Outstanding Dining Experience at Michael’s Grill Last night, my date and I had the pleasure of dining at Michael’s Grill in Tampa, and it was nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, the entire experience was outstanding. We began with the Louisiana shrimp in barbecue sauce as an appetizer, and it set the tone for the evening—flavorful, perfectly prepared, and absolutely delicious. Our drinks were expertly crafted, adding a nice touch of sophistication to the meal. The service was truly top-notch. Our server, Mallory was attentive, professional and friendly, and the general manager personally came over to ensure we were enjoying our meal. This level of care and attention to detail made us feel incredibly welcome and valued. The staff even went above and beyond to help us find a table that suited our preferences—a small gesture that made a big impact. For our main course, we both savored Chef Michael's Filet Mignon ... 6 oz tender Filet grilled medium rare topped with a robust Gorgonzola cheese and finished with a Jack Daniels Whiskey sauce, mashed potatoes and vegetable medley, all of which were cooked to perfection. Each bite was a testament to the quality and expertise Michael’s Grill consistently delivers. To top off the evening, we indulged in the bread pudding with ice cream and caramel-toffee for dessert. Outstanding! It was the perfect ending to an unforgettable meal—warm, rich, and utterly satisfying. Michael’s Grill is a gem in Tampa, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Exceptional food, impeccable service, and an inviting atmosphere make it a dining experience you won’t want to miss.

The food was amazing as always. Our server (I can't remember his name) was wonderful. He was knowledge about the menu, great personality and never left us waiting for anything. I brought someone who'd never been there before and they will definitely be a repeat customer.

Kelli, our waitrous was fantastic as usual. However, there was a problem when we went to pick up our wine. At the bar cash register, 2 ladies in front of us proceeded to do a wine tasting AT THE REGISTER, preventing anyone from picking up or purchasing wine. They were on their 3rd glass and after 10 minutes in line, another associate shouted over the counter if we had been helped. The 2 ladies were still doing a tasting and the line at the register was now 10 people deep. The associate behind the register SHOULD have known better and moved them to the bar area for their wine tasting.

The Rooster and the Till is an absolute gem. Small and intimate neighborhood vibe. The food is eclectic and excellently prepared. Service was outstanding as well. Our goal was to find a restaurant that steps well outside the typical American fare… The Rooster and the Till really hit the mark.

Dinner at Capital Grille was excellent. Our server, Anjelica, was friendly, helpful, and professional. She provided the perfect amount of attention without being obtrusive. She helped my husband choose between two dishes and he was happy with her suggestion. It was a busy night and food delivery slowed a bit, but she kept us informed and made sure to accommodate us with a surprise at the end of the meal. The food was excellent and other staff made brief appearances to check on us. Great place for a nice meal.
