Restaurants near Banana River Aquatic Preserve

This is our second time at Rebellion in Cocoa Beach, the first time was on their grand opening. Rebellion is one of the classiest restaurants in Cocoa Beach. Certainly ranks up at the top in terms of food, service, and atmosphere. One of the few places I found locally to serve oyster stew, one of my favorites. I paired it with their Rebellion Burger, that had interesting and complex flavors with its bacon, cheeses, and onion jam. My wife and daughter shared a flavorful chicken dish and we ordered two other appetizers, including their delicious cornbread and a special pasta dish. When the pasta dish was not initially received, the chef immediately prepared it, personally delivered it, and removed the charge from our bill, without us asking. Julia was our server and she was friendly, attentive, and prompt. Signature cocktails were interesting and delicious. Some interesting French wines highlighted the wine list. The owner stopped by our table and remembered us from our earlier visit. She thanked us for our patronage. We came early and when we left before 7:00, every table was occupied and the bar was filled. A little pricey, but in alignment with other quality restaurants and definitely worth it!

Excellent food and service. Filet was perfectly cooked and oyster appetizer was very tasty.

Superb experience. Special menu for Valentine’s Day that was out of this world. Chef’s 7-course menu with wine pairing was perfection. Gina our server was attentive and knowledgeable. Entire staff was friendly. Atmosphere was great- you could speak to your table mates and actually hear the conversation. We will be back.

Scallops dish was delicious! The salmon nachos were amazing! The servers were friendly and top notch. The chef came out to ask everyone how their meals were and even sat with us for a few minutes. We can’t wait to go back!

Excellent food and service. Not cheap, but still a great value given the high quality.
