Pompano Grill

Really fantastic dinner! We had just arrived in Florida (so quite jet-lagged) and came across this place. Ceasar salad (with shrimp) was delicious… Carbonara also really good. Dessert menu looked attractive - went for the raspberry sorbet which was really nice. Our server, Austin, was friendly and professional with a clear enthusiasm for the food. I highly recommend Pompano - we had a great experience and hope to return!

Fabulous fine dining hidden gem in Cocoa Beach! I highly recommend this restaurant! This fresh seafood, steak and pasta restaurant is top notch on all levels. The service was outstanding and our server (Austin?) was very professional and made us feel so welcomed. Every staff member we encountered was great. The food was so delicious, I will always dine here when I visit in the future! Very quaint yet upscale with a relaxing atmosphere, make reservations and find out for yourself!

Pompano Grill is by far one of the best restaurants in Cocoa Beach, and one of the best in this whole area of Florida! It is worth quite the drive for - it’s that good! First off, you pretty much have to make reservations here as it is very small and will almost always be completely filled unless you’re one of the last tables of the evening. Be prepared it’s pretty noisy! The only times we’ve had it quieter were when we selected one of the last reservation times of the evening. Just something to know if you’re wanting to plan a romantic dinner that evening! On to the food, this is one of those places where EVERYTHING on the menu is exceptional. We’ve visited here many times and tried pretty much everything and I can honestly say there has been nothing I’ve been disappointed with. They hit the nail on the head every time we visit! Their appetizers are amazing - the millionaire bacon is literally caramelized sweet & spicy bacon covered in gold flake. Literally the BEST bacon I’ve ever had and a must-try!! The bread is soft, warm, and comes with an awesome butter (the butter flavor changes every once in a while). The lobster (or crab) deviled eggs take deliver eggs to the next level - deviled eggs aren’t for everyone, but if you like them, you should DEFINITELY try them. And the deep-fried brie cheese…oh my LORD it is amazing! A massive chunk of fried brie cheese topped with their famous bacon, berries, pecans, jam, and more!! Another must-try!! Their escargot is incredible as well! I love escargot and this is some of the best escargot I’ve ever had before as well. Finally, the smoked fish dip tastes super smoky and so fresh - I love fish dip and Pompano Grill makes an amazing one. But if I had to choose 2 appetizers for your first visit, the deep-fried brie and millionaire bacon are a MUST! On to other food, they have one of the best Caesar salads I’ve ever had, their steaks are always a favorite when we take guests here, truffle fries are always a home run, but the seafood is really some of their best options. They always have 2 special fish of the day prepared in very unique ways, and many times it’s a fish you’ve never heard of before or a preparation you never would’ve even thought was possible! Their creamy shrimp pasta is filling, amazing, and something I would literally have every day, and we’ve taken guests here before that say Pompano Grill’s scallops are the biggest and best they’ve ever had. Moral of the story: you can order pretty much anything and have a wonderful meal! Finally, desserts are another category that is over-the-top at Pompano Grill. They have a dessert chef in-house who creates all the desserts fresh right then and there and they have had some AMAZING selections of the years. Make sure to save room for dessert because they are so good! I just can’t recommend this place enough. You’ll love Pompano Grill!
