Don't sit inside. The acoustics are horrible. You can hardly hear the people at your table. They need to put rugs or something on the ceiling. My food came in a little bowl and it was hard to eat because it was overflowing. It was good though. The outside eating area looks amazing, but it was too hot outside today and there seemed to be a lot of flies in the area.

This was our 3rd visit here. On our last visit, we decided to check out the brunch with a party of 8. Had a very bad experience but the manager was kind enough to give us 3 free appetizer cards. Today we came back to give the restaurant another chance. Our server, Brittany, was absolutely amazing. Very personable and funny. Our first round of apps were great, conch fritters and calamari. Ordered the fried shrimp, and shrimp came out raw. They remade it, but it was still undercooked. When getting our bill, the manager, Melissa, came out and told us that we could only use 1 free appetizer card per visit- which is not written on the card and was not told to us when we were given the card. She allowed us to use a 2nd one when we told her about the raw shrimp on today’s visit, but said “in fairness of the restaurant you cannot use all 3.” Mind you, we had ordered 5 drinks and it wasn’t as if we came in only for the free apps.

We will never be returning to this restaurant. A restaurant would be nothing without its customers. We came back to give this place another chance after an unpleasant experience with family, but sadly they care more about the money than happy, returning customers. It’s too bad because it is one of the few places in Brevard to come by boat.

The ambience is so nice, we go there for date nights, love it, the water view with the sunset is magical every time! Sushi is amazing!!!

Excellent experience with the family. The location is beautiful and the service was excellent. Love that they have a sushi bar and they actually fillet fish right there. Drinks were excellent as well. Overall, this place is wonderful.

This was my second visit to the restaurant, and it may very well be my last. While the views of the sunset were indeed stunning, the quality of the food did not meet expectations. I chose the coconut-crusted grouper, which was overly fried and tough, and unfortunately, I also found a long hair in the dish. The accompanying sweet potato fries were lukewarm and lacked flavor.

My son ordered the wagyu burger topped with a fried egg, but it was greasy and bland. The egg was overcooked, and the fries were also cold upon serving. Additionally, the drinks seemed diluted, leaving us feeling unsatisfied. Given the prices at this establishment, I anticipated a higher quality meal. Unless there are significant improvements made to the menu, I am unlikely to return.

Macadamia and coconut encrusted Grouper is amazing. Outside seating was available and we enjoyed eating riverside with the pups.

Lovely Sunday brunch. Pretty views. Great atmosphere! Brunch is a bargain for the food quality and $5 mimosas!

Beautiful location with fantastic view. BUT unfortunately untrained staff with lack of customer service experience. Zero willingness to solve problems or desire to help. Across the board from the manager to host and waiters extremely unprofessional. It ruined the experience for our party celebrating an event.

The outdoor space is beautiful. Plenty of seating options, some covered and some not for whatever your preference is. Food was delicious and the drinks as well!

Absolutely beautiful setting outside on water, umbrellas on outdoor tables for shade, or inside dining available. Food was good, as was service. Liked this restaurant better than others in the area, wished we had one in Naples, FL.

I really enjoyed dinner at FRIGATES. It was a hot Sunday afternoon. We chose to sit outside. If it wasn't for the large outdoor fan blowing right on us it would have been unbearable. The food was amazing but pricey. We had no room for dessert. I was so happy to find an elevator because I could not have climbed up those stairs.
