“I hadn't tried this place but decided to do online pickup. What a great choice! I walked in at exactly the time I had put on my order and they were ready for me. I had the Kona Fire bowl and it was delicious. It's a convenient location so I'll definitely be back!”
“Incredible food with impeccable service were the hallmarks of an evening at Crush XI. We were a group of 7, and shared plates of the Medjool dates and a special-of-the-night oxtail empanada appetizers. I followed this with the chicken, artichoke, mushroom fettucine, and the group wrapped up the evening by sharing each of the 4 dessert options available that night.I can honestly say that each item ranks among the best food I’ve had anywhere. If you are anywhere near Melbourne, make sure to make a stop. Come hungry, they don’t skimp on the portion sizes.Parking: Parking, especially street parking, can be challenging in season. There are some lots within a couple of blocks.”
“Great food and service when I've gone. We always do the all you can eat menu... chose the pieces you want... make sure you look to see if what you're choosing comes in 1 piece or more. Some orders come with more than 1, but it's marked which ones. We did the math and the all you can eat is much less than a la carte if you plan on having a lot of sushi.Bon AppétitParking: There is paid parking behind it in the back if there is no free parking up front.”
“Just had a second meal at Le French to make sure the first excellent meal wasn’t a fluke. After having the best quiche and crème brulee ever, my wife and I had dinner with friends and Le French did not disappoint. Classic French dishes like escargot with bone marrow and beef bourgogne paired with very nice burgundy and Bordeaux made for a fantastic experience. My wife’s grouper was prepared perfectly as well. What a great find. Can’t wait to return.”
“Quaint little place on Lake Washington road adjacent Publix and Dunkin. Passed by here hundreds of times and always wanted to try; finally did. Very cool place, small pub, several tables, friendly staff, beer on tap, laid back atmosphere, tables outside, great fish and chips. Wish I'd have gone in sooner. Will definitely be back.”

“Hemmingway's Tavern is my favorite restaurant. The food is delicious. Never disappointed. Yucca fries...fabulous!!! Well, everything is delicious. I just can't wait for the Yucca. The service and atmosphere is great, too.”
“I took a friend for pizza today, it was a fairly wonderful experience. Service was great out the gate, very attentive server, the pizza was delicious. she got the mushroom, I got the Riccardo! Then I spilled a glass of water all over the table. I cleaned it up best I could with the napkins on the table. The server came by at one point to check on us, I let him know I'd spilled water and cleaned it up as best I could. He said, no big deal it's raining outside. Never cleaned it up, even brought the check 15 minutes later and laid it next to and on the spilled water. Everything up until the spilled water was great. I just cannot wrap my head around the lackadaisical behavior, not only by our server but the other 2 servers who stopped by to check on us. Perplexed to say the least.”
“Sandwich was amazing. Got the 8in deluxe and only finished half. Saved the other half for later and it was still delicious. They had this pastry at the check out with ricotta and something citrusy and it was also super good. Cashier was friendly. They also have other goods to buy like pasta, olives, and other things.”
“We’ve come to this establishment many times and every time we’ve had nothing but fun! When it’s busy on the weekend you can expect a little wait for service at the bar but that is to be expected. Everyone who is employed here has been helpful, courteous, and friendly. Thank you for opening the Melbourne location we plan on having much more fun here over the upcoming summer months! -Tabi”

“The staff was polite, attentive, and actually all smiling while workng. Which is rare to see these days. I ordered a Castro Fidel dinner with a Mojito, it was magically delicious. I you have to take some time and look around at the decorations, it's like a time capsule of the owners life with that Cuban touch. I can’t wait to go back to try a few other dishes!”
“Great breakfast / brunch menu, cozy & inviting atmosphere. Good table service & friendly staff. Accept AARP membership cards ( affordable). Always a great location”
“I am the owner of Grace Giving Goods and we work with the owner, Alex at Bold Cup Coffee. We love their family and coffee shop so much. They treat their customers and employees wonderfully and make some of the best drinks! My personal favorite is the pumpkin chai tea latte and the carrot cake tea. Alex let’s us do pop-up events at his shop and is so kind in supporting others business’. Grab yourself some Bold Cup Coffee!”

Thanks to the crew for such a wonderful gastronomic experience. Top of the class!”

“This place is great! FRESH and cooked to order and the temp I wanted. I got the maxi because I didn’t think and it was ginormous. It could have used a tad bit more seasoning but man it was delicious!! Highly recommend”
“The food is delicious, and the atmosphere is pleasant, I really liked that when the host arrived he spoke Spanish to me and advised me with the best dishes, thanks to Luis and Lesly I had a good time with my ”
“Some of the most addicting food I have ever gotten the pleasure to eat! I absolutely love this place and the people who run it. Everyone is super sweet and treats me like family.. I typically get the mixed grill platter for 2 to 3 people and it makes 6 full plates of food! This is by far some of the best food in Brevard.”
“Fun experience with really cool and unique and the food was good too it's worth it for the fun it was like 50$ with a 17$ tip included and the staff are absolutely wonderful to put up with me and my buddygirl after we partied all night”
“Delicious food! I can tell you what to do with the small dishes if you don’t know like me ? With Korean entrees they will bring you many small dishes of different vegetables as well as lettuce and sauce. Taste them and mix into your dish as you want or eat separate. The lettuce is to be used as a wrap if you would like. Very good food. The red labeled spicy items are not very spicy but do have a kick. A great variety of food, lots of things to choose from.”

“My family loves Mustard's!! We've been going here for years and it never disappoints. There is something for everyone on the menu and everything is so good! Great atmosphere, good service, and great food. My husband's family demands a visit to Mustard's when they come from out of state. Can't recommend this place enough!”
“Took my daughter to Coasters for lunch today. I've eaten here often and always had good food in a congenial environment. We were enjoying some beverages and the sunshade suddenly collapsed on top of me. I wasn't hurt in any way, but the staff was excellent. They had us at a new table with fresh drinks and a delicious meal. They're a great place to eat.”

