    Went out for dinner last night. Poor choice in restaurant! We didn't have to wait for a table one was available. Started out with a waitress was cleaning a table next to us and sprayed some kind of cleaning solution that went into my eyes/face. They didn't seem very concerned! My eyes were burning. Thank goodness for tears! Sent a chicken sandwich back because the chicken was very dry. I ended up with a burger that was delicious. Beautiful sunset! We enjoyed watching a few planes taking off and landing.

    Really great overall experience. The location is great, food was really good and the drinks were on point. Service was really good, almost too attentive, but that's not really a bad thing. Ambiance is nice and they had live music closer to when we were leaving.

    This is a great place to sit outside and watch the plane come and go from the Melbourne airport. The beer is cold and the food was good,

    Pretty cool venue with space to host large groups. Nice bar area, live music & great view. Music is extremely loud, you can barely have conversations. Too crowded, being the newest "place to be". Happy hour drink specials; my Margarita was still $15. Wasn't bad, but not worth $15. Cranberry/Orange salad was $18. Average size bowl most places serve. It came out with chopped chicken all over the top. Sent it back, being vegetarian. Menu did not mention chicken. It came back out without chicken. It was a good, fresh salad. Our server was on our table alone, so service was slow. My bill had the words "take off" with an additional charge of $1. I asked about this & was told it would come off. I'm thinking it was for taking the chicken off my salad... IDK??? It was too cloudy to see the sunset, but still enjoyed the company. FYI: It is outdoors, so no AC. It was very humid, & when the sun does go down, it's directly on you! May try this place again, may not.

    Appetizer was not served until meal; it was lobster Mac & Cheese which was disappointingly dry.

    Food and service were great. Nice way to watch some storms approaching. Got a little load when some softball tournament families piled in.

    Long wait times for food. Food was mediocre. The view was okay but didn't see any planes land or take off.

    How often do jets arrive and take off? Is there a “best time” to go to this restaurant for enjoying the view?

    There are a few airline flights taking off and landing 5 and 7:30 pm, but not many because it's a smaller airport. In between though there's usually lots of student pilots taking off and landing, as well as business jets, so there's plenty of…

    We arrived before sunset which allowed us to see fabulous sights- the airport traffic in daylight, and the sunset which is God's gift after a long day.

    Went for lunch and it did get busy on this Friday…read more We put our order in and I was excited to try the new lunch bowls. Polynesian bowl was my choice and it was pretty good. The ahi tuna had a slight fish taste and the heat from the aioli was just about perfect. I asked for how the chef envisioned it and only one change. It has red onions and scallions. A bit over powering of all the other flavors. Also adding avocado would be a plus. The short rib tacos were very good and an ok portion. Seems like they were not as full of goodness as one would expect. The staff was kind of distracted at times and I had to request drink refills. While I like this place it is out of place in Indialantic unless the staff ups their game to match the prices. A/C was still struggling to keep up and I would recommend sitting in a spot where it actually cools the dining area.

    Going to be hard to keep coming here in the summer. We visited on an afternoon and once again were…read moresweltering inside. What do they have against AC? The problem is the open patio door concept. It lets all the hot air in and the cool air out. The condensation is dripping off the vents and pooling on the floor. We tried outside and unfortunately the only tables they would give us as a couple were four seaters out under tiny umbrellas that do nothing to block the heat. They wouldn't let us sit under the actual patio at a larger table "just in case" a group came in. Well, no groups came but we sure sweated it out under our little umbrella. Fish and rock shrimp roll were great, regular fries great, but the upcharged truffle fries were burnt. They made a second batch to take with us... but didn't poke holes in the container so they were a soggy mess that went in the trash at home. I really did appreciate the effort and the server was so nice. But this is the second attempt to eat here. First inside where we all sweated and couldn't hear each other over broken blaring speakers and overcrowded dining area (not to mention inedible chewy snapper special), and now sweating outside with burnt truffle fries we paid extra for. It's just not fun and really starts being annoying to spend money for "upscale" dining in such poor physical conditions. I'm really hoping they get it together, but doubtful after two bad experiences in a row. Tips to owners: Expanding the patio cover. Get a door that closes. Fix the speakers inside. Wipe up the ac puddle (that won't exist if you close the patio door). And give your diners some elbow room.

