Port Canaveral Restaurants: Rusty's Seafood and Oyster Bar

How often do you go to a restaurant? We really don't set a day for it. We go when we feel like it. Here in the space coast, fine dining locations are plenty to choose from. If you are looking for that great ambiance, amazing view by the beach, pleasant service, affordable price and delicious gourmet food, there are numerous places to check out in Port Canaveral and Cocoa Beach area. For now, let's check out:

Rusty's Seafood and Oyster's Bar
628 Glen Cheek Dr, Cape Canaveral, FL 32920
Phone:(321) 783-2033 

When I pick a side order, I go for rice. In Rusty's, they have what they called Seasoned Rice. This is tasty and flavorful and it's only $1.99 if ordered separately. With my chosen meal, the seasoned rice comes with it.

The onion rings is $4.99 per order but, for my meal, it's free as well. This is delicious and for every bite of crunchiness, my appetite satisfaction has been fully nourished. How's that for my simple craving? LOL.

Here is the not-so-fun part of my dining experience. On this particular visit, my steak is well-done. When it comes to meat, I like it "well-done" so; this steak in the picture is burnt hehehe. When my server came back and asked me how's my steak, I smiled and I said, it's burnt and it's tough. He said sorry and never replaced it. I did not complain anyway. Steak is one of my favorites in Rusty's and all the time, it's great. On this day, it didn't pass my "taste-bud's-test-taste". It doesn't mean that I don't like Rusty's anymore. I still recommend that you should try Rusty's because this restaurant is my favorite.

My husband loves mussels so he ordered mussels with classic garlic wine sauce. Oh he loves seafood. He loves raw oysters too. I can't eat raw hehehe.

Look at the ambiance where we were seated as we dine. They have an air-conditioned room but, we prefer to listen to the live music outdoor. Besides, it was a gorgeous day and we were waiting for the Disney cruise which will be passing by the restaurant at that time.

Here, take a look at the photo I took on the side. At Rusty's Seafood and Oyster Bar, you will not only enjoy a good meal but, a relaxing view as well. Please visit the Space Coast and check out Port Canaveral Area. Thanks for stopping by.

Longhorn Steakhouse in Merritt Island

Amex sent me about 8 Restaurant Gift Cards worth $25 each. I accumulated so much points and for me, restaurant gift cards is the best option to maximize the worth of my points. I ordered different Restaurant GC and that includes Longhorn Steakhouse. We used it in Merritt Island so; after shopping, we went to this address:

770 E Merritt Island Causeway
Merritt Island
(321) 456-5559

When we went inside, it was not crowded and there was no host/hostess and we waited for at least 3 to 4 minutes but, when we were ready to leave (disappointed), one waitress came to us and assisted us. She was nice. We ordered and the food came just about the right time. It was not a busy day in the restaurant but, the ambiance was not at all positive. Maybe we were disappointed from the beginning. I ordered Rancher's Sirloin, a juicy grilled sirloin which has hickory-smoked bacon and sunny side up egg on top and asparagus on the side. I enjoyed my food but, hubby was not.

My husband ordered the Renegade Top Sirloin which he describes as tough as shoe leather. This is his plate and as you can see, not appealing at all. I gave him half of my steak.

Yes we were not happy on this visit. We will be back though and give them another chance if they are worthy for recommendation.
