Mio’s Grill Cafe - St. Petersburg

I have not visited many Mediterranean restaurants in the greater Tampa Bay area, but Mio's is definitely one of the best I have ever been to, even compared to my experiences in Turkey and Greece. I went with some friends on a weeknight for a sponsored YELP event. Each of us received a complimentary drink, appetizer, and main course. The baba ghanoush appetizer was amazing, and I couldn't get enough of it. The falafel main course, served with rice and salad, was so generous in portion size that I had to take some home. The large portions make sharing a great option. Our server was friendly, and the chef even came to our table to greet us and we praised the food. The ambiance was unexpectedly calming, and although it was quiet at first, it got busier later in the evening. I am looking forward to returning to Mio's soon!

This restaurant is a fantastic spot to have lunch with friends and bask in the Mediterranean vibe. The food was outstanding, particularly the chef's special beef gyro. The hummus appetizer is a must-try. The service was wonderful, making us feel incredibly welcomed. We were especially pleased to have Mehmet and Tugce as our servers. The Baklava is a must-have, unlike any we've ever tasted in other restaurants. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be returning soon!

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!

Mio's restaurant is a hidden culinary treasure! The baklava is absolutely delicious, especially when paired with the flavorful Turkish tea and coffee. The lamb dishes are outstanding, with a perfect balance of spices and tenderness. This restaurant offers a wonderful dining experience that will transport you to the heart of Turkish cuisine.

The atmosphere at this restaurant is fantastic, making me feel like I have been transported to another culture. The decorations, music, and photos on the walls are all worth seeing. I thoroughly enjoyed the food, particularly the Turkish coffee and baklava. I highly recommend this restaurant.
