Seaside Florida Grill

Crab cakes were very thin and didn't have much flavor. Unfortunately, there was no discernible crab meat chunks in them.And they were fried too long.And the breading got burned.

We tried this restaurant when they first opened and weren’t blown away. So glad we tried it again! The food we had was fantastic and the menu has evolved and become more balanced, though still plenty of seafood. Glad they added steaks. We’ll visit again soon

Fine dining? For the Space Coast, yes. This is a very good seafood (along with a few dishes from the land) restaurant in a very bizarre duplex with a realtors office. Every dish we tried (most of the seafood side of the menu) was excellent. Indoor bar, booth, and table seating, as well as a simple outside patio (but on the wrong side of A1A for a view). Pricier than many seafood restaurants, but in this case you get what you pay for!

The good: Nice decor, clean, plenty of parking. The bad: dead quiet, boring, hardly anyone there on a Saturday night, appetizers were terrible, the coconut shrimp were watery and undercooked inside, the shrimp inside the breading were TINY. The bisque was just meh. Our party of 4 decided to pay up and go somewhere else for dinner. I was so hoping it would have improved since it first opened, but not. They need a better menu, some nightly specials, a real chef, and some music or it will never make it.

Don't let it fool you when there aren't a lot of people in the parking lot. the food is good, service is great. Someone really needs to market them so you will know they are there!

We thought the restaurant was closed because there were so few cars in the parking lot. I’m surprised this isn’t a bustling, wait-for-a-table business. The food was delicious. The service was impeccable. And the prices were reasonable. I would definitely return.

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.

Very nice atmosphere and great food. Service was very good.

Stopped in for a late afternoon 'lunner' before heading off for National Tequila Day fun ... so ~4:30 on an off-season Thursday.

No problem with parking or seating, only one other table was at the restaurant. Single server working both tables, no issues with service. Clean and well lit.

Appetizers. Key Lime Sea Scallops. Scallops were good sized, and cooked correctly. I was a little disappointed that the Key Lime butter sauce didn't have quite as much lime flavor as expected - covered up a bit by a black pepper flavor. Coconut Mango Shrimp were snappy, not too much batter, and new to us, the coconut flavor (ground up? some kinda powder) was in the batter, not 'pointy' slivers of coconut.

Main courses. Lobster Fettuccini. The pasta was cooked correctly. Four small claws, didn’t think there was any tail meat. Cheddar cheese sauce could have used a little more butter (we added butter to our left over portion at home/lunch the next day it was just right). Shrimp and scallops. Like the appetizers, the shrimp and scallops were good size and cooked correctly. Very good flavor, but again, the sauce was a little peppery and hid the Key Lime flavor.

Certainly worth a stop.

They have a chicken fettuccine on the menu and I ordered it but without chicken because I’m vegetarian. I think some places are very flexible and will only give you the fettuccine and charge less, but still fair price. Not this place. She brought the chicken on a separate plate (???).
Also, when I ordered the fettuccine, she straight asked if I wanted the house salad or Caesar - as if it was included. And it was not. They charged us over it and never let us know it wasn’t included.
I will never go back there - specially cause the food was not good. I’m pretty sure they did not add salt to my fettuccine.

We had the fresh lobster pasta. It was amazing! Love the atmosphere the service the olive oil and bread topped off a delicious meal… the salad super fresh! Definitely recommend and will be back!!

Amazing experience. Every coarse was executed to perfection. I highly recommend that scallop appetizer, grouper was delicious, and the chocolate cake for desert ( the orange slices are not garnish! Eaten after bites of cake elevates the flavor to an entire new level of pleasure!). Our server was a beautiful blond with a pretty name like Calista ( I'm terrible with names). She was timely and attentive and made our evening perfect. So greatful to discover this place!

⭐️⭐️ Disappointing Overall Experience

I attended this restaurant for a birthday dinner tonight and just got home feeling underwhelmed. The food was adequate at best, but very inconsistent across our group.

I split the crab cake appetizer with my sister-in-law, and we actually enjoyed it—but oddly enough, others at the table who ordered it as an entrée received a completely different version. Their crab cakes were mushy, unappetizing, and one person didn’t eat theirs at all.

I ordered the grouper, which looked and tasted like a frozen filet—not fresh at all. Honestly, I’ve had better fish from the seafood section at Publix. Two others in our group ordered the surf and turf—one rare, one medium rare—but both steaks were extremely overcooked (closer to well-done), and the shrimp tasted undercooked. Nearly every dish was overpowered by salt.

Drinks were a letdown as well. I wouldn’t recommend ordering any of the cocktails off the menu—they tasted unbalanced and thrown together. It didn’t seem like an experienced bartender was working; instead, servers were making their own drinks, and it showed. On top of that, our server struggled to open a corked bottle of wine, repeatedly breaking the cork and leaving bits floating in our glasses. It felt like a basic skill that should have been handled with more care.

The wait time was long throughout. Even the complimentary bread took 30 minutes to arrive, and it was nothing special.

The biggest issue of the evening was our server. I didn’t catch her name, but she wasn’t friendly or attentive. She messed up our checks, and when we pointed out a mistake, she told us four separate times that she’d have to pay for it herself. That kind of guilt-tripping is unprofessional and makes the guest feel uncomfortable.

Overall, I wouldn’t return and wouldn’t recommend this place. Between the inconsistent food, poor service, and mishandled drinks, there are much better options nearby.
