    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 part of the view you will have

    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,

    View, looking West.

    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.

    Great food, great service and even better views of our great airport! I especially enjoyed the pork sliders and bang bang shrimp.

    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… Read more

    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.

We…read morewere created by a very nice gentleman who told me he would be happily to assist us and whatever we ordered not only do they have a 360 wraparound bar. They also have seating; It's a seat yourself policy. For a drink I decided to get there Mr. pink Porter, which is a American Porter with notes of chocolate caramel and coffee. It is 6.2% ABV. My mom and I are currently sitting at the bar and Boy. Is it busy right now. However, this is the only brewery/bar. I've been to where they keep their additives that they add to the cocktails with the lid on them so no one is breathing or sneezing on them which I absolutely love. The gentleman assisting us was so nice; his name is Nick. He's amazing; very kind and efficient. The ambience of the brewery is like biker gang meet industrial warehouse. Definitely recommend. The flavor of my porter is very light and crisp. It's also very easy to drink. Very, robust flavor you can definitely taste the coffee and the caramel. 10/10

Our server was quick and friendly, answered questions and was excellent overall. The food... Started with the pretzels and spicy gator. The pretzel was soft and delicious, the gator was spicy and delicious, but the fried coating was very thick and gator, very small. I had the pulled pork plate with mashed potatoes and cornbread of which was quite delicious. I enjoyed every bite. I must go back because there were other things on the menu that I have to try.

    The introduction vibe on your first time is amazing. They always do a nice show for people that…read moreI've never been before, and even if you have been many times, you still get to participate, which is fun. 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. In the true vibe of speakeasy, this is a hidden gem.

The cocktails were exceptional. I asked for classic cocktails that weren't in the menu. They delivered. Love the place. Why Four stars? Service was three bears. The waiter with the blonde mop of hair is very nice but inexperienced. Too on top of customers when they arrive. He needs to give a menu and give a few minutes for guests to peruse it. 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.
