This place is so charming. Walking through the entry is a little like stepping back in time. There is a "cellar" with an extensive liqueur store featuring some unique offerings and a knowledgeable staff. There was a tasting when I wander through. We dined at the downstairs restaurant which had indoor and outdoor seating. The menu was plentiful with everyday fare and some elevated offerings too. The service was good and we enjoyed our food. There is an upstairs dining area with views as well. The general area is very walkable so an after-meal stroll is doable and pleasant. Our experience was great and we have it on our list for where to take guest for a taste of Florida. read more

Food was amazing, we had the pork chop and tacos. Our service was excellent and a beautiful view up on the deck.

Why are you sleeping on The Mansion in Melbourne??? If you are you are missing out!! I'll admit I don't get there as often as I would like being I live in the North part of the county, but every time we have been there it has not been a disappointment. We visited this evening for dinner and had a great time! The food and drinks were so good not to mention the amazing selection of bourbon that is available. They also have a cellar where they sell a variety of wine and spirits. We came here looking for something particular and our server took the time to go to the cellar while we were eating to find it for us. We have attended holiday events here over the years as well and it was always a treat. I have seen posts about the atmosphere we sat outside and really enjoyed it. Please check this place out. Reasonably priced for the portions, great presentation, service and quality. read more

Girlfriend's burger was undercooked so bad it had a pink cold center. We sent it back and they brought it back her back the same burger (that she already cut in half) on a new bun and with a new side of fries. They put the bacon over the cut she made in the burger... I know it's the same burger because it had the onions on it that she scraped off that was supposed to be on MY burger haha Terrace bartender was good and nice though. read more

The Mansion in Melbourne is such a unique spot! Downstairs is a liquor store that also hosts wine tastings and a variety of events, which I thought was a really cool touch. Out back, there's a restaurant space you can rent for birthdays, weddings, or other special occasions, and upstairs has a beautiful restaurant with outdoor seating. The service was on point, and we both ordered burgers--they were absolutely amazing. Great atmosphere, versatile spaces, and delicious food make this place a must-visit! read more

The two gentlemen on the rooftop were so helpful and really nice. They knew every aspect of the menu, the beverages and made the visit that much more welcoming. The Apple cobbler à la mode was epic! The view was nice and, after sunset, the breeze was fantastic. We didn't want to leave. We will be back. read more

Well, the food was good.... We went for Thanksgiving. I was asked, when making the reservation if we could walk upstairs. That did not clue me in... I just figured that there was an upstairs area without Ada assistance. Instead.... Our walk to the table took us through storage and trash areas. See the pictures. The dining area....omg. See the pics. It still looks like a spare bedroom. The ceiling is falling in! There's black mold around the vent. My back was to a closet covered by a curtain. Service. They tried, but, were woefully understaffed. There were dirty plates stacked in the floor. The drinkware was plastic. The Mai ti tasted like blackberry. The Long Island ice tea tasted like lemon juice. My old fashioned was just whiskey on the rocks with an orange slice. We ordered the pretzel appetizer. Cheese was good, but the pretzel was a hoagie roll. When the server brought dinner, she thumped the plates on the other side of the table. I got up and moved them to where we were sitting. I asked for a glass of wine... it came with our check. I can't say I'll be back. Seeing the dirty plates on the floor and holes in the ceiling was just horrid. Seeing other patrons get rained on as they sat outside was terrible. I had been charged $10 just to make the reservation. Overall, 4 drinks and 2 dinners was about $120, not including reservation fee and tip. Overall, it was just sad. Very sad. read more

This is a classic location in Melbourne.right before you go over the causeway. Somewhat tuck away between the hustle of the near by traffic, this place offers somewhat of an easy going, beachy feel with a touch of class. Connected next door is a spot unknown to me for years which is a curated collection of whiskies and some named after the Masion. Try the flights in the restaurant or bar to Know which is your favorite and take the bottle home. Food wise nothing was a huge hit for me but service was attentive. read more

We used to love the Mansion. But standards have really dropped over the last year. Several of our favorite items have been dropped from the menu. They also used to have a very large selection of beer on tap. Now there are more open taps then filled ones. We arrived at 5:00 on a Friday and due to staffing the outdoor patio and bar weren't open. The staff was very friendly and served us quickly. Just seems that standards have really dropped. read more

This restaurant is tucked away a little off the beaten path. There's an outdoor part, and an indoor tavern/sports area part. We sat in the tavern but by the time we left, the outdoor part was filled. Wait staff was incredibly attentive and we had our server and the bartender check on us multiple times throughout the evening. My husband got the salmon which was very delicious and I got the chef burger. Side note: it doesn't come cut, I cut it myself. The chef burger was a special and it was delicious. Good fries too. I recommend this spot for a nice evening! read more