“Bacco Wine Cafe- Melbourne- 5 Stars When a restaurant has been in business for 18 years, I know one of two things. It's either the only restaurant in town, or it's the best. I am here to say that Bacco Wine Cafe in Melbourne is the latter of the two. The place is run by a husband and wife team, the husband, Loris, takes care of the front while his wife, Rafaella, runs the kitchen. As the place is reservation only, we were very fortunate and grateful that Loris gave us a table. He said we arrived early enough so it wouldn't be a problem. As my eyes began to devour the choices on the menu handed to us by Loris, I thought this was sure to be an amazing meal. However, our server, Jennifer had me briefly second guessing that assumption as she came across as a zombie. Or your typical 25-year-old. She was adequate enough as she got our order right but, really seemed to just go through the motions. I ordered a three-course meal consisting of Tagliatelle Alla Bolognese, the Veal Chop Alla Marsala and for dessert, I went with the Pere Cotte Al Vino Rosso. Jennifer was soon doing the zombie shuffle towards our table with a tray of culinary science concocted in the laboratory of Chef Rafaella, Ph.D. in foodology. As our gastronomical treasure was set before us, my sense of smell became overwhelmed with scrumptiousness. The odors spirling up from the plated art in wisps of steam would make a dead man salivate (which I found exceedingly ironic given the mortal condition of our server). My comestible journey began with the order of Tagliatelle Alla Bolognese. Sadly, this recipe has been hacked the world over. It has been reduced to "common" food status when in reality it was the dish of nobility as traditionally it consisted of beef and fresh cream, items not easily obtainable by the commoners. Chef Rafaella reminds everybody of the true origins of this dish by elevating it once again to noble standards. She starts by making her own pasta and finishes with the freshest cuts of prime meat around and tops it all off with a homemade Bolognese sauce that recalled to mind one of the nicknames of the city it hails from, "la grassa" or "the fat" in reference to the city's culinary mastery. After literally licking the plate clean (thatsa some sauce!), I directed my appetite towards the Veal Chop Alla Marsala. As my loyal followers know, this is my "barometer" for measuring a good Italian eatery. The Veal was obviously USDA Prime as it was so tender it practically melted on the palate. The mushrooms were fresh cut (YAY!) and Chef Rafaella really took it to the next level by using shaved garlic in her sauce. Served with riced garlic mashed potatoes and bedded atop a bevy of market fresh veggies this was truly a dish from a chef at the top of her game. However, Rafaella's chef-d'oeuvre this evening was her take on the classic Pere Cotte Al Vino Russo. What can I say about this delicious masterpiece of dessert? Was it perfect? Was it divine? Everything falls short. The pear was cooked unerringly to perfection and the red wine reduction sauce was out of this world. A dollop of fresh cream was the exclamation point to a fabulous meal. The Big Boy says, "What are you doing still reading this? Call Bacco and make a reservation. Now. Boun Appetito!!" #bigboydiningout #iamthebigboy”
“This is a consistently good place for a nice lunch. Four of us went on March 20. Kudos to the restaurant for providing a basket of bread to the table. The bread is fresh-baked, plentiful and irresistible. We ordered glasses of wine. The various house wines are good quality and come with a generous pour. Two of us had one of the specials _ fresh Atlantic flounder Francese-style with rice _ and it was absolutely superb. Perfectly prepared fillets, light and flavorful. The others at our table had eggplant parmesan and lasagna _ and enjoyed both. Dinner-sized portions on both. The staff wrapped our leftover bread to take home _ and added several more pieces. What a considerate gesture.”

“First time having a Arepa and I had the Rumbera (Pernil con queso amarillo. Pork with Gouda cheese.). It was delicious. Imagine a flat cornbread with savory pork and Gouda cheese inside. Also had cafe Con Leche which was also delicious. Very pleasant atmosphere and service. Will definitely go back.”
“We have eaten there before covid, ordered there tor years. Will never again. Food frozen at Costco would be better. It was frozen food reheated, horrible. We are so unhappy because we have eaten their food for years. No more!”
“Tandoor Indian Cuisine, 6300 N. Wickham Rd. Melbourne, FL 32940 3- Stars Many people take up golf upon retirement, while others shuffleboard at a retirement village (gestures at the entire state). What did I do? I took it upon myself to provide unadulterated food reviews for the Space Coast of FL at no charge to you, the reader. I’m just that kind of guy. Since I didn’t have a tee time, I tended to lounge around a bit, wrapped snugly in the family counterpane. However, the name generator told me it was time to get to work. Dislodging myself from the spread, I grabbed my keys and headed north to the Pineda Causeway (thereby putting going OTB off for as long as feasibly possible). Just north of the Causeway on Wickham Road sits the Indian Buffet Restaurant, Tandoor Indian Cuisine. Call me “late to the party,” but I had no idea we had two Indian restaurants in the county, let alone the four I found out now exist. For a comparison, this one is the Walmart of Indian Restaurants so far reviewed. The entire service staff is Vietnamese, the kitchen was 100% Mexican and the owner was Indian. Not one word of English was heard nor spoken. If they put in self-serve checkout, you would have Walmart. Our service pro today was a Vietnamese chap going by the name of Llama. As Llama’s English skills were on par with my Vietnamese skills, we worked out a point-and-grunt method of ordering that went without a hitch. How hard is it to understand “The Buffet”? This Indian buffet was filled with the ever-present and famous Tandoori chicken, butter chicken, sang, and warm naan, along with several vegetarian dishes in various curries. I never once in a million years would have guessed I would be reviewing and comparing Indian restaurants in Bree-vard County, FL. But, as the man said, “The times, they are a-changin’.” The Big Boy says, “There are better Indian buffets around; however if you are stuck in Suntree with the cold sweats for an adequate curry, stop in.””
“Food is usually very fresh. Good veggies.I liked everything here & is one of my usual plsces. I did not care much for fried rice althoughStaff is always very ”
“The food is so-so (had bourbon chicken, not the best sauce, some was a little pink) but that's pretty standard for Chinese food.I will say they forgot my $3 soup (delivery order) and I called and they had it delivered in like less than 15 minutes. They must have had a driver bringing it to me in seconds, so cannot fault that service. Mistakes happen, but they made it right quickly.”
“Decided to go for a birthday lunch on Easter day. Thought it would be much more crowded, but we were able to get a seat immediately. I had heard such good things about this place and was very excited to try it.We started off with the fish dip, which we could have stopped at there. Highly recommend. Good portion size and the extras are very good also. Love the pirate chips that came with. We went on to have the swordfish entree, ahi poke bowl, and the Buffalo chicken sand with fries. It's all very tasty and fresh tasting. It had been many years since having swordfish, I was impressed with the freshness and serving with rice. I can vouch for the rest as well. Because I got a taste of each, considering this was my first visit. All very good and fresh!The service was fantastic, and the staff all worked together as a team in getting the food and drink out to the tables. Kudos!I would highly recommend this restaurant for the food, drinks and excellent customer service. I will be back.”
“This was such a wonderful meal! Best dining experience I have ever had. Kudos to the chef!!!! Beautiful restaurant and WONDERFUL staff. The bartender and server were exceptional. BEST. MEAL. EVER.”
“We went to Chart House 2x during our time in Melbourne. Our first visit was in the dining area and Christian put server was excellent. We ordered from the Early Dining menu and my wife's snapper was very good and my shrimp pasta was just OK, nothing special. The Creme Brule desert was to die for!Our second time we ventured into the lounge for the happy hour menu. Great prices on everything, $8 Mango Mojito, $7 glass of Merlot. We had Coconut Shrimp (7), best I've had, and Fish Tacos (2) wife loved them. And we finished it off with a Lava Cake and our total bill was $45.We will definitely be back for this!!!”
“Came in for dinner with our family and had the best service we’ve ever received here with Bruce. He was attentive, brought our child’s meal out as soon as it was ready, and made sure our drinks were always filled. The smoked wings and loaded fries were delicious!”
“We enjoyed a delicious meal here, with very tender and flavorful meats. The sides are excellent and the salad bar offers a wide variety of options. Definitely recommend visiting this place!”
“My friends and I have been meeting at Chez Cani every Saturday. The food and the service is superb! Every menu option we have ordered has been delicious and it is hard to choose a favourite ❤️”
“I have been a regular customer at this Fujiyama for years the service was always good except for when I had this one particular waitress. When this waitress waited on me the long wait and cold food was a constant issue I never said anything about it until today when I had been waiting 30 minutes for my food and she waited on her male friend and proceeded to eat her lunch and I still had no food on my table I went to the front area and asked if I could pay for my iced tea and said that I was leaving. This waitress appeared and said what's the problem? I said the service was ridiculous I said I've waited 30 minutes while you served someone else and proceeded to start eating your lunch. This waitress said then said to me leave and don't come back! I asked to see the manager who appeared in nonchalantly said what's the problem I told him what she had said he said she has issues sometimes and if I come back in again he'll try to get me a different waitress. I will never return to this restaurant exclamation point I told him that I am in a management customer service position and would never speak to a customer that way. He just Shrugged his shoulders. By the way the waitress's name is Sadie”
“OMG, my husband and I stopped just driving by. This will be our Italian restaurant from now on. The food was great, rigatoni was the best and you have to try the bruschetta with mushrooms and sausage.”
“Being from the UK I know about curry (British love Indian food) and this has to be the best place around. Tell Andrew to make Chicken wala wala! You are missing out if you have not been here. Great service great food. 10/10”
“Best authentic Mexican tacos I've had since I've moved to Melbourne so far although craft tacos are delicious as well, nothing beats the simplicity of carne, cilantro, onions, corn tortilla and lime!”
“Tely's is our favorite Chinese restaurant in Melbourne/Suntree. The food is fresh, flavorful and we are never disappointed no matter what we order. Some of our top dishes are: the eggplant casserole, the curried shrimp, the hot and sour soup and the pork fried rice. The service is always top notch too, we highly recommend dining there!”

