    Chicken sandwich (forget the exact name)
    Kataigles O.

    Really great overall experience. The location is great, food was really good and the drinks were on point. Service was really good, almost too attentive, but that's not really a bad thing. Ambiance is nice and they had live music closer to when we were leaving.

    This is part of the view you will have

    This is a great place to sit outside and watch the plane come and go from the Melbourne airport. The beer is cold and the food was good,

    View, looking West.

    Pretty cool venue with space to host large groups. Nice bar area, live music & great view. Music is extremely loud, you can barely have conversations. Too crowded, being the newest "place to be". Happy hour drink specials; my Margarita was still $15. Wasn't bad, but not worth $15. Cranberry/Orange salad was $18. Average size bowl most places serve. It came out with chopped chicken all over the top. Sent it back, being vegetarian. Menu did not mention chicken. It came back out without chicken. It was a good, fresh salad. Our server was on our table alone, so service was slow. My bill had the words "take off" with an additional charge of $1. I asked about this & was told it would come off. I'm thinking it was for taking the chicken off my salad... IDK??? It was too cloudy to see the sunset, but still enjoyed the company. FYI: It is outdoors, so no AC. It was very humid, & when the sun does go down, it's directly on you! May try this place again, may not.

    Appetizer was not served until meal; it was lobster Mac & Cheese which was disappointingly dry.

    Food and service were great. Nice way to watch some storms approaching. Got a little load when some softball tournament families piled in.

    How often do jets arrive and take off? Is there a “best time” to go to this restaurant for enjoying the view?

    There are a few airline flights taking off and landing 5 and 7:30 pm, but not many because it's a smaller airport. In between though there's usually lots of student pilots taking off and landing, as well as business jets, so there's plenty of…

    We arrived before sunset which allowed us to see fabulous sights- the airport traffic in daylight, and the sunset which is God's gift after a long day.

The place is really nice. Lots of great decor, and a live stream of Key West on a TV screen that we sat near. Food was absolutely delicious. I got the Guava Jerk Sirloin. It was cooked beautifully. The sauce was absolutely delicious. The mashed potatoes were loaded and massive, and the broccoli tasted great. Couldn't finish it, so took it home!

Two have chickpea as a source with the third no having a plant based source of protein in the dish. We confirmed with the server that the guacamole did not contain dairy so ordered the plantain chips and guac as an app- highly recommend. Then after having many other burgers/sandwiches on our trip I opted for the chickpea pasta with veggies and leaving off the parm to make it vegan. I appreciate the volume of veggies in the dish, though the sauce was a touch too oily. The main issue was the cooks WAY over cooked the chickpea pasta so when they tossed it with the sauce and veggies 2/3 of the pasta had broken apart...

Huge portion and the cheese and special sauce really was great! They have great creamy coleslaw which I often choose to accompany anything I order. My husband had a burger with fries! Fries are great, too! He is a Guinness guy! BTW, they have the perfect Scotch Egg! There is so much to try! Great Fish and Chips! Great Bangers and Mash! We travel over an hour to get there! We just don't get there often enough. Servers are efficient ... they must have a fabulous kitchen! What's not to love about the ambiance of an Irish pub. Ask about the live Irish music "jam".

This past weekend, we were in town and had to go visit an old favorite. Now that we live closer, we were excited to renew acquiantence. While most people don't go to an Irish Bar for gourmet food, M o'M's was reliably good in our memory. We were incredibly disappointed in our dinner Saturday night. We ordered Shepherds Pie, Corned Beef and Cabbage and Chocolate Cake. The Shepherds Pie tasted like it was made with Heinz Boullion Powder. The Corned Beef and Cabbage had no seasoning whatsoever, tasted like it was just boiled in plain water. The Chocolate cake looked beautiful, all drizzled with white chocolate and rasberry sauce. The drizzles were the best part. The cake tasted like the refrigerator smells. I hope we got it on a bad night but I suspect its not worth going for food again. We'll stick with the Guiness and Irish Whiskey next time.

They also have seating; It's a seat yourself policy. For a drink I decided to get there Mr. pink Porter, which is a American Porter with notes of chocolate caramel and coffee. It is 6.2% ABV. 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

I had the pulled pork plate with mashed potatoes and cornbread of which was quite delicious. I enjoyed every bite. I must go back because there were other things on the menu that I have to try.