Came in with the a group on Friday around 1830 with reservations. Sat inside which was really nice. The room was somewhat private with nice decor. Service was really good and the restaurant overall had really nice ambiance. Got the fish tacos, it was ok. It was basically a perfectly seasoned fish in a tortilla. It came with beans, pico de gallo, cheese, cabbage slaw, jalepenos and brownish guacamole. I also got an old fashioned that came mixed with ice chips, smh. Classy place like this should provide a block ice but apparently it was an upcharge for a dollar. The cellar and spirits room is a must visit. They got some rare labels in there and I thought decently priced. Overall, good spot...def recommend! read more

Great local spot in downtown Melbourne. The food is always excellent especially the appetizers! One of the best views in the area if you sit on top of the roof! Staff is always super friendly. The only negative I have is sometimes it has taken a while to get our food. read more

The Mansion - Death by chocolate cake - New American Near Me - Melbourne, Florida

I am writing this review knowing I will be back and my opinion of the food was subject to me being on a special diet at the time. So I will absolutely be doing a revision the moment I go back if the experience is better. Also if you're going to get drinks it's a 10/10 and you can get some pretty nice bottles of liquor from their cellar. We stopped by with some friends to grab a lunch and catch up. I was doing a rather strict diet and had to be rather choosy about what to order. In the past Melbourne has actually been a rather easy city to stick to a diet in because I can find some healthy but extremely tasty options. I ordered the Falafel sandwich with no tzatziki with a side of sautéed spinach. The falafel didn't have tons of flavor and I know that's what the tzatziki would have helped but I've had better falafel. The spinach was good and had some garlic and salt and pepper which added to enhance the flavors. The service was fine but it took a while to order and then get our check. In full confession I have been back to Mansion since this visit but I went for the roof top bar and a drink which were fantastic in fact every "zone" of Mansion has its own vibe and all are great! read more

Absolutely unbelievable. They over cooked the crab cakes burning them when they put them on the flat top. Told them they were burnt. Very nice waiter apologized and took them. When he returned they just scraped off the burnt top and gave us back what we had sent back. The returned crab cakes had the lemon that we put on them. First and last visit here. Should have known with a 3.5 rating. read more

We've been coming here for years during our vacation, but this time we were disappointed with the service and food. I would give less than 2 stars, but we had good experience in the past and I'm hoping it's a one time thing. Our server wasn't very friendly, but another guy who brought out the food was great. I had margarita and it tasted very sour and almost like pure lime juice... margarita is my choice of cocktail, and I usually get a little buzz from one drink, but this did nothing to me. I also had pork chop special that came with mashed potatoes and green beans. I hated how green beans tasted as they were very acidic and salty . I decided to eat the rest of the dish, but I should have returned it to the kitchen. The pork was cooked the way I asked, but it was extremely salty (I'm the one who likes a lot of salt, but this was too much). We had a big family dinner and other people mentioned their food being very salty and Caesar salad dressing being so salty that they couldn't eat. read more

We ate on the terrace during sunset on a Friday night. The view was nice, but both the food and the service were lacking, in my opinion.

**Harvey's honest reviews ** Okay, my wife and I went and sat by the bar. The inside had a very nice atmosphere. The service was acceptable but the waiter seamed spread thin as there were only three. We went with the crab cakes for an appetizer. I was very impressed with the size of the crab cake serving and it was delicious. We got the fish and chips for an on-trey. The fish was kind of cold along with the skinny fries. We then moved on to desert. We hade a chocolate cake and a key lime pie. The serving size of both were huge. Both were very delicious. Due to the servers being spread thin I waited on my drink to be refilled but it never happened. I got the bill and paid over $100 dollars including the tip for two people. Hope this helps, Dennis In summary we decided we would come back read more

It had been a bit since I have been to the Mansion and we started off in the barrel room. Not gonna lie. I wish I had known more about this sooner since they had a lot of barrel picks that I was interested in but didn't pull the trigger this time. We then went to the dining room for a late lunch. Afternoon looking over the menu there was a lot that was sticking out to me and sounded good but I made a decision to go with something from the specials, the Blackened Mahi Wrap. This came filled up with Blackened and spiced fresh Mahi, avocado, and Island Slaw which I believe had Pineapples in it wrapped in a tortilla. I of course did the basic thing too and went with fries for my side. Our food came out within about 10 to 15 minutes and my wrapped looked pretty good. Once I got into it though I realized that the Mahi was pretty bland. Now the only reason I call them out on this was because it was supposed to be blackened Mahi and there was barely if any flavor/spice to the fish. The wrap was also very wet which caused it to fall apart. The positive though is that there was a lot of fish in the wrap and the avocado was nice an soft. The fries were also pretty good. I probably wouldn't get that special again since it was just OK but there still were a lot of options that have my issue and the Mansion is very close to my parents house. Plus I know I'll be coming back to check out their barrel room and probably grab one of their barrel picks or at least to a tasting. read more