“It's good food and really nice people that work in there. The only thing I don't like is the prices. My breakfast with tip was 20 dollars . I know things go up but I feel like eggs and toast should be under 10 dollars. Besides the price ,overall was a good experience”

“Ate here 3 times during a month long stay in Melbourne. Looks like a bar when you walk in but don't be fooled. The food selection is top shelf. Check the daily specials. We had mini beef wellington appetizers and they were great! Any seafood dish we had was awesome. Often busy and a bit tight but the view of the harbor and the service and food make it worth it.”

“Cedars Cafe- Lake Washington-5-Stars Quickly becoming a local favorite, this gem of an eatery is beginning to make a huge splash in the local culinary scene. As with most fine dining joints (Cedar's is more casual, but the food is not), Chef Toni changes her menu with the seasonal availability of the freshest ingredients. As we have cruised on past summer and are now in the fall months, I thought it would be a good time to revisit a new favorite and see what Chef Toni did with her traditional, yet eclectically mixed menu. After being seated, I hungrily listened to my server rattle off the seasonal specials and began to drool. This should be extraordinary based on what my ears were telling my palate. After a few moments taking it all in, I asked for an order of Artichoke Shawarma, Fennel Apple salad, White Yam fries, Beat salad with goat cheese, Haloumi cheese, some kafta and an order of chicken thighs in a shiitake mushroom sauce. Relaxing in the pleasant atmosphere it seemed only a moment had passed when my server was soon approaching with my food. Setting it down before me, I drank in the beautiful artistry and scintillating aromas spiraling towards the ceiling as I reached for my tools of gastronomical destruction and got to work. After one bite of the Artichoke Shawarma I knew that once again, Chef Toni has hit a home run. After using the outside of the Artichoke for another dish and wanting to be a zero-waste kitchen, Chef Toni took the artichoke hearts, through some shawarma spice on them, and plopped them on some freshly made hummus. The tastes were extraordinary. The Fennel Apple salad is a misnomer as it should read Fennel and Shaved Apple salad. With thin shavings of apple over fresh greens, fennel, fresh mint and a "secret" ingredient of orange blossom water, this salad was out of this world. Used to cleanse the palate between courses, it more than served its purpose In pursuing the freshest ingredients, Chef Toni often comes upon once in a blue moon opportunities from her local sources. Case in point, white yams. Obtaining just a few of them from a local farmer, Chef Toni worked her magic and turned them into fresh white yam fries served with an herbed, homemade tahini sauce that was a sheer delight on the palate. They were like no fries I have ever tasted before. Moving on to the most pedestrian dish, if one can call a goat cheese feta and fresh beet salad with homemade pomegranate vinaigrette drizzled over it, pedestrian. With farm-fresh beets and real honest to Athens goat cheese feta this was amazing as well. It seems that Chef Toni never misses. She must, she is only human, but I have yet to catch her off her game. After a few bites of the salad, just to make sure I had the taste down, I turned my attention to the grilled Haloumi cheese. While this is a traditional middle eastern dish, Chef Toni took traditional and turned it on its ear. With some almond dukkah seasoning and fresh local honey drizzled over it, this cheese was a far cry from the stuff I grew up on. Talk about scrumptious! While the Houlomi cheese was a far cry from my childhood, Chef Toni's take on kafta brought me right back to it. Grilled in the oven, topped with fresh hummus with tomato and onions and topping a freshly made pita, this went straight to the little boy inside the Big Boy and made him very happy. With a delicate blend of herbs and spices, this dish alone was worth the visit. Sadly, this brings me to the last item up for review, the Chicken thighs in a shiitake mushroom sauce. What can I say about this without sounding like the proverbial broken record? Using locally farmed mushrooms and chicken, this dish taste farm-fresh and danced across my taste buds. The sauce was delicate, subtle and full of flavor while the chicken was tender, juicy and had to have been alive just a few hours earlier, it tasted that fresh. This place is 5 stars all day, every day. The Big Boy says, "Just go already!"”

