Great place. Food was very good , atmosphere was awesome.
Wait staff was very friendly and made no mistakes. Highly recommend this place for a place to relax and eat or just have a cocktail at the bar.
Absolutely loved everything! Great calamari, wings were good, drinks were good, but our meals were fabulous!!! I had the 2 lobster and crab cakes, and he had the grilled mahi, blackened!! Delicious!! Our server, Megan was very knowledgeable and very attentive, but not over attentive! We will be back the next time we are in Florida!!

Had dinner with teammates for the 5K Holloween run. Everyone loved the wings! I am not a big fan of meatballs, but I really enjoyed the ones they served. Superb organizer event facilitator providing such free quality food and beer, plus the exceptional view of water. It's a great place to hang out.
Definitely going back for more...

Atmosphere:
The ambiance was delightful. Nestled in a quaint downtown area, the restaurant buzzed with a relaxed, family-friendly vibe, drawing in a lively crowd both indoors and outdoors. The interior decor exuded the charm of a seasoned fisherman's abode.
Food:
The culinary experience was quite pleasing. The calamari, while somewhat standard, held its own. It didn't venture into extraordinary territory but certainly satisfied. The accompanying chips with balsamic and blue cheese boasted delightful flavors, though a heartier option like tots or fries would have been even more satisfying.
The praline sea bass won over my parents, and I was particularly fond of the Mahi. I wholeheartedly recommend both choices. And let's not forget the banana pudding – a true star. Not only did it arrive in a visually appealing presentation, but it also tantalized the taste buds, and the portion size was generously ample, catering to hearty appetites.
Service:
Regrettably, the service left much to be desired. Our server appeared to be performing the bare minimum, with infrequent check-ins that necessitated flagging him down multiple times. It felt as if attending to us was a burdensome chore for him.
Overall:
Despite the service hiccup, we intend to revisit due to the fantastic food, picturesque views, and the restaurant's inviting atmosphere. We're inclined to attribute the service shortfall to a possible off night, and we're hopeful for an improved experience next time. Our overall rating stands at 4 out of 5 stars, with the deducted point reflecting the aforementioned service lapse.
Great conch fritters. Tasty cocktail. You can see the rum at the bottom. Other places you wonder if there's any alcohol in their drinks. Friendly service. Live music. Reasonable prices. You can sit inside, or outside at the beach tables.
Love the place, love the food, lobsters crab cakes were out of this world, even thou is a casual place looks elegant as well. I did not find anything I didn’t like on this place. If isn’t because my short stay in Melbourne I would have gone again for dinner. Thank you Jordan!
Our first visit to Squid Lips ensured that we would come back. We ordered the stuffed sweet potato (pulled pork), the shrimp poke bowl, banini bread (OMG!), and frozen house margaritas. Since it was our anniversary, we splurged and had dessert: banana pudding and chocolate cake. Everything tasted great, our service was exceptional, and the band made for a fun atmosphere.
The lobster crab cake sandwich was delicious 😋. The waitress was attentive, and the view on the waterfront was perfect! If it wasn't for our short stay, we too, would have eaten there again this week. Hope to be back to see you soon!
Nice decor and atmosphere, food was delicious but a bit pricey.
Location is fantastic!
Great place to visit in Melbourne
I truly enjoyed this place, everything was surprisingly DELICIOUS!!!!
the raw oysters , the plantain with bacon was terrific, fried liver was delicious the banana pudding was to die for , and the atmosphere in front of the water was just perfect !! Coming back soon 🩷
Lovely little place, right on the water. Live music while we were there, a sign in the bathroom said life music every night. Volume was very reasonable. Food was fantastic. Atmosphere was chill and relaxing. Place looked a little dingy, but it came off much more sea shanty than dirty, so no complaints there. 5/5 for a relaxing couples dinner. Would return again, with enthusiasm.
Our food was served hot n fresh! Our server was fast and friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. Indoor and outdoor seating available with views of the river. The deck has live bands in the afternoon or evening most days.