The Mansion - Falafel Sandwich with Sautéed Spinach - New American Near Me - Melbourne, Florida

Decent lunch menu. Pub atmosphere. Unique dining experience. Private room for small meetings or parties.

I was assigned to choose a restaurant after attending the Arts and crafts show at Wickham Park. I expected The Mansion to be an interesting spot and it was! The menu offers a good variety of reasonably priced sandwiches and entrees. The bar is full service and tastings are offered in the cellars. We were a party of six easy going diners. I started with a Mocha Cold brew Martini to take the chill off the FL winter evening! And my cousin chose the same. We were both pleased We tried the Wild Mushroom Bruschetta and Bavarian pretzel appetizers. If you love mushrooms ‍ and a nice soft salty pretzel These are great choices! My Mom and her guy both chose fish and chips; generous portions of fish, coleslaw and fries. They ate every bite and commented it was very good, obviously Our waiter unexpectedly advised one my cousins on Pot Roast or the Pastrami sandwich. He laughed noting "he's reading me I do love a good hot pastrami sandwich!" He chose the pot roast and left only the fattiest portion of the beef uneaten. My guy chose the wedge salad with salmon. It was more a head than a wedge He enjoyed it, on the way home he stated he tasted no bacon. Maybe they forgot to put it on? We'll never know it was completely consumed. The remainder of us girls tried the vegetarian sandwiches; Avocado a go go and Stuffed Portobello with Sweet potato fries. Both sandwiches were tasty but messy to eat. I would switch the olives to an olive tapenade and the strips of roasted peppers to a halved roasted pepper. The sandwiches might hold together better. ( ‍ I know a few chefs.) The rum runner was good 2 were consumed. We did not have dessert Overall, good food and service, great portions! We will be back read more

Came in for lunch. The place is large with a deli, a cellar, wine store, there's Bourbon and wine tasting rooms, a terrace dining area, a tavern eating area and a Rooftop eating area which was closed until July 4th. You can buy any bottle of wine and pay a $7 cork fee. Their wine prices are reasonable. Sydney was our server and she was great! We started with Sangria which was good but a little too blackberry liquer forward for my taste. I was torn between getting the crab cake appetizer and the sandwich as I didn't want much bread. Sydney suggested the sandwich and I am so glad she did. There's more ingredients and the English muffin with the Tillamook cheese is delish. The crab cakes ( there are 2 on there) are delicious. Probably top 3 of the best I ever had. Not much filler and the aiolis that accompany it are great. Sweet potato waffle fries were good but needed to be warmer. My hubby got the fish sandwich and said it was stellar. His portion size was small compared to mine but the price point was very good. I switched to a rum runner which was small and not my favorite. Hubby got a Bourbon. They charge $1 for the big ice ball which is ok but better if she had told us. No biggie. We loved Sydney. We ended with a huge piece of Death by Chocolate cake which for $12 was ok. I think it needs to be more room temp to be better. All in all a fabulous find and I'd come back in a heartbeat. read more

First and foremost...this place has an amazing bourbon selection at fantastic prices, along with a great tasting space. Absolutely worth going just for that. And yes, they have wines, tequilas, ryes, etc., but I really only care about the bourbon, and it is fantastic. As for the food, it was fairly decent. Had the crabcake sandwich, which is a crabcake on an english muffin with cheese, aioli, and a pepper puree. Not bad at all. The downside is that an english muffin is so inherently hard that most of the crabcake ends up on the plate after the first bite. But it's OK because it still all tastes the same in the end. read more

We were very pleased with our meal, the service (Alex), and the restaurant itself. We both got the Salmon with spinach and whipped potatoes. The portion size was good, and we thought the salmon was some of the best we have ever had. Keep in mind we both eat a lot of salmon. We split the dessert. We ordered the Death by Chocolate cake. The portion was generous and once again the taste was fantastic. We left The Mansion with our bellies full and smiles on our faces read more

