    Our server was wonderful, so knowledgeable and attentive. The food was great. I got the early bird special, which was a great deal!

    A real true hidden gem! Parking can be a bit tricky but they have additional parking on the side of the business. I would consider making reservations before coming. The food is fresh n so good. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about signature dishes. For a group of 3 with appetizer, drinks and 3 entrees it was around $180. I had the pork chop and our app was the warm crab dip. I would also consider checking the weather before going, they don't have much shelter in the event it rains. Overall the ambiance is nice, you're able to walk down n hang out by the water

    6oz Filet Mignon w/house mash & Asparagus
    Jeannie C.

    Edible, but not pleasurable. It was our first visit and we were so looking forward to dinner there. The really great points were the ambiance and great service. The restaurant is located on the riverfront, which was beautiful. However, when you sit outside, the flies come when the food is served. They have fans at every outside table to deter them, but our fan and several others, were not working. Jadyn, our server, was wonderful. She was pleasant, friendly, and knowledgeable. The filet mignon was smothered with a peppercorn sauce that took away from the meat taste. The mashed potatoes were not hot, and the asparagus had no flavor. The Smashburger had just an ordinary taste and not something we would go back for. Our friends, however, did love their seafood platter. Perhaps they are better known for their seafood dishes. I always give a second chance, and will return to sample their seafood.

    Fish Dip

    A Masterclass in Waterfront Brunch I was looking for a great brunch spot on the water, and The Brevardian more than delivered. As someone who grew up on the water and close to New Orleans, I have a very high standard for seafood. This kitchen doesn't just meet the bar; they raise it. The Food House Smoked Fish Dip: This was a refreshing departure from the traditional "creamy mushy" dips. It was full of bright flavor and, most importantly, didn't drown the fish in mayo. Using the house-made kettle chips as a base was a great touch. Crab Cake Benedict: This dish was understated but incredible. The crab cakes were nearly all crab with very little filler--a rare find. I have to give a huge "Bravo" to the kitchen for not drowning the eggs in sauce; the remoulade was perfectly balanced and, honestly, better than my mother's! (Don't tell her!) Caramel Pecan Cheesecake: We finished with this for dessert. It was decadent, rich, and definitely a shareable portion. The Drinks My mother enjoyed the house Chardonnay, and I opted for their signature cocktail, "The Brevardian." It was impressively smooth and balanced. You didn't get a sharp hit of bitterness from the bourbon or an overbearing sweetness from the fruit; the flavors just meshed perfectly. The Verdict: Between the view of the Indian River and the "scratch-made" quality of every bite, this is easily one of the best spots in the area. If you value "Contemporary Old Florida" cuisine where the ingredients are the star, this is a must-visit. Shout out to our server Neil who was exceptional as well!

    Had an amazing time Saturday morning , Coconut shrimp and cocktails were great. We stayed for dinner as well . Bartender was knowledgeable and wine recommendation was on point! We are looking forward to our next visit

    Grouper Rockefeller
    Alessandro G.

    Another visit, another great dining experience at this cozy riverfront restaurant. The menu featured seasonal options, which we appreciated and ordered from. We ordered the Winter Scallops and the Grouper Rockefeller. Both dishes were top notch. Others at the table ordered the Mojo Seared Grouper and Grouper Risotto and loved them. Don't skip the House Smoked Fish Dip, it's the perfect starter. There was a small hiccup on an order at our table but it was quickly corrected.

    The service was outstanding! Our server was so knowledgeable and friendly, I would go back just because of him. Okay, the food was so very delicious, we would go just because of that. Combine the excellent service, the delicious food, and then if you have a party of four, make reservations and ask for table D11 and 12. Combine the food, service and pretty much your own private dining room, it is an experience to dine here. We will definitely be back.

    Brevardian Riverfront is a must visit! First off, the location is hard to beat. Sitting right on the Intracoastal, the views alone set the tone whether you're planning an elegant date night or just a casual evening out. It strikes that rare balance of feeling special without being stuffy. The menu delivers across the board. There's a strong focus on fresh seafood, but plenty of land-based options as well, so no one feels limited. Everything we tried was well-executed and flavorful. Inside, the space is eclectic in the best way. It's cozy, charming, and full of personality without feeling overdone. You can tell there was intention behind the design, and it adds to the overall experience. Outside is still cozy despite the open air ambiance. There's a two level patio area complete with an outdoor bar. Service was another highlight; friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely attentive without hovering. The staff made great recommendations and kept things running smoothly. The only reason this isn't a full five stars is the wait time for the food. There was a noticeable delay, and while the staff was upfront about a backed-up kitchen (which happens), it did interrupt the flow of the evening a bit. That said, everything else--from the atmosphere to the food quality--was spot on. Even with the delay, we left impressed and will absolutely come back

    Super nice riverfront location. Great views. Food is very upscale. The host and servers were fantastic. Started outside in the evening and there were a lot of mosquitos but got moved inside due to a table opening up. Inside is all updated and has a great atmosphere. Tasty drinks. Seafood chowder was very good. All the seafood was amazing. Ordered a steak which was cooked perfectly. This is a great romantic spot. Oysters were very fresh, highly recommend. Great experience and we will be back.

