Is anyone else dealing with a serious case of the Monday blues? ‍ Mondays hit a whole lot harder…read morewhen you've just come off an incredible weekend filled with amazing food, laughter, and great friends. Friday night at Boardwalk Grill in Indialantic was nothing short of phenomenal. From the moment we walked in, the experience was top-notch. Our server, Bryant, was absolutely outstanding--kind, hilarious, attentive, and somehow managed to remember all eight ladies' names at our table after being challenged! Talk about impressive. We started with the burrata and fish dip, both fresh, flavorful, and the perfect way to kick off the evening. For our entrées, the steak and salmon were cooked to absolute perfection. Every bite was worth savoring. While Boardwalk may be a bit of a splurge, I can confidently say it's one of those places where the experience matches the price point. Between the food, service, atmosphere, and attention to detail, you won't leave disappointed. Now excuse me while I spend the rest of Monday wishing I was back there. #MondayBlues #FoodieFinds #IndialanticEats #BoardwalkRestaurant #GirlsNightOut #BrevardCountyFoodie #WorthTheSplurge #FloridaFoodie #GoodFoodGoodFrie

Overall, a good experience. I'll definitely come back, but there are some serious issues that…read moreshould be addressed by the restaurant. I'll give it the 4 based on menu and food quality for now (even though something was seriously wrong with one of the specials), but if I returned and had the same ambiance and food issues again I would not be so nice. Food - Excellent. 1 ordered pasta (all loved it), 1 ordered the Wagyu picanha special (loved it), 2 ordered the snapper special (1 loved theirs, but the other came out 100% overcooked. Had to use a knife to cut it, and it was ultimately inedible.) All agreed that they'd eat the food again (just possibly avoid fish special as the quality was inconsistent). Did not notify staff because it took A FULL HOUR for the entrees to make it to us from the time we arrived. Service - Excellent. Server was very good, you could tell had experience. But they were way too busy. Could not visit the table as often as they should have. Probably didn't get orders in and food moved in a timely manner. But this is the fault of management (for understaffing for the number of guests) and the owners/decision makers (that decided to cram in more seating/guests than the kitchen/staff can actually keep up with). Ambiance - Uncomfortably loud. A speaker directly above our table was either misbalanced or turned up too high or broken. It boomed bass at our table the whole time. In an already incredibly loud room because of all of the talking and the tables being way too close together, it was unbearably annoying. We had to "what" each other a lot. About those tables - please quit it. I get that YOU the restaurant want to pack in as many people as possible, but we were practically sitting in strangers laps. I could hear every detail of the conversation at the table directly behind me, more than I could hear the person I was dining with at the table across from me. All of the customers AND staff were bumping against our chairs CONSTANTLY trying to pass by or reach other tables. "Sorry." "Sorry." "Sorry." The staff said sorry to us so many times it was obvious they knew it was a problem. The only reason this happened is because they're cramming two 2-seaters behind and around two 4-seaters in an area where you really can only fit the two 4-seaters comfortably. It was also unbearably hot. The garage-style doors are open... on a day that is a "feels like" of 96 because of the humidity. There was literally ZERO air movement in the restaurant. We were SWEATING at the table. The men, dabbing their foreheads and fanning shirts. Did they have an AC? I think so. Bc I felt it twice for 2 minutes. But that's it. The thing is - the food is priced like upper end dining. And I would say the quality of the food supports those prices. But no one wants upper end dining in a crowded, hot, sweaty, loud environment. It's like having a steak in a mosh pit. Will come back and hopefully the restaurant will have worked out the kinks by then.

**INITIAL REVIEW**…read more Melbourne Main Street a.k.a. Historic Downtown Melbourne is a definite "go-to" location when it comes to mom n' pop eateries ranging from casual to fine dining. Why many of my five-star reviewed restaurants are in this stretch of historic Melbourne, FL. If there is one restaurant I'd say has the "most" magnificent views of Indian River, Melbourne Main Street, and even Golden Hours of the horizons, then it is definitely The Landing Rooftop (which I will shorthand simply to Landing for the remainder of this review). Though an address is provided, The Landing - as per its full nomenclature - is located on a rooftop, specifically the rooftop of Hilton's Hotel Melby. The free parking for the garage floors for the HIlton are limited, so if you can't get a spot, there is a free parking garage just north of Hotel Melby next to the City Hall. To get to The Landing, you have to enter the lobby of Hotel Melby and take the elevator up to the 11th floor, which is the floor dedicated to the restaurant. Don't worry, the staff won't say anything and they'll usually let you go as they know about the patron traffic to the restaurant. The Landing is a beautifully-designed restaurant with Hilton's signature modern classic designs of bright tans and white lights. There is both indoor and outdoor seating, but I suggest indoor seating during high sun hours and outdoor seating during golden hour times and nighttime dining. As mentioned earlier, the views are magnificent for Indian River and Melbourne. I've eaten multiple times here at The Landing, but my lastest visit was an impromptu "date" with my friend Damaris, simply because she has never been here before, and I was giving her the grand tour of Melbourne Main Street. We sat outside in the shaded overhang, but got to walk around taking pictures of the views from all four sides. We should have sat in the cocoon hanging chairs, but we didn't know when we'd get our food and drinks. Starting with the drinks, we got a couple of mocktails, the Lemon Bay Breeze and the Strawberry Sunset. Details of both drinks and prices are in the pictures. As for food, we both split their charcuterie board appetizer, which I say is quite amazing, but definitely needs more bread and crackers. It consisted of many kinds of meats, cheeses, jams, olives, nuts, and fruits. Everything was so delicious, but we had to start using the cheese and meat slices as the "bread." We also got two desserts to share, the classic key lime pie and I assume the pistachio olive oil cake. Both were delicious and details, including price, are captioned in their pics. And on a side note, the restrooms are clean and stocked as they are up to the standard of a Hilton. And apparently, The Landing is one of those restaurants that are behind the times on payment. They initially takes tap payments with cards, but not NCT on phones. Their system does not like protective virtual cards, which is a major negative in my honest opinion, given the fact their food is a bit pricey compared to the rest of the restaurants in Melbourne Main Street. Ultimately, I am going to give The Landing three-out-of-five stars for their review. And the reason why I am giving it this kind of rating is a comparison to other Hilton restaurants I have been to. Kinda like Hotel Melby itself, this restaurant is kinda under the average of the Hilton standard. Not bad, but I have had better at other Hilton hotels and resorts. Only standout are the views around and about the restaurant, and that is a farcry because we are talking about Melbourne and Indian River. But I will stress this is one of the best places to dine while watching a rocket launch out of Cape Canaveral.

