Great location right on the water. The food came quickly and offered average value for money. The portions could have been a little larger.

Ashlee C. Is wonderful. She is the sweetest and very good at her job. We had delicious food and the best waitress ever!! She made our first experience so much fun with her bubbly personality.

Food and service were so bad I hated to even pay the bill. Conch Fritters were cooked too fast. Dark brown on the inside, not cooked on the inside. The roulade sauce was good. We ordered the crab cake dinner.. the worst crab cakes we have ever had.. now I must admit we love Maryland Blue Crab cakes .. this had absolutely no resemblance to a real crab cakes. The waitress didn’t stop to see if we needed anything. French fries came w the crab cakes.. no ketchup in site. My husband left the table and asked a staff member to find our waitress because the salad was missing and we wanted ketchup. So I would never recommend this place for a meal. Bottom line. probably a fun place for drinks and live music but don’t waste your money on dinner. on their food.

The server was friendly and nice. The salads were fresh and came out before our food as requested. The grouper was disgusting, after one bite we told the server. it almost made me feel sick it was so foul tasting. She let us order something else so we ordered the fried shrimp and they were pretty good. The other shrimp on my shrimp trio special were just ok. Dont order the grouper!!

My husband were in Cocoa Beach for 3 days and had lunch at Sunset 2 times. The food was the usual bar & grill fare but the allure is the location. It is right on the Banana River and both times we were there we watched dolphins right from our table. It was enchanting! We are from Minnesota so watching the dolphins was quite a treat. One of our waitresses was A+. Without even asking she filled "to go" cups with our beverages without us asking for it. I guess she knew we were wide-eyed tourists!

I had blackened grouper and conch fritters… My favorite , and a delicious Mojito to cool off the day and a beautiful sunset, although there are awnings that technically were obstructing our view, but we took a little walk on the dock and it was beautiful. They have a sister restaurant in Cocoa Beach, which we also loved during our stay called The Fish Camp equally tasty food

Ugh. We were a party of three adults who ordered drinks and dinner. The spicy Margarita wasn't and the mix used for the Bloody Mary mix must have been a generic brand because it was tasteless. The requested liquor for the Bloody Marys was Tito's but it was obvious to us that it wasn't. Two of us ordered grouper and were disappointed by two things. First of all, the grouper had been previously frozen--two of us are locals and know fresh fish, this wasn't it. The only thing is that it tasted very fishy--again, had it been fresh, there would have been no fishiness about it. Both who had eaten the grouper ended up sick that evening and the next day. If you are looking for fresh fish, this is not the place. Do yourself a favor and go to Florida's Fresh Grill instead--it doesn't have the view, but the food cannot be equaled.

DO NOT!!! Waste your time/money going here. Went today 5/13/2025. Thought we would do happy hour then have dinner. Had to ask someone to seat us, NEVER told us if you wanted to do happy hour you had to sit at 1 of 2 bars. Asked is we could do happy hour get it ourself and come back to our T Lee to order food…yes we were told, however, the bartender had other thoughts she told out (great server) to give our card back to us and inform us if we wanted anything else to drink we are not to sit at a table. We asked our server if she was ok if we st at the other bar, she was extremely good with it and stated the bartender was actually the manager very nice, personable. NOT the case she would not give us the time of day!!!!!. I have no idea what the heck we did wrong never been here before but could not wit to leave. WILL NEVER return to this dump!!!!

Visited here whilst staying at a local hotel. The views are brilliant, food was lovely, nothing fancy but we all enjoyed our meal. The view was amazing, we watched the dolphins playing in the water through our whole meal. The waitress was brilliant, remembered all 6 of our meals, amendments, additions and not one item was incorrect. Not many parking spaces but that's the only downside. Really enjoyed this place.

Came here on a whim while fishing. When we got in, all the beer taps were down.. no problem. The waiter (whoms name I will not mention) not in a negative way per se but just didn't seem to care. When asked what beers they had, he didn't know and just said domestics and at that point didn't tell us the taps were down, so we were a little surprised when bottles came out and they poured my can into a cup. My grandfather ordered a grilled chicken sandwich and it came out blackened. He attempted to eat it but couldn't handle the spice, so he politely explained the situation and he said he will have them remake it. He put the order in, some time later the server came back to gas him staying that the sandwich was indeed grilled and not blacked. He said that anytime someone asked for grilled all spices come with it that next timenif he can't handle spice, to order something else or make it a point to say absolutely no seasoning. I find that very disrespectful type of tone and attitude to have towards an elderly gentleman who did nothing but apologize for asking for something else. Once the bill came there was a $4 credit card fee AND a $2 convenience fee, which could not be explained...Will not return

The view from this place is spectacular. Unfortunately that was the only thing that was good. I ordered a fish sandwich and it didn’t taste right. Waiter never came by to ask how our food was or if we needed a refill on a drink. When she finally came back to pick up our plates and see if we wanted dessert we told her the fish didn’t taste right of my meal. She didn’t offer to bring out another meal, never asked us if we wanted to talk to a manager, or even remove the charge from the bill as it was not consumed due to poor quality. The service and food quality here are subpar and my family and I will not be back here. It’s a shame because the view is truly amazing.