“The best cookies I have ever tasted. They are so gooey and thick. You enjoy every bite. And they are big enough to enjoy 2 - 3 servings each to satisfy the sweet cravings. I love the gluten free Chocolate chip one!!! Also, I love the local mini market where I can find unique gifts and decor, gourmet foods and participate in classes. Love, Love, Love it! ❤️”
Ice Cream Shop
“The soft serve is the best around. All of the staff has been friendly. And communication with the owners is beyond pleasant. They are so kind and always accomodating! We have seen them at community events, hired them to come to my sons birthday as well as the experience of hearig the ice cream truck and running outside to catch it with our kids. They have so gracefully brought back a wonderful childhood memory that I can share with my boys.”
“Best coffee in Melbourne. Please try to support local companies like this one! I also love that if you buy coffee from them they will grind it to the size that you need. I'm a regular here because of the quality of their coffee.”
“The food at Paisley Vegan Kitchen is absolutely out of this world! I’m not a vegan myself, but I would eat here every day for the rest of my life if I could! Portion sizes were fantastic and the food was so tasty!! I couldn’t finish my whole sandwich, so took it to go and it was equally fantastic on the reheat (which rarely happens at other places). Highly recommend the buffalo crispy chicken sandwich and French dip. Also the cupcakes are to die for!! Don’t miss out whether you’re vegan or not. This restaurant is amazing!”
“Great selection of ice cream flavors and a gazillion toppings. Lots of unique creations to try as well. If you can't make up your mind, the flight is a great way to try a variety. Nice atmosphere and friendly service. I wish I lived closer to be able to return more often.”
“Just had breakfast there today and it was a great experience. The owner (Raul) greeted us at the door and welcomed us to the diner. He also followed up with us after our meal. Wendy waited our table, not only did she provide great service, she was an excellent communicator. The breakfast was cooked in a reasonable time for a Sunday morning, was delicious and priced fairly. 5 out of 5 recommend you try La Loma for breakfast some time.”
“we had the calamari,mozzarella cheese sticks,and fried pickles as appetizer. came out hot and quick and was absolutely delicious. best calamari I've ever had !! we also had a seafood boil and shrimp basket and kids got chicken fingers. everything was fresh and hot. definitely recommend this place !!! cocktails are great too.”
“My wife and had a wonderful meal last night at Intracoastal Brewery. My burger was spot on and my wife loved her rice bowl with pulled pork. All was topped off with several great brews, and fantastic atmosphere in the beer garden with great tunes.. Highly recommend you get there when you can. You wont be disappointed.”
“Amazing pizza that reminds me of home with their New York style pizza. They took the taste of the best New York pizzaria and managed to elevate it. Hats off to the staff, best pizza in central Florida. Will be back!”
“Great little spot for sushi & Thai food! Food was ready soon after calling in to order. Highly recommend the miso soup! My sushi came along with some tempura & a spring roll. It was a nice surprise! The staff are so friendly. I'd definitely come back!”
“The place is absolutely amazing relaxing and the family and staff are truly the best. Food is delicious and the pizza is better than back at home in New Jersey. Portions are huge and good wine. Try it you won’t be disappointed. 5 stars in my book”
“Just ok, noodles were pre made, all clumped together, spring roll had been made long before and was dry. Meat on skewer was also pre-cooked. Based on all the reviews, we were disappointed.”
“New fav place! Can’t say enough amazing things about this restaurant; it’s clean, friendly staff, DELICIOUS FOOD, generous portion sizes, authentic (so much flavor) and did I mention delicious!! My husband and I finally made it here and already have plans on coming back next week!! 100% satisfied!!”
“Bacco Wine Cafe- Melbourne- 5 Stars When a restaurant has been in business for 18 years, I know one of two things. It's either the only restaurant in town, or it's the best. I am here to say that Bacco Wine Cafe in Melbourne is the latter of the two. The place is run by a husband and wife team, the husband, Loris, takes care of the front while his wife, Rafaella, runs the kitchen. As the place is reservation only, we were very fortunate and grateful that Loris gave us a table. He said we arrived early enough so it wouldn't be a problem. As my eyes began to devour the choices on the menu handed to us by Loris, I thought this was sure to be an amazing meal. However, our server, Jennifer had me briefly second guessing that assumption as she came across as a zombie. Or your typical 25-year-old. She was adequate enough as she got our order right but, really seemed to just go through the motions. I ordered a three-course meal consisting of Tagliatelle Alla Bolognese, the Veal Chop Alla Marsala and for dessert, I went with the Pere Cotte Al Vino Rosso. Jennifer was soon doing the zombie shuffle towards our table with a tray of culinary science concocted in the laboratory of Chef Rafaella, Ph.D. in foodology. As our gastronomical treasure was set before us, my sense of smell became overwhelmed with scrumptiousness. The odors spirling up from the plated art in wisps of steam would make a dead man salivate (which I found exceedingly ironic given the mortal condition of our server). My comestible journey began with the order of Tagliatelle Alla Bolognese. Sadly, this recipe has been hacked the world over. It has been reduced to "common" food status when in reality it was the dish of nobility as traditionally it consisted of beef and fresh cream, items not easily obtainable by the commoners. Chef Rafaella reminds everybody of the true origins of this dish by elevating it once again to noble standards. She starts by making her own pasta and finishes with the freshest cuts of prime meat around and tops it all off with a homemade Bolognese sauce that recalled to mind one of the nicknames of the city it hails from, "la grassa" or "the fat" in reference to the city's culinary mastery. After literally licking the plate clean (thatsa some sauce!), I directed my appetite towards the Veal Chop Alla Marsala. As my loyal followers know, this is my "barometer" for measuring a good Italian eatery. The Veal was obviously USDA Prime as it was so tender it practically melted on the palate. The mushrooms were fresh cut (YAY!) and Chef Rafaella really took it to the next level by using shaved garlic in her sauce. Served with riced garlic mashed potatoes and bedded atop a bevy of market fresh veggies this was truly a dish from a chef at the top of her game. However, Rafaella's chef-d'oeuvre this evening was her take on the classic Pere Cotte Al Vino Russo. What can I say about this delicious masterpiece of dessert? Was it perfect? Was it divine? Everything falls short. The pear was cooked unerringly to perfection and the red wine reduction sauce was out of this world. A dollop of fresh cream was the exclamation point to a fabulous meal. The Big Boy says, "What are you doing still reading this? Call Bacco and make a reservation. Now. Boun Appetito!!" #bigboydiningout #iamthebigboy”
“This was such a wonderful meal! Best dining experience I have ever had. Kudos to the chef!!!! Beautiful restaurant and WONDERFUL staff. The bartender and server were exceptional. BEST. MEAL. EVER.”
“Stopped in for lunch. The Mahi sandwich was awesome, loved the key lime honey Dijon sauce, the Brisket burger was a hit as well. The black garlic truffle fries were crisp and tasty. Service was quick and servers were very good.”
“We went to Chart House 2x during our time in Melbourne. Our first visit was in the dining area and Christian put server was excellent. We ordered from the Early Dining menu and my wife's snapper was very good and my shrimp pasta was just OK, nothing special. The Creme Brule desert was to die for!Our second time we ventured into the lounge for the happy hour menu. Great prices on everything, $8 Mango Mojito, $7 glass of Merlot. We had Coconut Shrimp (7), best I've had, and Fish Tacos (2) wife loved them. And we finished it off with a Lava Cake and our total bill was $45.We will definitely be back for this!!!”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“To date the best Italian hoagie I have had! Fresh sliced meat, the veggies were fresh and crisp. Staff was attentive and you could tell they cared about their business! Very clean dining area also!”
“Love this place !! My office orders lunch from here all of the time. Every single time we order, the food is awesome!! The staff is always so friendly and helpful!! There has never been any mistakes on our orders and we usually order a good amount of meals. I would recommend this place to anyone !”
“Ella took such great care of me, her customer service is top tier, she has such a great personality and she has the same name as my niece, that was the cherry on top! :) I really love the vibe at 7 brew and have never had a bad experience, I will be back for sure!!”
“Update, the manager, (Tracy, I hope I spelled that correctly!), reached out to me and expressed her concern and a sincere apology for my interaction with their store. She did everything in her power to rectify the situation. I may have been hasty in my assessment and will give them another try in the near future. I should also say, that the ice cream is very good! Thank you for hearing my concerns and thinking enough of me as a customer to take the time to explain and rectify my complaints.”
“They are always so friendly and my order is correct 95% of the time. (we all make mistakes!) Service is always super quick. I stopped going to the "other place" when I have a 7Brew around ♡”
“everything at this Hardee's that taste great.. it might be a fast food restaurant but the people in there make it like a HomeTown neighborhood family restaurant staff is great the owners are great the food is great I go there at least 3 to 4 times a week BBB best biscuits in Brevard made from scratch every single morning”
“This place is clean and welcoming. The food is Fresh meats and sandwich veggies. I give it 5 stars because it is so fresh. I enjoyed the fresh bread and meats. I would recommend it over its competitors.”
“THESE EMPLOYEES ARE THE KINDEST HUMANS IN ALL OF BREVARD. It's always such a delight to go to Indian River Coffee Company, not only are their drinks delicious and made with so much care but the staff always has a smile on their face and cheery attitudes. Ive caught myself on multiple occasions going out of the way of my rout to grab a drink from these guys just because of the radiant positivity their employees portray and the amazing service they provide. INCREDIBLE coffee. Best in Melbourne”
“I had a minor issue with my sub today during what I know was a busy lunch situation, and the manager of the store took the time to call me and personally apologize for the issue. He was so kind and said they'd use it as a learning opportunity. You don't see customer service of that level these days anymore. Really amazing!”
“This place never fails to impress. I went there around 10:45 they closed at 11 and the food was still fresh not the end of the shift. It’s like having an old style burger joint on demand. Love it!!!”
“Boi they mess up my order every single time without a fail.NitroLess iceExtra foamBut place is good and staff is good too no complaints there.But sometimes I don't like asking to fix my order that means waste of money?Expensive coffee. If I stop spending money there I will save $260/ month and $3120/year duh!”
“? Great Place for a Late Breakfast or Lunch ?I stopped here for breakfast. It opens at 9:00. I received my order quickly, and it was warm when I opened the wrapping. The staff were friendly, addressed me by name, and got my order correctly.The lines started getting crowded around lunch, which speaks to its popularity. I would happily eat here again.”
“Unlike the large chain around here, multiple sizes are available. They have a lot more flavors as well for making a custom drink. Service was great, store is very clean.”
