As you enter this charming restaurant under its lovely canopy, through red double doors, you know that you will experience something special. A riot of colorful shades of red and plenty of wood surround the small reception area greet you. Large, lively French-themed art works vie for your attention. Subdued lighting calms the bright colors and art work. An attractive bar just inside the entrance entices you for cocktails. Or, sit by the fireplace and enjoy a cocktail while you listen to the live piano music performed nightly. Even dine alfresco when the weather is pleasant. Your choices are many.I made a reservation online during off-season for a Sunday evening requesting seating for two by a window at 6 PM in the main dining room. We arrived early and easily found parking in their private lot. The restaurant was not busy. We were greeted warmly and escorted to our table. Menus were handed to us as we sat down. James, our server, took our wine orders and returned with a basket of warm bread, which is shipped daily from New Jersey. He described the Chefâs Special and his own recommendation, which both sounded temping, but we were enticed to dine here for their Flavor! on the Space Coast Menu. It offered a $40 4-course price fixe dinner during the month of October. We ordered two different appetizers so that we could share; both were equally good. The six Escargots had a white wine, garlic, pesto cream sauce that was delicious. We sopped up the extra sauce with the bread; it was that good. The Calamari was a very generous portion, flash fried and served with a small pot of marinara sauce â we wished for a bit more sauce, though. We both ordered the House Salad; fresh dark greens were topped with cranberries, walnuts, tomatoes and blue cheese. It was chilled and very refreshing. We had a choice of five entrees on the Flavor! menu, but we both chose the 8-ounce USDA Filet Mignon served in a demi-glace over tender roasted fingerling potatoes. It was prepared rare to our specifications and was tender and very filling. Other choices on the Flavor! menu were Seared Salmon, Roasted Chicken, Tortellini Quattro Formaggi and Vegetarian. For dessert we ordered NY-Style Cheesecake and Key Lime Pie. My dessert came with a lit candle to celebrate my birthday. If you dine before 6:30 be sure to request the Early Dining Menu. Service throughout the meal was attentive; water glasses refilled, bread basket refreshed, even napkins refolded when we left the table. James was quite personable, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. I canât say enough about the beauty of the dining room. Tables are dressed in white linens with soft leather chairs. Large glass doors face the small side & back patios, white curtains dress the other two walls with long strands of small white lights. In the center is a striking chandelier over a large gleaming oval wood table with curtains draped around it. It is such a romantic setting. Lighting is subdued and it is a much quieter feeling than at the front area. If you want an upscale dining experience, with fine food, excellent service and a beautiful ambiance, you cannot top this restaurant. I have eaten here several times and am still impressed. Come early for a drink at the bar and stay late to listen to the piano music. As we departed, the sun was setting over the river, so we walked over to enjoy the view. It was the perfect ending for a perfect early birthday celebration.

Tried for first time after just moving to Palm Bay / Melbourne area. My wife had shrimp and I had the Grouper Onion Crusted. Both were fresh and very well cooked. Great sauces on the side for both dishes. Mashed potatoes were exceptional. Great Pineapple Cider Beer too that was locally brewed. Quality service and wait staff as well. Highly recommended, will be back to try some more fish dishes for sure!

I consider myself a regular at this casual beach like establishment because the food is so consistent. The seasonal fresh fish is always grilled perfectly, and the Caribbean-esque bowls are always satisfying. Love the plantains! Good selection of local craft beers and a staff who is always friendly and work together as a team. For casual dining you canât go wrong. Just a laid back atmosphere with quality food. Wear your Long Dogger T-shirt on Tuesday for a discount! And, oh, yeah, if in doubt try the hot dog platter. This is Long Doggers after all.

My wife heard about this spot and I have passed it hundreds of times but never stopped. So we went for lunch and it was packed but they had available seating at the bar right away which is always a plus. The service was fast and friendly, the flavor and freshness of the food was surprising and will have us being a regular.

We visited the Sunnyside Cafe for an early lunch today. The hamburgers were fantastic, especially for the price. The fresh fruit cup was a little costly for the small cup it was served in. The servers were nice. The restaurant is very popular and therefore a bit noisy. There were some outside tables, but it was too hot to sit outside. I would go back.

Had a wonderful time at Backwater - the food was EXCELLENT and much different than the other offerings we found available. They offer a "make your own pancakes" option, but, really, if you get anything there, I'm sure you'll be satisfied. We enjoyed the Bayou Benedict, the Lemon Poppyseed Pancakes, the Gator and Waffles, and the Okeechobee Ice Cream. No one left hungry for sure! The iced coffee is tasty and they provide great mimosa offerings as well. The service staff was also great - Rich was friendly, helpful, and generally delightful as he guided us through our first visit. Will definitely return in the future.

Stopped in here for dinner on a Tuesday evening. Not knowing that Tuesdays are Live music nights from 6 to 9 P.M. That being said, the place fills up very fast and it gets exceedingly loud.However, the service, food and dink here is absolutely over the top delicious. The menu is quite large and full of fantastic Irish dishes that come out of the kitchen looking wonderful. We shared a Trio Appetizer of Potato Balls, Sausage Rolls and Cabbage Wraps that were to 'die' for! Next we ordered The Pub Trinity...Shepherdâs Pie, Irish Stew, and Bangers & Mash. Served with buttered cabbage and brown bread. Holy Cow!! Talk about a lot of food....no one walks away hungry! Their Black & Tans are awesome as well.The menu is one where you could eat for a month every day and not order the same item twice. I wish that we had a restaurant like this one in our town. I would be here every day for sure.

I read the reviews for this place, and it sounded pretty good. Well, maybe their breakfast is better? I stopped by for dinner. I was going to go to one of my favorite restaurants, but the parking was terrible. So, I pulled into an available parking spot... I thought it was a message to have me try this place. My first question when I walked in was.. are you still open? I was the only customer. The restaurant itself looks very nice. I looked at the menu, and it was interesting. A bit different.. so, I decided to try their cheesesteak Cuban. That sounds interesting! Well, I hate to say this, but I swear they used Steak-Um for the meat. For a $10 sandwich, I was kind of surprised the meat looked like Steak-Um. The service was ok, but since I was the only one there... itâs hard to tell. Beer was 2-4-1, and the beer price was reasonable. Unfortunately, I was so disappointed with the sandwich, I didnât stay for my second beer.Hello Scuba-Obsession,We're happy to hear you enjoyed the atmosphere, service and your beer last night. We're sorry, however, to hear you didn't enjoy your sandwich but to assume you were served steak-Um meat is not only false but extreme. We purchase our Roast Beef whole and have it sliced for our sandwiches. We've had countless roast beef orders with happy customers. Again, we're sorry you weren't
