“Red Ginger is one of our best Chinese food places to go. Friendly staff, the food is always fresh and cook ro perfection. The restaurant is clean and nice white table cloth.
We recommend this place to everyone who wants to eat good Chinese food.“

“For my 21rst my boyfriend and I had gone and sat at the bar, the vibe of the place was amazing, good music and fun people! Atmosphere is good energy and nothing less. Our bartender (Trudy) was phenomenal, her energy definitely had a huge positive impact for everyone at the bar, even those not in our party were awesome and friendly towards us. I would 100% recommend for people looking for some good drinks and an even better time!“

“We happened upon the Landing Rooftop by chance - searching for a late night dinner in downtown Melbourne. All we can say is WOW! Quite possibly one of the best meals we’ve had in the 321 area. We started with the Charred Octopus and Crab-cake appetizers. The charred octopus is delicious - completely new preparation than we’ve ever had. Perhaps lightly fried (and I mean very lightly and not breaded) and then sautéed. (Just a guess) - but it seals in the flavor perfectly. It is served over house made hummus which was rich and thick with delicious olives and caper berries (yum!). The crab cake is a large crab cake oozing large chunks of lump crab and little filler - the chayote slaw, sauce and crab cake created a perfect balanced bite. We then shared the Grouper - and this was our favorite. My husband fishes and insists on the Grouper wherever we dine. This one is hands down favorite! The fish is fresh and lightly sautéed /pan seared to a perfect flake. It’s served on top of a lemon orzo - the citrus flavor showcases the fish. The side was my actual favorite - braised fennel! I had never had a whole bulb of fennel but the flavor was delicious. I will be craving this until we dine again. We were able to interact with the restaurant manager (given the late hour he was assisting his team) - truly an engaging personable delight of a human. A great face of the restaurant. Also met the executive chef - Chef Alexis V Martinez. His resume speaks for itself (on top of being classically French trained - and alumnus of the CIA). This should be a restaurant destination - not only for hotel guests but the 321 area in general. The bar area was quite lively yet refined - and the drink menu appeared delicious . We look forward to our next visit …“

“Melbourne Beach local Dive Bar. Cheap Drinks.“

“Great music and a welcoming atmosphere.“

“We had a great time here. It's a little tricky to find. Google maps brings you to a large parking lot with no sight of the restaurant. You are basically behind the restaurant with no signage. Just walk between the buildings towards the marina and it becomes visible on your left within 40 yards. It was a Saturday afternoon and they were packed. It's a very casual, lively place. Noisy in a good way, allowing normal conversation without yelling. We ordered fish tacos, Chilean sea bass, and the grouper. All were fresh and tasty, satisfying our hunger from 4 hours on Melbourne Beach.“

“First time there today. We would give this a big 5 stars! Absolutely excellent!“

“My wife and I went out for a quick dinner and stopped in to Seaside Florida Grill. We had a very early dinner like 515 so the restaurant was not crowded and to our surprise, we were pleasantly surprised with the quality of the appetizers, the soup and the main dish. We both had one of their specialty drinks as well as a martini and they were really well made with a lot of flavor. The key lime sea scallops were cooked to perfection and were at a good temperature. The lobster bisque was a big bowl which I ended up eating most of it, but didn’t know how large the portion was going to be so I only ate what I knew I could finish my main meal. I had the surf and turf and it was really tasty and my wife had the chipotle muscles. We will definitely be back and try to pick a time where the atmosphere is a little bit more lively. The server was also very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Didn’t wanna leave her out. She was great.“

“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“
