Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Satellite Beach

On vacation in Melbourne Beach and this restaurant was recommended by a local. It is a very professionally run restaurant, the staff are unfailingly efficient and attentive. The food is excellent; it is indeed a steak and lobster house and both were top shelf. As with most truly good steak houses, the prices will give you pause; our surf & turf dinners with calamari to start carried a tab over $300 for the two of us (with wine). But we don't regret it.

We have enjoyed the view and food at this location for the 8 years we’ve lived here. Our next to last visit, with guests, had delays which we chalked up to an off night with staff shortage and computer issues. We returned last night with a guest. We chose an earlier reservations hoping to avoid the delays of the previous visit. Our server was very involved with a table of 8 who got their water, drinks, bread and entrees in quick order. We waited to be greeted. Waited for water and thought we’d give our drink orders when the water was poured. Nope. She left to return to the larger party. 15 min after being seated I went to the bar and asked for the manager. She took charge. Got us another server, Ricky, with an upbeat personality and promise to address our needs. He and the manager, Ellen, diffused our annoyance and the rest of the meal was up to our usual service. The food, as always, was delicious. The crab cake is my favorite. We’ve tried various times and days. It’s always busy and loud. Business is good. Happy hour is crowded and loud.

We have been coming here for 5 years. The Fat Snook never disappoints. The food is outstanding. The chef does an extraordinary job pairing flavors and textures in all the dishes. The wines are fabulous. Kevin was our server this time. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and wine and he was very attentive to all of our needs. He has a wonderful way of describing the dishes and their characteristics. We will definitely be back. Don’t miss this gem if you’re in the Cocoa Beach area.

Wonder atmosphere, delicious food and overall great place for a romantic dinner. Thanks to OpenTable we were able to find it.

We had a great Valentines celebration. The cocktails were delicious. Beef stew and cottage pie were excellent. Friendly attentive servers.
