Reviews For Brevardian Riverfront

We enjoyed Brevardian Riverfront very much! It's a small, unassuming place tucked away off of Eau Gallie 's Pineapple Ave historic area. The outside dining is comfortable with a beautiful view of the water, surrounded by flowering tropical trees and palms. The staff are all exceptionally polite and pleasant . Their menu is a fresh break from the normal selections. They offer many options, from appetizers to desserts. It is considered fine casual dining, so be prepared to spend a little extra. Every morsel was worth it! We were served fresh, homemade kettle chips with a homemade chive dip as a complimentary starter, and we chose fresh oysters direct from local Sebastian-they were delicious. We had fresh shucked, as well as fresh shucked, topped with pickled pearl onions. Delicious! For entrees, we chose the Brevardian Smash Burger and the Floridian Etoufee with a side of gruyere grits. Desserts were Key Lime cheesecake and peanut butter pie. Go give them a try! You won't be disappointed

What a great dining experience ! My husband & I enjoyed lunch outside on the patio area with beautiful views of the river. I ordered the fish tacos and my husband got the fish sandwich, catch of the day was "triple tail". A delicious white flakey fish cooked to perfection ! I can't wait to go back and have dinner. Such a lovely & charming restaurant !!

My husband and I celebrated our Anniversary last night at the Brevardian it was absolutely perfect! We enjoyed excellent and attentive service from Nick at the bar where we savored Florida Sunset cocktails as well the real sunset on the river. Our server, Lisa, was well informed and spot on with her recommendations. Our meal was both beautiful and delicious! We chose oysters on the half shell prepared three ways, our main entree was the Grouper Risotto, and then we were pleasantly surprised with a delicious gorgeous Anniversary cake and dessert sampling! Chef Gauge introduced himself and we thanked him for his delicious delights!!! The ambiance is picturesque and cozy right on the river with a lovely young musician, Miranda. Thank you for a perfect evening and celebration! We will definitely be back and recommend the Brevardian Riverfront to our friends and family!

A true hidden gem with beautiful waterfront dining on the Indian river. The menu had so many amazing options I had at least 3 mains I was eyeing. The restaurant presented a wonderful assortment of specials to choose from. Our men had the pork chops and my friend had the grouper and I had the Ropa and grits. It was a cold night so I ordered the cauliflower soup, which was delicious and had just the right amount of cheesiness to it. Our waiter said it was about a 6/10 on creamy scale and he was right. The cornbread crab cakes were yummy and the corn bread and cream cheese that was given to us when we were seated was a nice touch. Our waiter Nathaniel was super friendly and made the experience even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this restaurant for anybody who wants delicious food. We all devoured everything off our plates.

An Unforgettable Dining Experience I had the pan-seared grouper served over beet risotto with a butternut cream sauce, topped with microgreens—an absolute flavor masterpiece. I started with the Brevardian Caesar Salad, which was next-level thanks to the smoked anchovy dressing. My friend ordered the red snapper special, and it was both huge and delicious, paired beautifully with broccolini and a light lemon dill sauce. For dessert, I chose the creme brulee, which surprised me with a delightful blueberry bottom. To sip, I had the Key Lime Pie Martini—divine and perfectly balanced. Our server, Jadyn, was fantastic—very attentive and made sure our meal and drinks were timed just right. It’s always a better experience when the service matches the food, and she nailed it. One detail I especially appreciated: when they brought the check, it came with a small weight to keep it from blowing away if you’re dining outdoors. Such a simple yet genius touch that shows how much they think about their guests’ experience. The place was packed when we left around 8 p.m., which is no surprise given the quality. Though we dined inside, the weather was perfect for the patio, making it a great option for outdoor dining as well. If you’re on the fence about this spot, don’t be. It’s every bit as amazing as you’ve heard.

We came for lunch today, an early anniversary date . Just wow, the food firstly so good. We had a Cuban sandwich, the soup of the day- Beef Stew and the Sliders ( wagyu beef and crab cake) and a side of the house mac and cheese. Everything was so tasty and each bite was better than the last. Service and ambiance are stellar. Thanks so much for making our anniversary special.

Ours plans fell thru today so my son modified them and chose a tucked away restaurant we've never been before: the Brevardian Riverfront. The food was fantastic! The ambiance was very nice. The drinks were great! The servers were awesome! We had a really good mother/son date. Thanks Brevardian. We will be back!
