    We arrived at our reservation on time. We were turned away told we could not be seated for 30 minutes. That person told another person, who came over to us, because we were not leaving, we had an Open Table reservation. The second person seated us! The booth was uncomfortable for me, my alternative was to have my back to the entire room. We asked to move to another table, there were many empty tables. We were told that was impossible, they were reserved. Obviously, that made so sense. There was no attempt to make us more comfortable.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your version of the evening. There was a brief mix-up at check-in due to two reservations under the same last name, 30 minutes apart. Once clarified, you were seated at your assigned table. While other tables may have appeared empty, our small dining room and carefully planned seating chart didn’t allow for last-minute swaps. We understand you found the booth uncomfortable, though no alternative arrangements could be made without disrupting other guests. Despite our attempts to assist and clarify, your demeanor remained unnecessarily combative, which made it difficult to improve your experience. Hospitality goes both ways. We hope you find a restaurant more aligned with your expectations—and seating preferences.

    Good and service were great. According to reviews we read it was listed under romantic restaurant and it is not romantic at all! The atmosphere is not romantic and for the prices I would never go back.
    Pompano GrillResponded on July 11, 2025
    Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We’re glad you enjoyed the service—our team truly takes pride in providing a thoughtful and attentive experience, and we’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to your server, Austin (even if his name escaped you). We understand that ambiance is subjective. While we may not have white tablecloths, many of our guests appreciate our cozy, unpretentious setting paired with upscale, scratch-made cuisine—which has earned us a consistent 4.9 out of 5.0 rating on OpenTable and recognition as one of the top-rated restaurants in Cocoa Beach. We realize not every environment suits every preference, and that’s okay. We sincerely appreciate your visit and wish you the best in finding a setting more in line with your expectations.

    Freshest, best prepared fish in Cocoa beach. Excellent wine selection. Would reduce level of nutmeg in sauce accompanying the scallops and lobster ravioli.
