Friends took us here as it is one of their favorite restaurants, and we found out why. One of the best we been to in Florida. Service exceptional, food was great. We went back 2 weeks late and can't wait to go again!

Service was great and so we're the cocktails. I love what some of the remodel did with the atmosphere but unfortunately I was disappointed with food quality. My Delmonico was tough and chewy and seemed to have been cooked a proper med rare. More important the Tuna appetizer was on the menu as AAA sushi grade and didn't seem to meet that quality. I understand times are tough for restaurants but you've gotta meet us in the middle somewhere with prices and quality. I have always liked this spot and often recommend it to others, but this visit stung a bit.
Edit for owners response: I truly appreciate the follow up, we have always been happy there and as stated above always recommend it to friends. Comment not meant to hurt the business in any way, wishing you the best.

My filet was delicious, and the cocktails and wine were also a good pairing. My husband's ribeye wasn't quite as good, but the au gratin potatoes were a hit. This was an Anniversary/Valentine's gift for us, as we had never been. And my husband mentioned it when making reservations. A teeny bit dissappointed to see t-shirts and shorts worn by some of the people in the dining area, especially for an upscale French steakhouse. Our secondary server forgot to bring out more bread, so we didn't get to finish the roasted garlic. (Probably better as I would not have finished my dinner) All in all I'm glad we tried a new place, but it was a little pricey.

tried ordering on line with 20% off coupon along with there own gift cards and they would not accept gift cards or give 20% off with valid coupon. ordering on line needs to be fixed! eaten inside many times food is good.
Best meal ever!!

Jen always takes amazing care of us. We’ve been coming for years and it’s been exciting to see the restaurant expand. The steaks are wet aged and delicious, they have a beyond respectable wine, beer, and liquor menu. The cordon bleu is phenomenal, as are the au gratin potatoes. Order the herbs de Provence for the bread and your steak!! Thank you all, always. This place rocks!!

Went to this wonderful place for the first time the other day and I must say, I was very pleased. Very well established Steakhouse after nearly 20 years in business and tucked away off the main road.
The menu was not large but rather focused. I do wish there were more steak options but what was offered really met and exceeded my expectations.
Would highly recommend.

A wonderful 6 person meal and everybody in our party loved everything that came to the table. The tenderloin was tender and perfectly prepared In The Pittsburg technique. The apps were perfectly prepared as we tried the friend class, beef tips and jumbo blackened shrimp. The owner came to our table to insure our approval... it was an ideal dinner! This is as good as it can get! Its go now approval from this reviewer.

Atmosphere is great and the food was pretty good. The garlic appetizer was a little thick and sticky but otherwise the food was good. Service was terrible. We were sat and waited 15 minutes to be greeted at our table. Wait staff did not listen to us (eg they asked if we were done with our meal, I said no, and they said let me box that up for you).
Sorry, but I would not recommend and won’t be returning.

Went here for Christmas Eve. Food was great husband and I split a 16oz. Normally I have leftover but the 8oz cut I had was so good I enjoyed the whole thing. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area or visiting!

Michael John's is a hidden gem in Bradenton. The atmosphere is elegant yet welcoming. Ideal for a romantic night out or celebrating a special occasion.
