Wasn't impressed with the food it was so so and it memorable at all. In fact it was barely warm it was chicken and waffles had an over bearing vinegar taste but was spicy which was a the best part of it. The butter for the waffle would t even melt if that tells you anything. Service was good and he was on point. No we didn't send the food back as we chose to eat it but we did let them know which they offered to fix but we passed. Coffee was good and strong when my buddy's wife asked for sweet tea only had unsweetened tea which he did offer to bring sweetener what restaurant in the south don't have sweet tea lol. The view was great overlooking the intercostal. A little disappointed as we had seen the reviews on Yelp and FB probably won't try it again but anything is possible read more

What a treat! 4 of us dined inside and everyone was delighted. We had steak dishes, the seafood chowder and wonderful cornbread crab cakes. Service from Shannon was excellent as well. The good came quickly and it was a full restaurant. Five star food and service! read more

When the weather in Brevard is a postcard-perfect day, there's no better spot to dine outdoors than The Brevardian. They have mastered the art of combining stunning views with an inventive menu that pays homage to local flavors. But fair warning: if you ask for ketchup, prepare for an elegant "we don't do that here" side-eye. Honestly, you won't miss it, but I have poor taste and will for sure Crab Cakes appetizer, are enough to be a meal and can only be described as a masterpiece of crispy golden edges and buttery crab perfection. The Brevardian Fried Chicken was beautifully pickle-brined and fried to juicy, tangy perfection, served alongside creamy mac, assorted house pickles, and their FI BBQ and house ranch sauces. It's the ultimate comfort food reinvented. The crush seems kinda salty but overwhelmingly flavorful and wonderful. What an incredible invention of Coffee + Brown Sugar Salmon: it was perfectly seared, the salmon sat atop silky Gruyère grits, accompanied by charred tomato and chicken skin butter that made each bite a flavor explosion. The three Seasonal Scallops seared to golden perfection and nestled in a bed of butternut brown butter grits. The fried sage and bacon hash added just the right touch of autumnal decadence, while grilled bread begged to soak up every drop of sauce. And if you can't decide (because really, everything is tempting), the Taste of Brevardian is your ticket to sampling a variety of local favorites. The outdoor seating fills up fast on wonderful nights, so make reservations, or you might be left gazing longingly at the diners already enjoying the best seats in town. But trust me, once you've had a bite of that fried chicken or a spoonful of those grits, the wait will be worth it. read more

Beautiful setting for restaurant on the water. The service and the food was outstanding. Everything was fresh and the flavors did not disappoint. My compliments to the Chef! read more

A+ can't wait to go back From the jump, there is plenty of parking. You will have a short walk to the host and the driveway is rocks so I would say heels are not the best choice. Also, it can get windy so be aware of that for outfit choice. The outdoor seating is right on the water and reservations are heavily recommended.They do have indoor seating and bar seating as well but again, call ahead. It is a quaint spot, but that's the charm! THE FOOD IS AMAZING. My family all passed our dishes around and everything was outstanding. Something that erks me is not having hot food, and these entrees came out sooooo hot a fresh. Ugh. The SALMON! Ps-The dishes are made exactly how the chef wants you to experience it, so just go with it! It's a culinary experience! AND DO NOT SKIP DESERT! Drinks are FLAWLESS! Even if you don't know what you want, Nick is there to pair your dinner with the most perfect craft cocktail and everything is made in house. They have fun seasonal cocktails which are always changing too! The ambiance is romantic and quiet. especially when it gets dark! You'll hear the waves and wind & that's about it! It's a great place for conversation and enjoying company. After being in Brevard for a year, coming from Los Angeles, I was convinced I would never have good food again. There are lots of misses in this town... but I'd you haven't been to The Brevardian... you're just missing out! read more

Brevardian Riverfront - Grouper with Beet Risotto - Seafood Near Me - Melbourne, Florida

Craft cocktails. I had the Bees Knees which was gin, cucumber and a honey simple syrup. It was light, mildly sweet and dangerously delicious! For entree, I ordered the special, locally and fresh caught spiny lobster. The service was very good, but it's the table overlooking the water that makes this place a gem. Parking is the only challenge. You need reservations for this place. Would love to go again! read more