As soon as we were seated, we were greeted by Brandon, who was incredibly friendly and had a great sense of humor. He made us feel welcome right away and provided outstanding service throughout our meal. To start, I tried the new Lychee cocktail, and it was delicious! We also ordered the Meg Threesome appetizer, which was flavorful and perfect for sharing with the table. The Kilkenny sandwich was absolutely amazing. If you've been missing a classic New York corned beef sandwich, this is definitely the place to satisfy that craving. I also loved the Irish Cuban sandwich--it was juicy, packed with flavor, and a fun twist on a classic. The mac and cheese was rich, creamy, and incredibly cheesy. The chicken pot pie was generously sized and full of flavor. And of course, you can't beat the 18¢ cup of bean soup--such a fun tradition and a great addition to the meal. Even though the restaurant was busy, the service never skipped a beat. There was live music, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the entire experience was fantastic. We'll definitely be back!

    I found this spot as a last minute resort to another place that was extremely noisy…read more This spot is tucked away right off A1A, and has a cute hotel/vacation spot attached to it. This cute bar/grille has an ocean view no matter where you are sitting. There's even some tables on the beach itself if you wanna take off your shoes and sit a spell. Our waitress was helpful and lively. And the food was surprisingly amazing! We only had nachos and drinks because we didn't want to ruin dinner later. But I watched as people Ordered these sky high smash burgers. They looked so damn good! I also zoomed in and took a photo of another persons wings.. they should be called "wangz" because they're so huge! Next time.. next time.. lol If you're ever passing thru, stop By and I promise you won't be disappointed.

    Decent beach bar, but a little too kid-friendly for my taste…read more I came here hoping for dinner on the water, good music, the sound of the ocean, and maybe some friendly conversation with the locals. Instead, one of the main seating areas was partially taken over by strollers, toys, and other kid gear. I understand that restaurants can't control every family that visits, but the overall atmosphere felt more like a playground than a relaxing waterfront dining spot. To the staff's credit, my server was kind enough to move some of the strollers and toys so I could get a seat. Unfortunately, it had just rained and the chairs were still soaked. While I appreciated her making room for me, it would have been nice if someone had also taken a moment to wipe down the seat before it was offered to me. Instead, I had the unpleasant experience of sitting in a sopping wet chair and spent my evening here with a soggy backside, which definitely put a damper on the experience... Pun intended. I ordered a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, which was good, although I was a little surprised to receive it in a plastic cup. Maybe that's standard here, but it wasn't what I expected. For dinner, I tried the mahi tacos after seeing them mentioned in several reviews. The fish itself was good, but the tacos were absolutely covered in sauce, to the point that it drowned out the taste of everything else. Also, thatsynot what they looked like on the reviews I saw. If I knew they would have so much sauce (or any sauce actually) I would ordered it on the side. I ended up removing most of the sauce-drenched toppings just to taste the fish. I also requested a side salad and was told the only option available for a side salad was a Caesar... despite several salads being listed on the menu. I guess it was too hard to toss some salad greens into a bowl with a side if vinaigrette The parking situation is also very confusing. All the spaces indicate that parking is for guests and there is signage along the fence threatening to tow anyone who parks along the fence. I had to call the restaurant to confirm where guests could park (along the fence, as long as it is not overnight or just to go to the beach) and fortunately my car was still there when I returned from dinner. Overall, the food was decent and the waterfront location is nice. If you're looking for a casual, family-friendly beach bar, this may be a fit. However, if you're hoping for a quieter place to unwind after work or enjoy a peaceful dinner by the water, you definitely want to look elsewhere.