“We ordered the bowl with teriyaki chicken and fried rice! And, the honey walnut shrimp and sesame chicken plate with double chow mein. We also ordered the veggie spring rolls. It was all delicious! The staff was very friendly and helpful!”
“A friend and I ate there yesterday. The food and service were excellent. Since covid, this Sonnys has been very hit or miss, and because of this, I haven't eaten here quite as often. In the past, you would be standing at the front to be seated, and nobody would acknowledge you standing there. After about 10 minutes I would leave with my group of friends. I heard many other people say the same thing. Also, they don't let you order ahead and eat in their dining room when you get there, you can only order to go and take it with you. That doesn't help when you are on your lunch break and have limited time with your coworkers. After covid, the food took a long time to come out of their kitchen. So, they have lost a lot of business by not being able to seat people and then taking a long time to get their food out for the past few years. I hope the experience I received yesterday is the new norm so I can start going there more often. I love Sonnys food when it is cooked and served correctly. My rating is based on yesterday's experience. I took off a star for my past experience. Had I rated them in the past, it would be a zero star rating if I could.”
“The family ate some dope stuff from Nitro Sushi Food Truck (pictures below??). I'm over here like can they make a Mitsuri rice pudding where it is sweet? ? like a guava ?(???)and maybe kiwi ?type of rice pudding dessert ? ??♀️”
“I eat lunch at Longhorn very often and It's just a great place. The food, the service and the atmosphere are top notch. I would particularly like to bring attention to the amazing server, Jessica. She is the absolute Best.”
“Everything was so good. We were happy to try somewhere new. Great service and great food. What more can you ask for? It's a far drive for us but we will be back. Thanks Crafty Crab!”
Cheap Eats
“This was my 1st visit and it was nice. Friendly staff, place was clean even though they were a little busy. Pretty friendly on the deck was awesome! Only had the gator bites and a mixed drink but they were great! Can't wait to visit ”
“Our family of six adults enjoyed a great meal at Sabor De Minas. We were greeted warmly and promptly seated. The food was fresh and tasty. We would highly recommend this gem of a restaurant!”
“Hands down one of the best local food places around. Their black bean tortilla quesadilla with smoked pulled pork is AMAZING. If you're looking for some good food and good vibes, this is the place to try!”
“I had the fried oysters and spicey beef soup. They were both very good. The oysters were cooked perfectly. Soft and fluffy, not rubbery. I would definitely recommend.”
“We ordered my sons birthday cupcakes from Eatz Suntree and they were made gluten free special order! They were amazing and everyone loved them! Can’t recommend them more!”
“Literally the best cfs I’ve ever had. Everything we had was amazing. We all got something different due to it being our first time and wanted to make sure we got to try a little bit of something. We all shared our meals and it was all so good. I drove over an hour to come try mulberry lane and it was so worth it and will definitely become a regular thing for my family.”
“FOOD HEAVEN!!! Fantastic-fantastic food! We have ordered 5 different meals (soup, sushi and dishes) and we couldn’t stop praising each one! Highly recommended!!!”
“The best part about Palm Shores Bistro is the consistency. If you've been here once, you can know what to expect every time. But that's about all I can say is really great about the restaurant. Nothing is particularly bad at or about the resturant, it's all just decent. It's not the kind of place where you eat a meal that you reflect on. Just by my personal experience, it's usually a good 30-minute wait for food. Nothing ever really comes out hot if you're with a party, and it feels like all the plates are waiting on one dish for them to be served. The wait staff are friendly and welcoming and have always met every request, but every time I have been, it feel like I have to hunt them down for a refill or whatever my table may need. Overall, I do regularly come here for breakfast with my family, and I'm never disappointed with my breakfast because I know exactly what to expect. The food isn't over the top, but it is still good. It's a good place to start your morning and have a meal where you can actually dine with your family. Would recommend showing up earlier due to the restaurant usually getting fairly full by later morning. Recommendation for food is Jordan's Big Breakfast with French Toast.Parking: It's a smaller restaurant, so depending on what time you go, the parking lot can get pretty full with a long wait time for a table.”
“The food here is excellent! White an extensive menu. A great place for families to gather and enjoy a home-cooked meal. The live entertainment is an added bonus!”
“Food was quick and hot. I had the Yin -Yang (Bun). It was very good. Service was fabulous and very accommodating. We had a large party and our waiter was very patient.”
“Really nice place! Quite modern and yet still has the "Mexican restaurant charm". Our waitress was super and the food is just as you would expect - great flavor, good quality, and prepared well.”
“Rain-Bo Island-1905 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. #103, Melbourne, FL 32901 4 Stars When I reflect on Asian restaurants, what never ceases to amaze me is that while employees are typically quite proficient at reciting a well written English script, they are nonetheless equally perplexed, bewildered, and thrown into a morass of utter confusion, if one asks a question which may deviate from the prepared dialogue in any way. This proclivity might make perfect sense, if Brevard County were home to an overwhelmingly large Asian community but alas, it is not. I arrived very early Monday morning, and I'm quite certain that fish is not delivered on Sundays. Therefore, I can confidently deduce that the tuna used in both the bowl, and the sushi were lovingly stored with care. Remarkably, the tuna tasted as if it had been caught this very morning and filleted to perfection. Both the tuna poke bowl, and the tuna avocado roll were excellent. I will submit, however; if the ever dreadful, and assuredly cardialgia inducing seaweed salad had been withheld from the tuna poke bowl as requested, this had potential to be a five-star review. Big Boy Says, "If you learn how to say no to seaweed salad in either Thai or Chinese, there is a five-star meal waiting."”
“The Soup Shop is one of my favorite places to get lunch to-go and by far my favorite soup place. It is about 5 minutes from our office and we probably order once a week.Chicken enchilada soup & chicken pot pies are my favorites. My coworkers love the tomato basil & chili”
“Best breakfast place around, everyone is always friendly especially Tim he makes you feel like your home. Blueberry pancakes, sausage and bacon are delicious, will definitely go back.”
“!BEST CUBAN SANDWICH!My Dad took me out for lunch here and we split their cuban pressed sandwich, I also got a REAL Cuban coffee. I can't rave enough about that Cuban sandwich.The coffee was perfect. The fresh pork, ham and the cup of hot sauce provided was awesome! I added a little extra of Blue Agave Sriracha I had and a bit of Yellow mustard.Insanely delicious! If you're craving great Cuban food, this place is definetely worth the trip!Parking: It's a fairly small shop, and parking isn't terrible if not too busy.”
“What a place!! One of the best Indian foods I’ve ever eaten in my life! Definitely recommended, atmosphere’s great, service is excellent, super tasty food and 100% original. Place is super clean, and has a good location. Do visit here! They give you entree also with your order.”
“Good food and service at reasonable prices. Strongly recommend they setup a separate cashier for diners. Getting stuck behind someone buying 20+ trinkets isn't fun.”
“We enjoyed a delicious meal here, with very tender and flavorful meats. The sides are excellent and the salad bar offers a wide variety of options. Definitely recommend visiting this place!”
“My friends and I have been meeting at Chez Cani every Saturday. The food and the service is superb! Every menu option we have ordered has been delicious and it is hard to choose a favourite ❤️”
“I have been a regular customer at this Fujiyama for years the service was always good except for when I had this one particular waitress. When this waitress waited on me the long wait and cold food was a constant issue I never said anything about it until today when I had been waiting 30 minutes for my food and she waited on her male friend and proceeded to eat her lunch and I still had no food on my table I went to the front area and asked if I could pay for my iced tea and said that I was leaving. This waitress appeared and said what's the problem? I said the service was ridiculous I said I've waited 30 minutes while you served someone else and proceeded to start eating your lunch. This waitress said then said to me leave and don't come back! I asked to see the manager who appeared in nonchalantly said what's the problem I told him what she had said he said she has issues sometimes and if I come back in again he'll try to get me a different waitress. I will never return to this restaurant exclamation point I told him that I am in a management customer service position and would never speak to a customer that way. He just Shrugged his shoulders. By the way the waitress's name is Sadie”
“OMG, my husband and I stopped just driving by. This will be our Italian restaurant from now on. The food was great, rigatoni was the best and you have to try the bruschetta with mushrooms and sausage.”
“There are so many things that I love about this place. I have been going with friends since they have opened. The food is amazing and their juice is to die for. The people there are so kind and fun and anytime I am there you don't have to worry about hearing everyone's conversations because of the way it is set up. The deco is also very fun as well.”
“Food was ok. Nothing special. Service was not great all. I never got a refill along with others in the party. Even though some asked multiple times. Yet we still had to pay the tip at 20% because it was over 8 people. I think that is CRAZY because they aren't serving us food and didn't even give us refills of water. I have heard about the awful service but was willing to give it a try. Won't do that again unfortunately. Jokes on us, crappy service yet the servers still banked. I do have to say the cooks that were in the breeze way were great!!!!!!!”
“Just had there chicken bowl and dumplings. Both are very good. Suprisingly good, hence my review. Chicken bowl w rice and 2 peices of sushi was a nice touch. Kind service too, thanks fellas. Chicken was eaten before picture was taken, sushi not for me so no review on that. 5 stars.”
“We went here for all you can eat crab legs last year and I'm still craving it! My sister who is a die hard seafood fan LOVED it! Highly recommended for tasty seafood.”
“I was passing through, headed to vero beach from Disney. I found this GEM because it’s open later than most restaurants in the area, and it’s Italian (my favorite). Whenever I travel, I always try to find seafood pasta, coming from New England, we have the best!! My server Robin was wonderful. Let me tell you the Zuppa de pesce was TOP NOTCH!!!!! The spicy marinara and seafood were perfect. I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant!Parking: Huge parking lot. I didn’t have a problem finding parking.”
“Beautiful restaurant with kind staff and great atmosphere. Food was amazing and we loved the blend of South American and Carribean menu items. Definitely recommend the lamb.”
“Best Thai food around. I just discovered this awesome truck is parked here. I used to wait all month in hopes to find them at cocoa beach Friday Fest before they sold out! Now I can drive over in 15 mins to fix my crazing for their basil chicken. Worth the drive! Superb, family run restaurant with authentic and fresh flavors.”
