color
    and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other
    functions.


BROWSER AND ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY COMPATIBILITY

We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as
possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few
limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to
support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share
including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft
Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.


NOTES, COMMENTS, AND FEEDBACK

Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their
needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are
in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological
solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our
accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and
developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal
level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any
assistance, please reach out to
