  Restaurants that Serve Chinese food can generally be broken down into two categories:1. The take out/delivery store front (they may have a table or two inside for those looking to eat in, but they are about packing you up and sending you on your way).2. Sit down "New York Style" Chinese restaurants that usually have paper mats with the Chinese Zodiac and you will of course receive a fortune cookie at the end of your meal.What I love about Tely's Chinese Restaurant in Melbourne, FL is that it does not fit into either of these categories! Tely's Chinese Restaurant serves fresh ingredients, light sauces and some traditional dishes with a twist! The clean and fresh food, atmosphere and design is a marked change from what is often served at many local competitors. Warning: if you are looki... 12/14/2017

Since Melbourne, FL is a beachside town, visitors expect us to have great seafood. Although we have quite a few places that serve some pretty tasty seafood dishes, they are mostly larger restaurants that are designed to serve hundreds of tourists and locals.Seafood Station in Melbourne, FL is exactly the opposite! This place is a small,  with a seafood counter and some frig and freezer cabinets. What they do offer is a varied menu that will really appeal to the seafood lover in you! The tables they do have are all outside and are long picnic style tables that are meant to be shared!The food is pretty darn amazing! They offer most choices in a New Orleans style boil basket. The prices are fair Examples:Single Whole Lobster Basket: $15Double Whole Lobster Basket $26 (example photo)I will ... 12/08/2017

On the surface it seems that buying the biggest, most updated home in a neighborhood is the way to go. when shopping for that new home, right?But is buying the top property in the neighborhood a buyer's top decision?  When it comes to buying a home there are a few things buyers should avoid buying including... the largest house in the neighborhood. the most expensive house in the neighborhood. an over-improved, highly personalized home. Why would any of these become a "problem?"  I am hesitant to call these factors problems but they should be considered when making home buying decisions.    When it comes to value the largest home's value could potentially be held back by the neighboring homes - especially if they are smaller, older or not maintained as well.    And although a house shou... 11/02/2017

We have quite a few really good pizza places in the Melbourne area. I was told by a couple of my clients that I needed to try Slices at 3760 W Eau Gallie Blvd Ste 101 Melbourne, FL 32934.First: the location is not ideal for a restaurant in the Melbourne, FL area, not real close to large population areas. It is close to some large warehouses which may answer the question as to why Slices is closed on Saturday (hours Sunday through Thursday 11-9pm, Friday 11-8pm).In terms of the food, the thin pizza is very good. It is a traditional thin crust NY style pizza. They use traditional NY style pizza ovens and the pies and slices are cooked well!The Sicilian style pies are less traditional. They are thinner square crusts (closer to a Chicago style than Sicilian) but still quite tasty. Slices al... 11/02/2017

The old Coral Bay Restaurant property on US 1 in Melbourne will be developed into a seven-story resort hotel with a national chain restaurant (possibly Bahama Breeze) that will have an outdoor dining area. There will also be two smaller restaurants (possibly Chipotle and Starbucks) and an 81-slip marina.This new project will be called the Riverwalk Marina complex with a projected cost of between $25 million to $30 million. The project will also  create more than 150 jobs.The Melbourne City Council unanimously decided to sell the site to the developer, River Walk Marina Partners LLC, for $2 million.The deal is still not final as the buyer has a 90 day inspection period on the site. In the mean time, the city is having the site demo'd at a cost of over $86,000 due to recent damage by Hurr... 10/11/2017

Those of you that know me know what a crazy foodie I am. I am always excited by new, innovative restaurants. Crush Eleven, the upscale-casual restaurant that I introduced you to in May of 2016 is moving to downtown Melbourne.Crush Eleven's is moving to the historic Flatiron Building that The Firehouse Restaurant and Lounge used to occupy. Crush Eleven owner Mona Foy says:"We're going to be super sad to leave Cocoa Village. We've made so many friends there. But we've got a really good customer base in Melbourne as well."The move is expected in mid-November with the Cocoa Village restaurant staying open until the day before the Melbourne location opens. Foy said that she wasn't looking to move, but the opportunity was too good to pass up. Said opportunity is with Federico Arocena who owns... 10/09/2017

 Crush Eleven, one of the most popular restaurants in Cocoa Village is moving to Historic Downtown Melbourne in the next couple of months. Crush Eleven is an upscale casual restaurant that includes a bar. The likely reason for the move to Melbourne is the more upscale feel to Historic downtown Melbourne, as well as the expansion of the bar area (from about 5 or 6 stools to around 25). Crush Eleven has a very distinct menu that offers dinner, Sunday brunch and an extensive wine list.The Melbourne location will be in the Flatiron Building at 927 E. New Haven Ave, 32901 (it is about a block away from my new office).  10/05/2017

Today is the day I move into my new Downtown Melbourne, FL office. I love the wonderful central location. It is close to everything. As I was searching I determined that I needed to have certain requirements for the office. 1. Stay off the beachside (too far from many parts of the area). 2. I wanted to be in a "destination area"  A place potential buyers and sellers would go all year long. Downtown has many festivals, restaurants and shops.3. I wanted easy access from all parts of the County. I am excited to be in the heart of everything :) FYI: The View out my front window!  08/31/2017

Sushi Factory II in Melbourne, FL is a hard place to review. It does not function as a normal sit down sushi restaurant...nor does it function as an all you can eat sushi buffet. Sushi Factory II is kind of a combo of both concepts,  and sort of works well as both.First, Sushi Factory II has your normal sushi style menu for either dine in or take-out. It also has an "all you can eat" menu with a twist. The all you can eat allows you to order anything (and everything) on the menu. (prices for lunch and dinner run from $14 to $23). The waitstaff will bring you small plates (4 pcs of whatever you order) and the twist is if you do not finish something on the plate you get charged an additional 50 cents per piece you left. This is designed to stop diners from ordering something, eating one p... 08/23/2017

Geographically Brevard County is about 80 miles north to south and runs along the Atlantic coast.   And if someone is considering a move to one of Brevard County's 55+ communities there are multiple choices to fit almost all budgets. The first key question to consider when it comes to moving to a Florida retirement community is "What are you looking for in that Florida retirement community?"  Is it shopping, restaurants, multiple golf courses, activities, entertainment, fitness centers, a cruise port nearby, low cost of living, total maintenance free living or just exterior maintenance, gated or (guard on site) or whatever. A second key question is "At what cost?" For example, consider these four outstanding 55+ communities in the Melbourne, Florida area:  Pine Creek, Grand Isle, Herita... 08/17/2017
