I had such a wonderful experience at Michael’s Valley Grill when I visited with a friend. From the moment we arrived, the owners were incredibly involved and enthusiastic, which made the atmosphere feel very welcoming and personal. You can really tell they care about their guests and the quality of their restaurant. The food was amazing! Everything came out fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. We also noticed how clean everything was, from the plates and utensils to the dining area itself, which made the experience even better. Overall, the environment was enjoyable and comfortable, and it was a great place to relax and spend time catching up with a friend. I would definitely recommend Michael’s Valley Grill to anyone looking for great food and a friendly, welcoming atmosphere.

I dont know why you’d go anywhere else for a great date night.
My wife and I had an absolutely delicious meal here. I went with the coffee rub cowboy steak, and it was outstanding—rich, bold flavor in every single bite. It was paired with horseradish mashed potatoes that complemented the meat perfectly.
My wife had the filet, and she couldn’t stop raving about it. She said it melted in her mouth, and the gorgonzola sauce it was served with was the perfect pairing for that cut of meat.
A huge shout-out to our server, Lisa, who took great care of us. She recommended the greens and beans, and I’m so glad she did—they were incredibly rich in flavor and taste.

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!

Recently my wife and I, along with two friends, visited the restaurant. It was the first visit for all of us and was the result of recommendations from friends and business associates. It was a disappointment to the extent that the consensus was that we will not return. The food was acceptable, but only 6/10—less than what we expected. The service was bad, and that is a key factor in this rating and the reason not to return because apparently, management is not training servers or monitoring their performance. Any of the following would be grounds for criticizing the server: rattling off the specials so fast that none of us could tell where the appetizers ended and entrees began let alone remember the details. We had a long wait between ordering drinks and hearing the specials. There was no checking back to see if we were satisfied with our selections and we had to ask him for a bread refill for our table, and there was never an offer to provide a coffee warmup. Also, I value a server that tells customers the price of market-priced items on the menu, this person did not and frankly the market-priced items that two of us ordered were not commensurate with the pricing. And the server never showed any sign that he appreciated our patronage at the restaurant. Huge disappointment. We’ll spend our entertainment dollars at local restaurants with better food, service and a greater appreciation for our business.

We had the most delicious meal. The best chicken French I have ever had. My wifes strip steak was cooked to perfection. Then Creme brulee’ for dessert was exquisite. The staff is very attentive and friendly and wants you to have a great experience

This is one of the more.. interesting restaurants I’ve been to in New York. To start, the wait for the food wasn’t long at all which I appreciate. However, once we got our food, our waitress never came back. No follow-up on the food, dissapointing.
Two colleagues were with me. I ordered the Chicken French, they ordered the NY Strip and the Ribeye.
The Chicken French was served hot with a luxury sauce with a hint of lemon, and a side of mashed potatoes. Overall, one of the best Chicken French I’ve had.
The NY Strip was served hot on a bed of mashed potatoes. There was supposed to be green beans but there were only 3 or 4. The Strip was somehow both charred and undercooked at the same time. The mashed potatoes died in the window.
The Ribeye was served cold on a bed of mashed potatoes. There was a single green bean. The Ribeye and the mashed potatoes died in the window.
Overall, it was an okay experience. 1$ tip and the waitress should probably find a new line of work. The saving grace was the atmosphere, of which it looked like an art gallery. I feel bad for whoever dry-walled the ceiling though, because they put support beams directly under a curved skylight of sort.
I only reccomend this restaurant for the Chicken French & Shirley Temple.

From the outside the restaurant doesn’t look like anything special but once you enter, well let’s just say well done, upscale but not fussy, and very relaxing.
The Waite staff is excellent, and we were a table of 4, that had to make a reservation change 4 times! Very accommodating.
Everyone enjoyed their meal and good portions. My daughter and I shared a dessert, yummy.

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.

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.
