We visited two nights in a row while staying at the hotel and she welcomed us back the next night as if we were old friends. We chose the crab cakes from the happy hour menu. They were really tasty. Not a lot of filler, which I loved. I could've eaten an order myself. For dinner we shared the ribeye... 17 ounces! The accompaniments were creative and yummy... I loved the carrot swirls... and the side of macaroni and cheese was soooo good. The hotel and restaurant are beautiful. The holiday decor added to the experience. We agreed that we would definitely return when in the area.

The food here is good. I've actually only dined here once but it is a nice atmosphere and the…read morepeople are really attentive. We usually do takeout (or attempt to) but they have this VERY frustrating policy that when they get "too busy" they shut off the ability to place your order online for pick up. When this happens I have to drive down here, place my order with the hosts/hostess and wait for the order. I was told that they only have one person doing takeout in the back so they shut online ordering off. I try to wrap my head around the logic. So basically they only have one person doing takeout so I have to drive down here and wait why that same person can do my order for takeout. The only difference being that I am now waiting and annoyed. I would love for someone to help me understand the logic in that. There are times that I don't even make the effort to come down to order so I just order from a different restaurant.

We were looking for a lunch spot to try in Cocoa Village and decided on Pub Americana. Our server…read morewas great and very helpful with letting us know popular dishes. I ordered the Americana club sandwich (pictured) and switched out the fries for sweet potato ones - I loved it! It was very delicious and filling. Other people in my party ordered the Americana burger amongst other things not pictured. They all said they enjoyed it. My only note about this place was that when we arrived it was basically empty and even with it being empty, the food took a while to come out - much longer than you'd expect for the restaurant being slow. Other than that the overall experience was good and I do recommend going if you want a tasty sandwich/burger.

At this point Ive been here at least 5-6 times since I've moved here, but the pictures are from the…read morefirst visit to keep it genuine. From the jump, it became one of my "if we dont know where we want to eat, go here" kind of places. Easy, consistent and delicious every single time. We started with the ahi tuna appetizer. I was apprehensive, a tuna app at a pub? Fresh fruit, ginger, tuna was seasoned well, I couldnt be happier. It was trying a well balanced poke bowl right from the start. The wings. Award winning. I am so picky about wings, so to have a place make them properly brings me to my happy place. The wings cooked well, and the buffalo sauce has a kick like its supposed to. Its been a MUST every visit. I dont even know if they have other flavors. We tried the SPECIALE PIZZETTA, and that now gets ordered every time. This place could legit be a pizza place. In an area where good pizza is hard to find, this is a perfect solution. Now Ive tried a few burgers, every burger has been seasoned perfectly and still juicy despite asking for medium well, its only a matter of what you'd like for a topping. The Village Blues burger may be my favorite so far, its the only one ive had twice. The staff is great with us, they always have new beers to try, and its a why not situation! My only ask at all would be steak frites on the menu, I think that would be made so fire in a spot like this. That said, I came to write this review thinking about them because I might just get dinner there today!

You wouldn't think from the look on the outside. Tucker was friendly and accommodating to us. The drinks were awesome and the food was great! I had Coconut shrimp and Fish & Chips. They were amazing alone but the London Pub Malt Vinegar was icing on the cake. They were nice, crispy and not oily. I had a Pink Starburst Martini and those are my favorite starbursts. It taste just like it, too. The next drink was the Pineapple Flirtini. I'm not big on sweet drinks, but these weren't watered down, so they were affective! We played on the cork dart board. It was nice to score ourselves with chalk instead of the typical electronic board. Yelp never lets me down!

St. Patrick's Day brought us in for the holiday menu, and while things moved a little slower than…read moreexpected, the overall experience was still a good one. The place clearly has a strong neighborhood vibe. Even on a holiday, it felt like a regular hangout spot where many of the patrons seemed to know each other and the bartenders. That kind of atmosphere always adds a layer of warmth you can't manufacture. Service-wise, our waitress was very friendly and attentive when she was at the table. Food delivery did take longer than expected considering the restaurant didn't appear overly busy, but to be fair, it was a specialized St. Patrick's Day menu which likely slowed the kitchen down. Now to the food. My co-diner ordered the corned beef Reuben, served on grilled rye with a generous pile of crinkle fries. The sandwich was stacked with tender corned beef and had that classic deli-style balance of meat and sauerkraut. He described it simply as "very good," which from him is a strong endorsement. I ordered the traditional Irish stew with potatoes and cabbage, which came plated with a hearty portion of mashed potatoes. The stew itself had a few nice chunks of beef and vegetables in a rich brown gravy that definitely leaned into bold seasoning. The only note is that the pepper level was quite heavy across the stew, mashed potatoes, and cabbage. If you're someone who enjoys a strong pepper-forward flavor profile, this will absolutely be right up your alley. Portions were generous and the meal definitely delivered that comfort-food, stick-to-your-ribs Irish pub feeling. Overall, a positive experience with friendly service, a welcoming neighborhood atmosphere, and hearty holiday fare. I'd happily come back again -- especially to explore more of the regular menu outside the St. Patrick's Day rush.

Came here for the first time and was very disappointed overall. Unfortunately the most blunt…read morereasoning for the bad experience is the fact that they have NO AC! We did notice sections had fans but they seated us in a back room that had absolutely no air. We even asked the server for a fan and she didn't have one. I feel bad because the servers looked equally hot. I know it's a speakeasy type theme but I don't actually want to eat in a time without ac haha. The server should've moved us to a cooler spot but we did have a bigger group (a reservation was placed). Next downfall was the drinks and food. Extremely overpriced and the quality was not it. Some of us had nicer looking drinks but the expresso Martini was black with two beans floating. Not appealing or tasty. The food was overcooked or sub-par quality and overpriced entirely. Nearly $20 for a flatbread.. seriously. The service amongst all else was very good. Our server immediately seated us and took our orders and delivered the food in a reasonable time frame. The ambiance and decor is actually really cute and on theme. They had live music. I really wanted to love this place as a local but they need to fix their ac and work on the quality control of their food and drinks.

I'm notoriously picky about food and usually eat simple, whole foods--which is why I was thrilled to discover DeQuanne's skill at the grill. My go-to meal is the steak, mashed potatoes, and asparagus (always cooked to absolute perfection), paired with Big Dog Kombucha. Expensive meal? Yes, but well worth the cost. I'm so grateful they keep it stocked--there's nothing better than winding down at Vintage Vault with an ice-cold kombucha after a leisurely afternoon stroll through Cocoa Village. As a bonus, they somehow source incredible tomatoes. I almost never eat restaurant tomatoes, but the fresh slices on their salads and flatbreads are delicious. Just last weekend, one of my friends mentioned how much they enjoyed the tomato on the flatbread. What a nice surprise! The tomatoes really are noteworthy.

It was good not great. I would try something different. Husband had snapper tacos. He liked it very much. He stated that it was very good, but not the best he has ever had. He didn't like it so much when he got the bill. $23! Not worth it. I had the Caribbean bowl with Mahi. (Added avocado for extra $3). The whole dish was very bland. It needed a sauce or something with flavor. The teaspoon of mango salsa was good, it needed more. I was disappointed in the food, but the ambience was supurb.
