Mio’s Grill Cafe - St. Petersburg

Excellent Everything! Truly Authentic Mediterranean/Turkish Cuisine. Freshest of ingredients, prepared and presented that is DELICIOUS to your eyes and pallette. It's recommended to arrive early (before 5-6PM) or make reservations. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED RESTAURANT!

Fantastic service, great ambience, comfortable, clean seating. Most importantly, DELICIOUS authentic Turkish food. Overall absolutely stellar. As a lover of mediterranean food I bought almost half the freaking menu for lunch! Keep it up guys.

*I came here as part of the Yelp Elite event, but missed the deadline to put my review on the event's page GAH Literally one of the best experiences I've ever had at a restaurant (and not just because my meal was complementary)! I got the cheese cigar appetizer, Iskender (beef gyro with yogurt), and baklava. The wrappers for the cheese cigars was shockingly good, really crispy and I loved the light tasting filling! The Iskender is definitely the best I've had yet, the sauce was perfect with a great amount of sweetness you can tell the tomatoes they used were super fresh. The beef gyro was amazingly tender as well! Lastly, the baklava was deliciously gooey and I love how cute and petit the pieces were. The sizes have nothing to do with the taste, I just liked how they looked. The biggest stand out to me here was definitely the service and presentation. All the waiters were super kind and happy to chat about the restaurant. Everything from the colorful decor down to the ornate plates made this place feel super warm and cozy, I especially loved the blue booths with the beautifully patterned pillows! Overall, you can tell that they really care about every little detail here. You have to visit this place if you're ever in St Pete, it was such a treat and everything about my experience here was lovely!

I had an absolutely delightful dining experience at this restaurant. The staff was the epitome of kindness, greeting us warmly the moment we walked through the door and ensuring that our every need was met throughout our meal. As for the food, it was nothing short of spectacular--each dish bursting with authentic flavors that transported my taste buds on a culinary journey. The ingredients tasted fresh, and the recipes seemed to be crafted with both tradition and passion. I left feeling not only satisfied but genuinely impressed by the quality of the cuisine. I highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a meal that's both delicious and genuine--it's a must-visit for food lovers seeking an authentic experience.

The service was delightful and eating was fresh and amazing. I've been eating red lens soup for a week and here it is. vega, home made and delicious. had also some hot appetizers. everything was fantastic.