The introduction vibe on your first time is amazing. They always do a nice show for people that…read moreI've never been before, and even if you have been many times, you still get to participate, which is fun. Every day of the week they have a different separate drink menu for the specialties of that day. I love the Wednesday bourbon. The vibe inside is so amazing and Homie and it is pretty intimate though. So keep in mind if you have large parties like I went once with around six people it is hard for everyone to sit together. So I would definitely recommend coming on more weekday evenings when it's not as busy otherwise you will be having to wait in a line outside unfortunately. The capacity seems to be roughly around 30 people after talking with the bartenders. The bartenders are extremely knowledgeable. The off menu drinks that they could come up with ended up being some of my absolute favorites. I had the bartender at one point make me three surprise me drinks for whatever they felt like they could make. And every single one was so amazing I ended up passing it around to the rest of the group for everyone to try. Keep in mind, the drinks are probably a little bit more on the expensive side, but you are paying for more of the experience. It is also important to note that there is a five dollar cover fee that will last for a full week to enter the place, or you can buy an annual membership for $40. If you buy the annual membership, they do type out a membership library card for you and laminate so it feels very official and it's very cool to be able to have in your wallet. In the true vibe of speakeasy, this is a hidden gem.

The cocktails were exceptional. I asked for classic cocktails that weren't in the menu. They delivered. Love the place. Why Four stars? Service was three bears. The waiter with the blonde mop of hair is very nice but inexperienced. Too on top of customers when they arrive. He needs to give a menu and give a few minutes for guests to peruse it. The head bartender is brilliant. Talent without hospitality, though, is a craft cocktail fail. Kindness counts. The vibe was colder than the cocktails. I hope it improves on future visits. The blonde bartender in the grey dress was just right. Professional, attentive, and kind. This is easily a six star speak. When you are serving? You are "on."

My mom and I are currently sitting at the bar and Boy. Is it busy right now. However, this is the only brewery/bar. I've been to where they keep their additives that they add to the cocktails with the lid on them so no one is breathing or sneezing on them which I absolutely love. The gentleman assisting us was so nice; his name is Nick. He's amazing; very kind and efficient. The ambience of the brewery is like biker gang meet industrial warehouse. Definitely recommend. The flavor of my porter is very light and crisp. It's also very easy to drink. Very, robust flavor you can definitely taste the coffee and the caramel. 10/10

Decent beach bar, but a little too kid-friendly for my taste…read more I came here hoping for dinner on the water, good music, the sound of the ocean, and maybe some friendly conversation with the locals. Instead, one of the main seating areas was partially taken over by strollers, toys, and other kid gear. I understand that restaurants can't control every family that visits, but the overall atmosphere felt more like a playground than a relaxing waterfront dining spot. To the staff's credit, my server was kind enough to move some of the strollers and toys so I could get a seat. Unfortunately, it had just rained and the chairs were still soaked. While I appreciated her making room for me, it would have been nice if someone had also taken a moment to wipe down the seat before it was offered to me. Instead, I had the unpleasant experience of sitting in a sopping wet chair and spent my evening here with a soggy backside, which definitely put a damper on the experience... Pun intended. I ordered a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, which was good, although I was a little surprised to receive it in a plastic cup. Maybe that's standard here, but it wasn't what I expected. For dinner, I tried the mahi tacos after seeing them mentioned in several reviews. The fish itself was good, but the tacos were absolutely covered in sauce, to the point that it drowned out the taste of everything else. Also, thatsynot what they looked like on the reviews I saw. If I knew they would have so much sauce (or any sauce actually) I would ordered it on the side. I ended up removing most of the sauce-drenched toppings just to taste the fish. I also requested a side salad and was told the only option available for a side salad was a Caesar... despite several salads being listed on the menu. I guess it was too hard to toss some salad greens into a bowl with a side if vinaigrette The parking situation is also very confusing. All the spaces indicate that parking is for guests and there is signage along the fence threatening to tow anyone who parks along the fence. I had to call the restaurant to confirm where guests could park (along the fence, as long as it is not overnight or just to go to the beach) and fortunately my car was still there when I returned from dinner. Overall, the food was decent and the waterfront location is nice. If you're looking for a casual, family-friendly beach bar, this may be a fit. However, if you're hoping for a quieter place to unwind after work or enjoy a peaceful dinner by the water, you definitely want to look elsewhere.
