PG is a cozy little place that's been around for 25 years and it is an excellent restaurant. The attention from the staff, the perfect timing between dishes and the quality of the food is all top notch. My wife had the Triple tail and it was a work of art. The coconut curry sauce was phenomenal! I splurged and got the wagyu strip steak and it was cooked perfectly and was delicious. We began with the mussels and they were the meatiest, largest mussels we've ever had, and the portion was more than generous. This is a gem in Cocoa Beach, do yourself a favor and get there.

We shared the Baked Brie, which was excellent. My wife had the Shrimp and Scallops which she really enjoyed. I had the pork chop, which was huge. Very tasty. The mashed potatoes and the Brussel sprouts were also very good. Good service.

Pompano Grill was recommended by our Airbnb hosts & I have read reviews on other websites about it. We were able to get a reservation right when they opened. It's a very much hole in the wall restaurant. I was expecting a little more fanciness to it given the prices. They only have beer and wine- no cocktails which was a little disappointing. I had the filet and my husband had Pasta Carbonara. I also ordered a side of mac and cheese. Food and service was very good overall! The prices were too expensive for what it was!

Pompano Grill offers top shelf in food and service! Everything was superb to our party of 4. Not one complaint! We enjoyed the mussels, flatbread, pork chops, short rib, tile fish and dessert. Again, not one complaint! Everything was tastefully prepared and presented with thoughtfulness. When will Pompano Grill be awarded by Michelin?

Of course! Here's a polished review for Pompano Grill and your amazing host Ben: We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Pompano Grill! From start to finish, everything was perfect—the atmosphere, the food, and especially the service. Our host, Ben, was incredible. He made us feel so welcome and guided us through the menu with great recommendations. His wine pairing suggestions were spot on and truly elevated the entire meal. You can tell he's passionate and knowledgeable, and that made our evening even more enjoyable. The food was out of this world—every bite was delicious. We left with full hearts (and stomachs!) and will definitely be coming back. Highly, highly recommend! Bria, Slovenia (EU)

Never disappoints absolutely the best ever food and service. Thank you for our anniversary card. Such small things make a difference.

This place has amazing fish daily specials and probably it the best seafood restaurant in the area. The food is upscale but the vibe is chill, it is a smaller restaurant but they have new tables outside which is nice

The food was okay. The service was good. The place is so small . It felt overcrowded and so loud inside. It definitely didn't meet our expectations.

Overall, The Pompano Grill was a fantastic experience. I've visited Cocoa Beach quite a few times growing up in Florida and usually don't leave raving about the food. After a nice meal with my wife and daughter for my 29th, I can say Pompano changed that Point of View and is a top tier restaurant. The Chefs Halibut Special and Strip steak were both great serving sizes, flavorful and were creative. Everything was fresh, the service was attentive and they accomadated my daughter with a high chair and ensured us that she was welcome at the restaurant throughout our meal. The ambiance is great and when your plate hits the table your in for a treat.
First time here last Saturday and it was AMAZING. We were welcomed as soon as we walked in. The staff were attentive, polite and knew every detail on the menu. Our waiter, Austin was fabulous and so pleasant (and extremely cute). I even chatted with Chef Ricardo who, even though he was super busy, spent a few minutes talking with me. I had the macadamia crusted mahi mahi. It was superb! This place is a little hidden gem. Will definitely be back the next time I’m in Cocoa Beach. Thank you Chef Ricardo and your amazing staff!

If you haven't been here you MUST go. What a treat this meals was. Absolutely phenomenal. Caesar salad was amazing. Delicious blackened grouper with a lovely lobster and crab cream sauce. Brussel sprouts fire roasted with maple/sirachi and to finish a fantastic creme brulee and tiramisu.
Every part of the metal was fabulous. Highly recommend.

I expected great things from all I've heard over the years and yes, the food looks amazing.The millionaire bacon isn't what you expect. It was like fatty cured ham chunks, smoked/charred with a decent enough sweet flavor and dusted with edible gold dust (which hides the fat BTW) My Scallops ala Raviola tasted good until I cut into my 2nd scallop and it was still a little raw. So I filled up on my green beans and 3 ravioli. Also good, but not enough and I'm a light eater!! My husband had an off menu item Surf and Turf (which also looked amazing). The steak was tender and had good flavor, but it was drenched in the chimichurri sauce topping. I love that flavor, but a little goes a long way. You really couldn't tell the difference in the quality of steaks they rave about from an Outback one. Potaoes were good, but Best part of meal were the grilled green beans. My husband rarely likes restaurant beans, but these were so good he ate them all, except the few I stole. The Creme Brulee was good, but not great and our Cappuccino's were more foam than coffee, but what I had was good. The staff was attentive, so that's a plus!! As far as atmosphere, it's only because we had one of two window seats that it didnt it feel better than a old diner. I wasn't complaining about any of it though because we were celebrating- until I saw the bill. Yikes. Now, don't get me wrong I was expecting around $130 or so mind you-No drinks, but bacon app and dessert with coffee so I'm not clueless. But we walked out at $235 with a 15% tip later and none of it was worth that much. I mean who does this place think they are, Disney? Seriously, I've had better food, better atmosphere and drinks for less in Orlando. (And that's saying something, tourist trap that it is). This is why I hate trying new places. It's rare, you find a gem- But, I'll keep trying because they are out there!!

Another amazing meal at Pompano! Love the new menu with so many choices. Will be back soon to try more! The new coconut shrimp appetizer is delicious with a pina colada sauce you could drink! Loved the new pasta selections with fresh homemade pastas and meatballs (or additional seafood selections). My husband had the special golden tile fish that was perfectly cooked!

Our friends are in town for their anniversary and always want to go to Pompano Grill because they love the food. They even got a special anniversary card signed by the staff. The new menu is great and everything we had was amazing - Meatball appetizer, Tuna appetizer, steaks and scallops with ravioli - all excellent. Thank you Jackie and Chef Ricardo for our great meals and Austin for the exceptional service - as always.
