My first impression upon walking into this place was not a great one but i was quickly pleasantly surprised. The outside bar had a nice vibe and the drinks were strong. Once we were seated inside at our table out waitress was very attentive and accomodating. Â The food was good although we only had apps == the DJ was playing current songs and the overall experience turned out to be a great one!- Â good night of food , drinks and dancing! -cant go wrong
Review Source:I was a little disappointed as this was my first time in Melbourne or Florida period! Â This was the first restaurant my fiance and I tried out in the city. Unfortunately, it was not as good as we had hoped. Â The restaurant was quiet when we walked in, a couple of tables outside at the bar and maybe one or two inside. The server was a little less than thrilled to be there. He made it pretty apparent that service was not his forte, but I guess it's ok...
They had an interesting mix of food as it was not straight Italian or American... it had a mix of a bit of everything. My fiance had a gyro that came with fries and I had the Linguine with Clams. Â Since we were at the coast, I figured that the seafood shouldn't be bad. Â While we waited, we were asked if we wanted garlic bread and we said yes. The bread was a brick... as if it was made this morning, heated up for someone else, left out, and reheated again. When the food came out, the food was alright, seriously nothing to "write home about". But they did give you enough food for you to get stuffed on.
The server was SO enthusiastic about us being there (can you sense my sarcasm?) that he never really came around. What did come around though were flies. When my fiance used the restroom, he saw bigger ones coming from the kitchen area. Â Appetizing, right?
My suggestion, if you're in the area... I would pass it up...
Came here for dinner with my mom. The food was decent but the service was sooooo slooooooow. We ordered the Chicken Mezza Pasta and Fish & Chips. Both came with salad, and tasted fine. But, the waitress didn't bring out the bread until we were halfway done with our entrees. That was just weird. The bread should come out with the salad at least. And, we had to ask for basic items, like ketchup to go with the fries and more water. We shouldn't have to ask for ketchup....most waitresses automatically bring ketchup when someone has fries. And, if you see that our glasses are empty, bring more water. Â And, it wasn't even busy. There were only 3 tables with people that night. So, I don't understand where our waitress kept disappearing to. Needless to say, I will not be coming back to this restaurant. Bad service can overshadow decent food.
Review Source:Rated 2 Stars because I have experienced better. The remodeled restaurant is nice inside, light an airy, with a nautical theme. Â The deck area retains it's old look, but has some new faux-painted stepping stones on the concrete. There was a guitarist playing, but we just ordered drinks on the deck and headed inside. Patrons were a mix of all ages, which was nice to see. We dined with another couple and were seated under a ceiling fan. Â The large, tropical fan blades gave our table a nice strobe effect due to a nearby recessed light. Â It was not a pleasant atmosphere for eating, and we did not bother to change anything due to all the tables having the same effect. Â If you go, try to get a booth.
The food quality was not up to par, based on other reviews here, though it is a major step above what used to be served when it was The Cove. For the price, everyone in our party thought the serving sizes were minimal. Â The catch of the day was mahi, and it did not have any flavor. Â The yellow rice tasted institutional and didn't go well with the mixed vegetables that seemed fresh. No complaints about the shrimp scampi or scallops. Â We did not stay for the live entertainment that was available on a Friday night.
I might be tempted on returning to try one of their half-pound burgers, as they seem like a good value for the listed price.
This newly refurbished restaurant and venue brings back what I used to love about this place fifteen years ago, while updating both the menu and decor to modern times. The food has also had a makeover by bringing back one of the chefs who used to work here some years ago to be the head chef. Â I came for lunch so I had the fish and chips, served with a Caesar Salad, Â measuring up to what I have had in some amazing restaurants. There is also a fantastic deck with live music and TV's as well as an awesome back room with a dance floor for parties and events. This place comes highly recommended as a Satellite Beach favorite. Enjoy!
