"After reading the reviews and looking at the website, we were so excited to eat here. While the food was wonderful, we found the service and the atmosphere to be lacking and had a difficult time enjoying the food. We had a reservation for 7:30 PM, showed up on time and were instructed that the other two-tops were finishing up their meal. We had no problem with that, as the restaurant can’t and should not rush their patrons. We waited outside with the other party that had a reservation for 7:30 PM. Through the window we could see that both two-tops had finished eating and left around 7:45 PM. The tables were not cleaned for quite a bit and we were sat after 8 PM. This was a slight annoyance but we were still excited to be there. Since we had waited so long, we were ready to order pretty much immediately and told our server Melissa this; she told us she had to get her book and she would be right back. She was not. Another 10 minutes passed while she did other things and even went back to the table next to us who had already ordered their drinks while we waited patiently to order anything. When she finally got to us we were able to order drinks, the tuna appetizer, a ribeye and the mahi. When she came back with our drinks we inquired about the lamb that was mentioned as a good pairing for some of the wine and were told that the restaurant discontinued the lamb due to staffing shortages. Interesting, as we had seen a table outside with lamb but we let it go. 5 minutes later our server returned again, this time to tell us they were out of ribeye and that they could give me the filet. Okay fine, but she was not at all apologetic and even a little pushy about the filet. At this point, we are annoyed, and I guess it was a little obvious because a different server started assisting us at this point. We later found at that in fact the restaurant did have lamb and that it was one of the specials along with scallops that had been offered to other tables and not to us because our server not only neglected to tell us but blatantly lied about. Truly, at this point you’d think the restaurant would do anything to try to make reparations for the blatant lies and bad service… but no, we paid full price for a meal we didn’t order, for being seated 30 minutes after our reservation, and for our server to just abandon us at a table because she was embarrassed about being caught in said lie. The only saving grace for the night was really how good the food was and the other server Anna that came to help us and was honest about the circumstances. For two individuals who have worked many years in the service industry, specifically serving at and managing restaurants, to say we were disappointed us an understatement"

I searched for restaurants with outdoor seating and reservations near our rental, and I was lucky to find this place. We had shrimp, lamb chops, and incredible sangria.

We drove 82 miles to dine here. Made the reservation yesterday. They were closed. You had my number, you knew you were not going to be open, you should have had the decency to let me know.

it was like losing a friend who changes fat kahuna the hands. gone are the excellent seafood options with the excellent beside dishes. I thought the new style was just normal and not worthy of any special recognition.

Hard to rate since we made reservations yesterday, drive 1:45 minutes, and they were closed. They could have called me. A three and a half hour round trip, and didn’t get to eat there. This is inexcusable, and I will be sure to let w dry one I k it that travels to cocoa beach about this experience.

If I could give this restaurant 10 stars, I would give it 20. It ranks among the top three dinners I've ever experienced, and I've had some incredible meals in my lifetime. The customer service is excellent, and the quality and presentation of the food are unparalleled. The cozy interior is small but inviting. If you're in Cocoa Beach, Florida or the surrounding area, a visit to Fat Kahunas is a must.

"I wanted to love it! Food is a major win here, just not the atmosphere) For a place with a dress code, you'd expect a certain atmosphere. You walk inside and it's so dark you could run into tables and chairs. I actually stepped on someone's foot because I didn't realize how close they were to me when we were seating in the waiting area. How do people read the menus? We had a reservation for 12 people and were seated outside at patio tables with candles in the umbrella hole. It's a cute vibe once you've been drinking. We ended up getting hit by a 10 minute down pour of rain so we had to pick up our stuff and switch tables. Not the restaurant's fault but I don't recommend sitting outside if you're all dressed up. The drink pictured was a berry smash. My friend has three but I didn't care for it. Tasted like a seltzer with juice added. I had the surf and turf market price) and upgraded to the filet $15 upcharge). I expected better plating. This photo is of the meal as it came. The seasonal veggies are on the left. Described as a delicious butternut squash with brown sugar and bacon. The squash was a bit undercooked and I didn't run into any bacon but I also didn't finish it. The steak was PERFECT! Cook and season. Best steak I had the whole week. The lobster tail was on point. Five stars for those two! Potatoes were great as well. Crab cakes are two balls about 3.5 inches around. Fresh crab meat and clearly made in house. Make sure you get lots of that sauce they come with. It was a perfect pairing. The bread. Omg. Don't pass on it. Can't eat carbs? Get it to sit on your table lol) everything from the smell, to the flavor, to the texture, to the butter it comes with was amazing. I wish I could have taken some home to freeze it. Cappuccino was ok. Espresso was better. Pumpkin caramel cake was delicious, the crumble on top was Devine! The creme brulee was perfectly cooked. Key lime pie, perfect for those that enjoy a tart dessert. Parking: This is located in a strip mall with plenty of surrounding parking options."

"We began with the artichoke hearts salad and onion soup, both of which were delicious. The salad featured a wonderful combination of grilled artichoke hearts, cheese, greens, and a delightful dressing. The onion soup, reminiscent of classic French onion soup, topped with roasted bone marrow, had a rich broth that was perfectly balanced—not too thick. For our main course, we ordered the chicken on MaryAnn’s recommendation, and she was spot on. The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, served with a generous portion of mashed potatoes and a demi-glace that complemented the dish beautifully. The short rib entrée was also outstanding. Along with our mains, we tried the hush puppies. The name doesn’t do them justice. As someone from the South, I take pride in knowing a good hush puppy, and these are in a league of their own. You absolutely have to try them! For dessert, we had chocolate mousse and carrot cake fritters. The mousse was by far the best I've ever had, and the carrot cake fritters were superb, which I had expected from a chef who can make such remarkable hush puppies. I also sampled several wines, all of which were fantastic. It’s clear that the wine selection has been carefully curated with the same attention to detail as the menu. MaryAnn guided me with her excellent recommendations, particularly the Shiraz and white ganache, which were truly amazing. After our meal, I took a moment to thank owner/chef Jason, who was very welcoming. It’s wonderful to see someone so passionate about what they do, and that passion is evident in every bite. Thank you so much, Jason and MaryAnn, for an unforgettable dining experience! We will definitely be back. Just a tip: be sure to make a reservation, as Flavour Kitchen and Wine Bar fills up quickly—and now you know why!"
