The atmosphere was wonderful! We had Alyssa— who has the best personality!! She is one of few people who we really enjoyed talking to! Highly recommended!!“

“We visited recently for our anniversary, we love this place! We were warmly welcomed in, while our table was prepared. Getting to our table, we had a thoughtful card signed by the staff wishing us a happy anniversary as well. Our server, Doug, was simply amazing.We wanted to hang out with him all evening! He took amazing care of us, and made very thoughtful recommendations with his great knowledge of the menus. We had the onion tart for an appetizer and it was decadent paired well with some wine and a nice craft cocktail. Main courses of a heritage pork chop perfectly cooked, and my wife had some amazing fettuccini. The flourless chocolate cake for dessert was absolutely divine. The service and atmosphere were top notch. We will always make this one of our regular spots! Thank you for an amazing evening, and do whatever you can to keep Doug! He is an amazing person and has one of the best service mindsets I have experienced.“

“Was honestly shocked seeing a lot of 1 star reviews. My boyfriend and I came here for a late lunch and thought it was great. The bartender was working completely alone running food, bartending, and serving tables with a good amount of people here so I’m extremely impressed with the way she was able to take care of everyone without forgetting about us. Food was great no complaints at all and the muddled mission is a phenomenal cocktail! I love the way the bar is inside and outside at the same time with all the greenery, really cute“

“Excellent food. Great service.“

“Main Street Pub 705 E. New Haven Ave., Melbourne, FL 32901 5 Stars Located in Historic Downtown Melbourne, in a building dating back to at least 1947, Main Street Pub opened in 2005 and they don't appear to be leaving anytime soon. This is one of those places you pass a million times and never give it a second thought. I am so glad the name popped up for review, forcing me to stop. This place is truly a hole in the wall. But what a wonderful hole it is! The service manager explained that they slow roast a bottom round daily and slice to order. I requested for one Pub Bleu Sandwich, and to appease those readers who insist that you will live longer avoiding red meat, I ordered one Tuna Salad Sandwich and a Caesar salad. Waiting for my grub, I enjoyed the history of the building I was in. Locals tell of a watering hole here in the 1800s; the actual location of this tale is just behind their Tiki Bar. Seriously cool if you're a history geek. It wasn't long before my chow was ready and after snapping a few pictures, I proceeded to the job at hand. One bite of the Pub Bleu and I knew the service manager to speak true (there is a song in there somewhere). I have never had Bleu cheese this fresh outside of a salad and that roast beef? Holy Bessie on a Rotisserie spit! It was spectacular! The Kaiser roll was just as fresh and the accompanying Au jus was to die for. What a sammich!! Forcing myself to stop at two bites as I had a job to do, not a maw to cram, I grabbed half of the Tuna Salad and took a healthy bite. This is outstanding. If they didn't catch the tuna that morning, I don't know their secret, but this had to be the freshest, tastiest tuna salad I have ever had grace my palate. My final choice was the Caesar salad. This item, like everything else, was made to order. Not only was the dressing spot on but the croutons were made on-site, NOT from Sysco. These immediately took me back to high school and the salad bar in the Senior Cafe at Mel Hi. Remember those croutons? When I leave a place that knows they have done an excellent job, they always invite me back. I usually make some excuses about having to do so many reviews when there is no time; however, I will make an exception for this place. If I possessed the power of Advowson, I would point this cook the Head Chef of Melbourne pubs. The Big Boy says, "Give 'em a try. This food is great. I will be back.“

“Ok, look-Scott rocks!! This place has a flare to be reckoned with! Great food and a pepper shaker that could hurt someone! LOL
Every dish was amazing and made to order. The decor was colorful and had a cute date night ambiance! I believe Scott came to us from Rome and brought all his experience with him. I would stop by here today!!

Parking: Parking is tight but doable..“

“I am not sure if the base is the local community but from the other guests I was it sure looked and felt like it and it made a cozy atmosphere. My server was wonderful and the good was fresh and good.“

“Very casual vibe to the place. We sat at the bar. I was super excited to see Buzztime trivia. The servers were attentive yet not overly in your face. I got the buffalo wings and my goodness they were lit!🔥 The smoke flavor combined with the sauce was incredible. Yes, they actually smoke meat. Had a great chat with one of the owners, he was very personable and his excitement for what he’s doing was apparent. Husband really enjoyed the brisket pizza. The only downside is that it’s not closer to my house or this would be my local hangout. Recommended if in the area!“

“Nice dining experience. Nice bar area. Sara our server was great. There is something on the menu for everyone. We had the Ahi Tuna Pole Nachos, Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl and the Mongo Bowl (Mongolian Beef Poke bowl). The serving sizes were generous, very generous and they tasted deliciously incredible! We are house shopping in the area and this will become a fast favorite for sure! Thank you.“

“After wanting to try this place for years, I finally made it in. Dinner was good. Scallops were plump and cooked perfectly. After a good night's sleep, I was ready for their breakfast buffet. There isn't much more in life I love more than a good buffet, and this one was great for a hotel restaurant. $18.99 included coffee and a fairly decent spread. My favorite item by far were the croissants. Real and delicious! Compliments to the chef, Val! Service was also excellent for both meals. Jennifer was just great! Got me whatever I needed. A great conversationalist too, made me feel right at home dining by myself. The cooks and servers go above and beyond here. I can't wait to come back!“

“Urban Prime has been a go-to of mine for years, and it never disappoints. Through all its changes, the food, drinks, and service have stayed top-notch. Chef Kyle’s happy hour menu is a standout—the “Not-So-Little Butter Burger” and Brussels sprouts were the perfect match for my Old Fashioned (not smoked, but still hit all the right notes). The service here is exceptional. From the hostess to Adrienne behind the bar and Iman Elder on the floor, they made me feel genuinely welcomed—a nice touch since my friend had a genuine mix-up and couldn’t make it. Beyond the dining experience, I also appreciate Urban Prime’s philanthropic spirit. I had the pleasure of working with them during Jazoo and Safari Under the Stars (‘19-‘21), benefiting the Brevard Zoo, and again for The Scott Center for Autism (‘23), their commitment to community stood out then just as much as it does now. Great food, great vibes, and even better people. Urban Prime keeps me coming back! I am posting a visit from 2019 — their wine list by Dana Cona continues to be impressive!“

“We had a wonderful Anniversary dinner with a beautiful view of the river at the restaurant! We both ordered the Proscuitto scallop tagliatelle, and it was incredibly delicious! The portions were large, so there was almost half left over to take home. We just had try the aguave cheesecake, and it also was really yummy!😋Our server Delilah was perfectly attentive, and our meals came our very quickly! We will come back for sure. I want to try everything on the menu!“

“Remodel looks great , staff is amazing“

“I love Sonny’s I use to frequent that place… and am visiting and got to share a tasty meal with my soon to be Husband… his 1st time having it, he loved it!!!“

“Our experience at The Mansion in Melbourne, FL was exceptional. We were seated in a beautiful private room for our party of seven, which added a special touch to the evening. The ambiance was elegant and inviting, perfect for a memorable night out. Our server, Alex, went above and beyond—friendly, attentive, and incredibly accommodating. The food was not only delicious but also served in generous portions. From start to finish, everything was top-notch. Highly recommend for both the atmosphere and outstanding service!“

“I did not eat here. My friends and I stopped in to grab a drink and play pool. We had a blast. Staff was nice. My fave thing about this place is the adult vending machine in the back. There are so many options to choose from. Bathrooms were clean. No line to get in but we also went pretty early.“
