I can’t believe we’ve lived here for an entire year and never came here to eat. This was one of the best restaurants we’ve been to so far in the cocoa beach area. Our server, Jasmine, was so sweet and took wonderful care of us. We ordered chicken tacos, mashed potatoes, and the catch of the day. (swordfish) I’m not somebody who typically enjoys eating fish, but let me tell you this was the best fish I have ever eaten in my life. The food was wonderful, the ambience was fantastic, the service was exquisite, and the food was to die for. I couldn’t rave about this place more. We will be coming here much more from now on.

Can I give 6 stars?? Great quality food and fast service and a waterfront atmosphere, who can ask for more? Dinner location located on the side of a river featuring live music, friendly & helpful wait staff, and really chill vibe. A lot of restaurants in touristy areas are glitter with little substance. This place must be built for locals. Food was fresh, drinks were just right, and the team was on point. Grilled chicken sandwich, wings, tacos, fries with key lime pie for dessert. Very very fun time! My recommendation for the #1 bar & grill in this part of FL!

Great atmosphere, delicious food and excellent service! Had the salmon poke bowl, it was scrumptious. The live music was pleasant. The Key Lime Pie is the best I’ve had, it is an absolute must if you have a sweet tooth! The coffee was good but a better grade would take it up a notch. Overall I loved my dining experience here. I would definitely bring the family here for a relaxing evening on the water.

First time trying out the Dolphin Waterfront Rest & Bar. Went in the afternoon and it was pretty crowded for a weekday afternoon. It’s a nice waterfront location but a little difficult to get into off Courtney. The food was fantastic, what we ordered anyway. Fish Sandwich and a Pork Sandwich with Macaroni salad. The key Lime pie was the best we have ever had Wow! The Caesar salad dressing was really amazing as well. The atmosphere was just right not too loud. Service was also amazing. I don’t know about the other food but if ours was an indication it’s pretty good we will definitely be back.

Dolphins restaurant is an amazing outdoor seating restaurant overlooking Canaveral Barge Canal. We ordered multiple appetizers and off the kids menu. The daily ceviche and tuna nachos were amazing and fresh. Thankful that I found this place based off the Google reviews and can’t wait to come back.

Wow this place is tucked in right on the water. The atmosphere and service make this place. There was amazing live music while we were there on a Friday night. Check their website for more details. The food was good. Any time you have fresh fish cook to order, it’s fantastic. The pork was super tender and flavorful. We enjoyed the pineapple salsa and guacamole with chips. The blackened chicken was delicious I’m the tiki tacos but the avocado crème was a little odd. Had like a undesirable flavor making it taste like hand sanitizer. No shade but just not a fan. Drinks we large for the price. I did like the sauce that came with the pork. The fresh blackened mahi-mahi was cooked to perfection. And the best for last, that key lime pie was to die for! Definitely worth a try and if we are by here again, we’d definitely come back!

This is not the beach scene, it’s the boat scene. Situated along the canal in Merritt Island. Excellent drink and full menu. Fresh seafood and awesome burgers. Lots of gluten friendly options. Great atmosphere. Popular place to chill along the canal and watch the boat traffic. Dock along the canal if you approach from the waterside.
