    Eyoooooooo it's ya boy. Another great experience at the Element. Easily the best hotel in Melbourne. Absolute Vibes. Gladys took great care of us and we felt like family. Looking forward to another great round of spicy margaritas tomorrow. 10/10 staff and hotel

    Ebb & Flow Element Melbourne Oceanfront Hotel 2655 N. Hwy. AIA Melbourne, FL 32903 3.5 Stars Well, butter my buns and call me a biscuit! I thought for sure I was done with Brevard, but we have a few more to get to before we skedaddle out of these here parts. This one is for the restaurant located in the new hotel built on the parking lot of the Holiday Inn Oceanfront, specifically the Element Melbourne Oceanfront by Marriott. I do not put much stock in hotel food, based on my own experience. They have you trapped and know it. This is the same reason a bottle of water will cost you $ 5 in an amusement park and $ 2 at a 7-11. Now that the parking lot is gone, everyone must use valet parking; however, if you are dining and not a hotel guest, there is no charge. Before delving into the grub, I have to mention the server, Jonah was outstanding in every way a server should. I am batting a thousand since my return, and life is good. I asked Jonah for one Dragon bowl and one Birria Beef Dip Sandwich. Whatever you do, do NOT look at their website for a valid representation of their food. You will be catfished. When Jonah returned with my order, I snapped the prerequisite photos and sat aghast. The fish in the Dragon Bowl looked to be at least seven years old. However, it did not have the smell one would expect to find wafting off of a fish that had been sitting around for seven years. I found that it is the sauce that gives it that look. It consists of ahi tuna, sushi-grade salmon, spicy krab salad, sushi rice, shaved black radish, edamame, avocado and wakame. This was quite tasty on the palate. The rice was fluffy, fun and as good as you will find in any sushi joint. The edamame was also excellent. I found the Birria Beef Dip Sandwich to have a similar visual appeal to the fish bowl. It was also surprisingly edible and lip-smackingly scrumptious, just like the aforementioned Dragon dish. This thing looked like an escapee from the microwave oven and was bursting with flavor, with zero bad aftertaste (which, upon inspection, one kind of expects). The garlic and herb vegetable chips that accompanied the sammich were fresh, crispy and delightful. The Big Boy says, "The view is spectacular, Jonah is awesome and the food is slightly above average. Enjoy!"

    The ambiance is really nice. Beach view & fire pit. Plenty of seating & open space. Tables are a bit tightly placed. Food & cocktails are pricey. Beer would be my go to & maybe hummus. I haven't tried the food not sure I will. I'll go back to check out their happy hour.

    I love beachfront outdoor bars and couldn't wait to try this place located on the roof of the new Element hotel. The bar area is smaller than I anticipated with seating for eight maximum and is located right next to the pool. The bartender was friendly and she had one runner bringing drinks to those seated around the pool. It took a minute to get our drinks, but we were greeted immediately and she told us she'd be right with us. They have a full liquor bar and some signature cocktails. There was a nice breeze off the ocean and the couple seated next to us was delightful. The only disappointing thing about this bar is the menu. It's very small and it tries too hard to be fancy for a hotel next to a pool bar. With cheese and charcuterie boards and fancy sandwiches nothing children will eat. With a better menu this would be five stars. There was a gentleman playing the saxophone, and he was fantastic.

    A good place to view SpaceX launches.

    We visted Ebb & Flow on a Saturday evening at about 5:15pm and found a good seat with a view of the beach. The musicians were good. We ordered drinks and had a good time. Our waitress was Samantha and she was very attentive and kind. We will come back. And we saw a great SpaceX launch!

    Mixed feelings on Ebb & Flow. The positives are that the food was delicious and beautiful presentation. The dragon bowl and my friends tacos were both great. The negatives are more abundant. I was expecting to be able to see the ocean from my dinner table and that is not the case. The pool is closest to the ocean and the restaurant is behind it. At the bar your back faces the ocean, still with a blocked view. Whoever designed this missed the opportunity to do them side-by-side so that both had an ocean view. There was one bartender and only one server/runner who was very overwhelmed. The food and drink are also expensive, $16 for a cocktail may be one of the highest in the area. I can see this being a good choice if you're staying in the hotel, but otherwise I would not choose this restaurant as a local for dinner again.

    Seems like I can never say enough about this place! The owners care so much about their business…read moreand their customers, and that care has obviously been passed onto the staff. The customer service is always so friendly and fun. The patio is by far our favorite beachside patio. And the live music is SO GOOD! They mix it up and keep it fresh, so it's always guaranteed to entertain. We continue bringing all our out-of-town guests here, over and over - and T&T has become one of their favorite places, too! So glad this business and the owners care and invest in keeping it the best beachside bar!

    Third visit to Tide & Tonic. Third bad experience. Unfortunately, there won't be a fourth…read more The first two times I came in, I sat at the bar for roughly 20 minutes without anyone even acknowledging me, much less taking an order. Both times, I finally gave up and left. Tonight I decided to give it one more try. It's beachfront, it's a beautiful location, and I really wanted to like this place. I ordered the salmon, which was around $30. It was so dry I couldn't eat it, and it tasted freezer-burned to me. The sauce tasted manufactured rather than fresh, the rice was fine, and the green beans were completely bland. I took essentially one bite and stopped eating. What made it worse was the service. My virtually untouched dinner sat in front of me for several minutes without anyone checking to see whether everything was okay....even though the restaurant was not remotely busy and appeared to have plenty of staff. I also ordered a spicy skinny margarita, which was surprisingly syrupy-sweet. I drank it because I wasn't about to let perfectly good tequila go to waste, but it wasn't a good margarita. To their credit, when someone finally came over and I explained that I couldn't eat the salmon, they removed the entrée from my bill. I appreciated that and think it's important to mention it. But three visits tell a story. Twice I couldn't get served at all. The third time I finally got served, but the food, cocktail, and attentiveness were all disappointing. For a beachfront restaurant at this price point, I simply expect better. Great location, enormous potential, but based on my three experiences, I won't be back. The best thing that happened tonight was meeting a fellow writer sitting next to me at the bar. Unfortunately, Tide & Tonic can't take credit for that. It gets a 1 star as bartender was so very sweet about it all.
