21 Best Seafood Restaurants near Cocoa

“We picked this restaurant based on the menu having a solid fresh fish selection. It was a good choice. First, the blackened triple tail fish was possibly the best fish I've had in recent memory - moist, tender and flakey. Our server, (a lovely young woman named Jordyn, I believe), recommended the scampi sauce to complement it which was a surprisingly awesome choice. The fried Brussels sprouts were also delicious. The crap cake and seafood Alfredo were also excellent.
There were a few service errors but I only took off one star because of the way they made up for them. Very professional and exactly the way to handle the occasional error. The manager visited our table several times to make sure we were happy wth everything.
Would definitely come back if we are ever in the area again.“

“I bought 4 friends for lunch on Saturday as this has been my favorite restaurant in Brevard County since the 70's. Even had my daughter's pre-wedding luncheon there. These 4 ladies had never been to the Cafe. Their meals were fabulous. The waitresses were amazing. We had a different waitress who took our coffee order. I did not get her name. She was blonde and short. She began to get rude and continued until we left. So what would have been a lovely experience, ended. They will never go back.“

“I’d like to express my heartfelt appreciation for Ashly and the wonderful service she provided during my visit. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to making sure I had the best experience with my food order. Yayy!! 🙈 I truly appreciated the way she took the time to walk me through their variety of food options and explain which toppings would be the healthiest and most suitable for me. 🥰 Her warm attitude, patience, and attention to detail made my visit not only enjoyable but truly memorable. 🥹 Thank you, Ashly for your excellent service and for going above and beyond—you made a real difference in my day.

“Excellent meal all around. The seafood is great here. I recommend the catch of the day, the duck confit, jumbo black tiger shrimp, wild blue crab feature, and the Thai steak salad. Draft beer, wine, cocktails (wine based) and cocktails are all fantastic as well. service was great. 5 stars!“

“Food was excellent and staff was wonderful. If your in the area this should definitely be on your list of places to eat, you won’t be disappointed“

“I cannot imagine how this place gets anything other than a 5 star review except there should be an option for 6 stars

Food - are you freakin’ kidding me. Amazing

Service - the only thing that could have been better is if they read our damn minds and just brought the food

I strongly recommend you try this place. Anything less than a 5 star is a joke“

“Amazing Wine Tasting dinner this evening at Luna Food & Wine in Cocoa Beach. The wine pairings were fabulous and spot on. Never would have thought of pairing a Chardonnay with a spicy crevette creole but it was perfect. Outstanding menu, perfect sized portions and wonderful pairings with wines from Midnight Cellars. Waiting for the next wine pairing dinner there. Chef Luca and LeeAnn are such wonderful hosts and make their guest feel like family.“

“Pompano Grill is an incredible restaurant. The food, service and overall experience is first class all the way!! I personally think it is the best restaurant in Brevard County.“

“We like the food here, and know the menu without even seeing it. we really go here because of the views. You can see the cruise ships departing and arriving from Port Canaveral. Some of them even dock right next to the Grills deck. Very fun location but gets crowded very fast. You can also see rocket launches from this location.“

“We had a lovely lunch in a relaxing setting. Our food was delicious and service was great. I will be back!“

“The manager connects the dots quietly and makes it work. Taylor warmly welcomes us always. Just lost Earnie to Orlando BFG. We adopted him years back. Vaughn and Adam are like family. We look forward to the staff almost as much as the food. Wife loves the Sea Bass. Be sure to ask for Vaughn or Adam and all will go well.🙂“

“We always enjoy our time at Seafood Atlantic when in the area. The ambiance sitting at the waterfront deck is so peaceful, enjoying the dolphins and pelicans. Our go-to meal is the crab boil for two, which includes snow crab, red shrimp, hardshell clams, PEI mussels, corn, and taters. It really gives you a nice sampling of what the menu offers. Everything is steamed to perfection and then marinated in fantastically seasoned butter sauce. A side order of chowder is what I get (perfection), but the Ceasar salad is quite tasty as well. This time, we also enjoyed the mini crab cake appetizer - mmmm. Service is always friendly, knowledgeable, and speedy. You won't regret enjoying a meal at Seafood Atlantic!“
