Jessica was absolutely amazing! She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Her positive attitude and excellent service made our experience even better. It's always refreshing to have a server who genuinely cares about her guests. Thank you, Jessica, for taking such great care of us! We'll definitely be back. read more

What an amazing date day ! Weather was perfect and the live saxophonist playing made the date even more romantic. We originally wanted brunch but ended up ordering lunch . For appetizers , we got the crab cakes and shrimp cocktail . For lunch , he ordered the cowboy steak and added grill shrimp and I had the fresh catch of the day which was so tender and flavorful! We ended lunch with a slice of creme brulee cheesecake and a glass of wine. Brooklyn was our server ( I requested her again) as I enjoyed her service during the Yelp event a few weeks ago. We will definitely come back ! read more

I attended a Yelp event at The Landing Rooftop and left wondering if the view or the food stole the show. Honestly, it's a close race. Perched above downtown Melbourne, the rooftop offers stunning panoramic views of the river, the causeway, and the city below. It's the kind of place where you find yourself taking "just one more picture" every few minutes. We started with a Bloody Mary and a creamy Espresso Martini--both beautifully crafted and a perfect way to settle in and enjoy the scenery. The crab cakes were fantastic: crispy on the outside, packed with crab, and refreshingly light on filler. The watermelon salad was bright, fresh, and incredibly flavorful. It came with olives, which weren't really necessary for us, but they were easy to set aside and didn't take away from an otherwise excellent dish. The star of the meal was the 12-ounce ribeye with cowboy butter, cooked rare exactly as requested. A perfect sear on the outside, tender and juicy inside. The crispy potatoes were golden and creamy, the heirloom carrots and asparagus were cooked beautifully, and the pesto added a fresh burst of flavor that tied everything together. Between the exceptional food, creative cocktails, attentive service, and a view that makes you want to linger long after the meal is over, The Landing Rooftop delivered an experience that felt special from start to finish. And a big thank you to Yelp for hosting such a wonderful event and giving us the perfect excuse to spend an afternoon enjoying one of Melbourne's best views. I'll definitely be back--though next time I may need to decide whether I'm there for the steak or the skyline. read more

This was such an amazing place to eat. The atmosphere of being on the tippy top of a hotel was just so fun! There was live music and lots of places to sit by the bar as well as inside and outside. What an amazing place to just chillax and be with friends or family! The food was SO GOOD! I especially loved the truffle fries. I wont miss ordering that under any circumstances. I would love to come back at night sometime to see the city scape all lit up and take advantage of the bonfire options outside. It was just too hot to sit outside today. The servers were very knowledgeable and very attentive. I will most certainly be back! read more

It was my first time at a Yelp event. I am so happy I went! Cora was an excellent server. She was extremely attentive and kind. I sat outside by myself, it was very quiet and peaceful. It was a little on the hot side but the hostess gave me a seat in the shade. She assured me if it got too hot she could easily move me inside. I decided on a salad. The watermelon and feta salad sounded so refreshing on a hot Florida day. I chose that instead of the grilled Reuben or the Angus steak burger. I am so happy I did. It was one of the best salads I have ever had and it was so refreshing. The staff was so appreciative that I was there. I highly recommend it after this visit and will take friends in my next visit. read more

