We came here for Mother's Day and had a very nice experience. Reservations are recommended. We started with the Rhode Island calamari for an appetizer and both of us enjoyed it. My wife ordered the grouper and I had the ribeye. Everything tasted wonderful, and we had excellent service.
After wondering about this local spot for what feels like years, we finally had dinner here on a Sunday evening - 2 of us at 6:30. We made a reservation online but probably didn't need to - there were a handful of tables open when we got there. The experience from start to finish was great. Super laid back and nice vibe at this place. Wine selection is extensive, had a glass of super Tuscan which was great. Diet coke ratio was great. We both had salads with chicken added. Super tasty. I had a side of Mac and cheese which was also great. And for some reason felt the need to try the chocolate cake and man it was good. Will try some better will power next time. Will definitely be back - need to try more things on menu! Loved the fact a few seemingly regulars were watching football at the bar. All customers just seemed to be chilling and relaxed. Big recommend from us ! Glad we live so close ;)
My wife randomly found this restaurant on Google and wanted to try something we haven’t tried before. When we arrived, we couldn’t believe there was on 2 people here after our experience. This place is 10/10!!!!! We were greeted which we believe to be the manager instantly when walking in. S/O to our waitress and also the bartender. Both of them provided amazing customer service. The bartender made the best margarita and strawberry Long Island. The food was amazing!!!! Really fresh, packed with flavor, and delicious. There is no way this place is not packed! It’s such a vibe and may I add “ SUPER CLEAN “. We definitely will be coming back. S/O to the entire staff, we had an amazing first experience.
Excellence is key !!! From cocktails to dinner is top notch !!!! MY STRAWBERRY-Basil martini was delicious. We dined today Grouper with pea risotto and Mahi fish pineapple relish cooked both to perfection our appetizer was okay a bit dry for the meatballs and needed a bit more ricotta in my opinion .Our 1st time here a asunday 6 pm dinner was quiet and cozy , yes a little far in. From the main road of Bruce B. downs inside go 4 to 5 miles into Cross creek .. A little hidden gem opened only 3 and half years! Will be back for sure try different items as I found out they rotate often
Our visit to The Grill at Morris Bridge in Tampa was nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, we enjoyed a delicious meal and outstanding service. We started with the prime rib, which was cooked to perfection—tender, flavorful, and seasoned beautifully. The seafood risotto was just as impressive—creamy, rich, and loaded with fresh seafood that made every bite memorable. Our waitress, Adriana and Bartender Nicole (Bahama Mama-Highly Recommend) were excellent—warm, attentive, and knowledgeable, which made our evening even more enjoyable. To finish the night, we treated ourselves to a decadent chocolate cake paired with raspberry sauce and ice cream. It was the perfect blend of rich and refreshing—a wonderful ending to a fantastic dining experience. We highly recommend The Grill at Morris Bridge for anyone looking for great food, great service, and a relaxed atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!
Frank(Owner) makes sure you are comfortable and our server Jason, is top notch when it comes to service with a smile... DELICIOUS and Excellent. Highly recommend this restaurant "The Grill At Morris Bridge"
We had a large party, so I didn’t get pics of everything—just the dishes at my table. Overall, the ambiance was nice and the waitstaff did a good job. The manager/owner was somewhat friendly. Food highlights: -Alcoholic drinks – on point! -Meatballs – different, but tasty. -Ribeye sandwich – delicious. -Side of macaroni & cheese – not homemade, but it served its purpose. -Philly steak sandwich – very good; next time, I’d ask for the meat to be chopped instead of shaved (personal preference). -Rigatoni – unfortunately, not good. -Herb grilled salmon – very, very good. -Chicken marsala – something was slightly off with the sauce, but still good (even better the next day). -Smash burger – very good. While my experience was overall decent, it’s probably not a place I’d personally return to. That said, it’s worth trying at least once—especially for the drinks and entrées.
