    Margarita
    David W.

    Modern, nice, upscale feel with friendly attentive bar staff. The food and margarita were both good. I enjoyed the Spicy Korean Fried Chicken with peanuts. I was there a little early for dinner and was one of only 6 people in the restaurant.

    Starting off by saying their 20 oz Wagyu is the absolute best steak I've had in the Space Coast and the best I've had in Florida. $140 may be intimidating to some, but it was worth every dollar. The service here is A+ top notch in the industry. They run their production almost as tight as The Bear on the TV Show, YES CHEF! The drinks are unique and poured well. They came out fast, great bartenders on both sides (lounge and restaurant). The food comes out like a production line up of a play...first was some amazing carrots and mozzarella sticks...both absolute stunners. Rolling in next was the outstanding blast of sweet potato tots. The glaze on these is an epic delight. The mountain of mushrooms came out looking good, the mini tacos looked amazing, and then KFC! We had two people in the party order this awesome plate of Korean Chicken, like some General Tso's style nice and spicy. Next out was the Asiago Noodle Pasta entree, it was a hit. Last but not least was that mouth watering beautiful slab of wagyu. Oh what a treat for us all. I was worried at first about this servers suggestion of "sharing everything is how the chef intends it" but the way they present, serve, and flow with the appetizers to meals fills EVERYONE up and was a wonderful surprise of so many different flavors. Two thumbs up to the crew Saturday night, y'all are some rock stars in the kitchen. Get your big boy wallet out, because this fine dining comes at a price that it deserves. $85 in drinks and $210 in food for my wife and I. The best meal we've had in Florida in the five years we've lived here.

    I got lucky on this rainy night and got a parking space right on the street. But I'm not sure where else you would park.

    Wow. What an amazing addition to Cocoa's Culinary scene! Well, perhaps the beginning of it. Lol. My family and I are in Cocoa from Orlando quite often and we have our regular roster of restaurants that we like to go to. But none of them could be considered fine dining or even "cool, foodie" restaurants. Coa Cocoa Beach is the first of that kind here. The second we walked in we were warmly greeted by "Fin", our server. Since it was a slower night, only he and one other server, who was also the bartender, were waiting on tables. Fin had several tables he was juggling ( I think they got busier than they had anticipated), but managed to do it with grace and ease and not only had our food and drinks out quickly and efficiently, but also managed to talk with us and make us feel heard and welcomed. He did this with each table. I've truly never seen a better server. Thank you, Fin, for such an amazing night! We started off with cocktails, and both were incredible. I had the "You are my Fire" and my wife had the "Goodnight moonlight". Mine had just the right amount of smoke- very little. Ha. As for the food, WOW. I started out with the Roasted wild mushrooms- I LOVE mushrooms- and they were amazing. For her entree, my wife had the Miso black cod and it just melted in your mouth. I had the Whole branzino special and it was sooo delicious. It had some peanut Thai type sauce on it which complemented it perfectly. For a side we had the Tempura Fried Artichokes, and I have to say that they were STUPID good. Just lightly fried and amazing. From the service to the cocktails, to the food, to the beautiful interior ( with cool ROPE (?) covered walls) COA was amazing. We'll be back!

    Mozzarella sticks: long rectangles covered in a panko potato mix. Crunchy and gooey. Paired with ranch and guachong sauce. 4 stars

    Fantastic upscale shared plates dinner with an Asian flair at the Backstreet Boys' and bro owned spot in Cocoa Beach. 4.5 stars Food 4.5 Atmosphere 4 Service 3 Cost to worth it rating: 3 (definitely spendier with shared plates ~$25-50) Opentableable: no, on Tock Return worthiness: yes Eve award: best shrimp cocktail Highlights: - Creativity: I've had fusion many times but the way this was done was thoughtful with excellent and unexpected additions. Sauces were off the chart delicious. - Ricotta toast: insanely thick and fluffy perfect pieces of bread topped with dollops of whipped ricotta and chili crisp. Crunchy, smooth, and a bit of spice. The appetizer I didn't know I needed in my life. 5 stars - Shrimp cocktail: probably the best I've had. 5 humongous shrimp perfectly cooked and chilled. Served with a Thai peanut satay sauce that was delectable. Didn't envision this combo and it worked so well. 5 stars - Lamp chips: 3 nice pieces my husband and friend enjoyed. 4.5 stars - Miso cod: solid version marinated as expected with 2 pieces plus bok choy. 4.5 stars - Umami fries: large plate of perfectly crispy curly fries with Japanese spices on top. 4 stars - Mozzarella sticks: long rectangles covered in a panko potato mix. Crunchy and gooey. Paired with ranch and guachong sauce. 4 stars - Artichokes: 3 large lightly fried pieces which looked like chicken wings. Could've been sliced into smaller bites. 3.75 stars - Dining room: modern bougie vibe. Long bar across the length of the restaurant with a few higher tables of in back (shaped like elongated guitar picks) and a banquettes. A living wall ceiling and artsy wooden touches. Midlights - Flank steak: large slices with not too much flavor. Most unremarkable item we had. 3 stars - Water service: need bigger glasses or for them to leave a carafe on the tables as they didn't come by to refill often enough. Being in a tropical location, hydration is important. - Drinks: cocktails sounded fancy but were just ok. Even their version of a smoked old fashion was lacking in the smoke reveal. Wine was also just ok - Waiter kept on calling us sir and ma'am making us feel old and bit uncomfortable Lowlights - Out of few things. their sole bakery item dessert in a brownie I was excited about and 2 out of 7 glasses of red wines