    This is the view from our table.

    The ambiance was great and the food was great! The service was outstanding too. I highly recommend the Brevardian for an enjoyable experience.

    OMG WOW! If I could give this place more stars I would and if I wasn't married for over 25 years I would marry this chef!!! Our waitstaff Taylor was amazing! They had an accessible table right on the patio overlooking the Indian river! They started us off with homemade seasoned chips and a smoked cream cheese dip (complimentary). My husband ordered a dozen oysters on the half shell to begin. We then ordered the salmon with the most incredible Gruyère grits I have ever had with my husband ordering the filet with scallops. He loves scallops and was thrilled they came with the filet as usually it is paired with shrimp. The ambiance was a cool evening with low lighting on the table and a great atmosphere of soft music in the background. Gorgeous October night to be out having an amazing dinner on the river. Great food, great location, and great service! Thank you!!!

    Shrimp and Grits
    Ashley W.

    This was my second time visiting Brevardian Riverfront, and my first time coming for brunch -- and it did not disappoint. I ordered the shrimp and grits along with a lavender lemonade, and everything was delicious and well-balanced. The shrimp and grits were flavorful and comforting, and the lavender lemonade was refreshing without being overpowering. The riverfront views were absolutely spectacular and made for the perfect Sunday brunch setting. Despite it being a busy brunch with friends, the service was attentive and friendly. Brevardian continues to be a great spot for good food, great views, and a relaxed but elevated experience. I'll definitely be back again.

    Grouper Risotto

    Wonderful Lakeside Spot With Amazing Food & Service Such a great place right on the water. If you want to sit outside, definitely make a reservation, but the inside is so cute and charming that you won't feel like you're missing out either. The service was beyond wonderful--friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. The food was amazing. We had the grouper prepared two different ways, the crab cakes, and the coconut shrimp, and every single dish was delicious. Fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. This is one of those spots you immediately add to your "must return" list. Highly recommend, and we will absolutely eat here again.

    What does an entree come with?

    It's an a la carte menu, so it doesn't come with a side salad or soup. Each entree is its own composed plate as described on the menu. They have great sides to choose from that are separately priced. Hope this helps!

Really delish and it has just the right amount of Cole slaw on it. The sauce on top was great too. We also had the snapper sandwich (fish #2). Delish. We had it blackened and it was perfect. A nice soft bun and a boom, great sandwich. Sorry, we forgot to take pictures. The not a winner was the oysters Rockefeller. Not great. Even the manager was like, we will take that off the bill. So don't order those. Bummer, they looked good. Our server, Summer, was awesome. She was on top of everything with a smile. Good job. The problem we had was the speed at which things came out. But we only rate (stats) the food and that was a solid 4-stars. The place is so clean too. And we loved the atmosphere. All in all we will be back. Need more of those fish tacos! Thanks.

The seafood gumbo was delicious as was the she crab soup not shown. The blackened fish tacos were very good as was the grilled fish special of the day. There was also a crab cake sandwich not shown that I was told was good. . The Ahi Tuna BLT in my opinion was the best meal of the evening. So good with the crispy bacon, fresh perfectly cooked Ahi tuna and seasoned just right. I would order this again and again. The homemade key lime pie I was also told was good but the fresh chocolate chips were spot on. I just wished they would have come out a little warmer but that's my way of eating them not everyone's. Service was super friendly. Great looking happy hour with discounted menu including some drinks. If I lived here this place would be my regular stop. Needless to say I will be back on my next visit.

Busy, but not too crowded, bartender was excellent. Started off with a vodka martini (was going to order oysters). Ordered the beet salad to start and it was huge. Roasted beets, tomatoes, and blue cheese w/frisee lettuce was very good. Next appetizer was the fried green tomatoes. Huge, crispy and lots of them. Crab meat and remoulade on top was just right. They had imported oysters from New England (Wellfleet) so ordered a 1/2 dozen to go with my martini. Excellent presentation and taste. Next was the peel and eat shrimp. Big and not overcooked. The cocktail sauce was good, with lots of horseradish. On top of all the good food was the atmosphere. More like a resort than a restaurant. Great view of the river.
