And they are good but they are the most popular and fill up fast so the wait the tends to be un-reasonable and borderline on bearable. Dinner is not meant to be eaten that early just to avoid the crowds. At RT you CAN get a reservation and the staff is friendly, kind & attentive. I am the type to never order anything on the "Chef's special menu" but the ambience was so warm and inviting, I lost my head a little-bit. I'm glad we did we order the Crustini and it was next level. I thought I was eating on south beach for a moment. Flavors were intense, but not overpowering & it all complemented one another. If you are there make sure you try this appetizer. The bread for the Crustini was fresh not overly hard or stale. The main course I had was perfect. I had the steak au poivre. The sear on the meat was spot on and the sauce was not overly peppery. It let the steak do its job with the seared crust. Chefs veggies were good and the red bliss mash was velvet, smooth. The cocktails here also are amazing! I'm not just saying that my wife order something called the beatnik. You can taste the fresh beet juice. You can tell there was somebody back there pressing them freash. You know how beets usually stains your teeth? This did not! Overall fabulous experience. We even took our kids here and they had excellent choices for kids menu. Very happy over all. We did not try dessert. However we notice on the menu they support local dessert shops in the area with their offerings. Next time we go back we will definitely try them. I hope you found this helpful buen provecho everyone

When the staff remembers your anniversary--and even your favorite dishes--it creates a level of warmth and care that's hard to find. The view from the sidewalk overlooking the river is stunning, especially at night. The outdoor ambiance is beautiful, with soft lighting and thoughtfully arranged seating that feels intimate and private. And the food--wow, the food! Even something as simple as a salad is elevated into something memorable. We absolutely love this place. It's easily our number one spot in the NSB community we cherish so much. We've never once left disappointed, and we look forward to every return. .

We couldn't make a reservation so we took a chance and stopped by to see if anything was available. Luckily we got a table in Amanda's area. She is a great waitress. She was attentive to our needs and suggested wonderful dishes. She had a great personality and we had a great time with her. The food was wonderful! We got a wedge salad that was yummy! The bacon croutons were delicious! I ordered the short rib ravioli and it was sooo good. The ravioli was made fresh and it was great. My husband got the chicken Marsala and it was delicious! We traveled all week in Florida and this was our best meal by far! The only bad thing is that it was our last day here or we'd be there again tonight!

That said, the food matches up with outstanding food experience in taste, presentation and overall culinary offerings!! I missed photos of our starters; Soup of the Day - Crab and Corn Chowder and Potato Latke. The chowder had great flavor and plenty of vegetables and crab with each bite. The base was thinner than a traditional chowder but still very delicious. Latkes were good but I saw the foie gras go to another table and wish we had tried that instead. All of the entrees were delicious. Filet was cooked perfectly and had great flavor. The Tile fish was beautifully prepared. Very light and flavorful with the fennel salad and bean cassoulet. The winner was the House-made gnocchi. Deep in flavors and the gnocchi melted in your mouth. Because they were made with flour (vs potato), they were like pillows of goodness on a plate. We were tapped out...and then we looked at the dessert menu. Banana pudding caught our attention and it did not disappoint. Beautiful layering of banana jam (think banana foster), pudding, wafers and whip cream. Great end to the meal! We will be back...maybe even twice on trip!

This spot has always held great memories for all of us, whether together or separately, and we were hoping it would still feel the same. It absolutely did. Since it was a Monday night, it was nicely relaxed--not too crowded--and the atmosphere couldn't have been better. We grabbed a table right by the bar in the open-air section, and everything about it was just perfect. The weather cooperated (low humidity for the win!), and the setting felt like a little tropical escape. Between the pergola, Bimini-style covers, and all the lush greenery, it honestly felt like dining in a beautiful garden. Our server was fantastic--patient, attentive, and genuinely kind--even as we got caught up in nonstop conversation and took our time ordering. Never once felt rushed, which made the night even more enjoyable. When we finally ordered, the food did not disappoint. Everything came out fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. There are so many great options on the menu that everyone at the table left happy (and already talking about what to try next time). It's rare to find a place that delivers consistently on atmosphere, service, and food--but this one still does. So glad we chose it for such a meaningful night. We'll definitely be back.

The aesthetic is unique, thoughtful, and full of character. The tables are spaced out perfectly so you don't feel crowded, and the vibe strikes a rare balance--romantic enough for a date night, yet casual and comfortable enough for meeting a friend for dinner. Our waiter, Tristan, deserves major recognition. He was upbeat, professional, and genuinely seemed to love his job. After we told him we were vegan, he made sure every detail of our order was handled correctly, and he checked in with us in a way that felt sincere--not forced. We also met Mason, one of the managers, and his leadership was obvious. He was hands-on the entire night, helping his team wherever needed. He personally brought out our salad, and when it came with cheese by accident, he whisked it away immediately and brought back a fresh one. I asked for lemons, and instead of treating it like an inconvenience, he brought out four perfectly cut wedges without seeds, little touches like that say everything about a restaurant's standards. The food was fantastic. The house-made veggie burgers were honestly some of the best we've had. We asked for them extra crispy, and the fact that the kitchen took the time to bake them to keep them intact--while still meeting our request--shows real care from the chef. The final result was delicious, flavorful, and perfectly executed. We're on vacation, but after this experience, we will definitely be back before we leave. Everything from the ambience to the service to the food and overall value was outstanding. I love when a restaurant gets it right, and The Corkscrew Bar & Grill absolutely does. If you're in New Smyrna Beach, this place is a must-visit. I wish every dining experience felt this good. Highly, highly recommended.

Visited on an early Thursday evening and this place was busy with an hour wait. I'm not sure if…read morethis is the typical wait because there was an event happening on the street. We sat at the outdoor bar ordered some happy hour drinks which they offer $5 margaritas and $6 house wines all day, every day. Nick was extremely tentative and even provided us with waters without us having to request it. The $6 wine pours come in a large sized glass and the size pour was decent! Once seated at our table we were served by Bri and she made some good recommendations. For apps we had the Cuban candy as an app and it was a huge hit at our table. On Thursdays they do a "prime rib special" which isn't really a special as far as pricing instead it is more so a special that is offered only on Thursdays for $44. 2 people from my party ordered it and they were satisfied. I ordered the chimichurri chicken sandwich which is a new menu item. The portion size of the chicken was good, however, the chimichurri / sauce seemed to lack. Also I wasn't a huge fan of their house sweet potato chips, they weren't bad, they were just okay, however, I would opt to have French fries next time. As far as ambiance, the inside is quite small which I got worried about sound and talking amongst my party but that wasn't an issue. They don't seem to take reservations unless your party is of 6 or more.

Are you kidding me?! This turned out to be one of the biggest surprise eateries of the year for me…read more This little spot, beachside New Smyrna Beach, has quietly been winning hearts and if a place lasts more than a year, that's usually a very good sign. One morning, out with friends enjoying ocean walks and ocean views we were all hit by those mid-morning hunger pangs, someone asked if we'd ever tried it. I'll admit, I was skeptical. I didn't know a thing about the place. But I trusted the company I was with, and I'm so glad I did. Breakfast here is pure comfort food--the kind that reminds you of lazy mornings by the shore, shared laughs, and time spent with people you actually enjoy. The food is genuinely delicious, the waffles are a must, and the coffee? Top notch--always a win. The menu has plenty of choices without feeling overwhelming, perfect for a casual morning out near the beach. It's not fancy, it's not trying to be, and it's not forgettable. It's just right. A true surprise and absolutely worth coming back to. If you're near the beach in New Smyrna Beach and craving a breakfast that hits all the right notes, check this place out. You won't be disappointed.