    Espresso martinis in Coa Lounge

    Coa is an awesome upscale dining and cocktail option in Cocoa Beach! The inside is elegant with a beautiful bar and a tropical wall, and the menu is tapas style and meant to be shared. I have been a few times since they opened, and each time it has gotten better. I personally prefer to get cocktails in the Coa Lounge next door, which often features a DJ. In the main restaurant, I don't love the cocktail selection and prefer to order off menu. The food is delicious-- some of my favorite items were the Thai peanut chicken, the calamari, the vodka pasta, and the giant mozzarella sticks. We ended dinner with fried Oreos, that were so delicious. The service is always great with attentive individuals. Check out my Instagram for a full video review! @centralfloridaeatz

    Liquid swords, highly recommended!

    We did the restaurant side for a date (great date place, by the way) and had an awesome time. The drinks were really good and I got some steak and pasta dish that I enjoyed. The waiter was really good and made a lot of recommendations and answered our questions. It's worth checking out and has a different vibe than the other places around it. There's also the bar side of it, closer to the beach entrance, that I'll have to check out.

    Double Down Burger at the speakeasy

    Double Down Burger was fantastic. Perfectly cooked, slight spice but not too much. The Carpaccio Sandwich (not pictured) was also fantastic - large size with a generous amount of carpaccio. Would go back for that sandwich.

    Kumamoto oysters

    Menu is unique in a good and interesting way. Everything we ordered had great flavor with a beautiful presentation. Our server was excellent and the atmosphere was comfortable. Only thing I wasn't happy about were the prices. Paying $88 for a small steak presented with no side dishes is very pricey.

    Espresso martini.... duh
    Marcelena S.

    We went to dinner on Easter Sunday evening. It was not busy at all which we anticipated since everybody did brunch there... Our server was Zach. He was very friendly, very knowledgeable and very attentive to us... We coursed out our meal there for about three hours from start to finish and honestly everything we tried was really great. The timing of the meal was fantastic, The quality of the food, the temperature, the taste... everything great. This place only opened about five weeks ago so all the kinks have been worked out as far as I can see, even the bartender came over to make sure that we liked the cocktails she was making us. Highly recommend & I would definitely go back.

    Fantastic restaurant venue, food all the above. Hopefully this becomes the norm for Cocoa Beach. Everything that on the menu is amazing. My favorite to this day is the miso black cod

The space is great with a large outdoor tiki bar with plenty of outdoor tables, all right across the street from the beach. It has that relaxed, breezy vibe you want in a beachside spot. Service was friendly and attentive from the moment we sat down, and the food was delicious. The nachos are da bomb! It was a very hot day, and the draft beer wasn't quite as cold as I prefer, but that's not unusual for outdoor taps, so it didn't take away from the experience. The only real downside is the parking. It's street parking only, and it's very limited. We found a spot with a 90‑minute limit, and our waitress let us know they're strict about enforcing it. By the time you factor in walking to and from the restaurant, it doesn't leave as much time as we would've liked to hang out and enjoy the atmosphere. Fortunately for us, a wicked storm was rolling in just as we were leaving, so the timing worked out. Overall, we enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to going back, hopefully with better parking luck next time.

At our server's suggestion, we had the Bread service with the "cheese whose name I can't remember", and it was so good! A soft, almost Brie cheese, if that helps.

My daughter had the Carpaccio, and Rebellion did it right ( unlike the other place where we had it this week- whose name will not be disclosed). It was a little bit of salad and a lot of carpaccio! Yum. The perfect ratio. My wife's Red snapper special was amazing, and the menu staple of Charred pork chop I ordered just melted in my mouth. Such good flavors! Long live the Rebellion!

    Overall, the food was excellent and there were several standout dishes. The eggplant, mussels, and…read moremeatballs were all delicious and clearly well executed. Unfortunately, the pork chop was over salted, and the fries served with the mussels were both over salted and overcooked as well. The service was okay, though our server seemed somewhat inexperienced, especially for a restaurant at this price point. One thing that was disappointing was the 3% fee for using a credit card. I didn't notice this disclosed when making the reservation, and it felt unusual for an upscale restaurant experience.
