Restaurants near Dolphin Inn - Cocoa Beach

We were greeted at the door and seated at a high table. The restaurant is decorated sparsely. It’s small. It is dark. The kitchen is exposed, so we were able to enjoy watching the chef create. The waitress came to our table with a smile on her face. Her smile stayed throughout the evening. She was attentive and friendly. I have certain foods I cannot eat, so I asked her about some ingredients. She didn’t hesitate, and said she would want to be sure what the dishes contained, so she will ask the chef to come out and let me know. The chef, Jason, came to our table and said everything is prepared from scratch, so any accommodation would not be an issue. The menu looked so enticing. We ordered tapas style so we could try many dishes. Jason prepared each dish according to my dietary needs, and our tastes, making some dishes that were very creative, and not even on the menu. This was a thrilling dining experience. Pass the esthetics, and you’ll fulfill your senses with the outstanding food and service.

We went early evening on a Tuesday night so it was not too crowded and the noise level was low. The service was fine and the food was really good. Decent atmosphere, comfortable seating as well. One of the better restaurants in town.

Omg…a food experience!!! So amazing. The first bite was an explosion of flavors, Caribbean flair amazing!!! I wish I could describe how happy this meal and moment made me feel!! Don’t judge, literal tears :)

We love the old world feel of this restaurant. The food is always delicious. We both got lobster bisque and sauerbraten. The bisque was silky and rich, the beef was so tender, the potato dumpling was light and airy (but still substantial): red cabbage spiced just right…all so good. The waiter is a delight. He’s been there for forever and service is always top notch.

Fabulous from start to finish! We had read the reviews so we all ordered the salmon and it was excellent. The tuna appetizer and beet salad were also delicious. The martinis were excellent, a generous pour. We will definitely go back again the next time we visit Cocoa Beach.
