They serve up a delicious assortment of wine and a fabulous specialty "Rebellion" burger (I believe only on Wednesday at this location) that you don't want to miss out on! Just look at how dense it is! The person who waited on us was the owner who is knowledgeable about the menu and clearly has a passion for wine! How he described all of the options made everything sound so intriguing! You really can't go wrong! I will definitely be coming back again and again for the rebellion burger and to try all the different wines! Their location in Cocoa Beach serves more food options (burger included) all the time, if you don't want to wait around for Wednesdays to roll around! They also have a wine club membership, which can be fun if you are into wine and experiencing new flavors.

**INITIAL REVIEW**…read more Apparently, the Yelp Skynet a.k.a. the AI that green or red flags reviews, doesn't like the actual name of this pub despite the fact it is the pub's name. Ergo, I will use the abbreviation VI for the remainder of this review. Besides that, you really can't go wrong going to any of the pubs in Historic Cocoa Village. VI is one of the pubs on the eastern side of the Village, in between the famous Fat Donkey's Ice Cream and the furthest east pub in the village, Ryan's. Appearance-wise, the outside fits primarily with the building, but there are some minute details that give it its own personality, primarily around its name. There is also a section of the road and sidewalk that have been garrisoned for VI as outdoor seating and games such as bean bag toss. Indoors, it is definitely your kinda pub that many of the patrons are friends. The right side (East) have long tables with many pub and drinking games such as Hook & Ring and Shut The Box. There is a bookshelf filled to the brim with board games in case patrons prefer traditional or childhood classics. The left side (West) is the "Patio," a room that is decorated by numerous plants, neon lighting, widker and a black-and-white checkerboard floor. Finally, the middle of the pub is the actual bar, in the form of an L-shape serving a nice arrangement of beers from many breweries, cideries, distilleries, and meaderies across the United States. I had the Kentucky Vanilla Barrel Cream Ale by Lexington Brewing and Distilling Co. Other beer selections I would recommend include the Pineapple Cider by the famous Carib Brewing Co. and the Mango Cart by Golden Road Brewing. Personal note on the latter: Mango Carts, well for me, only taste good when straight from the tap. Cans are not good. And the food, it is minimal, but boy does VI know how to tug at my heartstrings as everything they have features, or could feature, cheese. They have pretzels with cheese, pickles with cheese, and my personal favorite, grilled cheese sandwiches. And for the more sophisticated patron, they have numerous choices in charcuterie boards, too. I will also state the drink prices are a bit on the high side compared to some other places I been to. And there are two restrooms that are single-serving and gender-specific. I don't believe the latter has to be gender-specific because they are single-serving. The barn doors are an interesting choice because they are not very good at blocking sound. I guess that is why VI blasts the music so nobody can hear the flatulence. Speaking of music, VI does have a small corner stage for small acts, possibly singular, to perform. Unless there is a pull-out large stage for outdoor performances, I don't see big bands, per se in higher number of members, performing here unless they can all jam in that tight-spaced stage. Ultimately, I am going to give VI three-out-of-five stars for this review. They are a solid pub that has all the fixin's of a good bar to go to. Maybe it is safe to say they really don't stand out too much, especially amongst the more unique bars in Historic Cocoa Village. But still, a good place to have a drink with friends with that "Everybody knows your name" kinda vibe.

FOOD Features an a la carte menu with a great variety of small to large bites. We ordered the Pepper-Bacon Wrapped Dates, Lobster and Short Rib Veranda Sliders and the Wild Mushroom Flatbread. We were happy with our selections, the quality of the food and presentation. THE VERANDA The wine veranda and restaurant seating occupies the second floor of the building. An indoor second floor dining room spans the length of the building with open air veranda seating at the extremities of the building. It's a nice touch being seated in the veranda but it could get sweltering hot on bright sunny days.

Unfortunately, my experience at Alfredo's Paradiso was extremely disappointing. After waiting over an hour, I was served wheat pasta, which I cannot eat. I had assumed that it was gluten free because thats what I ordered, and ate the pasta but quickly realized the mistake. When I raised concerns, it took another 20 minutes to receive the correct dish, by then, my family had already finished their meals. The waitress seemed rushed and inattentive to my needs, which made the situation more frustrating. While the chef did apologize, we were still charged for the food despite the error and long delays. This experience made what should have been a pleasant family dinner unnecessarily stressful and dangerous. I don't recommend this restaurant if you have any dietary sensitivities

However, I still think there is a lot of room for improvement. I love the girly girl decor and the baristas are super sweet, but their coffee program is weak.
