Heidelberg Restaurant

At the Heidelberg, everything is made from scratch. Everything also is authentic, from the decor to the German-speaking chef in the back. The owners also are European (Austrian). Service is the best on the East Coast -- impeccable! Cost can be up there, but who can beat caviar and Dom after hours in the bar? Located adjacent to Heidi's Jazz Club.
Cafe Margaux
220 Brevard Ave. - Cocoa321-639-8343
Cafe Margaux features terrific food and impeccable service. Want to impress a date or the in-laws? This is the place to go. Try the melange of fresh fish for a sampling of the day's catch, or try the Filet Oscar or Chicken Margaux. If you save room, chocolate pate makes for an excellent dessert. The wine list is top-notch, and so are the martinis. On a nice night, sit outside in the courtyard and enjoy people-watching in Cocoa Village.

Dinner offers a wide variety of fresh seafood, hearty steaks, and even a few vegetarian choices. Live music is offered Wednesday through Sunday.
