First time in Melbourne and decided to eat here based on reviews and recommendations from friends…read more Everything was excellent! Sat at the bar prior to dinner and had two fabulous cocktails. Watching the bartenders assemble the craft cocktails was a show itself. On to dinner. Our waiter recommended the bacon wrapped dates as a customer favorite. They were a combo of sweet, salty, and smokey. Perfect start to dinner. We ordered the coffee crusted filet with cocoa demi-glace, smashed truffle potatoes and grilled broccolini for one dish, and the fresh catch of the day with coconut rice and pineapple salsa. Our server (forgot his name) was awesome as well. The whole experience made my birthday that much better!

Classics salty sweet combination made for a great way to open the palate. For the entree, I had the Sriracha Marinated Flat Iron with avocado mashed potatoes. The steak was seasoned perfectly and the avocado mash was creamy and very tasty. I have to steal this idea and make this at home. Our server was very friendly and served our party perfectly. The environment in the restaurant is modern with nice pops of the signature Crush color. Overall an awesome experience for anytime lookin for great food in Melbourne.

They serve up a delicious assortment of wine and a fabulous specialty "Rebellion" burger (I believe only on Wednesday at this location) that you don't want to miss out on! Just look at how dense it is! The person who waited on us was the owner who is knowledgeable about the menu and clearly has a passion for wine! How he described all of the options made everything sound so intriguing! You really can't go wrong! I will definitely be coming back again and again for the rebellion burger and to try all the different wines! Their location in Cocoa Beach serves more food options (burger included) all the time, if you don't want to wait around for Wednesdays to roll around! They also have a wine club membership, which can be fun if you are into wine and experiencing new flavors.

Every thing was so good I had to try the key lime pie. I make a great key lime pie and I have to say that was a 10 out of 10. Our waitress, Christine, was amazing. We went out and watched a rocket launch with her and other guests. Best dinner out in a long time.

We were greeted by Christine and were seated promptly and had a very intimate table by the front window. It wasn't busy but we were there for a very early dinner. The decor is fun and whimsical. Christine was our server and she explained the day's specials. We ordered two martinis to start and they arrived in "chilled" martini glasses!! Who does that these days??? We elected to try their crab cake which is their "star" appetizer or entree. It was amazing!!!!! It is a large crab cake and mainly all crabmeat with very little filler....this is definitely a "do again"! We then had salads (one house and one Caesar). Very fresh vegetables and dressings. My wife ordered the "daily catch" special which was grouper. Once again a large filet and cooked to perfection. I had the ahi tuna entree which consisted of 3 large slices of rare tuna served with soy sauce, fresh wasabi, rice and ginger slices. Amazingly fresh and delicious. I could only eat 2 of the slices.... With dinner we had two glasses of the house Pinot Noir which Christine said it was from California. For a house wine it was very good. We wrapped up our evening having their warm chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream for dessert. It was so good! During our dinner the owner (Jeannie?) stopped by twice to check on us and to see if she could make our evening more enjoyable. Nice touch.... We thoroughly had a fabulous evening and will definitely be back again. Christine was such a joy and made us feel right at home!!! She said on our next visit we should try their pork chop which is also one of their notable entrees. We can't wait to return..... Paul & Ann

The fatty portion of my Prime Rib was excessive. I get that ribeye-style cuts derive flavor from fat, but this was to the point where it overwhelmed the dish and left me wishing I had ordered the lower-cost ribeye instead. On top of that, it came out medium instead of medium-rare, which didn't help. That said, others at the table ordered the NY Strip and Ribeye, and both looked excellent--cooked properly and more in line with what I'd expect from a steakhouse at this level. Highlights of the meal: Brazilian sliders were fantastic--definitely a must-order appetizer Oxtail stroganoff was rich and well executed Mac & cheese was a solid side Cocktails were creative and well made Overall, I've had better steaks at lower price points, but also worse ones at higher-end spots. Based on what I saw from other dishes, I'd absolutely give Ember & Oak another shot--just not with the Prime Rib next time.

