Frigate's Waterfront Grill - Melbourne

The outdoor space here is huge and you get a beautiful view of the water from pretty much any seat. The food is very good and nice portions we had the fish tacos, spicy tuna roll and the spicy tuna bowl. Service was very slow, and took about 15 minutes for anyone to come over and take drink orders after we had been seated; we had to ask our waiter for drink refills as well. Part of the upper outdoor patio is dog friendly, which is nice.

Upon arriving with a party of 5 we were greeted and taken pretty quickly to our table The stairs led down to the lower patio and what a stunning walk it was! The water had the colors of the setting sun and the trees lit up with fairy lights. A magical sight! Our party ordered our drinks. We had wine, sangria and mixed drinks. All were great! I did have to request a wine glass with a stem as it was served in a stemless for my red. Personal preference I suppose I orderthe Brie fried chicken sandwich! What a delicious meal it was! Crispy fries. Yum! My friends orders looks equally good! Though the steak on my friends plate was too charred and the risotto was so undercooked it had to be sent back. My onlycomplain is there are open til 10? but at 9:30 all the light were just SHUT OFF while we sat there finishing our drinks. A very rude way to ask people to leave when you claim to still be open. We probably would have ordered more drinks butalas. This was a huge turn off but otherwise it was a great experience

Tasty food and friendly service. Nice, relaxed but semi upscale feel. Beautiful patio and sunset views on the river. Get there early. There was already a 2 hour wait at 6pm, and they don?t take reservations for parties under 8. The only option is valet parking. All the food was good, but in order of favorites to least favorite, my ranking is: Grouper, jambalaya bowl, pargo frito, yellow snapper, and the Mediterranean bowl. Drinks were also good, and the lava cake dessertwas delicious.

We went here to celebrate our 20th anniversary. The place is nice and romantic. We sat outside by the river Perfect for our celebration. I give it only 3 stars because it was too noisy due to being next to A1 and having a live musician. The musician was very talented, but we couldn't maintain a conversation without raising our voices. The food took a long time after placing the order. The time in between courses was too long. The waiter blamed it on a big party. No idea where this party was because the restaurant wasn't incredibly busy. The food was good but not good enough for what we paid or to talk about or crave it for the time to come and wasn't hot. Maybe because they walk all over from the kitchen down the stairs to the area by the river with the food espoused. They don't cover it. The Mexican roll was tasty. I paid $160 for 2 drinks, a sushi roll, a conch fritters, and 2 main dishes. They also don't offer military discounts.

Stopped by for a drink. Picturesque setting. The outside bar is right on the water with a beautiful view.. College football on many screens. Perfect atmosphere.The margarita was in a nice glass, but weak.Pricey... paying for the view.
