Went to the Tulip for Thanksgiving as well as Chrismas Eve dinner. Have loved it both times. The bacon wrapped pork loin is to die for. Great wait staff each time. Always attentive and nice. Pricey, but worthy of the price
New chef, lively decor, and great atmosphere. Come in for a casual dinner or dress up for a romantic evening. Either way you will be highly satisfied for what this restaurant has to offer. The menu now changes seasonally, but does still include their signature entrees like the escargot topped with homemade hollandaise, or the roasted half duckling. The fresh seafood that comes in daily always has a fantastic preparation with a seasonal flare. They are known for being highly expensive, but, the prices do compare to any chain restaurant around the area, like carrabas for instance. If you haven't came in yet or have had a bad experience in the past, I would highly recommend trying this restaurant out again. You can tell from the owners, to the waiters, and especially the chefs there is lots of love being put into this restaurant from the food to the wonderful atmosphere. Now, don't take my word for it, try it out for yourself.
Ambience was warm and inviting. Owner greeted us and seated us. Owner and staff all super friendly and attentive. Oh and the food was absolutely delicious! My wife and I both did the 3-course dinner. She has the tomato basil bisque and talked about how delicious it was rest of the night. I had the French onion soup. Also scratch made and delicious! We then both had the catch of the day and seasonal Parmesan crusted swordfish. Perfectly prepared, moist, and seasoned. The sautéed green beans and peppers 🤤 she then finished with bread pudding and I finished with key lime pie. Both scratch made. Truly a wonderful experience!

This was my first time, and my wifr had not been there in many years. Yes is is always my fault. We canm out with friends who always spend special occasions there. It was Cinco de Mayo. The menu was a five course dinner with wine pairings. We started with a small jalapeño margarita. Flavorful, sweet, and just enough spice. First course was a Mexican Pozole paired with a Ryder Estate Chardonnay. The presentation was perfect. The flavors were beautifully blended. Second course was a Tex Mex Chop Salad was paired with Grounded Sauvingnon Blanc. The salad was beautiful, tasty, and the Chipotle ranch was out of this world. Third course was Tacos al Pastor was wonderfully paired with a Ryder Pinot Noir. The pork, pineapple salsa, and pickled onions paired perfectly and was fantastic. The fourth course was a NY strip paired with a Ruca Malen Malbec. Flavor pairing was spot on. Fifth course was Tres Leches paired with a Ricco Mango Moscato. The Tres Leches was light and out of this world. I had substituted for the key lime pie. I have no words of how good the key lime pie tasted. I can tell you this is a must try place. I can't wait to try different things.
Had the sword fish and seafood pasta. Sangria was very good and smoooth. Everything was delicious. Will be back...
5 stars is not enough. We went to their Italian wine and food pairing dinner and were blown away by every aspect: service, wine, food...and they made us feel like family. This is a gem in our little Cocoa Village.
The Tulip hosted an AMAZING wedding reception for us this weekend. Can’t recommend them enough. Tonya was super accommodating in whatever we wanted to do. The staff wanted our event to be the best it could possibly be and did everything they could to make it happen. The service and food (30 sirloin steaks, perfectly done! Along with delicious chicken and fish dishes) were beyond expectations and the service was impeccable. Toasts in the dining room, food, dancing, wine bar, sparklers, all made for a wonderful event for my daughter the bride. Thank you Tonya!
Such an amazing experience with the 5 course dinner with wine pairing. Everyone was extremely friendly. Food was delicious. Wine was amazing. We will keep coming back
The restaurant has old world charm. The original Chef/ owner even greets and engages with you. Food was excellent, we enjoyed a Filet and a seafood special "Corvina". Best seafood plating I have ever had...almond crusted, sweet salsa topped, drizzled with jalapeno aoli. Spectacular. 3 course price fixe menu...app/entree/desert all for 1 price. Overall great 😍🤩
Had a great dinner with my family and friends. The food was excellent the atmosphere was great. The owner and staff made us feel like family. Each of us had different plates and we all had great things to say about each dish. This was a restaurant that I did not hear much about but I am glad we tried it out. Thank you Daniel and staff.

I generally don't give 5 stars to a restaurant, and although the food here is excellent it's not the reason. I give this place 5 stars because of the staff and owner.
The first time my wife and I went there our waiter Chad was absolutely great. He knew his craft and provided the type of service one would expect at a Ramsay restaurant in Manhattan (which is incidentally where I've seen the absolute best example of customer service).
Eventually, Daniel the owner came out to make sure everything was good. This man is a born restaurateur. He seemed to genuinely care. He loves his restaurant and it shows, and we won't complain about the complimentary drinks he brought us personally that came with a nice story to boot.
My wife went back there a second time with others and reported that they were once again given the royal treatment. She brought a meal home for me and even reheated the food was once again excellent.
The chef here likes to modernize classics and she does it with a deft hand. Further, everything was generally cooked correctly and well-seasoned. A little too much oil in one dish and a slightly off ingredient choice in one appetizer were the only noticeable flaws in an otherwise excellent meal, and they were minor flaws to be sure.
You go to a restaurant to enjoy food in a nice atmosphere with good people. This restaurant knocks it out of the park. Thank you Daniel and Chad, we will absolutely be back!
Absolutely amazing as always! The best service and food you can encounter.