Of course the view is great-- and our servers (we had a few due to shift change and other reasons) were upbeat, polite and considerate. The food was decent --but we waited nearly One Hour for food to come out-- and one order was incorrect re: stated preferences. Please note that this was late afternoon Sunday and the place was not overly busy at all. The ladies' room was fine. However... the place overall has no real atmosphere -except for view. It's surprisingly dingy and outdated throughout. Ex: When you walk in the entrance, a beat up wooden box is there with items stuffed into the open back of it. And no one is standing there. It's not a great "Welcome" vibe. So.. pros and cons. Not sure I'll go back. read more

This rustic little place is scenically located on the Indian river. The view is amazing, even from points in the dining room. The curb appeal is really lacking. After being seated we were waited on by a young g lady that seemed u sure of herself. When asked about the menu, she did not have any real knowledge about the dishes. A gentleman who worked there gave us his recommendations. We ordered the seared grouper and the garden pasta. The dishes were well presented and very flavorful. The grouper was perfectly cooked. The brown drizzle on the plate was a little strange looking and did not add to the overall flavor of the dish. Service was good. Not phenomenal. It has all the makings of a fantastic spot, but could use a little sparkle. read more

My girlfriends and I went out for lunch, I save all month to have a new, fun, experience, and I have mixed feelings about our visit. I had looked on your app to see the menu, and my heart was set on scallops. There were a few choices of types, however I didn't care which type, I just wanted scallops. I also had my hopes of key lime cheesecake, and I was so excited to enjoy every bite. Hmmmm... No scallops? Hmmmmm No cheesecake until after 3:00? Very disappointed to not get either of my choices I saw on their menu. I got the grouper dish, and it came withs Cesar salad, both were delicious!!!! My friends weren't super happy with the tacos either, and the chairs were Old and needed new cushions. I hope these items are fixed soon, I would like to try the dinner special they advertised, I hope that will be valid when I get there. read more

Best crab cake I've ever had!!! Go taste for yourself!!! Awesome view and good cocktails!

what an absolute disaster of an experience. we made reservations for 7pm for a special occasion, and got sat fairly fast. We waited for probably 20 minutes at our table before we even got acknowledged and it was the host to take our drink orders because our waitress was IMA. We put in drinks and a couple apps and no one came to our table for another hour. no food nothing has arrived. And finally! Our waitress finally shows up only to tell us (and the other 3 surrounding tables that also haven't gotten service yet) that the food we have been waiting for an HOUR is sold out and they are out of all seafood dishes! What an absolute waste of time and soil to a nice night. I will never attempt to dine here again. read more

Amazing Food Amazing Service. This place is a diamond in the rough. I can't rave enough about our food. The chef was amazing.

Wonderful food...great ambience...sensational service. You will smile. Nothing more to say.

Amazing! Great views and food is delicious! Good to see this quality restaurant in this part of town. Our server Lisa was top notch! Highly recommend this restaurant, good food, nice views, and excellent service. read more

Beautiful views. The skillet was great, the potatoes were cooked perfectly. The biscuit was kindof dry. The french toast was dense so it was hard to cut or chew. But the berries and pudding toppings were good. The eggs were cooked perfectly. Waiters were great! Very pretty place read more

The ambiance was great as was our waitress who was very well versed on the items on the menu. We were a group of ten that included 2 children. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered and we all had a relaxing and happy meal. read more

Great food and service , but if you are handicapped, use a cane, wheelchair or scooter be aware there is no handicapped parking or front entry. There is only a dimly li, sloping dirt area leading down to the outdoor seating area - no paved walkway. At that point there is a LONG circling ramp to the inside dining area, but where we were seated was two steps down with no railing or caution warning. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 1 in 4 adults in the United States (or 28.7 percent) have some type of disability. That means accessibility isn't a special feature; it's a fundamental part of good service. read more

I'm already looking forward to my next visit to explore more of the menu! I went when they were still fairly new, so I'm excited to see how they've grown. The location is stunning--even a little rain couldn't dampen the experience. The staff was warm and accommodating, and their craft drinks were truly exceptional. A must-visit spot. Perfect for a girls outing! read more

