Pineda Inn Grill - Melbourne

Not sure how to rate this restaurant. The staff and atmosphere are top notch. Beautiful views, and a gorgeous outside eating area. Our wait staff were busy but attentive. Our food was hit and miss. We started off with the Mahi Bites with Coctail Sauce. This was excellent. I ordered the Seafood Platter (Mahi, Shrimp and Coconut Shrimp) This was also really good. My wife ordered Fish and Chips. It was a disaster. The fish was so full of oil we had to break it up and place it on about 8 stacked napkins to drain some of the grease out of it. She likened it to store bought frozen fish that you cook in the oven, but poorly deep fried.

The restaurant offers a stunning view of the water! It was quite breezy during our evening visit, so we had to sit inside, which my son didn't particularly enjoy. The place has a fantastic beach vibe. The food was delicious, and I can confidently say it's one of the best Cajun pastas I've ever had! The service was quick and friendly. While it is a bit on the pricey side, the view makes it worth it! After dinner, it's a great spot to relax on the back patio and enjoy a beer or two. They also have a tiki bar tucked away in the far corner of the patio. I'll definitely be coming back!

We used to visit their sister restaurant years ago, and I was heartbroken when it closed down. They had the best Philly cheesesteaks... BUT... then we discovered Pineda Inn, and it has the same amazing menu! Yay! There's even a dock where you can park your boat and arrive by water. We absolutely love this place! They always have live music as well. I highly recommend it for a date night!

This place is right on the beach of the Banana River so it has a great view to enjoy while you eat. The service and food are good. Don't blink while you are trying to find it as it comes up real quick and their sign is a bit faded. Definitely worth the stop.

We went with friends for dinner and wanted to sit outside to look at the river view. The waitress was great. She kept asking if we needed anything else and kept refilling our waters too. We started with the hot pretzel dipped in cheese which was so yummy. We got the French dip which was delicious and fried seafood combo. I would definitely go back again. They had a live band and we were singing to the 80’s songs at our table. The drinks were made right.
