    Creme Brulee a must
    Julie D.

    First the gentlemen Cameron was our server and althrough out our dining experience was very knowledgable of the dishes and wines and the tastes of the dishes. My son had the famous burger there and I had the 8 ounce filet and substituted the veggie for their famous collard greens, does have an upcharge for it for a few dollars but was doable. We topped off Fathers day with the Creme Brulee and it was fantastic. I cannot name one bad or wrong thing about this place. Yes it is expensive but it was Fathers Day and it was WELL worth it. The ambiance is very nice in there and dress code would be least a nice blouse and trousers not a flip flop place.

    Salmon Crispy Rice
    Alessandro G.

    Contemporary American in Downtown Melbourne's Flatiron Building The menu features carefully crafted dishes in a warm atmosphere with professional service. This is a place you can count on for a special night out. We started with the Medjool Dates and Salmon Crispy Rice. Both were fantastic "snacks" to start the meal off right. For entrees we ordered the Grouper Fresh Catch and Salmon. The Grouper had us at curtido, and the Salmon had us at coconut curry. Both of these dishes were top tier, truly phenomenal dishes.

    This is absolutely the place to be. The ambiance is fantastic, and the staff are incredible--attentive, knowledgeable, and they make you feel like family. I had an amazing experience and will definitely be coming back. If I could give more stars, I would! The food was delicious as well.

    Chicken Artichoke Mushroom Fettuccini
    Mike K.

    Crush is a nice restaurant located in downtown Melbourne. It is a good place to bring family and friends or just a date for an evening of good food and great service. We started our meal with cocktails consisting of blackberry and Serrano chili in the style of a margarita, they were fresh and well prepared. We had Caesar salads for starters and an onion tart which was very good. Our mains consisted of artichoke mushroom fettuccini also very good and the fish of the day blackened grouper served in a style I would categorize as Caribbean The real standout dish was the creamy shrimp orecchiette with andouille, so spicy and delicious! This was my third time here, it never disappoints

    Brunch burger and truffle fries
    Christina C.

    I met two friends here on a Saturday around 12:30 and was surprised to find the restaurant nearly empty, especially for what would normally be considered a holiday weekend. We were seated and greeted promptly, and our waiter was pleasant and attentive, frequently refilling our water. One curious note, not really a complain, was how long it took to receive our Diet Cokes and subsequent refills. Just an amusingly long wait time. The pricing and decor lean toward a slightly more upscale dining experience. Two of us ordered the brunch burger with truffle fries, and one ordered the traditional breakfast. Everyone was very happy with their meals. The truffle fries were excellent, and the burger was juicy and well prepared. Although it didn't affect our orders, they were out of the poblano potatoes, salmon, and crab cakes. I imagine that could be disappointing for some guests, but the waiter was upfront about it, which I really appreciated. I hope the lack of customers was just an anomaly, because it's a nice addition to downtown Melbourne and the food was genuinely good.

    Dates
    Gina T.

    What a beautiful night. Service was wonderful. Nicole was so great and personable. Couldn't recommend any more based on service alone. I have to eat GF and they were more than accommodating and knowledgeable. The food was good. I opted for the dates and the pork-chop entree. It was a tad saltier tasting than I prefer but I am sure that is a "me thing". Finally, I always check out the French 75 cocktail at new places. This did not disappoint! Easily one of the top 3 I had had! Will certainly come back next time I am in town.

    Risotto and Truffle Fries
    Erin H.

    Came in for drinks and small bites without RSVP and sat at the bar. Stu, the bartender was friendly and gave some good notes and recommendations on their cocktail selection, and we ultimately went with a gin sour and an espresso martini! Both were fantastic and definitely worth the price! Well crafted and balanced with flavor/alcohol. Bryan the GM also came by to check on us, and he was very friendly - making sure we were enjoying everything! Would split some fries and risotto which was delicious, so I would definitely come back for dinner. Great vibes and staff here! Would be good for date nights or celebrations in a group!

    Smoked Duck Fettuccini
    Maeghan E.

