    Eyoooooooo it's ya boy. Another great experience at the Element. Easily the best hotel in Melbourne. Absolute Vibes. Gladys took great care of us and we felt like family. Looking forward to another great round of spicy margaritas tomorrow. 10/10 staff and hotel

    View while dining. They also have live music most afternoons!

    We stayed at the element hotel and enjoyed multiple meals at ebb & flow. The girls working are so on top of things and provide great service! I loved the dragon bowl and mahi tacos.

    Ebb & Flow Element Melbourne Oceanfront Hotel 2655 N. Hwy. AIA Melbourne, FL 32903 3.5 Stars Well, butter my buns and call me a biscuit! I thought for sure I was done with Brevard, but we have a few more to get to before we skedaddle out of these here parts. This one is for the restaurant located in the new hotel built on the parking lot of the Holiday Inn Oceanfront, specifically the Element Melbourne Oceanfront by Marriott. I do not put much stock in hotel food, based on my own experience. They have you trapped and know it. This is the same reason a bottle of water will cost you $ 5 in an amusement park and $ 2 at a 7-11. Now that the parking lot is gone, everyone must use valet parking; however, if you are dining and not a hotel guest, there is no charge. Before delving into the grub, I have to mention the server, Jonah was outstanding in every way a server should. I am batting a thousand since my return, and life is good. I asked Jonah for one Dragon bowl and one Birria Beef Dip Sandwich. Whatever you do, do NOT look at their website for a valid representation of their food. You will be catfished. When Jonah returned with my order, I snapped the prerequisite photos and sat aghast. The fish in the Dragon Bowl looked to be at least seven years old. However, it did not have the smell one would expect to find wafting off of a fish that had been sitting around for seven years. I found that it is the sauce that gives it that look. It consists of ahi tuna, sushi-grade salmon, spicy krab salad, sushi rice, shaved black radish, edamame, avocado and wakame. This was quite tasty on the palate. The rice was fluffy, fun and as good as you will find in any sushi joint. The edamame was also excellent. I found the Birria Beef Dip Sandwich to have a similar visual appeal to the fish bowl. It was also surprisingly edible and lip-smackingly scrumptious, just like the aforementioned Dragon dish. This thing looked like an escapee from the microwave oven and was bursting with flavor, with zero bad aftertaste (which, upon inspection, one kind of expects). The garlic and herb vegetable chips that accompanied the sammich were fresh, crispy and delightful. The Big Boy says, "The view is spectacular, Jonah is awesome and the food is slightly above average. Enjoy!"

    The ambiance is really nice. Beach view & fire pit. Plenty of seating & open space. Tables are a bit tightly placed. Food & cocktails are pricey. Beer would be my go to & maybe hummus. I haven't tried the food not sure I will. I'll go back to check out their happy hour.

    I love beachfront outdoor bars and couldn't wait to try this place located on the roof of the new Element hotel. The bar area is smaller than I anticipated with seating for eight maximum and is located right next to the pool. The bartender was friendly and she had one runner bringing drinks to those seated around the pool. It took a minute to get our drinks, but we were greeted immediately and she told us she'd be right with us. They have a full liquor bar and some signature cocktails. There was a nice breeze off the ocean and the couple seated next to us was delightful. The only disappointing thing about this bar is the menu. It's very small and it tries too hard to be fancy for a hotel next to a pool bar. With cheese and charcuterie boards and fancy sandwiches nothing children will eat. With a better menu this would be five stars. There was a gentleman playing the saxophone, and he was fantastic.

    A good place to view SpaceX launches.

    We visted Ebb & Flow on a Saturday evening at about 5:15pm and found a good seat with a view of the beach. The musicians were good. We ordered drinks and had a good time. Our waitress was Samantha and she was very attentive and kind. We will come back. And we saw a great SpaceX launch!

    Mixed feelings on Ebb & Flow. The positives are that the food was delicious and beautiful presentation. The dragon bowl and my friends tacos were both great. The negatives are more abundant. I was expecting to be able to see the ocean from my dinner table and that is not the case. The pool is closest to the ocean and the restaurant is behind it. At the bar your back faces the ocean, still with a blocked view. Whoever designed this missed the opportunity to do them side-by-side so that both had an ocean view. There was one bartender and only one server/runner who was very overwhelmed. The food and drink are also expensive, $16 for a cocktail may be one of the highest in the area. I can see this being a good choice if you're staying in the hotel, but otherwise I would not choose this restaurant as a local for dinner again.

