Tuna Tartar

Service and food were incredible. Julio was very accommodating and attentive. My girls enjoyed the Scallops so much, they asked if we could go back for dinner.

Chicken Terriyaki
Colin X.

Staying at Hilton ocean front hotel in Cocoa Beach stuck in hotel waiting for Hurricane Milton to pass. I had to eat in hotel as all restaurants closed. Tell me how much would you pay for this (See Picture ). I can't believe they charge $25 for something I would expect to see at a food truck for $10 and even then I would feel aggrieved. It looks like it has been created by an apprentice cook on his first week in the job after working at Subway. This is supposed to be a high class hotel why do they allow such poor standards in the restaurant. I know they can do better I've eaten at the Hilton up the road in their Starlight Restaurant and the standard was way better. So to the meal itself it wasn't bad at least it was hot not like warm as so many restaurants serve it. Not sure about the cold shredded carrot I'm sure they could substitute a different cooked vegetable to compliment. The chicken teriyaki was tasty with a nice kick rice was ok, only two sprigs of broccoli (is it that expensive !!) On a positive the staff were excellent especially as they had to stay overnight in the hotel due to the storm so kudos for the sacrifice. Would I eat here again ? Not if I can help it.

Located inside the Hilton hotel. Very chic ambiance and cool presentation of dishes and drinks.

I actually walked by this place at first with no intention of eating here, but the name and the…read morevibe caught my eye. After a couple hours laying on the beach I was starving and immediately thought of it again. So glad I went back. It's really close to Cocoa Beach and sits in such a cute little beach town area. Ambiance: 8/10 Super cute spot with a great tiki beach vibe. There's a big bar in the center with seating all around it, plus plenty of tables off to the side. I lucked out and grabbed a seat at the bar which was perfect after being out in the sun. High top chairs, chill energy, exactly what I was in the mood for. Service: 8/10 The girls behind the bar were great. I have some annoying allergies that tend to be in everything, and my food came out without the modifications at first. I hate sending food back, but had to on this one. They were really nice and apologetic about it though, which I appreciated. Super friendly and attentive without being overbearing, which is honestly my favorite. Food: 9/10 I got the brisket nachos without pickled onions or jalapenos and also tried the happy hour chicken bites. Both were so good. The brisket was chef's kiss. The chicken bites had that perfect light crunch on the outside and were still juicy inside. Honestly fire. If you're in the area I definitely recommend checking this place out. My only regret is not grabbing some of their merch before I left.

It is unfortunate that I am having to give this place a 2 stars because it could really be…read moresomething if changes were made. The atmosphere is awesome, which is why I am even giving it 2 stars. There are outdoor games and sometimes live music. Now that we got the only positives out of the way, let's move on. The food is horrible. No way around it. We had a party of 9, which I realize is a lot, but we have been going out to eat all weekend with that amount and never had an issue. 4 of us had to send our Mahi back because it was overcooked. Dry and literally hard. Two had ordered Mahi tacos and the other two ordered what they are supposed to be known for, the Mahi Mahi entrée. We chatted with our server about it and she said she was going to send over the manager. The manger arrived, asked what was wrong and we told her. No apologies, no nothing. She just said, well do you want us to make you all something else. We obviously said yes and ordered other items. Everyone else was eating while the 4 of us waited for our new food items... well everyone except 1 person in our party. He has still not received what he ordered to begin with. When we asked our server her response was, "I know, it's coming." Then a few minutes later she came over asking what it was he ordered. His ended up coming out with the other 4 people's remade meals. Those meals weren't as badly overcooked but they also just weren't good. Shrimp tacos were flavorless, chicken tacos overcooked... etc. The price and the taste just don't add up for me. That and the fact that the manager never once apologized to us for the issues or anything. Needless to say, this is a place you go to have a few drinks and that's it.

Sauces were off the chart delicious. - Ricotta toast: insanely thick and fluffy perfect pieces of bread topped with dollops of whipped ricotta and chili crisp. Crunchy, smooth, and a bit of spice. The appetizer I didn't know I needed in my life. 5 stars - Shrimp cocktail: probably the best I've had. 5 humongous shrimp perfectly cooked and chilled. Served with a Thai peanut satay sauce that was delectable. Didn't envision this combo and it worked so well. 5 stars - Lamp chips: 3 nice pieces my husband and friend enjoyed. 4.5 stars - Miso cod: solid version marinated as expected with 2 pieces plus bok choy. 4.5 stars - Umami fries: large plate of perfectly crispy curly fries with Japanese spices on top. 4 stars - Mozzarella sticks: long rectangles covered in a panko potato mix. Crunchy and gooey. Paired with ranch and guachong sauce. 4 stars - Artichokes: 3 large lightly fried pieces which looked like chicken wings. Could've been sliced into smaller bites. 3.75 stars - Dining room: modern bougie vibe. Long bar across the length of the restaurant with a few higher tables of in back (shaped like elongated guitar picks) and a banquettes. A living wall ceiling and artsy wooden touches. Midlights - Flank steak: large slices with not too much flavor. Most unremarkable item we had. 3 stars - Water service: need bigger glasses or for them to leave a carafe on the tables as they didn't come by to refill often enough. Being in a tropical location, hydration is important. - Drinks: cocktails sounded fancy but were just ok. Even their version of a smoked old fashion was lacking in the smoke reveal. Wine was also just ok - Waiter kept on calling us sir and ma'am making us feel old and bit uncomfortable Lowlights - Out of few things. their sole bakery item dessert in a brownie I was excited about and 2 out of 7 glasses of red wines