    Doug was an awesome server! We enjoyed the drinks and the food. The area of the restaurant is very cute and walkable. However, I ended up getting food poisoning from the duck fettuccine. Did anyone else dine there on 8/30 and feel sick the next day? I'm still so nauseas and sick 2 days later ‍

    Onion Tart
    Andre S.

    Torn about this review. Came here based on the amazing reviews and initially was happy with the choice. The hostess was very accommodating with our seat selection and I was very happy with the ambiance of the restaurant. Our waiter, Matthew, was extremely polite and attentive. The only hiccup was with the appetizer order. We ordered the corn crab fritters and the onion tart. I don't eat pork and there was no mention of pork on the corn crab fitters. However as I chowed down on the fritters in the dim light of the restaurant I noticed the crab cakes were covered in crumbled bacon. Not the way I wanted to start my night. This turned me off for the rest of the meal and we ended up leaving. Matthew was extremely apologetic. We'd come back, but Next time I'll make sure to question all menu items.

    What an amazing experience. I couldn't have been happier with how special everyone made us feel. It was me and my husband's 9 year wedding anniversary and we were celebrating the fact that we are expecting! Everyone was kind enough to sign a anniversary card for us and treat us with a special drink to celebrate. Service was 5 stars! The food was great! I had also gotten the grab cake but forgot to take a picture of it. It definitely had a kick but the flavors were there. The Brussel sprouts were amazing and the flavor of the steak was out of this world! We will be coming again

    What was that spot previously called?

    Is there any parking?

    Parking along the side of the street or there is a free parking garage nearby and it's a short walk to the restaurant. I have never had any issues finding parking in front of the building along the street.

    Good morning, I would like to dine on the patio with my emotional support dog, would this be ok?

    They have a few tables outside on their patio and you can absolutely bring your dog. Many people do this. Enjoy!

Scotches that I know I've personally purchased in Scotland bc they don't sell them in retail here. Gins we've seen around the world, but actually not in this country. Same with tequilas and mezcals. An incredibly sophisticated prosecco and wine selection. I don't know who is doing their procuring but never let them go! Shopping there is literally like getting to go around the world collecting all the bottles you'd never find at your local liquor store. LOVE IT!! And yes, the food is pretty fantastic. We came before, during, and after COVID, and I have always been impressed. Even in the terrible COVID years of staff and food shortages, the bartenders and management worked their bottoms off to keep the place running smoothly and not disappoint their customers. The upper patio has great views, too. We'll be loyal forever.

Then after having many other burgers/sandwiches on our trip I opted for the chickpea pasta with veggies and leaving off the parm to make it vegan. I appreciate the volume of veggies in the dish, though the sauce was a touch too oily. The main issue was the cooks WAY over cooked the chickpea pasta so when they tossed it with the sauce and veggies 2/3 of the pasta had broken apart...

They did not have a vegan cheese or sauce option so it was left dry and plain... I made it edible with putting the pickles that were in the side inside the sandwich with ketchup. After seeing other people's reviews it looks as if you could ask for tofu scramble in lieu of scrambled eggs on be of the plate but that wasn't a menu option. Wish that option was more spelled out becuase that would have made it a more satisfying meal.

The fatty portion of my Prime Rib was excessive. I get that ribeye-style cuts derive flavor from fat, but this was to the point where it overwhelmed the dish and left me wishing I had ordered the lower-cost ribeye instead. On top of that, it came out medium instead of medium-rare, which didn't help. That said, others at the table ordered the NY Strip and Ribeye, and both looked excellent--cooked properly and more in line with what I'd expect from a steakhouse at this level. Highlights of the meal: Brazilian sliders were fantastic--definitely a must-order appetizer Oxtail stroganoff was rich and well executed Mac & cheese was a solid side Cocktails were creative and well made Overall, I've had better steaks at lower price points, but also worse ones at higher-end spots. Based on what I saw from other dishes, I'd absolutely give Ember & Oak another shot--just not with the Prime Rib next time.
