We simply couldn't find this place, drove up and down the road, asked for help. It simply wasn't visible. I could see it in Google maps but couldn't find it. So strange. It was my birthday and a huge disappointment as the menu looked promising for vegetarians which we all are.

What a hidden gem this place is! Great atmosphere, love the character and ambiance. Stellar personal service and awesome food! Met the owner Chuck as well and wow, just blown away by his heartfelt genuine engagement in his establishment! How often do you ever see the owner of a restaurant/bar, let alone talk to them? There's something to say about an establishment that has the good old fashioned heart. Not to mention the delicious food, spectacular taste that leaves you fulfilled without feeling all weighted down by the usual garbage at other places. Loved the menu with multiple unique choices, we are going to have to go back to start trying them all! Definitely recommend Fresh Scratch Bistro to someone wanting to experience a really great meal with great service in a unique atmosphere. You just can't find this anymore these days. Hidden Gem on the A1A :-) By the way, I saw some of the other reviews. My thought is - if you have an issue, then speak up to someone while you are at the Bistro BEFORE you post a negative review. My feel is that the people here want you to have a great experience, so if there's something you don't like, tell them and they will fix it.

This is an honest review of my recent dinner at Fresh Scratch. We arrived for early dinner. About 5:30. There was no one in the restaurant……But that did not deter us. The menu is great and the food is even better. We has the Seafood Jambalaya. I will give it a high marks. We also had the Shrimp Scampi. This however was horrible. Way too much lemon and butter. I was astounded how much butter and lemon. It was not edible at all. I could not eat it. For appetizers we had the Calamari and the Baked Brie with Glaze and walnuts. These were both awesome. Very delicious. Everything was Fresh. You can tell that chef takes pride in the preparation and the ingredients. The seafood was so good in the Jambalaya had so much flavor. My boyfriend said it was in his top 5 meals. My take is this restaurant needs some updating in the decor and the atmosphere. The prices are a bit high for the atmosphere and service but the food makes up for it ( plus its seafood, which we know is expensive). Again, The menu is outstanding. I will take a star off for the Scampi because honestly, it was horrible. Service was pretty good. I do feel it could have been better but it seems as though the staff was short. This was a great find. Two entrees, two appetizers, two beers and a sweet tea was $108.00. Also…..there is a $4 charge for paying with a credit card. I believe the owner is a local and a Veteran, So I support his business. I recommend if in the area.

Roast beef in French Dip Sandwich was tough. The fries were fine. The waitress was prompt and courteous but did not ask if I wanted dessert. No frozen Virgin Pina Colada available. Better deal at Arby's.

Food only mediocre. Soup was tasty but no offering of any crackers or crusty bread. Entrees somewhat bland. Service was fair at best. We asked the server a couple of simple food questions that she couldn't answer. The overhead lights kept blinking and was quite annoying. Prices too high for what you get.

I can not say enough good things about Fresh Scratch Bistro and Lounge in Satellite Beach. We hosted our wedding rehearsal dinner here. From start to finish, planning this with them was a breeze, and they hit the mark in every way! Food, service, setup... everything was exceptional. Everyone loved the food from appetizers to dessert.10/10 recommend!!!Should've gotten photos of the food, but we were too busy devouring it ?Thank you so much to all who made our night so special!!

Everything was terrific, except for the fact that they charged me $1 for soda water as a mixer in my drink. I don't mind the $10 shots of Grey Goose, the $8 shots of Jack Daniels, the $26 lemon pesto salmon, the $28 lobster bake, or the $10/dessert for a grand total of $110 for a two top for dinner. The food was terrific and the service was welcoming. But charging me $1 extra for a freaking splash of soda water in my $10 vodka means I will never return. That's pretty sad.*edit - Touche Chuck :)
Ordered linguine with meatballs. There was no bread, no salad or anything. One waiter who acted like it was his first time. Will never go there again. Poor service, food was so so. Terrible experience.The waiter did not even ask if we wanted anything to drink once we were seated. I had to ask the waiter for a beer before he was our of reach and only then did he ask my wife if she would like anything to drink. We were not asked if we would like mozzarella on our meal, although the menu said it would be provided. We were not asked if we would like a salad with the meal.