We had a reservation and were seated as soon as we walked in. The actual restaurant was very clean and had a nice vibe to it! The seating was comfortable and spacious. Our server was a male (I forget his name) but he was great! He was very friendly, informative of the menu, and also attentive! Service can make or break your experience so I am glad we had a great server! My boyfriend said he had the best lemonade he has ever had. Our food was incredible. Everything tasted so fresh! We got a mixture of a bunch of things. I shared the steak and they were able to cut it in half and cook it at two different temperatures. The steak and mac n cheese were soo delicious!! Our server was kind enough to bring out a birthday dessert and package our food up for us! I knew the prices before walking in here, so I knew exactly what to expect. Most of the reviews say it's too expensive. It was "expensive" but the prices seemed VERY reasonable for the quality of food and the amount given. Overall, I had a great experience and I will definitely be back!

We ordered a little bit of everything and shared all of our dishes leaving nothing behind, full to the gills and dopamine filled brains. For wine lovers, you are guaranteed to find a fine bottle to enjoy with your meal. We sat at the chef table and joked around and admired chef Jason's work. He truly is an artist in the kitchen. The night was filled with laughs and one incredible bite after the next. Every dish was not only beautiful, but tasted even grander. Using unique ingredients and gorgeous presentations, everything was cooked to perfection which had my pallet dancing between textures and of course FLAVOUR! This was truly a magical evening, and I count the days to when we can do it again. If you have never been, go! Thank me later.

HOLY COW. Spanish River Grill!…read more This NSB gem is truly amazing. I had multiple friends recommend for dinner and everyone agreed it's one of their favorites in town. Well, they were 100% right and I was blown away. Our table of 5 ordered some serious goodies - I just wish we could have eaten more so we could have tried everything on the menu. The bacon wrapped dates were some of the best I've ever had. The whipped cheese with honey was insanely good. The chicken entree was wild -- so tender and flavorful and the potatoes were to die for. We ordered dessert and it was so good and went so fast that we actually ordered a second cake. The food came out super fast and our server was awesome. The restaurant is very low key but nice, nothing stuffy or too casual. I honestly was so surprised but so happy with the experience. Come one, come all, and enjoy your feast!

Our family of four (including our toddler and baby) sat outside, which was perfect. The atmosphere is unlike anywhere else--there's creative artwork everywhere you look, live entertainment, and even a violinist playing while we ate. It made the entire experience feel fun, unique, and relaxing. We ordered a pitcher of sangria along with the all-you-can-eat brunch, and every single dish came out exactly as described and absolutely delicious. We were honestly shocked by how much food they kept bringing out--it was an incredible amount. At $34 per adult (and just $11 for our toddler), it was an amazing value and worth every penny. We definitely left full and happy! A special shout-out to our waitress, Deborah, who was fantastic. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. If you're looking for a fun brunch spot in Orlando with great food, a lively atmosphere, and excellent service, TuTu Tango is an easy recommendation. We'll definitely be back!

We ordered Chicken Satay appetizer ($11.75) three skewers of grilled chicken with peanut sauce to dip into, Chroma Sliders ($16.25) white cheddar, bacon jam and chroma sauce, Chopped Salad ($13.75), and Seared Tuna + Crispy Rice ($20.25). We also shared Bread Pudding with a salted caramel sauce and gelato for dessert and it was incredible. Everything was well prepared and flavorful. These are smaller portions and just enough for the three of us. Service was really good and professional more like what you would expect at finer dining restaurants. The outside patio was nice as there was a breeze and each table had fly prevention fans on the tabletop which was excellent. They have a decent sized menu and they do offer some larger entrees to share which we will have to return to experience. This is a definite recommend and a place we will return to. Beautiful area that this restaurant is located in within the Lake Nona Med Center. Outside the restaurant in the courtyard there were several vendors set up selling things for Mother's Day. This itself was a beautiful area to spend time in. Free parking via garage.
