Comfort Food Restaurants near Melbourne, FL

“The seating is beyond poor. Three parties waiting 4 open booths in the front...who knows how many in the back and it took 12 minutes to get sat“

“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 …“

“Love Cheddar's. Love their fresh prepared menu. The onion rings batter is wonderful. One of the few places that have a well made Monte Cristo sandwich. Their chicken tenders are the best of just about any chain restaurant - juicy white meat with their awesome crispy fried batter. Prices are good and the food is a good value. Be aware that they are a noisy eatery so not so good for autistic or other sound sensitive people. The service is always good to excellent depending on the sever. Sometimes you will get someone pretty new and so they are not totally on top of it but most of the servers are great. This is my go-to good food good service without a lot of hype or trendiness and they don't try to rob you.“