Food was very nice!! View was beautiful of the water on the deck, gorgeous restaurant. Service was okay

We have been eagerly awaiting the opening of this restaurant. The build up of anticipation did not disappoint. The meals were delicious, and the drinks were amazing! When we ordered the dessert sampler it was delivered along with a visit from the pastry chef herself. She explained what each sample was. The desserts were incredible. We sat in the covered bar area & the view & was one of the best of any restaurant we have in Brevard. This is a great place for families, date nights or just to enjoy a meal and unwind with the beautiful views. We'll definitely be back! read more

Run don't walk to this adorable date night restaurant with a view in Melbourne!! The food was amazing from the appetizers to the desert. First I have to tell you the menus are seasonal and they switch it up. So if you don't run and you walk to this restaurant the menu could possibly be different. Just depends on how fast you walk. Have you ever heard of cornbread Crabcakes? Me neither!! These were delicious and huge like literally the size of hamburgers and you got two as the appetizer. They were full of chunks of crab with a a little sweet cornbread to tease your tastebuds. Literally 90% crab 10% cornbread. AMAZING!! Next we ordered the lobster thermidor(had to check the spelling on that one) it was a beautifully plated entree with mushroom risotto with lobster claw meat hidden in the glorious risotto. Then a generous size lobster tail cut into medallions on top of the mushroom risotto with an amazing sauce. Served with Parmesan grilled asparagus ... yummy!! My husband had the chorizo crusted red snapper on top of a poblano pepper risotto served with broccolini which he asked me how do they do that?? How did they make that broccolini taste that good?? I could not finish my meal as the my portion of the crab cake appetizer was a meal in itself. We finished the dinner off with a ... orange blossom creme brûlée... dude...what???? They have an onsite pastry chef. I have never even heard of Orange blossom creme brûlée. Let me tell you next level!!! It had homemade strawberry preserves on the bottom, the orange bliss, followed up with the traditional burnt sugar. I will dream about that dessert for days. Now the restaurant yall is adorable. The building dates back to the 1900s when it was an automotive repair shop/ drug store. Then it was a family home then it turned into a restaurant. It was so cute inside. All hodge podge due to the layout of the house. It was decorated so elegant, unique and intimant. We actually ate outside along with a beautiful view of the river. I told my husband he had to go Inside to see it because it was adorable. It's interesting because you enter the restaurant thru the back. Basically the back yard through the back porch of the old home. I'm telling you this place is a must. Is it a drive Yes, is it pricey yes, is it worth it definitely, is it a great date night, anniversary, birthday, celebration restaurant absolutely!!! We will be back and I'm not waiting for a celebration almost forgot the food was served on your grandmas China ... beautiful!! read more

The restaurant was out of three items we tried to order and we came at opening. It was a Sunday evening. The waiter said they had a busy weekend. Crab cakes tasted mostly like corn bread. All our food was room temperature at best. Never offered water. The ambiance is nice. Would not return as the quality of the food is subpar. read more

Great food, great service and loved the evening dining on the outside deck! We had a board with steak, risotto and seasonal vegetable medley and then added the Mac and cheese. Everything was outstanding. Cocktails were well made and tasted very good as well. read more

We arrived at 9:28 PM on Saturday, our excitement palpable as we approached the venue for the first time. The outside sign boldly advertised a closing time of 11:00 PM, but our hopes were swiftly crushed when we were turned away by a young man with long, golden hair. He casually informed us they were closing early due to weather--a baffling excuse, considering it wasn't raining and there were plenty of seats available inside. Looking around, we saw other patrons comfortably enjoying their meals while numerous tables remained empty. The stark contrast between our eager anticipation and the abrupt dismissal was jarring. The unwelcoming atmosphere left a bitter taste in our mouths, extinguishing any desire to return. What should have been a delightful experience became a disheartening reminder of how quickly excitement can turn to disappointment. If I could leave less than 1 star, I would. I believe etiquette is most important and this mark was greatly missed. read more

Mother's Day dinner was superb. We opted to eat indoors because the weather was iffy. Quaint decor that reminds you of your grandmother's house, right down to the vintage dishes and cocktail glasses. Food was amazing. We had the mussels appetizer, salmon, duck breast and triple tail fish. Service was prompt. Too full to experience dessert. Wonderful experience. read more

