Our waitress was helpful and lively. And the food was surprisingly amazing! We only had nachos and drinks because we didn't want to ruin dinner later.

Smash burger was good but not better than other options in the area. Loved the beer and bev selections on our visit! Everything felt a little overpriced though. Service as phenomenal! Multiple servers tag teamed and everything was efficient. But I honestly felt like I was getting scooted along pretty quickly. Loved the view, vibes, and experience overall.

First and foremost, reserving was easy. But the day of dinner I come up to the counter and tell…read morethem that I have a reservation mine you when I reserved they told me that they were going to write down that it was a surprise birthday dinner, but the people at the front ruined it by saying "oh is it a birthday dinner?" like how clueless can they freaking be. Worst part is that my significant other was right next to me. Also, let's start with the service. The only thing the that was bad about this dinner, Besides the ruining of the surprise was that the server was absolutely horrible. It took her about 30 minutes just to start us off with water and it wasn't even busy. After she came back with the waters, it took her another 30 minutes to come back to take our order. I'm a very observant person so I would see groups of people come in and they would get their food before us. That's crazy. Anyways, after another 30 minutes, the waiter came to take our orders. We all knew what we wanted cause we were already there for an hour. About 20 minutes later. Our food comes out and two people order was wrong. We tell the lady and she said she's gonna get it fixed 10 minutes ago by and the person just ends up eating whatever they were given. Overall worst experience ever never coming back. PS the food was good at least.

Busy, but not too crowded, bartender was excellent. Started off with a vodka martini (was going to order oysters). Ordered the beet salad to start and it was huge. Roasted beets, tomatoes, and blue cheese w/frisee lettuce was very good. Next appetizer was the fried green tomatoes. Huge, crispy and lots of them. Crab meat and remoulade on top was just right. They had imported oysters from New England (Wellfleet) so ordered a 1/2 dozen to go with my martini. Excellent presentation and taste. Next was the peel and eat shrimp. Big and not overcooked. The cocktail sauce was good, with lots of horseradish. On top of all the good food was the atmosphere. More like a resort than a restaurant. Great view of the river. Highly recommended and will go back next time I'm in town.

I tasted a bit of the fish and it was tops. Band was pretty good, played a good variety of reggae and reggae-styled covers. Loved it! As always drinks and beer were spot on. Was afraid it would be crowded but it was easy to get a table. Love this spot in the summer!

It's a pretty cute little spot that I would return to however I wasn't impressed with the food I tasted but maybe it was an off night or just the food we ordered wasn't that exciting.

**INITIAL REVIEW**…read more When it comes to the restaurants within Downtown Melbourne/Melbourne Main Street, I often stress that the ones on the edge of the river and/or marina are some of the best ones if you want a meal with a view. The Mansion and Chart House come to mind. The one my family wanted to go to was Ichabod's Bar & Grille. Unfortunately, its popularity exceeded its capacity and the waittime was over an hour. Ergo, we went to their sister location on Melbourne Beach, the one right across from Paradise Beach. Maybe, I was expecting a bit more as the Melbourne Beach location is the newer location meaning it had the OG to learn from, but it did not live up to that standard, at least the one I had in my head. Though an address is provided, this Ichabod's Bar & Grille - which I will shorthand simply to Ichabod's for the remainder of this review - is located as a stand-alone business right across the entrance to Paradise Beach. Ichabod's surely has that look of being a dockside restaurant despite being "landlocked," but good luck parking nearby. The parking situation has always been bad around the area. Inside, the seating is limited in which the majority of seating seems to be at the two bars. I guess Ichabod's is catering to a certain demographic pertaining to who dines inside. Outside, there are more tables for families and groups. That is where my family and I sat for our meal. Our waitress Jordanann, God bless her soul, was the only waitress working. She was running around like a chicken with their head cut off as she served everyone both inside and outside the restaurant. Despite her situation, she remained focused and kind. I definitely gave her a big tip for how hard she worked. As for the food, it was... well... okay. I always get fried fist fillets whenevere I come to a new seafood restaurant, along with crab cakes. There was shell in the crab cake, which I find to be a bit of a norm with a little piece, but there were some thoroughly recognizable pieces in my mouth when biting right in. And the fish, well... it was... okay. Not the best fish I ever had, but not bad where I would not finish it or at least take it home. Other food my family ordered includes the Mahi Sandwich, Our Burger, Shrimp Wrap, Caprese Burger, Jerk Mahi Plate, and the Jerk Shrimp Plate. Overall, the initial visit was very lacking. Though I do not fault the waitress herself, I do fault the restaurant for only having one waitress for this shift. I assume they are having a troublesome time keeping staff. I will definitely come back and give them a second chance. Can't just say Ichabod's is what they are over one visit, but for this initial visit, this is the kind of rating I would give them. If they improve over an average, i will reconsider changing the rating and updating the review.

Kathy had the "Our Burger" with cheddar cheese and bacon, medium rare and potato chips. Dottie had the "Our Burger" with sautéed onions, no bun and put on a side salad with bleu cheese dressing. I had the "BBQ Burger" with a great tasting bbq sauce, cheddar cheese and bacon and a side of great creamy cole slaw and potato chips. ALL our burgers were soo good. We thoroughly enjoyed them!!! Spoke to MATT who cooks these burgers and shared with him how happy we were with them. The BEST!! Whenever we visit family again here will keep Ichabod's open for one dinner. Dottie's salad was also great as was the creamiest cole slaw side I ordered. The potato chips that comes with the entree is also a must. Thanks again to our server, sorry I forgot your name. You were also the best. You couldn't make us more comfortable. You are an asset to this business. Thanks again.

Overall Rating: 3.0 Atmosphere: 2.5 | Service: 3.0 | Food:…read more3.0 | Cocktails: 3.0 | Price Per Bite: 3.0 This place could definitely use an upgrade. With such a prime location right on the beach, it feels like it could be an incredible restaurant and a serious revenue generator, but unfortunately, it doesn't seem like much has been invested into the property. I was surprised to hear that it supposedly has the same owners as Dijon's Restaurant up the street, which has a much more polished and upscale feel. The difference between the two is pretty dramatic. During our visit, a lot of the staff seemed to be standing around waiting for customers, and the whole place just felt like it was missing some energy. The outdoor dining area is dated and not particularly inviting. The windows and exterior show plenty of wear from the beach weather--which is understandable in this location--but the overall space still needs some attention. If you do eat here, I'd recommend staying downstairs. Upstairs had more of a pool hall/dude-hangout vibe and definitely wasn't where I'd choose for a romantic weekend dinner with my wife. This feels more like a beach-day, grab-some-grub kind of place that happens to occupy the building of a much larger restaurant. There's a ton of potential here, but right now, they're really missing the ball on what this location could be. Probably would not return unless the place gets a significant refresh.

We ordered the coconut shrimp app (highly recommend) , poke nachos , and shared the south seas (mahi) tacos. The poke nachos were a large appetizer for a reasonable price given the generous amount of ahi tuna present. I thought both apps were very good but the tacos were sub par. Unlike the nachos, the tacos had very little mahi. The ratio of lettuce to mahi was like 3:1. The best part of the tacos dish turned out to be the rice and beans that came on the side. The beans were well seasoned and came in clutch as hungover leftovers the next day. Our server, a young lady, was very polite and checked on us often. Overall we enjoyed this restaurant and would return if ever in the Indian Harbour Beach area again.
