Our friends are in town for their anniversary and always want to go to Pompano Grill because they love the food. They even got a special anniversary card signed by the staff. The new menu is great and everything we had was amazing - Meatball appetizer, Tuna appetizer, steaks and scallops with ravioli - all excellent. Thank you Jackie and Chef Ricardo for our great meals and Austin for the exceptional service - as always.

I highly recommend this restaurant! It is a great place to take a date or meet a friend. The ambience is intimate and quaint. The food was great as well. A shout out to Kate, our server. Not only was she professional, she was personable and accommodating. She gave service like an owner would give it. I patronized the restaurant two days prior and I voiced a concern on my review. The owner immediately called me to address my concern, therefore, I returned two days later to eat again. I was not disappointed! I can't wait to return next year when I am in town.

Our favorite spot for special occasions (birthdays, V day, anniversaries, etc.). I haven’t tried anything that wasn’t delicious. Staff are always top tier. Drinks have always been on point. Ambience is great, definitely one of the best restaurant views in Melbourne. Make it in time for the early dinner special, and you’ll leave saying “wow, that was an amazing value.” I would give them a 6 out of 5 if I could!