This is a charming little restaurant located on A1A.We dropped in after 1 PM for someone late lunch.I had the French dip which was absolutely spectacular. The roll was so fresh. They might have baked it just before we got there. And the beef was very flavourful and tender.As a side dish, I went with the chips now. Do not let the menu fool you. These are not out of the bad potato chips. These are out of the deep fryer freshly cooked chips. Krispy and well salted.The older person with us thought it was too much salt but I liked it.I forget their actual name for it. But the one dish that was disappointing was a bowl that consisted of fried rice, mango and pineapple. While they say it is made fresh to order. It looked and felt like it was a pre-made mix of ingredients that was just reheated. This will not be ordered again but other things on their menu willThe one disappointment was that they have an awesome sounding bananas. Foster's French toast on the menu and the menu says it is served until 2 PM.We were tried to order that, but we're told. It is only available on Sundays during brunch, which is not something that was noted on the menu.While this restaurant has a very nice indoor section. There is also an outdoor covered patio with almost as many tables as inside. The patio does have roll down plastic sides in case the weather is bad.It is a very nice little venue and we are actually returning there to celebrate our Thanksgiving meal with them on Thursday this year.We would look forward to a High quality meal along with a very nice level of service.Parking: This restaurant is located on an outparcel of a small strip shopping centers, so there is absolutely plenty of parking surrounding the building whilst towards the street and towards the shopping center.

Not for us, we won't be back...This was our 1st time here.We were willing to give this place another try again until the very end, when the man that I guess owns it (never got an introduction) came over and asked how our food was. We told him it was good. He continued to pry and asked again, so we mentioned the beet salad was sweet for our taste. The beets are pickled and not roasted as stated on the menu, which made the salad taste very sweet to us. We were told to get the dressing on the side next time we come in. His attitude was so rude and dismissive of our issue that now there is no way we will spend another dime here. The beet salad was not as described on the menu. The strawberries were out of a can, like pie filling. The walnuts were not candied, just raw which was fine because the beets were so sweet. But the whole thing just didn't taste right to us. We ate it anyway because we are old industry peeps that don't send anything back, ever. We used the saltiness of our mushroom pasta sauce to counter the sweet in the salad. The mushroom ravioli were very salty. The chocolate torte was good, but would have been better without the strawberry pie filling that was also on the salad. The star of the show was the Flatbread appetizer and our server, Madeline. But the attitude from the owner is what will keep us from returning to this place.

Went there on a Saturday night with friend at 7 . At 8 they close on a Saturday night. The food was good , but they told us we could chill and finish our drinks and they shut the lights off on us on the patio. Y'all are really freaking rude . No wonder we didn't see any other coustmers in there.

My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary and staying at a nearby hotel, so after looking at the menu and seeing that it had one of our favorite items we decided to give it a chance. Best decision ever! We started with bruschetta as an appetizer and it tasted as good as it looked. For my entrée I had the Pork Normandy and my husband had the Chateau Skewers. The ribeye pork was perfectly paired with grilled apples, sautéed vegetables and mashed potatoes. Every bite was a delight. My husband’s fillet mignon skewers had mushrooms and red onions on it and they were served with mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus. He loved every mouthful. He has a big appetite but because the portions are so generous at this restaurant, he was completely satisfied. We did save room for dessert though and we had the sticky toffee pudding, which came with vanilla ice cream. It was the perfect ending to a perfect meal. Our server was Caitlin. She was welcoming and very attentive to our needs. She did a wonderful job, and she made us feel special. We had a great surprise when the cordon bleu trained chef, Brielle, came to speak with us. She is certainly a gem and the food that comes out of her kitchen is made with love and it shows. She is an expert in her field that’s for sure. Thanks to everyone at this wonderful establishment for making our day a little more special. We highly recommend them and will be back whenever we are in town. Furthermore, we will tell our friends to make a stop at Fresh Scratch Bistro and Lounge when they are in Indian Harbour Beach. Make this your destination too. You won’t be sorry.
