Great food. Highly recommend. Definitely worth the drive for us. Waitress especially on point. Very nice atmosphere. We sat on the patio. Chairs a little uncomfortable outside. But overall great experience

Service was a little slow starting. Lots of fried food. Good flavor. Cute place, but nothing extra special.

Food here was excellent! It was the best food we had in Melbourne. There was a large selection and service was great. Would recommend!

Ate here with extended family for Easter weekend. Great meal with delicious food and service. Our primary server and the others we interacted with were super friendly, kind and personable. Food was prepared perfectly, fresh and served quickly. Greatly enjoyed our experience and will return on our next visit to Melbourne/Sebastian area.

We enjoyed a great fish dinner at the New England Eatery last night. It was a very good choice, just like being at home, but in Melbourne Beach, Florida. Sea Scallops were the best, cooked perfectly, sweet and delicious. Everything New England style here. Come and join the crowd for the delicious fish dinner you’ve been looking for.

I am from Maine and this place holds up! Lol seriously though, we had an absolutely Incredible lobster roll, really great, fresh fried seafood, big portions and great service… Wicked kitschy decor, we loved it!!
We went for dinner tonight with our family that was here on break. They own a place in Indian landing but are only here a few times a year. We are here 6 months and visit New England Eatery a few times a month and have brought a lot of friends there. Tonight we found out that if you order a drink and it isn't right you are still charged for it and it's on the waitress or waiter to pay for it. Our family has been in the service business for over 50 years and this is the first time that something like this has ever came up. I get that there are people out there always trying to get something free we are not those people because we have been in there. We never send anything back that isn't perfect because that's the way it is sometimes. I just think that if your a family owned business that your reputation would be more valuable than a $12 drink.

Very pleasant and efficient servers. The New England clam chowder was excellent, as was the lobster roll. I had the broiled half and half to avoid any gluten issues, and it was decent although bland. Would have benefited from some seasoning. The Cole slaw was good and the French fries were hot, which is not the case at many restaurants. Decor is fun, with an outdoor patio -- somewhat misnamed because it is covered on all sides with a roof and louvered walls -- that includes seating and a bar. The indoor space includes a much larger bar and a large dining room. Because of the varied seating options, this is definitely someplace you can come if you're out for drinks and a bite to eat or heading back from the nearby beaches.

The food was good- we had no complaints. We came on a Friday 1.5 hours before they closed. We waited about 15 minutes to be seated. The service was not good. We waited 30 minutes to place our order. It was very disappointing because the food was very good, but the service put a damper on our experience.
