“Restaurant has a great concept. The chef needs to QC the food sending out on garnish. Had a unique fish Sheepshead and was awesome, but the garnish was cold. Sent back and came back cold again. Servers work there butts off trying to keep up. Don't need to worry about food being run not 100%. Normally wouldn't care so much, but the prices are higher than most and warrant perfect results.“

“Food was Hot and good and several seafood options! Excellent Service!“

“Amazing Wine Tasting dinner this evening at Luna Food & Wine in Cocoa Beach. The wine pairings were fabulous and spot on. Never would have thought of pairing a Chardonnay with a spicy crevette creole but it was perfect. Outstanding menu, perfect sized portions and wonderful pairings with wines from Midnight Cellars. Waiting for the next wine pairing dinner there. Chef Luca and LeeAnn are such wonderful hosts and make their guest feel like family.“

“Pompano Grill is an incredible restaurant. The food, service and overall experience is first class all the way!! I personally think it is the best restaurant in Brevard County.“

“We like the food here, and know the menu without even seeing it. we really go here because of the views. You can see the cruise ships departing and arriving from Port Canaveral. Some of them even dock right next to the Grills deck. Very fun location but gets crowded very fast. You can also see rocket launches from this location.“

“The manager connects the dots quietly and makes it work. Taylor warmly welcomes us always. Just lost Earnie to Orlando BFG. We adopted him years back. Vaughn and Adam are like family. We look forward to the staff almost as much as the food. Wife loves the Sea Bass. Be sure to ask for Vaughn or Adam and all will go well.🙂“

“We love Goombay’s. From the first time we walked in, Goombay’s has been a friendly, welcoming business. The servers are very nice, efficient and fun. The food is delicious. The food and drink selection is the best. I love the customers. They’re friendly and outgoing. It’s always a good time. Mary is great. She’s a very kind lady. She not only values us as customers but has been very supportive of me as I’ve dealt with a health situation. She’s taken the time to sit with me, talk about her experiences, about my situation, offer options and totally support me during a difficult time. I can’t say enough positive things about her. I highly recommend Goombay’s for a great meal and good time!“