“We stopped by Chef's Table for an impromptu Friday night dinner, fully expecting to sit in the bar area as we arrived at peak dinner time with no reservation. Instead we were seated at the chef's counter and had a great time watching the kitchen work hard to prepare plate after plate of tasty looking food. Our server and sommelier Marc provided excellent service, despite being extremely busy and all the other staff were also attentive and friendly. We had the appetizer special of a delicious burrata and warm tomato salad then the scallops with risotto and a new york strip with asparagus for our entrees. Knowing we were planning on splitting our food, Marc arranged for us to get a beautiful sharing board. A huge shout out to chefs Brian and Phoenix for such a treat! Everything was cooked extremely well and seasoned perfectly. We hadn't been to Chef's Tabl for a while but we will certainly be adding them into our rotation after this fantastic meal.”
“Ava made a perfectly balanced cocktail (and we were lucky to try quite a bit of the menu). Also she is quite beautiful. She might be what Ai would create in a bartender.”
“Absolutely outstanding experience at Outback in Viera! From the moment you walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive. The ambiance was perfect, and the food was cooked as requested. A special shoutout to the waitress MIA!!! who made the dining experience truly fabulous!!!And to Tiffany the Manager on Duty, It's evident that she genuinely cares for her patrons, her staff, and the overall dining experience. I will return next time I am in Viera.”
“Had a great experience dining in, this was a great first experience at this Carrabbas location. The food was hot and fresh, and our server Neil was friendly and speedy with his service, making sure my friend and I were well taken care of and had everything we needed. I will be coming back to this location!”
“We've never had bad food or bad service here but it can be a little loud sometimes.The freshly baked bread is the best and the Calamari is nice & crispy!”
“The shrimp boil was so good! Tender shrimp, potatoes and corn all cooked to perfection. Every item was so fresh. I had the “mild” seasoning. The portions were very generous too! I will definitely return.”
“Stopped in for a drink and listen to live music. They have plenty of draft beers, so I ordered the local Intracoastal Brewing Dragon Point IPA. You can never go wrong with Intracoastal Brewing. My wife ordered the daily special, Cecil’s Cyclone. It was a tasty vodka drink that she enjoyed. With a full liquor bar, good service and lots of entertainment will ensure we’ll be back.”
“Planet Grilled Cheese, Melbourne Square Mall, 1700 West New Haven Avenue, Suite 385, Melbourne, FL- 3-Stars The first time I ever encountered a restaurant dedicated solely to grilled cheese sandwiches I was in Providence, Rhode Island and was totally blown away. So, imagine my excitement when I saw that Planet Grilled Cheese replaced Subway in the food court at Melbourne Square. This franchised gem is not going to win any culinary awards, but they do quickly and competently prepare a grilled cheese. These slightly above average sandwiches might have curbed my enthusiasm, but as classic comfort food goes, these handhelds still comforted. I should point out that the cashier thought I was secretly recording her. I ask you, is there anything quite as refreshing as encountering schizophrenia in a company representative? I’m not sure what I did to make her so cagey. I tried coaxing a smile from her with no luck. But getting back to the food. I ordered the Four Cheese Melt, described as having “All-Natural Cheddar, Mozzarella, Provolone and American.” Next came the Chicken Bacon Ranch, billed as containing “American, All-Natural Cheddar & Mozzarella, Antibiotics-and-Hormones-Free Grilled Chicken, Smoked Bacon, and Creamy Ranch.” Last was the Ultimate Club, indicated to be comprised of “American, All-Natural Cheddar, Antibiotics-and-Hormones-Free Grilled Chicken, Smoked Bacon, Fresh Lettuce, Vine Ripe Tomatoes and Mayo. This might be just your simple, basic, frozen reheat chicken and bacon, but for fast food, this place is a notch above your run-of-the-mill burger joint. Nothing great, nothing bad. All sandwiches on the menu (like those made at this spot by Subway before Planet Grilled) are touted as being served on locally baked bread. The Big Boy says, “If you are hankering for a grilled cheese sammie, Planet Grilled Cheese is a solid choice. No harm, no foul. Just don’t make eye contact with Ally.””
“Our server, Dante, was lovely, just the right degree of attentiveness. The food was very well cooked and well presented, and the new wine list is impressive. The house red is very palatable!”
“We made reservations online. The hostess, Carmen, was helpful when I called to confirm and let her know it was a surprise birthday dinner, so 3 of us would be arriving 15 minutes later than birthday guests. Unfortunately, the person at the front when we checked in (not Carmen) blew the surprise by asking if we were the "party of 8". It all worked out though, as our son did not have enough time to process her words before we arrived at the table, and he was surprised to see his friends. Will, our server, was fun, entertaining, and happy to share birthday cheer, as his birthday is just a couple days before our son's!”
“I can always count on Target for gift cards. I went to get a gift card for friends and I was very happy with their selection...I was able to choose from restaurants, stores, cinemas, Google play, regular VISA, MC or AMEX, etc. I find that giving a credit card gift card like VISA is easier since the recipient can spend on anything they want...when they are given a specific gift card like a restaurant or store, they really need to tailor their purchase to that particular establishment. Call me practical, but that is what is easier for me....”
“Our absolute FAVORITE place to go in Brevard!!! It was also one for the first we went to when we moved here. Not only is the food absolutely astounding every time we have been here but the fun, fresh, exotic menu that changes every season or so is one of the best things about 28 north!!!! We have been customers for over two years and truly adore this place. Phenomenal food, great atmosphere and all around amazing experience!”
“We’ve heard about the Mansion since moving to Melbourne and finally had a chance to check it out. I had the Blackened Salmon BLT on Ciabatta which was incredibly good. Another member of our group had the Florentine BLT which If you’ve never seen one is ginormous. We also had the Loaded Mansion Nachos with chicken which is a mountain on a plate. Chicken was cooked perfect and there was an abundance of pico and queso and black beans. Incredible. We’ll be back—highly recommend!”
“Emily was a wonderful server! She was prompt, efficient, and very kind. She engaged our two young kids and made our dining experience perfect. Food was delicious! Tuscany Grill is our favorite!Kid-friendliness: Large booths, friendly staff.”
“Did a quick night away and stayed at the Rialto. Had dinner here and it was good. I ordered the salmon and it was amazing! It had a yellow curry sauce with jasmine rice. My husband ordered the peppercorn steak and it was not the best cut of steak so would not recommend that. The cook was perfect and the potatoes were fabulous along with the broccolini, though. Service was fast and friendly. The lava cake was to die for! Also had an espresso martini!”
“I had lot of funny there beautiful places everyone nice over. my boyfriend cheat on me with other women. pay someone 4hundred dollars to humiliated my boyfriend wear diapers and he need spanking on Jan 12 in palm bay Florida yes or no”
“This is the best Chinese-Japanese restaurant I've had in Melbourne and it was very busy at dinner. I was pleasantly surprised by the food and not disappointed. highly recommended. The waiters are very enthusiastic and the chef is very nice.”
“Fresh made margaritas and the best food I have had in months. We went early afternoon and it was a quiet atmosphere with extremely kid friendly staff. The chips are extra addicting and my 3 year old ate almost a whole order in his own.Kid-friendliness: Staff went out of their way to make sure the kids enjoyed themselves and even brought our little girl some orange slices.”
“Excellent service, the food with very good flavor, the pernil was our chosen dish and we loved it, for dessert a cheese flan was also very delicious. Thank you, we will return.”
“Rendezvous is NOT closed, I repeat it is NOT closed. It never closed, fake news. I have to go run the kitchen there in a few hours, so I know. It has been half way renamed, though the sign for Rendezvous is still there, the sign inside the hotel is now' H Street Grille'. Regardless Drinks and good food to be had. #Notclosed”
“Went there Saturday 9pm. I generally like Charleys, but my last 2 times I tried it at different location and it was not good. I gave this location a shot. I ordered in kiosk. Just standard cheesesteak and fries. Everything came out fast and fresh. The cheesesteak was not moist and wet, it was fresh, the bun was little crunchy and soft. Fries were fresh and hot. Good choice on Saturday evening!”
“We had their special dinner for two…a full slab of bbq ribs,fall off the bone tender ,with four sides and it even included an appetizer, salad , or dessert. We chose the dessert, hot donuts with dipping sauces. Service was great, food was delicious, very enjoyable meal.”
“This has been our anniversary spot our entire marriage. Great food, great show, great service, great white sauce, and great sake. We always look forward to our anniversary dinner at Makotos!”
“1st time ordering. I don't look at reviews until after or during the meal. This is why. Not sure why so many bad reviews. Everything we ordered was delicious. Sauce on the side so meat was cooked good. Boom Boom sauce is great. Extra sauces were tasty too, so will try more flavors everytime. Will definitely order from here again an again. ?”
“We went for the all you can eat hot pot and were highly impressed! There is a learning curve since we never have had it before but the staff was very helpful. Great selection of veggies, meats and seafood. Don’t forget the huge selection of sauces! We will be back .”
“My wife and I went here for the first time and we absolutely loved it! The food was great, the service was good and the views were amazing. We went at sunset and it was really nice to watch from up there. It's a bit on the pricey side but for a romantic date night it's one of the best places I've been to in a while.”
“These are the nastiest wings I ever had in my life, I ordered a 16 piece lemon pepper hot wing and they sent one order of bland hot wings with curly frys and a order of no flavor tasteless wings with cury frys I did not know chicken could be so bland and nasty. we didn't even eat them they're just sitting there, we did not even have dinner because it was so bad.”
“Best burger, excellent fries. Had one regular burger, one cheeseburger, one large fry, one regular coke, and a shake. $42, wow.Yeah, it's good eats, but for a few more bucks, we could have gone out for steaks.”
“This place is the REAL DEAL!!! ? The curry goat was SPOT ON like we used to have at Christmas! ??the sorrel was good, too. ? Would have loved for them to serve their ice cream by the scoop instead of by the bin. Some ice cream would’ve gone nicely with their delicious looking carrot and rum cakes.? Would’ve like it to be a little roomier. Still, I highly recommend this spot!!!”
“This place...You wouldn't expect it.It's a sleeper.It shares a building with a lobby of an adjacent hotel.Don't let that fool you.Get the A Là Carte Menu and you won't be disappointed.The people are amazing, so sweet.The food is just as good.They will take care of you.Stop in on your way to the beach from Orlando, you won't regret it.”
“we went there on Christmas Eve five of us was nice it was freezing cold in there food was ok but took a long time to come to us we complained about how cold it was they did very little to help”
“The Food was amazing. It came pretty fast and a robot brought several order to us. Great service, the staff were very polite. Overall it was amazing.Vegetarian options: Several Japanese rules, cucumber, avocado, asparagus, sweet potato, and mixed veggies. They also have soup and appetizers that are vegetables only.Wheelchair accessibility: Awesome traveling in w/ my knee scooter several times!!”

