The Fat Snook

Our server “Tanner” was terrific. He had knowledge about the menu and described and recommended items. We ordered the Papusa Con Curtido, Corn bread, Farmers Market Pasta and the Wild Blue Crab Feature. The Papusa was disappointing. It tasted and looked like hamburger versus steak. The crab feature was good but a bit dry. However the cornbread was sensational! Moist and flavorful topped with butter. We all loved the market pasta. Beautiful display, incredible taste, and surprisingly awesome local mushrooms. I was a bit disappointed there was no bread served with the pasta. All three of us got dessert. Two of us enjoyed the pear cake which was moist, with pears in the center topped of with a delicate sweet crumble. It was served with a small dab of ( what looked like) creamy gelato. The portion was small in size but delicious. My companion ordered the gluten free chocolate cake. It was very dry and crumbled when touched with a fork. No one in my party enjoyed it. All three of us were shocked when viewing our bill. The desserts alone were $45.00! The service was remarkable. Our server never missed a beat. He had excellent knowledge of the menu and described it well. All of us were impressed with his “flawless “ serving skills. The ambience was not that great. We sat on the patio in front of a noisy air conditioner. The atmosphere outside didn’t seem to complement the menu. Also, I was surprised to see the relaxed uniforms the server and hostess wore. Their uniforms didn’t seem to pair with the menu at all! The menu was a bit pricey and portions were small however it had tasty , unique items. I am sure I will go back again. My next visit I will make sure to question the dessert prices! Also, I will sit inside!

Holy snook! This was a delicious dining experience! We were in Cocoa Beach for a few days and decided we wanted to eat at a nice restaurant for our last night in town. We asked for the patio, even though it was cold-ish,. (We are going back to where it is 15 degrees). They set us up with our own personal heater. The patio was lovely and service was top-notch. The food was amazing. I had halibut and the fish was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The vegetable medley of brussel sprouts, sweet potato & squash was delicious and seasoned in a creative way - Parmesan cheese and mustard (which maybe doesn’t sound the best, but it was divine!). Hubs enjoyed his duck entree. The pumpkin cheesecake mousse deserves a mention. It’s difficult to find gluten free desserts that are worth having. This cheesecake was like a pumpkin pie only 50 times better. Hubs are the chocolate pretzel bark that was placed in a separate bowl and it was delicious. Highly recommend !!!!
