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.

This was our first time dining at Michael’s. We didn’t like the table they initially sat us at and they were very accommodating, moving us to a different table We both had the steak au poive and it was very good. The steak was cooked perfectly and the au poive sauce was done well. Chef, owner Michael Riley, spent time with us and we enjoyed hearing about his journey in the food service industry. We plan to eat there whenever we are in Tampa.