**INITIAL REVIEW** Melbourne Main Street a.k.a. Historic Downtown Melbourne is a definite "go-to" location when it comes to mom n' pop eateries ranging from casual to fine dining. Why many of my five-star reviewed restaurants are in this stretch of historic Melbourne, FL. If there is one restaurant I'd say has the "most" magnificent views of Indian River, Melbourne Main Street, and even Golden Hours of the horizons, then it is definitely The Landing Rooftop (which I will shorthand simply to Landing for the remainder of this review). Though an address is provided, The Landing - as per its full nomenclature - is located on a rooftop, specifically the rooftop of Hilton's Hotel Melby. The free parking for the garage floors for the HIlton are limited, so if you can't get a spot, there is a free parking garage just north of Hotel Melby next to the City Hall. To get to The Landing, you have to enter the lobby of Hotel Melby and take the elevator up to the 11th floor, which is the floor dedicated to the restaurant. Don't worry, the staff won't say anything and they'll usually let you go as they know about the patron traffic to the restaurant. The Landing is a beautifully-designed restaurant with Hilton's signature modern classic designs of bright tans and white lights. There is both indoor and outdoor seating, but I suggest indoor seating during high sun hours and outdoor seating during golden hour times and nighttime dining. As mentioned earlier, the views are magnificent for Indian River and Melbourne. I've eaten multiple times here at The Landing, but my lastest visit was an impromptu "date" with my friend Damaris, simply because she has never been here before, and I was giving her the grand tour of Melbourne Main Street. We sat outside in the shaded overhang, but got to walk around taking pictures of the views from all four sides. We should have sat in the cocoon hanging chairs, but we didn't know when we'd get our food and drinks. Starting with the drinks, we got a couple of mocktails, the Lemon Bay Breeze and the Strawberry Sunset. Details of both drinks and prices are in the pictures. As for food, we both split their charcuterie board appetizer, which I say is quite amazing, but definitely needs more bread and crackers. It consisted of many kinds of meats, cheeses, jams, olives, nuts, and fruits. Everything was so delicious, but we had to start using the cheese and meat slices as the "bread." We also got two desserts to share, the classic key lime pie and I assume the pistachio olive oil cake. Both were delicious and details, including price, are captioned in their pics. And on a side note, the restrooms are clean and stocked as they are up to the standard of a Hilton. And apparently, The Landing is one of those restaurants that are behind the times on payment. They initially takes tap payments with cards, but not NCT on phones. Their system does not like protective virtual cards, which is a major negative in my honest opinion, given the fact their food is a bit pricey compared to the rest of the restaurants in Melbourne Main Street. Ultimately, I am going to give The Landing three-out-of-five stars for their review. And the reason why I am giving it this kind of rating is a comparison to other Hilton restaurants I have been to. Kinda like Hotel Melby itself, this restaurant is kinda under the average of the Hilton standard. Not bad, but I have had better at other Hilton hotels and resorts. Only standout are the views around and about the restaurant, and that is a farcry because we are talking about Melbourne and Indian River. But I will stress this is one of the best places to dine while watching a rocket launch out of Cape Canaveral. read more

Emily is flat out awesome ask for her you won't regret it! She's fast, patient, friendly, knowledgeable, intelligent, and a professional.

Enjoyed our stay at the Melby for Thanksgiving and the rooftop was definitely something worth checking out. The rooftop is cozy and a cute spot to grab dinner! We were seated quickly and our server was really nice too. I really enjoyed the wings and the flatbread was also good with the perfect amount of crispy for the crust. The fries were truly the star of the show! Super crispy, the shape was great and we really enjoyed the sauce. The smoke old-fashioned was also very good and we appreciated that they actually smoked it. This sangria was also very good. No complaints! read more

Made a reservation for two the night before. We were able to add another couple with no problem. We decided to sit at the outside bar. The night weather was a little chilly, but they had the space heaters on , which was perfect. Great bartender, made us delicious cocktails. Nice view from the rooftop. I had the bone in pork chop. It was delicious. We also had some flatbread and salads which were very good. Cool spot to either hang with some appetizers and drinks or have a good dinner with a view. read more

Excellent water and city views! First time eating at this restaurant and highly recommend you make a reservation. It gets very busy. Staff were very nice and accommodating. I first ordered the shrimp tacos which came with a sauce that made it too spicy for me. I asked if I could order the Hot Honey Crispy Chicken Sandwich because my sister and friend ordered it and said it wasn't spicy. They allowed me to order it, and it was so good. It has a good flavor and came with curled potato fries which were delicious. My daughter said the shrimp tacos were very tasty and she liked the spicy kick to it. It's a little pricey, but definitely worth a visit. read more

