My grandson got the Dirty rice with shrimp and scallops. So good! Absolutely delicious! We finished with delectable desserts which we shared - Key lime pie, Chocolate Pave - so luxurious, and Lemon Blueberry Crumb Cake. What a special night we had.

Unfortunately a lot of the execution fell a bit flat, especially after both the menu and it's prices had set our expectations otherwise. The amuse bouche was definitely a palate awakener.. a mix of olive tapenade and vinegary mustard. It wasn't for us, but if the goal was to wake up our mouths, it worked. Then hubs had the scallop appetizer with bacon maple marmalade. He thought it was too sweet, I didn't mind it. Scallops were cooked well. I had the mussels from Brussels, a bit clumsy to eat as the mussels were in their shells and the thin Brussel leaves were scattered within/around, all on a bed of pureed potatoes. But a nice flavor and a good portion size. Then i moved on to the beet salad, which was my least favorite. A dish I enjoy at a lot of restaurants, all with different plating/approaches, this one was clunky, the beets were cut thicker than usual, plated with large proportion dwarfing the citrus and the cheese was presented in medium size encrusted balls. It lacked elegance or delicateness, the flavors didn't really meld as they should. Hubs and I then moved to the main course. I had the crispy gnocci app as my main, which was fine, nothing special and hubs had the catch #2 a tile fish that was just ok. We finished our drinks, opted for dessert elsewhere. They've been around a long time, so I'm sure we will try again in another couple years.

Jazzy Mainly Lobster…read more - nice atmosphere. Server was friendly. Had a child helping out behind the bar. Must be a family run and owned business. - Place was clean and parking was full. - Claim chowder soup had good flavor and full of claims. Totally worth it. - Connecticut Lobster roll lacked seasoning. Though the lobster was moist and fresh (had some shell in the roll) the punch of flavor was missing. - Calamari did not have the standard crunch one might expect, but the combination of citrus and savory blended well together. Unfortunately either a fish bone or calamari cartilage stuck into my wife inside cheek. Not a pleasant experience. Manager did remove the Calamari from our bill. Pleasant surprise. - Caesar salad was bland. Adding some fresh lemon helped it taste better. - Overall 5.2 out of 10. (Based on experience, food taste/flavor and price point

We made 7:45pm dinner reservations however we arrived early and found space at the bar so we decided to eat there versus a table. We ordered the scallops appetizer. They were cooked to perfection. I have Tuna and my husband had the short ribs. Oh my goodness. They were so good. Service was fast and efficient. Entrees were out within 15 minutes of ordering.

All were great, but loved the uniqueness and deep flavor of the coffee one. 5 stars - Bread: warm basket of ciabatta was a big hit.

My son got both to make his own chicken pasta and enjoyed it. Midlights: - Short rib pasta: sounded amazing and was good, but could've used a bit more flavor in the filling and thinner pasta exterior. 3.5 stars Lowlights: - Ambient noise: party music from the dive bar next door doesn't really fit the quiet vibe of the nice restaurant.

Second service was slow and our waitress was clueless. We got the simple buffet which includes brunch menu..no rodizio experience. We ordered off the brunch menu and for over 30min my so and his gf never got any food. He was not happy so he wanted to leave on top of sweating to death. We got check and told them we are not paying for him and his gf because they didnt get any food. They insisted on charging for 4 of us. Of course that wasnt happening. But not just that..the buffet items looks very old. Nothing great for $35 pp. It will be our last time there unfortunately. It was an unpleasant experience and especially when he wanted to take me out for mother's day. IMO I dont recommend especially for the price they charge.

