    We had lunch here and we really enjoyed it. I had the carne asada bowl and my fiancé ordered the Dragon Bowl both dishes were delicious and beautifully presented. The seasoning was on point and everything tasted super fresh. We also tried the Paloma and a glass of white wine, which paired well with the breezy, oceanfront vibe. The prices are steep (think $20+ for a salad with chicken), but considering it's located right by the beach in a hotel, it's not exactly surprising. It's more of a treat-yourself kind of place. If you're staying at the hotel and don't want to leave the property, this is a solid option, especially for a special occasion or a relaxed afternoon with a view. The service was friendly, the atmosphere was laid-back. Definitely worth it if you're in the mood for something fresh, flavorful, and convenient.

    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.

    Great food, drinks, and atmosphere! Lyndsey was wonderful -- so sweet and polite. 10/10

    First time eating at Ebb and Flow, it was good! We just live down the road so this will be a great addition to our sunny day spots for food and a view of the water. Lyndsey was great! She doesn't let a glass go empty and gives great food recommendations!

I really just went for the insutution of bacon wrapped dates supervised by my wife and is girlfriend (two different people). The Medjool dates with millionaire bacon and goat cheese and I am not exaggerating when I say this dish could solve international conflicts. Sweet pineapple, salty bacon, creamy goat cheese, and a drizzle of what tasted like the chef whispering sweet nothings the way I'm romantic. I was going to order a second dose for "research purposes." Truffle Honey Chicken Tenders (Not Your Childhood Lunchbox) is the most misleading name ever because "tenders" sounds like something you eat in a drive thru parking lot (I'd pick Bojangles of course). These were crispy, sticky, sweet, slightly spicy, and basically the PhD version of chicken fingers a bit dry but the sauce make it good. Brussels sprouts usually remind people of childhood trauma. These charred brussels sprouts with honey, soy, ginger, and peanuts tasted like the chef personally apologized to every person who had ever been forced to eat boiled vegetables in 1987. Smoky, sticky, crunchy, slightly sweet. I would willingly eat vegetables here again, which is a sentence I never thought I would say out loud! We build a strategy to devide an conquer in a unique waiter (I hate the name server, it sounds like tennis) recommendation that was impressive! My brother ordered the heritage pork chop, which looked like it had been bench pressing in the kitchen before arriving at the table. Perfect crust, juicy inside, sitting on sweet potato hash with a slaw piled on top like a fashionable hat and I went with the snapper catch of th day for a surf and turf combo! I considered banging on the door at 3 am for another dose of pork chop like I was in college and wanted the party to go on My brother was impressed with the Blackbird Arise that showed up like it owned the table. He said it was smooth, bold, and dangerous because it makes you start considering dessert when you absolutely do not need dessert. I don't drink so I take his word for it. The women weren't behaving so thy split a smash burger and truffle fries, which means our ordering strategy was clearly "yes." The burger had that glossy brioche bun that looks like it was polished before serving, and the fries were exactly the kind that disappear before you realize you have eaten most of them. A smash burger is supposed to drip greese down your arm and this didn't. This strategy ensured my spot on the couch for bedtime. If you go, order two doses of the dates so you don't have to bring a date.

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.

Every day of the week they have a different separate drink menu for the specialties of that day. I love the Wednesday bourbon. The vibe inside is so amazing and Homie and it is pretty intimate though. So keep in mind if you have large parties like I went once with around six people it is hard for everyone to sit together. So I would definitely recommend coming on more weekday evenings when it's not as busy otherwise you will be having to wait in a line outside unfortunately. The capacity seems to be roughly around 30 people after talking with the bartenders. The bartenders are extremely knowledgeable. The off menu drinks that they could come up with ended up being some of my absolute favorites. I had the bartender at one point make me three surprise me drinks for whatever they felt like they could make. And every single one was so amazing I ended up passing it around to the rest of the group for everyone to try. Keep in mind, the drinks are probably a little bit more on the expensive side, but you are paying for more of the experience. It is also important to note that there is a five dollar cover fee that will last for a full week to enter the place, or you can buy an annual membership for $40. If you buy the annual membership, they do type out a membership library card for you and laminate so it feels very official and it's very cool to be able to have in your wallet.

The head bartender is brilliant. Talent without hospitality, though, is a craft cocktail fail. Kindness counts. The vibe was colder than the cocktails. I hope it improves on future visits. The blonde bartender in the grey dress was just right. Professional, attentive, and kind. This is easily a six star speak. When you are serving? You are "on." Be as excellent and calm of a person as you are outstanding at your craft.