We had heard mostly mid reviews of this place but are so mad at ourselves for not checking it out for ourselves sooner bc it was delicious! The warm peel & est shrimp were gigantic and a large portion for $18. All the salad dressings are made in house including the Caesar that they are smoking their anchovies for. The chorizo crusted snapper was delicious and again priced very reasonably considering portion and preparation. We happen to be eyeing the scallops and mussels appetizers and someone near our table ordered them so we got to see them coming out of the kitchen and they look incredible. We got lucky with a nice breezy lunch bc of an approaching afternoon storm. Such a nice treat in the middle of summer. View was a nice bonus. Service was warm and attentive. We will definitely be returning, probably with our kids so we can try more things lol. Highly recommend! read more

Brevardian Riverfront - Chorizo snapper - Seafood Near Me - Melbourne, Florida

Our first experience at Brevardian Riverfront was delicious. As a native Floridian, who loves seafood and fresh vegetables, I was excited to see they offer seasonal menu items. I chose the crabcakes and Brevardian Sideboard. I appreciate their elegant twist on true southern fare. Both dishes were a perfect blend of traditional flavors and modern culinary techniques, offering a unique and delightful dining experience. The ambience and setting were peaceful and calm, providing an ideal environment to share intimate experiences with my husband and family. Service was attentive, personable, responsive, and prompt . Whether it's for a special occasion or a quiet evening out, Brevardian Riverfront is a wonderful choice. We will return for sure. Highly recommended! read more

Parking the car and looking at the tropical landscape made me so excited to what will be around the corner on the water. Had to go to the bar to get seated. They said sit wherever you want. Beautiful atmosphere outdoor on the water with dolphins playing in the water and soft &low music playing. Pinch me! The waitress very friendly and knowledgeable. We Put in our drink order and appetizer. Loved that they have Bart's root beer,lavender lemonade and brought a pitcher of ice tea love that. Ordered oysters and they came from Sebastian. Wow! Clean, good size and homemade smoked tomatoes relishes on the side. Delicious! House freshly caught smoked fish blended with spices, jerk, mayo,lime and home made kettle chips assorted fresh and pickled veggies. So refreshing to take simple cooking styles and blend with Caribbean spices with an American beachy flare. Phenomenal. You will feel like you went on vacation. read more

I'll start by saying the 4th star is strictly for the cocktails. I want this lovely restaurant to succeed. We visited about a week ago, large party and ready to try the entire cocktail menu. Out of 8 different entrée's I'd say 2 weren't the best, the sword fish was wonderful but the risotto underneath had zero flavor it made the entire meal underwhelming, The chicken and mac & cheese was soggy. The steaks were wonderfully seasoned and perfectly cooked however, adding some vegetables wouldn't hurt. Service was odd, almost to the point they seemed uncomfortable, which made them extremely chatty. The group of us does not get together often, so having an entire conversation every time the service came was a bit much. Now I understand there is a fine line between good service and bad service but 75% of our visit was the waitress talking to us and rambling. The cocktails were very well-made and all delicious. We were prepared to try the entire menu unfortunately that did not happen. as-soon as our plates were picked up, our checks were put in front of us. What makes me want to give three stars is the amount of flies, I'm no stranger to eating outside in Florida. I highly recommend on days that do not have a breeze. Some fans get put installed outside on your patio not only will this help with the flies, but it will also make your outside more comfortable the use of the small reflective table fans just was not cutting it, especially when there's not enough to fill your entire patio, which was the case. With all of that being said, I'll give them a couple more months and try it again. Maybe stop at the bar in between. read more

This newly remodeled and reimagined restaurant has plenty to offer a true Epicurean. It's quite hot on the outside deck in July but still worth a visit. Located on The River in Melbourne it provides a great view. We stopped in hopes of hearing some live music ( which may come eventually). Hubster had a local beer and I had a Hendricks G&T before I spied Smoke and Mirrors on the menu. We ordered the fish dip ( a Sunday special) and it was light and flavorful, served w house made chips and crunchy toast. Look forward to dinner here soon! read more
