HEMINGWAY'S TAVERN

One of the best restaurants in Brevard County, perhaps all of East Central Florida. Excellent, knowledgeable staff, amazing plate presentations, fresh ingredients, great tasting food. Our and the runners were on top of everything. They answered several of our questions. Excellent bakery/Espresso Bar.

Excellent food, service, and atmosphere! Love their Guacamole with plantains as an appetizer and their Key West Bowl as a meal. Food is packed with flavor and just a really great place to eat. Highly recommend it. This is my second visit and have not been disappointed.

Birthday lunch today for a party of 8. I was in town visiting and chose Hemingway’s because it has been a personal favorite of mine for years—we always make it a point to eat here at least once whenever we are on vacation. Most of our group loved, or at least really enjoyed, their selections, while a few felt theirs were just okay. However, as the birthday boy and the entire reason for the occasion, I was extremely disappointed with my meal. I have ordered this exact menu item many times over the years. It absolutely kills me when a restaurant takes a go-to favorite that was already near-perfect and feels the need to change it. On top of being incredibly over-salted, who decided to add a dominant smoky flavor to the pulled pork?! It completely ruined the dish. If you are going to introduce a heavy flavor profile like smoke, it needs to be explicitly stated in the menu description. Had I read that, I never would have ordered it. I only ate it because I was hungry and I absolutely hate sending food back. Was it awful? No. But it was entirely different from the classic dish I came for, and it really let me down on my birthday. Our server was good but the bar staff was amazing!

👌

The food was rather bland disappointing, not nearly as good as on previous visits. Also, the charge to add plain French fries to a burger was $5! They also charged a $2 upcharge to substitute coconut bread for brioche - totally ridiculous!!

First time and our waitress was great! Great food and better atmosphere 👌 Definitely gonna come back knowing how close we live there. Definitely recommend 👌

Awesome atmosphere, food and service. It is slightly higher in price per person than most comparable restaurants, but they are the #1 restaurant in Melbourne, Fl for a reason.

Great experience, even in a storm!! Great staff!! Great food!!

Gross just don't go have eaten there 3 times all different food it was all bad the cooks need some training all the food taste old and for 2 mahi sandwichs and 2 ice tea conch fritters $82

Food is always good!

We go there a lot because the service is great and the food is absolutely delicious

I had the crab cakes, blackened. Delicious. We sat outside it was pleasant. Our server was amazing and made the entire evening exceptional

If you want the next best place this far north of Key West. Hemingways Tavern is the place.

I stop by every time I'm in town. Good food and a cozy place. I love the campus landscaping.

Excellent restaurant. It has an extensive menu, great tasting food, marvellous drinks, and a friendly staff. Alyssa, our server, was so helpful and friendly. She helped make our lunch very enjoyable. We had a great time.

Good food, friendly service

We stopped by for lunch today and had the pleasure of having Deeion as our waiter, What a refreshing experience! Kind, professional, polite, efficient. Thank you! Oh, we enjoyed the Cuban sandwiches too. 😊😊😊

drove in from out of town to catch a game and stopped by for lunch, food was fantastic, atmosphere fun and wait staff friendly and attentive... all around 5s

Great food and excellent staff.

Was crowded on a Friday, but crowds to me doesn't mean much. Pricese were fair, got the rib platter. This is where I wasn't impressed. Ribs were just ok, they were easy pull off bone but on a the dry side. The side of fries were good, the macaroni salad was ok. Tried a little of my friend's dish octopus appetizer, there was a sauce on it that was bitter not a fan of. Environment was loud and stressful if you don't like loud crowded places. Service was superb, prices were fair, but the food was very blah.

Amazing food, great staff! Enjoyable atmosphere.

Loved conch fritters, plantain, bread pudding, but the Hemingway Snapper was burned black on one side and very hard and dry. I did take pictures.