Went there over the weekend to celebrate my birthday and really enjoyed myself. Server was great! very friendly and helped us make some good selections. The atmosphere felt cozy and intimate despite the fact that a large event was going on, on the other side of the restaurant. The hotel itself is gorgeous! The only drawback was that we didn't get to sit outside, but that's an us thing. not a them thing. definitely will be going back and booking outdoor seating to enjoy that vibe. read more

These young people - back of house, front of house - couldn't care less about what they're doing, and they want to make sure you know it. Oysters Rockefeller unshucked, still attached to the shell; 45 minute waits between courses; asking what you thought and then completely ignoring your answer; even just the hostile glare from the bartender as I sat down at her bar. Yes, I do regret coming here. You won. But you also lost, because you're a bunch of losers. Diners steer clear. read more

The server was very nice but has a short memory. The food was delicious. The view was spectacular.

First of all, AMAZING VIEW !! Usually rooftop restaurants in my experience are congested and dirty, but this place was far from that. Beautiful ocean and downtown views. We had amazing service, which really set the tone for our lunch. My husband ordered an appetizer of oysters, then Tuna Poke which he enjoyed with a nice cocktail. I ordered a mocktail to go along with the seared ahi Niçoise salad. Super refreshing and delicious! Parking was a bit odd, give yourself 5-10 minutes for that. But overall great experience and must visit restaurant! read more

Great views, food, and service is what the Landing should be known about. Nestled on the rooftop of the Hotel Melby in the heart of downtown Melbourne with beautiful views of the intercoastal and Indialantic Beach. We were warmly greeted by Maddy our server who was very knowledgeable and friendly. Katerina, the manager, also table touched throughout our experience to ensure we had a great time. my beverage of choice was an old fashioned which had an exclusive private barrel for the hotel by Angel Envy. My friend had the sunny daze which was their version of the painkiller. We then started our epicurean journey with their charcuterie board and the 12oz NY strip. Friends enjoyed the Porkchop and the Goat cheese Beet Salad. Very colorful and tasty dishes. finished with a key lime pie accompanied with a mango sorbet. had a friend who had a gluten and dairy allergy and took great care of her. We noticed they have Sunday brunch and having a Fourth of July event as well. Will definitely come back next time Im in area. read more

We visited The Landing Rooftop in Palm Bay during a staycation! From the atmosphere to the service, everything was spot on. The Food We started with the Peach Burrata Salad, which was incredibly fresh and the perfect way to kick off lunch. For our mains: Caramelized Goat Cheese Beet Salad: This was a standout. The goat cheese had actual caramelized pieces on top--almost like it was brûléed. It added a delicious, crunchy sweetness that paired perfectly with the beets. Steak Burger: My husband really enjoyed this; it was hearty and cooked perfectly. Crispy Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich: My friend loved the balance of heat and sweet. We finished with the Hummingbird Cake for dessert. Our server described it as "banana bread on crack," and she wasn't lying! It was absolutely phenomenal. The Service A huge shoutout to our server, Stephanie. She was so sweet and hospitable, checking in on us several times and engaging in just the right amount of light small talk. She made us feel very welcome and well-taken care of. Bottom Line Delicious food, great vibes, and excellent service. We loved our experience! read more

Arrived with a party of 2 around 7:00pm. We decided to sit inside. We were greeted by our waiter, whose name was Anthony. Anthony was absolutely amazing. He explained things on the menu. Let us know what's the most popular thing on the menu you were. Anthony was also very attentive and helpful. Would definitely go back just to see him. But aside from all of that. The ambience was great. The views were amazing to see Melbourne at a different view. The food was pretty good. I wish they would have been more vegetarian options.. which started as we had crabcakes. Wish they had a little more crab meat, but they were pretty good. Didn't really like how the coleslaw was underneath. The crabcakes made the bottom a little soggy. I got the flatbread which was pretty good. I really enjoyed it. We also tried the crème brûlée cheesecake very delicious. Would definitely order that again. I had two glasses of Moscato very delicious and went well with the crème brûlée cheesecake. A dining experience here was pretty good, but definitely recommend to others. read more