I have fond memories of going to the Mansion with friends for dinner years ago so my husband and I decided to go last night. It was a beautiful night so we opted to sit upstairs on the deck. There was one other table of guests, we were greeted and received a drink in a reasonable amount of time. They had a specials menu and I wanted to nachos. Well apparently the nachos in the special menu weren't available, not the end of the world. I ordered a burger, they asked temp, I ordered it medium. My husband had salmon and said his dinner was good. My burger was well done again not the end of the world but definitely far from medium . We ordered 3 drinks each at dinner. The empties were never removed. (Mind you at this point only 3 tables of guests between two servers. ). Finally before Leaving we ordered key lime pie. It came out quickly. But it was awful. Tasted freezer burned. When one server came back I told him it was inedible and asked for the check, he said no problem and sorry about your dessert. He brought back the check with the $12 key lime pie still on the bill. When the other server came back to get the check I told him and he did remove it, overall not a great experience, also, there was no music. No ambiance. Just the sound of traffic from 192. I wanted to love it, but not this time. I hope they improve. We used to love this spot. read more

The Mansion is a good spot to enjoy some lunch but also a great spot to pick up various varietals of whiskey if you are into that as I am. They have an outdoor and indoor dining area, a bar if you want to watch whatever sports match is happening, and the bottle store which is ever so magical. For lunch, I had the shrimp po'boy, which was decent but underwhelmed by. Based on what I saw everyone else ordered at the table, I should have ordered the fish and chips or the burger, but I suppose next time. The charcuterie board was very good. I enjoyed the cheese they cut. The bottle store is worth a stop into Melbourne to the Mansion alone. They have an incredible scotch, Japanese, American (bourbon mostly but some ryes and malts as well), and Irish whisk(e)ys available. They have a lot of bottles from distilleries that not only I don't see normally in south Florida but price wise is within the range I look to purchase. read more

I would not recommend this Venue! So many things are wrong with it. The food is terrible! The service is terrible and the only reason it got a 2 instead of a 1 is that the ambiance was nice. With the prices of food these days, your money can be much better spent elsewhere. read more

Met a group of friends here while in town, used to come here often when we lived in Melbourne. Still a cool place to eat at, but not like it used to be.

This time the only thing really good was the location. read more

I do want to say, for the record, that The Mansion is indeed an excellent restaurant with delicious food in a beautiful building . My pork chop was splendid. My friend's shrimp po'boy was delicious. The rooftop terrace has a lovely view of the water (and occasional rocket launches). The garden patio is peaceful and pleasant in good weather. That is not why we go. That is definitely not why I have walked out with lighter pockets both times I have been. That? That is the fault of the Cellars. Because for some of us, the place isn't a restaurant at all, it's the best tasting bar we have ever visited... which happens to be -attached- to a restaurant. We're there for the liquor and the cameraderie. Get a ticket for one of the tasting tables to settle down with a few strangers (and a few regulars) or just pop in and ask Jim or Danny (their expertise is an absolute delight, and they're fun to talk to) to set you up a flight of something. Give them a price point for what you're looking for (Under 40$ a bottle? Can do. Under 400$ a bottle? Can also do.) and watch the magic. Once referred to as 'a dating service for alcohol', they are incredibly good at sussing out what suits your taste and then finding something you can afford and cannot bear to leave without. Go with a budget. These gents are dangerous and I love them for it. If The Mansion weren't 775 miles from my house, I would show up considerably more often. As it is, it's shaping up to be an annual pilgrimage at the minimum. read more

No no no no no. No. This was a horrible experience and a horrible meal. The server was grouchy from the get go with our group of 8 upon arrival and it didn't get better after that. We ordered a variety of meals and there were a lot of incorrect things- a few up which were corrected- but a majority weren't because we never saw the server after the food was thrown at us. Yes, a large portion of the fish and chips meal slid onto the empty table behind us along. There was no replacement given and our coworker ate the one fish piece on his plate and the mess of fries and the remaining two pieces of fish weren't cleaned up. I ordered the crab cakes and got some fried medallions of breading and diced onions. There was no crab to be seen. The spinach was very bitter and the green beans were raw and inedible. My only positive comments would be it was a wonderful setting with great weather to sit and be served poorly sourced and executed food. Again, negative experience for our group. read more

What a wonderful gem in Melbourne. Right on the rivers edge view. We sat up top in the adults only terrace. The overhead shade was nice, the breeze was great, and the area was clean. Staff was very friendly and attentive. The Sangria was very smooth and strong. Appetizer came out quickly and tasted great. My steak was the absolute best steak I've had so far in Florida. Well worth the $34. My wife had the veal covered in mushrooms, she enjoyed it. The death by chocolate was amazing!!! We shall be back to enjoy the cellar and terrace again. This place is a must see on the Space Coast. read more
