Yellow Dog Cafe

Perfect evening. Perfect dinner. I am going back on Thursday for lunch.

Great location for our team dinner, fantastic service and wonderfully prepared local seafood.

My wife and I always have a very pleasurable experience at Yellow Dog. We've never been disappointed. You just have to go!

I had the duck on Thanksgiving. It was great. The dessert was a little disappointing.

Another outstanding experience thanks to David (Mgr), Michelle (bartender) Danny (Server) and Jason (Pantry).

The meal was outstanding for our party of seven for a birthday!!! The Yellow Dog is ALWAYS exceptional!

Another consistently great experience. Excellent crab bisque, Chilean sea bass, salad and dessert. I almost forgot, professionally-crafted martini and a glass of Rodney Strong Chardonnay. This is a must experience venue for foodies.

Our son lives in Melbourne & asked that we meet him at Yellow Dog for his 34th Birthday celebration. His father and I had never been to Yellow Dog before. The atmosphere is cozy (upper level) and of course river-view was exquisite! The service was impeccable and the food was awesome! My son and I enjoyed the lamb, and his Dad enjoyed the Salmon special that night. I don't think any of our plates needed to go thru the dishwasher! We ordered the chocolate brownie with ice cream... so delicious - and served with a candle to celebrate Drew's birthday. This will NOT be our last visit!

Overall a great experience;

This is our second time here and we love it. They happened to have a happy hour at the bar, so we took the outside seating and thought it was so cute outside that we stayed there for dinner. The view was just amazing and the weather was also perfect (late Oct). She ordered steam and lobster and I had a burger, we also had 3 appetizers and she indulged in their cosmo's. Everything was absolutely delicious and we are already planning on bringing our friends there for double dates. It was that good. Enjoy!

Love the Yellow Dog. Great place for a special evening on the water.

Excellent meal for our anniversary.

This was our first time visiting Yellow Dog, and it did not disappoint. Every course we had out did the next, and the drinks were delicious. We had the corn fritters to start, followed by the Potato Crusted Salmon & Onion Crusted Chicken. We ended with the Pecan Cheesecake for dessert, which was simply astounding. Our server Lauren was so sweet and professional. We will make sure to ask for her every time we come in for dinner. We can’t wait for our next visit to Yellow Dog!

Took a good friend for lunch to celebrate her birthday. We were seated in a room upstairs at the end that had lots of windows overlooking the river and had only our table in it. Wonderful place to chat with a feeling of privacy. We had salads, the soup of the day (a delicious pumpkin cauliflower) and desserts. Service was as good as the food. Yellow Dog never disappoints!

Thank you for another great experience !

Seated in lovely quiet room with one table. Very quiet, romantic and perfect for dinner with hubby

Always impeccable food and service. Defintely a pride in ownership with the chef/owner who always takes the time to talk with every table.

Absolutely delicious beautiful water view! Chef took time out to come to every table and ask about the quality of the food! Food mmmm was so good got lamb chops; veggies and potatoes; great drinks and yummy cheesecake❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Excellent in all categories. This is a great place to go for an outstanding meal, good conversation, panoramic views of the water and warm, quiet ambience.

The brie appetizer and the bread pudding were outstanding!

Service is attentive and polite. The food is exquisite and nicely presented. Each course got better than the previous one, we started with the escargots, very well done and presented with puff pastry which is unique. The salad and soups were also unique and homemade breads were warm and fluffy with unique flavor combination. My scallop entree were cooked perfectly in a delicious sauce and risotto was great pairing. We sat on the back porch with nice river views and quiet, relaxing ambiance. Definitely recommend it

Hands down the best food we have eaten in the Melbourne area during the last year. Simone was very knowledgeable and attentive. Highly suggest asking to sit at her table if you go there to dine.

Great food and service. More upscale than most restaurants on the Treasure Coast. Great place for a special dinner. My Filet Mignon was cooked perfectly. Wife and friend had the special fish dish and said it was great.

Excellent restaurant! It is our favorite place to go for a superb evening of food, drink, and friendship.

Excellent staff, service food and ambiance! Highly recommend! Try to Conch Fritters, best I have ever eaten!

Anniversary Date

Always a wonderful experience at Yellow Dog. We make it a priority to observe special occasions here. Service is first class and the food is extraordinary.

Don’t have any doubts about outside look!!!! Interior it’s totally different compare to outside! Very good menu. Very good quality for money !! Great service and view! Enjoy !!

This is my favorite go-to restaurant for taking out of town guests for high quality food, ambience and the view! The fish is always perfectly cooked and the meatloaf is worth the trip as are the potato cakes. The Caesar Salad is lovely and they always ask if you want anchovies. The summer salad with watermelon was delightfully different. Wine selection is top notch and save room for the delicious made-in-house desserts.

As always, the food was delicious and our server, Tara, was very attentive.

Excellent food!! From the Crab Bisque, Conch Fritters to the Lobster Stuffed Salmon and Filet Mignon, delicious, prepared to perfection! Desserts are made on premise, Raspberry Cheesecake Creme Brûlée was decadent!!! It is pricey, but, well worth it!! Buon Appetite!!!

Upon entering the restaurant we were pleasantly surprised at the ambiance. We drove by so times and we were unimpressed by the look of the front building. BUT the Dining Room, the Bar, the view of the kitchen and the covered terrace are fantastic! The menu offers a great variety of choices, the food was cooked perfectly, from the vegetables to the sauces and Seafood. The service was attentive and courteous. We will definitely return to enjoy a relaxing dinner and evening out!

The food is average and certainly not worth the price. I think you're paying for the view which is best in daylight. Dessert was the best part of the meal. I'd go back only for dessert and drinks.

We had the most fabulous evening! Great staff and the most spectacular food! Can’t wait to go again, it’s my favorite restaurant!

Reservation was for outdoor seating. Got seated indoor on top level. Didn’t push it due to Anniversary dinner, but lots of open seating available outdoor.

The entire experience was perfect. We had the set menu for$35. The serving sizes were regular size. Our server was awesome. Everything was cooked perfectly. A very enjoyable evening.

Second time here, and it was flawless. Can’t wait to return.

Old fashioned and cozy spot for a good meal and great service.
Red wine list by the glass needs upgrading.

Visited for lunch. Nice table with white linen over looking river. Free and friendly valet parking. No viable self parking option. Dining room host escorts you to your table. Professional, prompt table service. Excellent food presentation in upscale atmosphere. Nice lunch menu. Can't go wrong.

View was destroyed by a torrential downpour but everything inside was 5 star.