    Absolutely splendid! We spent our third weekend in a row dining at Le French. It's 5 star,…read moreconsistently superb dishes speak for themselves. The chef's training and talent not only his flavor pairings but his expert execution and detail. We started with the Escargot - out of shell presentation in a delicious butter and parsley sauce that is to die for. Thankfully they provide enough bread to soak up every drop. This week we opted to sample several of the main courses off the specials. Two diners had the duck and one opted for the snapper. The duck was phenomenal, truly the best l've had, with a perfectly crispy skin and beyond tender meat. It was served with a delicious slightly tangy glaze with a side of mashed sweet potatoes and veggies. The snapper was prepared perfectly to a tender flake with your fork in a rich and savory bur Blanc sauce. Others had the French onion soup - delicious broth and cheese finish with the crispy yummy goey overflow of melt and delicious bread pieces a top. Other go to dishes - their house salad is one of the best you will ever have, the soups of the day have all been delicious and creative, for beverages we love the cappuccino and the peach belinis and for dessert the crème brûlée. This is a must in Brevard County and beyond. Also the front of house is the sweetest woman ever who is simply a delight (although last weekend was her last awhile).

    Richard took my research of local @restaurants to go to Le French tonight for dinner. It turns out…read morethe restaurant was walking distance from his condo. He didn't know it was there. It is a small cafe run by a man and his wife. The husband is the chef and the wife handles the front. Richard was not familiar with French food by now he is. We started with sharing tender ramekin of escargots that were cooked perfectly with butter, garlic and fresh parsley. He never had it before but he did try one then grab another then I taught him to take the crusty French bread and soak up the garlic butter. We both ordered the beef bourguignon which is my favorite French dish. We both enjoyed it but it was not as rich and flavorful as I have had in the past. For dessert I had the chocolate mousse which was yummy and could not finish it all. Richard had the perfectly cooked and well presented lava cake which I will get next time when I come. The icing on the cake was that a family was eating dinner with grandparents, sons, Daughers and grandchildren. As the grandmother went to the restroom she stopped by to say what a joy it was to watch the two of us talk and enjoy each other. The grands who were 7 and 5 also chatted with us and asked me lots of questions about the places that I have visited. The son and DIL were from the country of Jordan. They were all delightful. He gave me some advise about Poland. When we left the restaurant, there was a full moon over the ocean which added a special accent to the day. At 10:20 tonight there is a SPACE X rocket ship blasting off from Cape Canaveral. We will watch it from the beach!!!!

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.

    I feel like this place has rested on its laurels - for the worse. We've been coming since 2020 or…read more2021. Coming from Dallas, a city with a steakhouse on practically every corner, I can say we definitely know our steaks and steak house experiences. We also travel all over the world looking for the best steak experiences locally. When we first came here, we thought we'd found Melbourne's best. The closest to fine dining steak back home. But over the years, things have just slidden down hill. The once impressive share board has A) not changed in its inclusions during this 5+ year span; and B) gone down in quality considerably. If you look at the pictures of our boards over the years you'll see the Caesar used to be long, elegant romaine leaves with the most delicious lemony-crunchy topping with superior house made dressing. Now it has boring store-looking croutons, no lemon-crunch topping, and the dressing tastes as boring as the salad looks. The potato used to be a large, hassleback prepared encased in a blanket of cheese with another delicious cheese dressing poured on top of that. Now, they just dump a bunch of wet something in the middle of an open lackluster potato. Not only are the items themselves getting more boring, but the board itself being the same for 6 years is boring. Why not change it up? If you can't make an actually good Caesar anymore, why not swap it for a wedge? If you can't be bothered to make a presentable potato - one of the cheapest things for a restaurant to do - why not do some au gratin? Or, why not have 2-3 different boards for people to choose from? Why did they just give up on this concept and themselves? Yes - you can order individual separate sides, but you can do that anywhere. What made this restaurant stand out, and shine like steakhouses in bigger cities, is now dragging them down. We've also really struggled with the hosts over the years. Rude. Inattentive. Not seating in a timely manner despite reservations and an empty restaurant. Being forced into uncomfortably tiny 2-seaters where you feel like you're on a date with the tables next to you. This is the most unromantic thing to do to diners. I would usually never complain about prices at a steakhouse. Again, steakhousing is a hobby of ours and we are fully invested. But... the prices USED to be completely justified given the quality food and experiences. Now... I'd say there are plenty of other restaurants in town with better quality, better service, better vibes - for a better price. I miss the patio vibes. I miss wine by the fire pits. I miss friendly servers and hosts and well-executed offerings. That's such a bummer. If their business couldn't sustain the patio area, maybe they should have thought about why people weren't coming back and made efforts to correct that. Instead of taking away the things they still had going for themselves and flopping on the things they continued offering. What used to be a beautiful location with great service and a thoughtful menu is now a played out shell of its former self. I've shared feedback with the restaurant multiple times over the years, and nothing changes. Like... literally nothing changes unless it's actually getting worse. It's gone downhill, guys. No matter how many videos you post on social of your chefs and how proud you are of your food... I will not be fooled, again.