My wife and I enjoyed our food! We both had the Angus burger with the sidewinder fries. Both burgers were cooked perfectly...one medium well, and one medium. For apps we had Conch Fritters and and order of hot honey bbq wings. They were both very good and cooked just right. Very flavorful. The burgers need a bit more salt and pepper but nothing crazy. The ambience is top notch...you have a great view of the surrounding area. We choose to eat outside and then had the joy of watching a thunder storm roll in. The staff were very accommodating and helped us move to a new table. Our server was great...very friendly. If I had to knock anything it would be the soft drinks taste bad...maybe that's a thing in Florida...the soft drinks in Orlando were hit and miss as well. Additionally, the parking situation isnt clear for a non-local. The sign on the 2nd floor says to text your license plate but then there is a qr code that wants your personal info for free 3 hour parking. I chose to just text the plate and let God take the wheel...lol! All and all great experience...few hiccups, and I would also add that there should be a few more offerings on the menu between the burger at the bottom and the costlier offerings. I would recommend! read more

Feedback from a General Manager: I'm giving this feedback not just as a guest, but as someone who manages six locations and understands. Your rooftop space is beautiful and has incredible potential, but my recent visit highlighted several issues that absolutely need attention. Here's what we experienced: The food was overcooked, which is a basic execution issue. Food tasted very plan. We sat 15-20 minutes before receiving water, despite the restaurant being nearly empty. Our food took an extremely long time to come out on what was essentially a very slow morning. The staff seemed disengaged, and low-energy, which immediately affects the guest experience. Based on other reviews, it appears management responds in comments but may not actually follow up with guests directly, offer recovery, or invite them back -- a big missed opportunity. I even tipped to help the server, but the service itself didn't earn it. That tells me this isn't just an "off day" -- it points to deeper inconsistency and a lack of leadership presence. Other Guests Are Reporting Similar Issues After my visit, I went through recent reviews across multiple platforms, and the patterns match what I experienced: "Consistently slow service even with new management." (Yelp) "Food is a little overpriced or just average for the cost." Employee reviews on Indeed mention low morale, poor management communication, and staff feeling disrespected, which could explain the disengaged atmosphere. A TripAdvisor review mentioned the difficulty of even flagging down a server or getting the check, which mirrors what we experienced. These are not isolated incidents -- they're systemic issues showing up repeatedly. Why This Matters You have a gorgeous space and a concept that should absolutely be thriving(which may be). But without stronger leadership, better training, faster service, and real guest recovery, these issues will continue to hurt your reputation and business. This should be a 4.5-5.0 star. You guys got this!! Keep pushing!! A few intentional changes -- re-engaging staff, tightening execution, boosting morale, and personally reaching out to unhappy guests with a comp or voucher -- could dramatically transform this place. I'm giving this feedback because I can see the potential here. I'd love to see management take these concerns seriously and turn this restaurant into the standout it should be. May God bless you and your team. Take care and God Bless. read more

Love this place from time to time! Friendly staff and food is always very good. Great drinks as well! Definitely recommend.

Gorgeous view of Melbourne up here :O Located at the top of Hotel Melby (no reservation required to access the bar). We stopped by for a quick drink before dinner. The decor is contemporary and simple, if a little corporate (kinda that generic hotel vibe?). But clean and well-maintained. We seated ourselves at the fire pit and ordered drinks at the bar. No table service outside. Drinks were good, but took some time to prepare. After finding out the fire pit was broken, one of the staff rushed over from across the bar to kindly offer to manually ignite it. It was a small gesture, but I appreciated how attentive he was of guests. He mentioned that it'd broken recently-- I couldn't help but wonder why the knob wasn't labeled and open to public to fiddle with. Kinda dangerous to just let customers potentially light the whole place on fire LOL. NOTE: At the time we visited, half of the tables on the balcony were marked as reserved. But for the two or so hours we were there, they remained empty. We found out that they're preemptively blocked for reservations-- maybe call ahead of time if you want better seats? read more

