In 2019 we hired Kelly for our wedding catering and had a wonderful experience. We reached out…read moreagain but it must have changed ownership and name change. It is now A Chef's touch. Here is our experience with the new company: I reached out to A Chef's Touch on Tuesday and was told my date was available for in-house catering for 18 guests. They sent me the menu, which looked good, and I was ready to move forward. The next morning, I called and left a message to go over menu selections and ask a few questions, including details about the carving station. I didn't hear back. The following day, I called again and left another message explaining that timing was getting close and I needed to confirm my date and finalize details. Still no response. By Thursday, I sent an email requesting a callback and asking for a time to connect. At that point, it had been several days without any communication, and unfortunately, I still never heard back. After four days of trying to reach them, I moved on and hired a private chef who was not only more responsive, but also less expensive and offering a much more memorable experience. I understand that businesses get busy, but lack of communication--especially when someone is trying to book an event--is very frustrating and ultimately the reason I chose to go in a different direction. Update: There was a call back on Thursday that I missed. This is on me. I will change the star review to 2 stars. Friday at 11:00 I received this email: My apologies for not being able to take your calls the last two days, as I was in the hospital with a family member and did not have the greatest cell reception. I am available for a call today at your convenience.

This company catered my wedding! And let me tell you they did not disappoint. The food was…read moredelicious, served hot and on time. I have absolutely nothing bad to say. My spouse chose salmon as one of our meats and it was some of the BEST salmon I have ever had!! The parm crusted mashed potatoes are TO DIE FOR. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! If I could leave more than 5 stars I would!

I dragged my husband along for my first visit, and honestly... solid choice. The selection was…read morepretty good--not "kid in a candy store," but definitely "adult in a meat shop with a plan." The customer service? Next level. Like, if friendliness were a sport, they'd have a trophy case. I picked up some beef liver (because I make bold life decisions), and my husband spotted a sandwich special. We teamed up like true food strategists and split a Turkey Avocado on Rye with chips. Zero regrets--10/10 would share again. While casually pretending I knew what I was doing near the steak section, I found something called "Drunken Steaks." Obviously, we adopted one--a NY strip--and cooked it that night. It was so good I briefly considered writing it a thank-you note. AND THEN... plot twist: FREE BEER. I don't even drink much, but I'm not about to disrespect free. I asked for a half cup like a responsible adult. The butcher, however, was on a mission to make sure we *didn't* leave sober. Respect. By the end, we were stuffed, happy, and slightly questioning our self-control. Long story short: came for the meat, stayed for the vibes, left planning our return.

Everything was pretty cost efficient looking at the menu prices. Most food trucks I've seen are overpriced and have smaller portions. I didn't try everything they were cooking, but the chicken tacos were on point. Some of the best chicken I've ever tasted really. It instantly stood out when I took a bite. Idk how they got so much flavor in it. Must be triple marinated or something. There were steak and shrimp options I seen also. Diff bowls, tacos, and burrito options on the menu. A couple side items to choose from as well. The food was ready quite quickly. Everything was nice and fresh. They also had this homemade mango salsa that was ridiculously good. You could tell they spent a ton of time preparing that and everything else they had to offer. Like I said I didn't try everything, but looking forward to when I see them again. Idk where they set up at regularly, but they said you could contact them for private events if need be and gave me a card. I'm guessing they're at diff places in general. Anyways def would recommend giving them a shot if you see them out.

Tiny Turtle was a fun stop with some really unique flavor combinations!…read more We started with the empanadas, and they were absolutely fantastic. Crispy, flavorful, and a great way to kick off the meal. We also ordered the signature nachos with half pork and half beef. The meats were delicious, but the nachos are served in a bowl, which caused most of the liquid cheese to settle at the bottom. That left quite a few chips dry by the end. I also wish they had been a little more generous with their signature sauces because they're one of the highlights of the menu and I think a bit more of them would have really brought everything together and helped the drier chips. The PB&J BBQ sliders were a total flavor explosion. Such a creative combination, and it absolutely worked! My only suggestion would be a little more sauce and a few more peppers to really let those flavors shine (they were dry in some areas). The prices were fair for the quality of the food, and we really appreciated that they offer a military discount. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal and would likely come back to try some other options. With just a little more generosity on the sauces, this place would be outstanding. If you're looking for something different from the usual beach fare, Tiny Turtle is definitely worth a visit.

While wandering historic downtown Cocoa I discovered the stately Porcher House in Cocoa Riverfront…read morePark. As a fan of historic architecture, this is a gem worth checking out. In front of the home is a historic marker that is part of the Historical Marker Program, one of the Division of Historical Resources' most popular and valued public history programs. The markers raise awareness of Florida's cultural history while enhancing the enjoyment of historic sites for residents and tourists. The blue historic markers tell the stories of the people and places that were important to Florida's history and they can be found in front of schools, forts, roads, archaeological sites, battlefields, cemeteries, roads, churches, historic districts, and historic buildings like this one. Historic marker F-937 was installed in 2017 by Brevard County Historical Commission, The Brevard Heritage Council, The Brevard County Tourist Development Council, and the Florida Department of State. This impressive home is associated with Edward Porcher. As a young man he moved to Cocoa from South Carolina in the late 1800's. He and wife Byrnina Peck of Atlanta settled into Merritt Island where they raised their family and operated Deerfield Groves, a citrus farm. He was the first person to grade fruit for shipping, patented the first fruit stamping machine, and he invented a machine to wash the fruit. He was the founder of the Indian River Orange Growers Association. In 1962 he was inducted into the Florida Citrus Hall of Fame. Byrnina was the first postmistress on Merritt Island. In 1895 the Porcher family moved into a three story wood frame house where the Cocoa Civic Center is now located. Construction on the Porcher's Neo Classical Revival home began in 1914 based on Mrs. Porcher's design. A special feature in front of the house are the stones that were cut to represent the suits of cards in a game of Bridge. The house was built from native coquina rock and included ten bedrooms, four and one-half baths, a partial basement, and an attic. The staircase is made of teak, the floor is oak, and the wainscoting and trim are cedar. The Porcher family moved into the grandest home in Cocoa on October 31, 1916. Portions of the house are original while others are restorations. No longer on the property are the porte-cochere on the north side, the Porcher's swimming pool, and the large packinghouse that was on the river bank behind the house. The packing house was used to process produce delivered by boat the family's groves on Merritt Island. Edward Porcher passes away in June 1939. Upon his death the house passed to his son Arthur who died the next month. The house became a hotel and then in 1945 the City of Cocoa purchased it and used it for City Hall. Money from city and state historic preservation grants were used to restore the Porcher House and it was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 6, 1986. Today the Porcher House can be rented for private events like weddings.

Porcher was in the business of oranges. Later, this house was used as city hall…read more Now it is an event venue for weddings and such. The house has been restored, but it is not furnished as a residence. Some of the rooms contain offices where you can reserve the house for an event, and arrange for catering. The front door latch is a bit hard to open, so try a little harder before giving up on it. Don't expect a guided tour of the house, but walk thru and have a look, when there is no wedding or reserved private event going on. There is an elevator to the second floor, with water fountain and restrooms nearby. Look out the first floor back porch to the river. Walk out the back and stroll to the river thru a park with an amphitheater. There is another park on the block that has swing sets for the younger folk. This Porcher House is next door to the civic center.
