    A reservation only spot which at this local gem fill quickly. Nice space off the main areas of the beach. Greeted at the door, we did have a reservation, and seated quickly. We were the first of the evening. Good selection of beer and wine. The menu has the perfect size of offerings with things from land and see.

    Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're so glad you enjoyed your evening with us — from the warm welcome to the food and drink selection. Just a quick note: while we’re not a reservation-only restaurant, reservations are definitely the best way to secure a table, especially since we do fill up quickly at our little "hidden gem"! We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to see you again soon for another great night at Pompano Grill! 💛🥂

    We live in Cocoa Beach and this was our first time at Pompano Grill. Wonderful experience! I had indicated during the reservation process that it was our anniversary. When we arrived there was a really nice hand written note on our table. Really nice touch! All aspects of our dinner were spot on. We loved the food (the fish specials were amazing), wine and service! The service was at a nice comfortable and relaxed pace. And the restaurant seating is nicely spaced and comfortable. We will certainly be back!

We’re especially thrilled to welcome locals like you for the first time, and we can’t wait to have you back again soon! 💛🍷🎉

    There aren't enough words to describe how wonderful of an experience we had last night at the Pompano Grill. From the warm welcome from Austin to the chef doting on us to make us feel special. Not to mention the food was out of this world! The chef made us the fish special which was the halibut but the double bonerd pork chop. The brussel sprouts were outstanding. We were a little leery about trying them because they had sriracha in them so what did the chef do he brought out a sample for us to taste before we made the order. That's service!! No doubt the next trip over to Cape Canaveral will include a meal at the Pompano Grill

    We were blown away by our experience at the Pompano. Everyone who interacted with us were very nice and our server was awesome! The food was out of this world. I had the grouper special while my husband had a wagyu steak that was cooked to perfection. If you’re going to eat anywhere in Cocoa Beach, it needs to be here. We will definitely be coming back again when we are in town.

     Always a delicious dinner at Pompano Grill. Try the brie appetizer with a wedge salad and fresh grouper entrée. Don’t forget the crème brûlée.

    Wait staff very pleasant and helpful. All of our selections were outstanding. A bit overpriced, but I’d certainly eat there again!
