Reviews
I was pleasantly surprised. I've lived in this area about 7 years now and have always drove past Michael's grill but never tried it until yesterday. It's a hidden gem that people need to know about. It has that mom and pop neighborhood feel. It's a smaller inside but has ample seating outside too. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The menu is a decent size and they have a lot of offerings. We came here for a special occasion and I love the personalized touch. I would recommend making a reservation btw! I started off with the sangria and it was a nice size. The flavor was delicious and it hit the spot. For dinner I got the Tuscan salmon over goat cheese Mac and cheese. Everything was delicious! I saw they have brunch on the weekends so I will be back to try that.
Had a great time at our ladies luncheon! They accommodated 40 of us with ease and smiles. The quiche was great and everyone seemed pleased with their choices. Easy to get to, it has a cozy and comfortable vib, food is always good!
Recently visited Michaels for our 25th wedding anniversary. Wanting to try something new. Michaels has a incredible menu selection. Whoever wrote there menu knew what they were doing. We were intrigued and set an reservation. The restaurant is small, unassuming and set in a cute shopping area. We arrived at a 530 and were seated immediately since there were no other patrons inside. I had seen a special mentioned on a small A Frame sign outside the door. Sesame encrusted grouper with a curry coconut sauce drizzled on top. Served over yellow rice with Chefs vegetables. I was hooked immediately. This description checked so many of my boxes I had to try it. This restaurant was nicely decorated and gives the appearance of being a nice upscale restaurant. Our server took our drink order and soon came back with some drinks. First I need to say that the restaurant had nobody else there from 530 when we arrived until 6. We were there to celebrate a huge milestone in our life and we had maybe a little expectation that at least our server would engage with us concerning why we were there. So I ordered a old fashioned with Woodford Reserve. She delivered a drink with a different bourbon without asking me first if that was ok. They were out of Woodford Reserve. To her credit she did offer to remix me a different drink if I wanted. My second issue was that even though there was no else there for the first 30 minutes of our visit our server spent the majority of her time talking with the hostess. I will only say that we probably would have ordered additional drinks and maybe a dessert if we had felt in some way connected with the staff instead of put in a corner by ourselves with little chit chat with the staff. Honestly we got a little bored. Now the food. Everything we ordered tasted good and did offer the sense that we were in high quality restaurant. We started with the calamari appetizer. It was perfectly cooked and honestly I could have eaten a slightly larger version of this and be just fine for my main entree. My grouper was soft and flaky. The rice was decently seasoned and the curry coconut sauce was pleasant. My only complaint on food was the dish could have used a little more of the sauce and the vegetables were a little on the raw side. Overall we enjoyed the dishes that we ordered. As stated before we were getting a little bored and decided not to have dessert. Our bill was $145 for two drinks one appetizer and two main dishes. . If we are looking for a place to celebrate some special occasion we might come back here again but only if we have friends with us so we can have some friendly conversation.
Great good and service. Never had a bad meal in all the times we've dinned here. Get the duck it's the best in Tampa
Loved it obviously based on my 5 stars. Apparently Michael's Grill has been a Carrollwood staple for many years yet I had never been. I went because it was my boyfriend's birthday and I wanted to go somewhere nice but also close to the house. The staff was lovely. The drinks were fabulous! I would agree with their menu that they have the best espresso martini in town. Now for the food.... we got conch fritters to start and they were flavorful and perfectly fried with a delectable sauce. I ordered the steak fondue which was a filet and was rare to mid rare which I like. My boyfriend got a pasta bolognese dish and we couldn't stop stealing bites from each other's plates. I will definitely be back!
