Does Sunset Grill allow dogs outside?

Yes, in the outside seating area.

Can you see the merritt island boat parade from here?

Can’t see Merritt Island Boat Parade!!! You can see Cocoa Beach Boat Parade

Do they have a happy hour menu

Think the menu is OK.. drinks can be pricey.

What is the song at sunset?

OMG, the song is sung by Sarah Brighton, I think that is her last name. And I believe that she was, or is, married to David Foster. Silly me, I am not sure if I have his name correct either. I am going to look up the name of the song on GOOGLE right now. And while I do that, I will look up the people who perform it. I really should know this anyway. So, sit tight. I will be right back.

Does sax appeal play here?

Sorry...not sure if they do...however, there is always good entertainment

Is there kereoke

Yes

Is the Sunset Grill hiring?

I'm not sure, calling them directly would be best

One of my girls has a seafood allergy. Do you know if they have a separate fryer food the seafood and chicken?

They do but make sure you let the server know how important it is so they can tell the cook just to be sure. Enjoy the view

Do you take reservations

It's always more crowded between 4-6 but we've always gotten a table without much waiting

Tyde B. (our server) was the only Pro of our visit and, the only reason for a three star rating. The food was mediocre at best. I hope once the inside remodeling is done that someone will be keeping the bathrooms clean. If I had used the bathroom before eating, we wouldn't have stayed to eat! We didn't have an alcoholic beverage but, based on our experience, I would say this is a place to come to when you want to enjoy a drink while looking out at the river.

This was our 2nd time ever going, and trying to give the benefit of doubt. We arrived 10 minutes before kitchen opened which was fine. The bar was opened serving cocktails. We were seated at a table. Received our ice tea. I noticed servers wearing masks below their noses. A couple after us came in was seated, received their waters. For some reason they left. Server removed the glasses But never wiped table down after they left. We ordered 2 appetizers. The Conch was nearly burnt, potato skins mediocre at best, not very hot I'll add, for a kitchen just opening for the day. Pretty safe to say We will NOT BE RETURNING.

The food was good. Most staff were wearing masks, not all, and seating socially distanced on the patio, which was great. This was important to us if we ate out due to the rising Covid-19 numbers. We greatly appreciate this. They were one of a few restaurants open right now. I don't recommend the frozen drinks. They had very little flavor and tasted just like crushed ice and nothing else, it was terrible. They were from a machine that was low on flavor.

The waitress (#331 Paula R) was HORRIBLE, she didn't come back once to check on us to see how the food was or if we needed anything- salt and pepper, refills, etc. For the price of an entree- I'd rather eat Red Lobster! Will NOT be returning. Even asked to speak to a manager finally just got up and left when no manager came out. Terrible service!!!

The atmosphere, food, and service were excellent. Our waitress Lexi was warm, knowledgeable, and professional. The food was well seasoned and perfectly prepared. The restaurant is lovely. It's right by the water, with both indoor and open air seating. The sunset view is amazing.

Really disappointing experience, we ordered champagne as we were celebrating purchase of our new home, however they didn't sell bottles of champagne only small bottles of cava that the server forgot to bring us, so we couldn't celebrate. We ordered Mahi Mahi and the fish platter the portions were tiny, I ordered broccoli on the side but it came out mixed with other vegetables and was buttered and sautéed after I specifically ordered it steamed. The meal came to $80 for two that was with no appetisers or desert, you would expect a bigger fish for this price. The view and ambience is amazing but the food and service on this occasion really let this place down.

We visited on Friday about 2 pm. We had our tiny dog with us. The hostess was very snotty. Told us she would seat us this time because they weren’t busy but next time we better have papers. Our waitress was wonderful and very sweet to our little dog. The conch fritters were excellent but the wings were the worse we ever had. Most likely will never visit again.

Unfortunately I'm not sure why but me and my partner waited an hour and 10 minutes for our food I watched 3 or 4 other groups come in sit down eat talk and have dessert and leave after paying the check before we even saw our food paid 25 for the grouper shrimp and crab cake and the crab cake was imitation at real crab price and tasted not very good at all and the fish was okay and got a few decent shrimp and all together the portions nor the food was worth the price we also got the shrimp alfredo which I must admit was delicious filling and decently priced but overall I wouldnt reccomend coming here I'm not sure what caused us to be forgotten and left waiting for so long or why we were charged so much for terribly portioned food but that was our experience.

Very nice location overseeing the waterway with plenty of open outdoor seating. Service was great, food is average - crab cakes are rather bland and missing lump crab meat one would usually expect. Parking is challenging, prices are a bit steep relative to quality.

It is ok, nothing great nothing bad. Just average quality and service priced like a top restaurant. On the check don't list "service charge" but for sure when you hand your cc they charge it for an extra $ 3.95 "service charge". Would be nice if stated somewhere before the cc charge ... on the menu ? a simple sign at entrance ? Not the way to do it

Food was amazing ! We were a party of 14 all of us consumed food to at least deserve to be granted a very petit request. We asked if they could sing happy B day to both of my children and the waitress said NO because "it's not today." Their b day is tomorrow july 4 and its 9:46 pm.Really ! They broke our children's hearts. 😒

Went here for the first time beautiful view of the water. The food however was overcooked and I do mean all of the food! Our waiter Ty said that he would let the manager know but no one ever came out to our table to discuss the meal. When we received our check everything was at full price! Not that I was looking for charity, but come on at least acknowledge the over cooked meal. We won't be back !

I think the food is good, great atmosphere. But they don’t let us fish on the place where tons of people tend to fish. There have things built for fishing on the dock and they don’t let us fish. The dock is a good 15ft long and they think that we would hook someone.

I want to start by saying this place had the potential for a 4 star review, until I watched the discomfort of my bartender being scolded by a manager (shorter male) over not turning on the patio lights. From what I observed, suddenly she got very busy as people sat with her for a beverage waiting for tables, then decided that they would just put their food orders with her. I don't know what happened to her after that, but my experience went downhill from there. My crabcakes sandwich was mushy (not sure if there was any crab in it) the clam chowder tasted like tin can. I honestly felt so uncomfortable for the young lady that was taking care of us, up until that point. I just hope that she didn't get fired over lights. She was the best thing about this place, itd be a shame of they let her go! Management should never belittle an employee like that, ESPECIALLY in front of guests. VERY unprofessional!

This place is so amazing! The outside has an unforgettable ambiance, from the outdoor seating, to the gorgeous sunsets and the key west type vibe, and the music was spot on. The food was delicious and the drinks made be feel like I was in the Bahamas. Exactly what we were looking for and we will be back.