“They were very accommodating with me when I needed special menu adjustments because of food intolerance.I didn't feel like I was a bother to them.Dietary restrictions: When you can't eat eggs, dairy, chicken, garlic, or ginger, you have a terrible time finding a good place to eat.I told them my issues, and they nicely helped me with my selection and made sure that it was right before they brought it to me. Great service and tasty food ?Win-win”
“Ate here for the 1st time today. Breakfast was great and the waitresses were friendly. I had the cheese omlet with bacon and my wife had 2 eggs, bacon. Definitely check out this little gem!”
“The 905 Cafe- Downtown Melbourne- 4 stars Secreted away in a small niche amongst a gaggle of shops, boutiques, art galleries, and eating establishments awaits a true culinary gem for your enjoyment. I am speaking, of course, about the 905 Cafe in the Historic Arts district of the sprawling metropolis that is downtown Melbourne, FL. The first thing that struck me as I entered and approached the counter for service was the fact that 905 has somehow kept the same ambiance for over 20 years. Not sure how they do it, but if they could bottle it and sell it, they could make a fortune. After placing my order for an Egg Salad sandwich on marbled rye and a Chicken Salad on fresh greens with the pleasant, attentive, on-the-ball counter staff, I noticed patrons comfortably seated upon antique chairs dining with utter enjoyment on the fare offered and I couldn't help but think that if Paris Hilton or her ilk (tall, skinny blondes with purse poochies) were living in Melbourne, FL. this is where they would dine. This is the kind of place that people in Hollywood go to see and be seen. The ambiance is sophisticated enough to draw their crowd, yet homey enough for the average tourist from Nebraska. Again, if they could bottle this...Anyway, I digress, back to the task at hand. My order was plated artfully and placed on a tray with a smile awaiting my pick up. I enthusiastically grabbed it off the counter and tried to casually walk to the nearest table as my eyes devoured the feast in front of me and my olfactory senses became overwhelmed with the scent of freshly baked bread wafting up from my tray. The marbled rye was still warm from the oven and had that springiness of freshly baked bread while the crust was a perfect mix of firmness and chewiness that is a must in a good bread. The taste of the bread alone was exquisite, add to that the made to order egg salad and I was in the sandwich equivalent of Valhalla (Skol!). After making the delicious egg salad disappear in a matter of moments, I moved on to the Chicken Salad Salad. As with the Egg Salad, their Chicken Salad is made to order, none of that half hour old stuff out of a bucket for these guys. It was perfectly made to the right degree of creaminess and sat majestically atop a bed of freshly selected baby Spring greens all topped with hand cut fresh strawberries and real, honest to YiaYia, goat's milk Feta. The Big Boy says, "whether you are a high-society, stilettos in the sand wearing, purse puppy toting fashionista or a surfer from Beachside in baggies, a T-shirt and flops looking for a sophisticated dining experience with delicious, made to order, better than down-home cooking, head on over to the 905 Cafe. You do, however, have to leave Princess Buttercup at home. Health codes and all..”
“The best part about Palm Shores Bistro is the consistency. If you've been here once, you can know what to expect every time. But that's about all I can say is really great about the restaurant. Nothing is particularly bad at or about the resturant, it's all just decent. It's not the kind of place where you eat a meal that you reflect on. Just by my personal experience, it's usually a good 30-minute wait for food. Nothing ever really comes out hot if you're with a party, and it feels like all the plates are waiting on one dish for them to be served. The wait staff are friendly and welcoming and have always met every request, but every time I have been, it feel like I have to hunt them down for a refill or whatever my table may need. Overall, I do regularly come here for breakfast with my family, and I'm never disappointed with my breakfast because I know exactly what to expect. The food isn't over the top, but it is still good. It's a good place to start your morning and have a meal where you can actually dine with your family. Would recommend showing up earlier due to the restaurant usually getting fairly full by later morning. Recommendation for food is Jordan's Big Breakfast with French Toast.Parking: It's a smaller restaurant, so depending on what time you go, the parking lot can get pretty full with a long wait time for a table.”
“I've visited this spot several times. Recently it came under new management and it shows! The Buisquits & Gravy are great! Visited today for lunch to pick up a takeout order and they were super welcoming and friendly! Looking forward to trying out some of their up and coming lunch menu! A must visit for fans of breakfast spots. 9.6/10 ☆sParking: There's about 15-20 spots, but if you're motivated, there is overflow parking available across the street. Just be safe crossing Eau Gallie!”