We have gone to Pompano Grill a few times and we've had mixed experiences. But after our dinner at…read morePompano Grill last week went from bad to worse, we recommend against eating there. They are inattentive, rude, borderline fraudulent, and they attempt to be intimidating. As we sat down, our server launched into a long pitch about how the chef will not cook a steak more than medium, and how he - would - cook it blue if that was what we wanted. This was a lengthy sales pitch. I specifically asked if the chef was willing to serve a steak that was cool and red (my definition of blue), and our server confirmed this. So based on that, I ordered steak. Unfortunately, when the steak arrived, not only was it overcooked, but it was poorly cooked in that it had a ring of about half an inch of totally brown meat, then another quarter inch of light pink, and then starkly transitioned to bright red. This is what happens when you put an ice cold steak into a hot pan. The steak was definitely not blue, and more like medium rare or medium, given how much brown and pink it had. I asked our server if this is what the restaurant calls blue, more for future reference - since it was late in the evening and I didn't feel like wasting food, I wasn't going to send it back and ask the kitchen to remake it. The server went back and had a lengthy conversation with someone in the kitchen, and then the manager came out and at first said that I should have ordered it blue. When I said that I had asked for blue, he said, "Okay well that's how we do our blue steaks." I was a bit annoyed by the dishonest sales pitch that our server had made before we ordered, so I might have visibly rolled my eyes. But I wanted to just make the best of it and eat in peace. Unfortunately, the chef had other ideas. He came up to our table, stood in what he probably intended to be an intimidating pose, and asked - very aggressively - "Is there a problem with the steak?" I said it was cooked rather more than my preference, which was disappointing given the lengthy sales pitch about how this restaurant supposedly did not overcook steaks. The chef launched into a lecture about how "rare is a temperature" and "the health department has rules" and "you can't get a steak blue while still getting it to the minimum temperature unless you sous vide it or reverse sear, and that takes too much effort." So basically, the chef admitted that this restaurant, which boasts "a passion for craftsmanship and creativity" and supposedly serves Mishima Reserve American Wagyu, puts less effort into a steak than I do when I cook one at home. Clearly, the chef's intention was to intimidate and humiliate, as well as pull the power move of "I will serve you poorly cooked steak and how dare you not like it." It was about this time our waiter (who had been insisting this whole time that "We would consider that [brown steak with a thin red stripe in the center] rare"), came over to ask if we wanted to order more wine (which we had been considering). After this treatment, though, my husband told him politely that we would not be ordering any more. A woman who had been sitting with the chef, who we took to be the owner or manager, uttered an audible "Wow," as if it were somehow unusual after a breakdown of relations such as this not to order more. My husband said "'Wow,' what?" in a mild tone? She gave no response. Kitchen mishaps happen, and sometimes steak ends up overcooked. That's not the end of the world. It's better if a restaurant fixes it, but if they're not going to fix it, they should at least accept that a customer might be dissatisfied, rather than lecture and berate a customer for having the temerity to have an adverse opinion. In the end, nothing was done either to satisfy us, nor to compensate us for the poor meal (which was quite expensive when tallied up), nor to assure us this would not happen again. I would advise avoiding this restaurant.

They strike the perfect balance of refinement while still offering a warm and approachable dining experience. You immediately feel immersed in old world charm as you enter the European style courtyard. With string lights overhead and the gentle sounds of the fountain flowing, a dinner reservation becomes a small getaway. You can dine al fresco in the romantic courtyard or be seated in one of the three uniquely exquisite dining rooms. The atmosphere is elegant and modern and the service is always exceptional. The tomato bisque is a singular dish that has not been topped in my years of avid soup-eating. Truly, I. Love. Soup. And this is simply the best there is. The house salad with goat cheese, baked Brie, seasonal fish melange, and key lime pie are a few other favorites, among many! If you're looking to dine with a delicious cocktail (the Snow White Cosmo is my go-to) or extensive options of wines, Cafe Margaux is the place. This restaurant has been the backdrop to many a special life celebration filled with outstanding, memorable flavors and incredible service. Each visit leaves you ready to plan your next meal there. It is a local gem that we're so lucky to have in our little corner of the world. Truly the best in Brevard!

The corned beef was really lean , moist, tender, and very flavorful. What a great meal. They had traditional Irish music. Great atmosphere for the holiday. We had a great time.

Man I really wanted to like this place but I just couldn't!!…read more It is a really mundane place over all. The ambiance is that of every other bar, which in itself isn't bad but it is when you don't do anything to really stand out. I ordered the southern burger and their special of deviled eggs. The deviled eggs were really good but only 6 half eggs was $12. Way overpriced in my opinion. The burger looked really good but for $22 for the burger and the fries, it better be top notch. Burger came out over done, with the entire bottom bun completely soaked in juice. It basically fell apart by the end of the meal. I will say the fries were really good but for $45 with a tip FOR ONE PERSON this place is way over priced for what you get. I also thought my service was just okay as well. Wouldn't recommend this place and won't be back.
