We sat outside and watched dolphins in the Banana River. Service was quick and helpful and waitress always made sure our drinks were full. Reasonably priced and plenty of parking. There are enough choices you could come back again and again.

This was the worst experience I have had at a restaurant in Cocoa Beach. I am on vacation with a group and my friends and I decided this was a good place to eat because of the reviews left on the site and the location being a waterfront. However, I am very disappointed in the service and food provided to us. Our server was very short and awkward and did not check in on us at all. We got appetizers that came out two minutes before our food because she did not put it in. Same goes for the food, she walked up and asked what my order was twenty minutes after we told her leaving us to realize that our food was still not put into the system. I ordered the chicken tenders that were listed as fried and crispy. They came out as the picture shown. They were cold in the middle and tasted like frozen dinosaur nuggets. I then asked the women if they were the appetizer being what I ordered and she claimed they were. It was not good and I did not eat any of it and told her I was not satisfied and was still charged when I did get anything like the description shown on the menu. I was then served soggy sweet potato fries. This is not the end, it only gets worse. My friend shared her chicken Cesar salad and the chicken had a rubber feel and was impossible to even bite. My other friends got shrimp Alfredo that came out cold. I don't eat shrimp but I was told that frozen shrimp from Walmart was better. To top it all off, we received messed up checks. Decided to just pay them wrong and then got them back not informed that there was a service charge as well as a credit card fee after being unaware that cash would not have this fee added. The website states outdoor heated seating while it was freezing and the fans were all on. To sum it up this was absolutely terrible and I would never recommend it to anyone.

The view here is pretty nice and my waitress was attentive and nice.The food was below average. The fries were soggy and cold. The cheese was weirdly melted on the burger which had absolutely no flavor. I didn’t eat the coleslaw because it didn’t even look appetizing to meThe drink was okay but not anything I would ever get again.I also had the clam chowder which was okay. It was lukewarm when I got it.

Came here for Anniversary dinner and was not disappointed. We were lucky enough to be there at Sunset. It is named Sunset Cafe and obviously it is a special time there (including a song). Food was very good. We had Grouper entree and Mahi mahi entree. A bit pricey but your paying for the package including a live band! I only wish they had pitchers of beer but our waitress kept up with us. ? The menu with Toucan is most recent!

Very disappointed. Three of us ordered the bisque which all of them came out cold…. I was very nice and asked for it to be reheated. They came back lukewarm. I did not complain. My first drink was great the second they gave me was a rail vodka and I asked for grey goose. I said I didn’t care for it and asked for wine instead. I got major attitudes from the bartenders that were originally nice…. Just a sad experience bc I wasn’t trying to be difficult. But I want what I’m paying for!!

Best Grouper Sandwich around! Fas and Friendly staff and the view of the Banana River is amazing. Well worth the visit.

It was a beautiful day right around lunchtime when this group of three girls were hungry. The restaurant was very busy and there was a bit of a wait which was expected at that time of day. Our server Tracey was a joy. She was working so many tables, but was courteous, friendly and attentive. We all ordered the grouper sandwiches and they were amazing. Just melted in our mouths. The view was nice too and we saw dolphins frolicking in the water. A great place to stop as you’re heading east, and almost at the beach.

We had eaten next door but decided to try to go last minute to see the sunset. The reviews for food were so so and the food is so so. We ordered a shrimp cocktail and seafood combo which we ordered blackened and includes grouper, shrimp and a crab cake. The fun part was the view and the fun music. The big shout out is to CJ who was our server. He was quick to greet us and friendly. The table next to us (a large group) left and as he was cleaning, the ticket that the customer signed flew into the water and sadly we watched it float way. I wanted to jump in for him but my better judgement told me not to.. ha. Anyway, I am not sure how that works with the business but if he had to account for the ticket like it seemed, he still kept a great attitude the rest of the time we were there. We tipped quite a bit extra to try to help make up for the lost ticket. Even if he didn't have to pay for their food, the amount of the tip was long gone in the water.. Bottom line, go for sunset and ask for CJ to serve you!

Very chill atmosphere, great music and the seafood is awesome! Conch fritters and crab cakes run on the bready side. They had snow crab legs on special (not usually on the menu) and they were the best I had in a long time. Key lime pie is spot on. Highly recommend sunset cafe

Nice view of the waterway. Slight downgrade for a total lack of awareness of beers beyond the bud/miller type trash. Food was good, had the lunch special fish and chips. Fresh taste and great fries.
