  • Absolutely fabulous. Our waiter Tim was fabulous, attentive, engaging and knowledgeable. Food was so good. What a great experience. We will be back. A must stop while in the area. — retiredfelix

  • Fabulous fish, fabulous everything! I consult Tripadvisor for most, if not all our travels in the continental US and abroad; Accomodations & restaurants mainly. Being from California, I know nothing about the Cocoa Beach Florida area! Of course consulted TA for our dinner location this evening and, tagged as the #1 spot was Floridas Fresh Grill! It was pure heaven! — SamaM283

  • Our last day of our vacation and this was the best restaurant we ate at. Chase our waiter was excellent, made some great recommendations that were spot on. Would definitely recommend this restaurant and when we come back we will be definitely eating here. — Michael C
