Walked in and my first thought was "this place looks like Marshalls threw up on it"... Then I saw the price tags on the decor. Maybe I just don't appreciate art like that. Otherwise food was a little pricey for me but good and service was good too, Bringing out each dish and drink one at a time was a little weird but everyone was so nice and we didn't wait too long.

Just had an incredible dinner at Michael’s Valley Grill! From the perfectly light calamari appetizer to the fresh, seasonal apple salad, and tonight’s Shrimp Fra Diavolo special—everything was outstanding. Huge thanks to the chef and the amazing staff, especially Dimetri and George!

Without a doubt one of Rochester’s hidden treasures. Passed it thousands of times over the years in an unsuspecting small plaza of shops. A friend recommended it and we had to try it! The seasonal corn salad was delicious, the grilled calamari I was told was incredible, my chicken French was the best I’ve ever had and HUGE, and the desserts were unique and delicious.

Went with my Mom for dinner. Sat at bar for cocktail.
Bartender was a complete "Prick"! (White, bald, middle aged, out of shape) I will never ever go back!!!! Neither will she or all our "well to do" friends. I told Lisa the hostess. She said "I KNOW"
Also, my food arrived not hot (broiled fish)

We had this pixie cut glass wearing waiter she was white and she just had the nastiest attitude , she forgot my kids food when I told both waiters what my kids had . Even after the incident for the rest of the night she had just a nasty attitude towards me , she hit my son in the face with a plate , I just didn't like how I was treated and even after that she added her own tip on my bill for 14.70 and didn't add it to anyone else's bill that was there . If I do come back I'll make sure I don't have that old white lady with the glasses . The other waiter was sweet .

Friday, April 12 we visited this restaurant for the first time. We were so impressed with the outstanding service we had from our waitress Jamie and our delicious meals and dessert.I had chicken french and my husband had the swordfish special. Both were delicious. Thank you for a lovely dining experience.

This is by far the greatest restaurant in the Rochester area! We went to celebrate my mom’s birthday.The food was phenomenal, the atmosphere was elegant but felt like my guests and I were dining at the family table. The service was out of this world, their attention to detail, ensuring order accuracy, respectfully following up once the drinks/food arrived exemplified top tier service! I have 3 young kids who were at dinner as well and they have a very kid friendly menu which was surprising considering the elegant atmosphere. My kids are picky eaters and were beyond satisfied with their meals which is rare when we go out to eat! Having the Chef come out to ensure the food was to our liking was such a big plus, you can tell he takes pride in his food!Happy hour great, our bartender was so attentive to our large party while still delivering great service to all the other guests at the bar. Dessert was amazing- they have an ice cream peanut butter cake that was the best i’ve ever had! We tried one of every dessert for the table and there was not a crumb left behind.Portion sizes were incredible, I had the best Chicken French!!! I will definitely be returning and telling my friends to check it out!
Parking: Being located in a plaza, there was a surplus of parking! Couldn’t have asked for much better!
Kid-friendliness: There’s a great kid friendly menu!!! The servers are so kind to the kids and are able to switch from the “fancy talk with the adults” to “hey buddy can i get you some ranch for your chicken?”, they made the kids feel special and included by providing a kids version of the menu which is easy to read for school age kids. Options from pasta, to chicken tenders and fries was such a plus to meet my 3 kids needs! The desserts are also very kid friendly. I’ve been to certain upscale restaurants where the desserts are small & appeal to an adult pallet- but these were a win for all ages!

Outstanding food, great service. Relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The Twins make you feel like your eating with family. Our waitress Lisa is spot on from start to finish. The Cook even came to our table to make sure that we were happy. They covered all the bases .I HIGHLY recommend Michaels Valley Grill.