“Update, the manager, (Tracy, I hope I spelled that correctly!), reached out to me and expressed her concern and a sincere apology for my interaction with their store. She did everything in her power to rectify the situation. I may have been hasty in my assessment and will give them another try in the near future. I should also say, that the ice cream is very good! Thank you for hearing my concerns and thinking enough of me as a customer to take the time to explain and rectify my complaints.”
“We have eaten there before covid, ordered there tor years. Will never again. Food frozen at Costco would be better. It was frozen food reheated, horrible. We are so unhappy because we have eaten their food for years. No more!”
“OMG, my husband and I stopped just driving by. This will be our Italian restaurant from now on. The food was great, rigatoni was the best and you have to try the bruschetta with mushrooms and sausage.”

“The food was awesome. Clean eating. I’ve had the chickpeas and plantain, delish!! The chicken and plantain and the all natural drinks. I’ve tried limeade and my favorite so far is Mellopine. They are great! Oh , let me not forget the pumpkin stew and veg stew. I’m trying everything. This Wednesday is curried goat. ????I plate lasts me for 2 meals. The owners are great and very informative.”

“Hemmingway's Tavern is my favorite restaurant. The food is delicious. Never disappointed. Yucca fries...fabulous!!! Well, everything is delicious. I just can't wait for the Yucca. The service and atmosphere is great, too.”
“First of all I've been at this restaurant 3 times and the food is good. This last time I ordered the fish sandwich with cheese grilled onions and peppers. The sandwich was good to spite the fact that the amount of fish on it was disappointing to say the least! Not even half of what it should be! May my sandwich was just a fluke. I don't know. Anyway every thing else was good as usual. But it is a little pricey so My recommendation is Put Some Fish on The Sandwich! Do Recommend this restaurant though. Just a little heads up on the sandwich.”
“I took a friend for pizza today, it was a fairly wonderful experience. Service was great out the gate, very attentive server, the pizza was delicious. she got the mushroom, I got the Riccardo! Then I spilled a glass of water all over the table. I cleaned it up best I could with the napkins on the table. The server came by at one point to check on us, I let him know I'd spilled water and cleaned it up as best I could. He said, no big deal it's raining outside. Never cleaned it up, even brought the check 15 minutes later and laid it next to and on the spilled water. Everything up until the spilled water was great. I just cannot wrap my head around the lackadaisical behavior, not only by our server but the other 2 servers who stopped by to check on us. Perplexed to say the least.”
“If you want to enjoy an excellent view, 5-star food, good music and good service... this is your ideal place! And if you are one of those who enjoy a happy hour, this is not to be missed. Frozen pineapple and mahitai coconut hamburger it's a must.!!”

“We’ve come to this establishment many times and every time we’ve had nothing but fun! When it’s busy on the weekend you can expect a little wait for service at the bar but that is to be expected.
