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.

From an out of towner, this was a gem of a find. Seemed to be more of a local hangout, and we were…read morelucky to be seated without any wait. 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.

Pretty good first visit. My friends and I dined here one Sunday afternoon. Place was almost empty…read moreand our server was fairly new. It's a steakhouse but the menu has several other choices including pizza and wings. Inside is spacious and I noticed that they had an outside tiki bar close to the water. I ordered the New York strip and my son ordered fish and chips. Our server was very attentive so our glasses stayed full and she addressed any questions quickly. My steak came out cooked perfectly. They season the steaks with a mixture of fresh garlic and herbs. It was delicious! I opted for a side of veggies which also were good but wish they were grilled veggies. The location is definitely off the beaten path in Merritt Island but it's worth a visit.

We have gone to Pompano Grill a few times and we've had mixed experiences. But after our dinner at…read morePompano Grill last week went from bad to worse, we recommend against eating there. They are inattentive, rude, borderline fraudulent, and they attempt to be intimidating. As we sat down, our server launched into a long pitch about how the chef will not cook a steak more than medium, and how he - would - cook it blue if that was what we wanted. This was a lengthy sales pitch. I specifically asked if the chef was willing to serve a steak that was cool and red (my definition of blue), and our server confirmed this. So based on that, I ordered steak. Unfortunately, when the steak arrived, not only was it overcooked, but it was poorly cooked in that it had a ring of about half an inch of totally brown meat, then another quarter inch of light pink, and then starkly transitioned to bright red. This is what happens when you put an ice cold steak into a hot pan. The steak was definitely not blue, and more like medium rare or medium, given how much brown and pink it had. I asked our server if this is what the restaurant calls blue, more for future reference - since it was late in the evening and I didn't feel like wasting food, I wasn't going to send it back and ask the kitchen to remake it. The server went back and had a lengthy conversation with someone in the kitchen, and then the manager came out and at first said that I should have ordered it blue. When I said that I had asked for blue, he said, "Okay well that's how we do our blue steaks." I was a bit annoyed by the dishonest sales pitch that our server had made before we ordered, so I might have visibly rolled my eyes. But I wanted to just make the best of it and eat in peace. Unfortunately, the chef had other ideas. He came up to our table, stood in what he probably intended to be an intimidating pose, and asked - very aggressively - "Is there a problem with the steak?" I said it was cooked rather more than my preference, which was disappointing given the lengthy sales pitch about how this restaurant supposedly did not overcook steaks. The chef launched into a lecture about how "rare is a temperature" and "the health department has rules" and "you can't get a steak blue while still getting it to the minimum temperature unless you sous vide it or reverse sear, and that takes too much effort." So basically, the chef admitted that this restaurant, which boasts "a passion for craftsmanship and creativity" and supposedly serves Mishima Reserve American Wagyu, puts less effort into a steak than I do when I cook one at home. Clearly, the chef's intention was to intimidate and humiliate, as well as pull the power move of "I will serve you poorly cooked steak and how dare you not like it." It was about this time our waiter (who had been insisting this whole time that "We would consider that [brown steak with a thin red stripe in the center] rare"), came over to ask if we wanted to order more wine (which we had been considering). After this treatment, though, my husband told him politely that we would not be ordering any more. A woman who had been sitting with the chef, who we took to be the owner or manager, uttered an audible "Wow," as if it were somehow unusual after a breakdown of relations such as this not to order more. My husband said "'Wow,' what?" in a mild tone? She gave no response. Kitchen mishaps happen, and sometimes steak ends up overcooked. That's not the end of the world. It's better if a restaurant fixes it, but if they're not going to fix it, they should at least accept that a customer might be dissatisfied, rather than lecture and berate a customer for having the temerity to have an adverse opinion. In the end, nothing was done either to satisfy us, nor to compensate us for the poor meal (which was quite expensive when tallied up), nor to assure us this would not happen again. I would advise avoiding this restaurant.

I was so anticipating a disappointing tourist trap experience, and I left completely impressed…read more Not only does Rikki give the best panoramic sea views for diners, but the entrees came up, no lie, within 5 minutes of placing the order. It was so quick, I expected the food to have heat-lamp hangover, but that wasn't the case. What a great performance, especially in light of the Squid Lips debacle. Call before heading over.

We had already eaten dinner that night, so we decided to come back the next evening for food. There were 8 of us, and it didn't seem too busy. After waiting a few minutes, we moved a couple of tables together so our group could sit together. One of the younger employees came over and started yelling at us about moving the tables, saying it was a fire hazard. Whether or not we were supposed to move them, the way he handled it was completely unnecessary, especially with children in our group. We stayed calm and de-escalated the situation ourselves, but what bothered me most was that no other staff member stepped in or tried to help. Having an employee yelling at your group while everyone else just watches definitely puts a bad taste in your mouth. That being said, the food was good and the view is easily 5 stars. Eating and having a drink out over the water is a great experience. They serve beer in plastic cups, which isn't my favorite, but I understand the setting. Great concept, good food, and an excellent view. The staff experience was just strange and unfortunately took away from what otherwise would have been a really enjoyable night.

I ordered the Americana club sandwich (pictured) and switched out the fries for sweet potato ones - I loved it! It was very delicious and filling. Other people in my party ordered the Americana burger amongst other things not pictured. They all said they enjoyed it. My only note about this place was that when we arrived it was basically empty and even with it being empty, the food took a while to come out - much longer than you'd expect for the restaurant being slow. Other than that the overall experience was good and I do recommend going if you want a tasty sandwich/burger.

From the jump, it became one of my "if we dont know where we want to eat, go here" kind of places. Easy, consistent and delicious every single time. We started with the ahi tuna appetizer. I was apprehensive, a tuna app at a pub? Fresh fruit, ginger, tuna was seasoned well, I couldnt be happier. It was trying a well balanced poke bowl right from the start. The wings. Award winning. I am so picky about wings, so to have a place make them properly brings me to my happy place. The wings cooked well, and the buffalo sauce has a kick like its supposed to. Its been a MUST every visit. I dont even know if they have other flavors. We tried the SPECIALE PIZZETTA, and that now gets ordered every time. This place could legit be a pizza place. In an area where good pizza is hard to find, this is a perfect solution. Now Ive tried a few burgers, every burger has been seasoned perfectly and still juicy despite asking for medium well, its only a matter of what you'd like for a topping. The Village Blues burger may be my favorite so far, its the only one ive had twice. The staff is great with us, they always have new beers to try, and its a why not situation! My only ask at all would be steak frites on the menu, I think that would be made so fire in a spot like this. That said, I came to write this review thinking about them because I might just get dinner there today!
