“Stopped in for lunch on a Monday, decently busy. Service was prompt and greeted immediately. Ordered a Village blues burger, their take on a bacon and blue cheese. Burger was phenomenal, temp was spot-on medium. The char on the meat was superb the grill master allowed just enough of the char flame to tickle the surface and create that perfect crust but still protecting the flavor and moisture. The bacon crispy and just enough not to over power the beef. Bun fresh toasted, this burger magician is a master craftsman. LTOP as always. The gorgonzola funky and creamy just as you would expect. The sauce...the house made sauce.... lemon honey aoli, the balance the acid, the sweeteness the creamiest, pretty sure cherubs themselves spread this glorious masterpiece on the bun. Will I be back?! Does a snake piss low to the ground? Yes. This little Gastropub hits all the expectations and more. Cheers!“

“If you bring your kids on the Disney Dream, I guarantee this will be their favorite sit-down restaurant. It has technology like Turtle Talk with Crush at Disney World, and Crush moves around the screens in the rooms to talk to tables. The food was good; we were shocked at how much we did enjoy the menu here.

It’s rare to encounter a server with such personality , we thought his boss should know what a gem they have on their team! :0)“

“The Chef's Table Steakhouse, Suntree, 7720 N Wickham Road, Melbourne, FL- 5-Stars Top 5 Alert! We have a new entrant in the Big Boy's Top 5 Restaurants in Brevard, The Chef's Table, self-described on Yelp as a "Prime Steakhouse that specializes in Angus Brand Prime Beef, fresh seafood and local produce." Prior to visiting this Suntree establishment, I thought of David Dashi--executive chef and owner of Amici's Italian Restaurant next door--as just another local restauranteur along the lines of Brano's Italian Grill in Cocoa Beach, and Alfredo's Paradiso Kitchen in Merritt Island, both of whom talk a good game, but sell poorly-prepared, low-quality ingredients for exorbitant prices. That said, I was promised by a prominent food purveyor that unlike Dashi's other clip joints, food at The Chefs Table consists of only high-quality ingredients. They were not wrong. The fare here is top shelf and properly prepared. The Chef's Table also offers a panoply of quality craft potables. Having fallen off the wagon last month, I ordered a Rye Manhattan cocktail. The Manhattan is a tricky drink, as the overuse of bitters can throw it off. However, this cocktail was lovingly prepared by Brevard County's top waiter, David Denny, who was manning the bar that evening. I had requested this talented garçon as my server, but occupied as he was offering up laudable libations, our waiter for the evening ended up being Chad. What Chad lacked in charisma, he made up for in efficiency, knowledge, and exuberant attention to detail. The table started off with Fresh Burrata and Tuna Carpaccio, which produced an exquisite palate punch from the fried capers. Yes, you heard me correctly, fried capers. Absolute genius! For my entrees, I picked 12-ounce New York Strip, rare and the Pan-Seared Scallops served with Wild Mushroom Risotto. The bed of creamy risotto on which the scallops were layered was divine. The only weakness in this entire meal was the size of the scallops. For forty smackers, I want to see jumbo scallops. However, the preparation was on point with a crisp delicate crust. For sides, we ordered the Lobster Mac 'N' Cheese, Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Smoked Bacon, Fresh Creamed Spinach, and Oven-Roasted Beets with Goat Cheese. I am running out of space, so just let me say, "Bravo!" The Big Boy says, "If you are looking to have a special evening with a loved one--or can afford glorious dining every night--go to The Chef's Table in Suntree!"“

“The staff was so friendly and accommodating! We are very happy with our experience here. Definitely plan to make this a regular stop during our winter say here. Food was delicious. Went on New Years Day but definitely going back for the Sun./Wed. Prime beef special!,“
