My last Yelp review for 2024. My family was in the Satellite Beach area and yelped for the best…read moreseafood restaurant near the Air Force base and Goombay was listed as #1. We got there and definitely a beach bar/restaurant vibe. The place is quite small and you're eating outdoors on picnic tables. Atmosphere is really nice but the cleanliness is sub par. Let me start with the positives. 1) The waitress provided great service and was very patient with us on the ordering. 2) Food: the fish and chips was good. Tasty, Not greasy and crispy. The shrimp po boy is cooked nicely and taste is good. The highlight are the waffle fries and sweet potatoes tots. 3) the food cooked and served in a timely manner. Now the negatives. 1) the steak skewers. Very tough and bland. 2) the seafood bisque. It wasn't a bisque and very watery. I think it was microwaved and wasn't cooked fresh. 3) sweet ice tea. I can tell it was brewed but wasn't made that day and wasn't sweet. 4) You get 1 small tartar sauce. If you want additional sauces, it's $1 extra (each). Why? You get 3 large pieces of fish in an order of fish and chips but a small amount of tartar sauce which covers one piece. 5) $$$ I like supporting local mom and pop type of restaurant but the prices are a bit on the expensive side. My family goes to the AFB commissary on a daily basis. We may comeback for the fish and chips but will bring our own tartar sauce.

The back of the house was likely overworked. It took a LONG time for us and those at other tables to get our food, yet when our meals finally arrived, they were hot and delicious. Based on my experience, you should request extra spice in the gumbo (it was likely made for the masses and was merely good). The good here far outweighs the bad - I'd definitely come back!

We hosted a graduation party (congrats Ainsley!) and I wanted to share the truly amazing experience…read morethat Drifters Surf Restro put together for us. We had some specific needs, the guest of honor is a vegetarian, very environmentally conscious and supports sustainability. Chef Danny and his wife Katie Clark created such a fantastic event that not only fulfilled the needs of every guest, but knocked it into the stratosphere. Firstly the food. The menu was so thoughtfully put together. Fresh, innovative dishes for every palate that were just so delicious and looked absolutely beautiful. Every guest was so excited about the food, it was a repeated topic of conversation throughout the event. My personal favorite was the blueberry cobbler crumble with chantilly of which I ate 5, but we'll move quickly past that...sorry not sorry. Honestly, I wish I'd had leftovers for breakfast this morning. The beautiful sustainable bamboo plates and "silverware" were gorgeous and a perfect compliment too and much appreciated by Ainsley. Next, the bar curated and tended by the hostess-with-the-mostest Katie, co-owner of Drifters with husband Chef Danny. Katie put together an array of delicious drink options around certain specifics we'd requested and ensured everyone had their needs anticipated and met instantly. Beautiful drinks in compostable drinkware and stunning edible decorations. The mocktails for the non-drinkers were perfection. Bravo! The presentation, decoration and attention to the smallest of details made the event just extra special - fresh flowers in Ainsley's school colors at the bar, gorgeous ice baths for the drinks and beautifully displayed fresh flowers surrounding the food itself, which were like works of art. Visually stunning as well as beautiful to eat and drink. Like I said earlier, they knocked it into another galaxy in every aspect. Lastly, but certainly not least, the service. From start to finish, every single member of the Drifters team made this such an easy and fun experience. The offers of help for anything we might need throughout the process was unexpected and absolutely above and beyond what was required, but we were so very grateful and appreciative of all they did. The team puts their heart, soul and love into their work and it shows in abundance. They did it all with genuine smiles on their faces; each of them happy, calm and confident, no stress, no fuss. It was a pleasure to work with them. We've been regular customers of Drifters the restaurant and now we can say that we love their event catering just as much as we love their restaurant. I'm already thinking about what next event we have coming up...I need that blueberry dessert again. To the Drifters family, thank you from our family to yours for helping us make such great memories that we'll have for years to come. We love you guys. We didn't get that many pictures because we were too busy eating and enjoying ourselves with family and friends, as is the mark of a great party, but hopefully you get the general idea

They have a huge selection of every protein known to man. From fish, seafood, every type of meat, and some specialty items, this is the place. Since they are fish mongers, prepare for that smell when you walk in. That just means everything is fresh. Also, bring cash, besides a check, cash is all they take. I think they have an ATM, but bring cash just in case. This is a completely different experience but worth the quality and price. And they have a giant chalk board with their offerings and prices. They are definitely one of those places where you come in for one thing and leave with a bag full of fresh goodies. I don't think I have ever spent less than $100. Worth it! Good job team.

It was almost empty at 5 on a Friday, and I'm not sure why because the food was fantastic. I really liked the vegetarian risotto and lobster pasta, and the bread they brought out was great too.

I requested medium but it was well done. Once I got my server he fixed it and apologized. That did not matter because the meal and service were amazing. Everyone loved their meals and were talking about it for days. Don't be put off when you pull up in the strip mallish type building. It was clean and not low budget looking.

We had a good meal at Cadillac Cove and our waitress Jaime was AWESOME. She was friendly,…read moreattentive, and really helped make the experience enjoyable. I ordered the Pink Eldorado Margarita and it was really tasty. For food, I had the mac and cheese with fried chicken, and my husband ordered the surf and turf burger. Both dishes were good, but we both agreed the mac and cheese was the standout. The fried chicken on top really made the dish. The breading was light and crispy, and the chicken itself was flavorful and cooked perfectly. The only things that could have made the experience better were that our table was a little sticky and there was a slightly funky smell inside the restaurant. Aside from that, the service and food were great, and we appreciated Jaime taking such good care of us.
