I don’t normally write reviews, but this place was phenomenal. We came with about 14 people for a business dinner, and the exec chef came out twice to thank us for coming - he was SO kind. Aside from that, the food was outstanding and the presentation was great. Our server was attentive, kind, and got all of our orders correct. Not a complaint from all 14 people. When I visit the area again, I’ll definitely be back.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Absolutely Amazing!

Michael’s Valley Grill is an absolute gem. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with a perfect balance of classy and cozy. The service was top-tier—friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu without being overbearing.

Every dish we ordered was outstanding. The steaks were cooked to perfection, the seafood was fresh and flavorful, and the sides complemented everything beautifully. You can tell the ingredients are top quality and prepared with real care. The wine list was impressive, and our server gave a great recommendation that paired perfectly with our meal.

This place isn’t just dinner—it’s an experience. Whether you’re celebrating something special or just want a great night out, Michael’s Valley Grill delivers every time. We’ll definitely be back!

Visited on a Saturday night with my wife sister and brother in law. We have been here before but not for a couple of years. Nothing has changed and that’s a good thing. The food was excellent the service by Andrea was spot on. The chef visited our table after dinner which was a nice touch. We certainly will be back. Highly recommend.

I went last night for my birthday. I was treated so didn’t have to pay. However, service and food were top notch. The swordfish special was superb. Served with excellence. My waffle gelato dessert came with a candle. So good I ate it all.
Thank you Michael’s Valley Grill for making my birthday special.

We visited Michaels valley grill a couple weeks ago. We sat in the bar area and enjoyed happy hour prices on drinks. Then ordered dinner and I got the pork chop. It was absolutely amazing. It was a very thick pork chop but cooked perfectly and had a light Asian glaze on it. Service was also very good as it usually is there. Highly recommend MVG.

I’ve been wanting to try this restaurant for awhile and didn’t have a great experience. I will not be back. Food was alright, expensive and not over the top good. What ruined my experience was being kicked out of my table due to another reservation coming in. Instead of the host offering my friend and I a drink at the bar, or even telling us when we sat down we needed to be out by a certain time, he came over and started clearing our table stating we needed to leave since they needed the table. Then our server started bringing another table over to combine with ours for the larger party. We clearly got the hint and saw ourselves out of the establishment. As paying customers it would have been nice to have another place for us to keep enjoying our night but instead we felt unwelcomed and ended up going to another local restaurant to continue our conversation. This place is unwelcoming and just wants your money.

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.