Well things have changed since the last time I've visited! Guess it's the numb world that we're living in. Went to the RoofTop @ 0900 and was seated immediately. While enjoying the outside view, another couple was seated at 0909, suddenly they started getting simple service like coffee/water and then their order was taken. I hailed the hostess to ask was there an issue, she replied that there wasn't a food runner and the server had to run their own food. FINE. The only hole I see in that was we made full eye contact with Lauren whilst she was at the table behind us. (Service). As you said, I guess Rachel is with the RoofTop anymore. The shrimp and avocado ceviche was delicious only issue-there wasn't any avocado in the dish. (Food). Not by request! read more

I really don't know where to start. The view from The Landing is outstanding and, in my experience, the food and drinks were solid and a reasonable price for that type of hotel restaurant. The service, however, is consistently mediocre and some of the worst I've ever experienced at any hotel restaurant anywhere in the world. I was there during the holidays off season. The Landing was never that busy when I went (and I went at various times of day and evening) and seemed fairly heavily staffed so the service should have been good, but it wasn't. It took forever for simple orders like sodas and regular coffee to arrive (our waters never did come) and we needed to ask for things like cream for our coffee a couple of times before receiving it. On four of the five different times we arrived at the nearly empty restaurant, we were greeted then stood around awkwardly for several minutes waiting to be seated (as the sign indicated we should) before someone (without even looking at us) would mumble something about sitting anywhere. The most engagement we had from any staff member was the waiter (who wasn't even our waiter) who kept repeatedly asking us to give him a good review (even though he NEVER served us on any of our visits). We did see the staff engaging with each other and their friends and family who were there, though. Several times we were on the elevator with staff heading to or from work and they engaged only with their phones (not even saying hello to hotel guests). The Landing has so much potential but management really needs to come in and overhaul the training of the staff. Teach them how to engage with customers (and potential customers when wearing the uniform) and how to actually provide hospitable and conscientious service since they work in the hospitality industry. read more

I have dined here previously with average results not worthy of a review. Last evening, however, my daughter, my grand daughter, my husband and my daughter's husband decided to celebrate Mother's Day at the Landing Roof Top. We looked forward to the view, the wonderful breezes and general ambiance. The view and comfortable booth did not disappoint. Sadly last night's meal (at least for my husband and me) was seriously lacking. Our server was polite and professional but we had a hard time gaining her attention to order, most likely because there were many guests trying to also celebrate Mother's with their own nice experience. What really turned out to be a below average meal was a disappointment. The food was unremarkable. First the good news: the Oysters Rockefeller appetizer was wonderful. The oysters were sweet, a little on the small side, and topped with a classical flavorful mix of Parmesan, spinach, etc. Very nice. Then came the main and salad course. My daughter shared some of her beet and goat cheese salad with me. It was lovely. My husband on the other hand ordered the Caesar salad with anchovies. What he received was a chopped (bagged?) romaine based salad with dollops of what seemed to resemble a bottled average Caesar dressing. No anchovies. The salad was no better than an out of bag salad you could buy at a grocery store. He ordered a hamburger. The meat in the burger was nearly raw and completely unseasoned. Very disappointing. I ordered the grouper dinner. The fish arrived in two small pieces, probably about 4 oz total, if I were to estimate generously. There was supposedly a mango sauce with that. What sauce there was as placed was scant, but tasty. The fish was overcooked and dry, settled on a bed of spinach and jasmine rice. Nothing special for a price of an entree nearing $40. This was no doubt one of the worst fish meals I've had anywhere in the Melbourne area. The dessert was tasty, a good and true key lime pie served with a bit of mango sorbet which was an excellent flavor pairing. Both my husband and I agreed as much as we want to love this place, we won't be back. There are far better restaurants in the area. Perhaps they have a new or inexperienced cook/chef. In any case for the price they need to up their game. read more
