Crush XI had very friendly and attentive staff. They were welcoming, checked in often, and made us feel genuinely taken care of throughout the meal. The food was absolutely delicious — and the biscuit was honestly the best biscuit I’ve ever had. Perfectly soft, buttery, and unforgettable. Kudos to the chef! The only downside was a noticeable sewage-type smell coming from the kitchen area at times. Hopefully that issue gets resolved, because the service and food were otherwise excellent! Definitely recommend overall!!

Why have I never been here before? Luckily, we stopped in during happy hour. Sitting at the bar, I noticed Chloe, the bartender skillfully making an Old Fashioned. So, of course I had to get one. Hands down, one of the best. My wife ordered a Highball. That’s not what she usually gets, but liked it. During our conversation, it became apparent that Chloe is highly skilled and knowledgeable about her products. Sadly, we ate before arriving so we’ll have to come back to have lunch or dinner. Can’t wait.

First time visiting Melbourne, FL, and we decided to check out this place. The atmosphere was great, and the service was excellent.
Unfortunately, we didn’t have the best experience with the food and drinks. The margarita was too sweet for our taste, and both the steak and white fish were overly salty with flavor combinations that didn’t quite work for us. On a positive note, the chicken tenders were delicious and definitely the highlight of the meal.

incredible Service and a Perfect Celebration for my Daughter’s Master’s!
I cannot recommend Crush XI enough! We were looking for a spot to celebrate my daughter’s graduation for her Master’s degree. I couldn't find anything on OpenTable for a party of 7, so I decided to call. To my surprise and relief, they made it happen and squeezed us in.
From the moment we arrived (a little early), the service was flawless. We were seated immediately and greeted with genuine friendliness. Our waitress was amazing—she knew the menu inside and out and guided us through the drink options. Speaking of drinks, the Bacon Old Fashioned and the Mojitos are top-notch!
We started with the chicken, bruschetta, and bacon-wrapped olives. Everything was cooked to perfection. But the real highlight was the hospitality. When they found out what we were celebrating, they brought out a congratulations card signed by the entire staff—including the kitchen team! It was such a huge, fun surprise that made the night extra special.
Great food, incredible drinks, and a team that genuinely cares. If you are in Melbourne, go here!

Amazing food and excellent service! Visited on a very busy evening and everything was delicious. Steak ordered medium, but came out rare. They remade so a bit of delay, but everything else made up for it.

Contemporary American in Downtown Melbourne’s Flatiron Building
The menu features carefully crafted dishes in a warm atmosphere with professional service. This is a place you can count on for a special night out.
We started with the Medjool Dates and Salmon Crispy Rice. Both were fantastic “snacks” to start the meal off right. For entrees we ordered the Grouper Fresh Catch and Salmon. The Grouper had us at curtido, and the Salmon had us at coconut curry. Both of these dishes were top tier, truly phenomenal dishes.

My wife and I went here for our anniversary dinner. Reservation was easy thru Open Table, and our table was ready when we arrived. Crush XI provided a personalized card at our table signed by the staff for our anniversary. It was really appreciated. The food, OMG, was amazing. They have small menu, but the food we had was so delicious. The drinks were great as well. Thank you Crush XI for helping us celebrate our anniversary. We will definitely be back.

I'm finding culinary gems in Downtown Melbourne. If you enjoy Rustic American Cuisine, then check out this place. It was recommended by a local here, and I wasn't disappointed. The menu changed up for the season and included creative pairings that provide a unique experience with every bite. If you're a whiskey/bourbon fan, then this place offers just about every kind of old fashion the mind can think of. Drinks were strong but not overwhelming. As far as food they have a bit of everything. I enjoyed the medjol dates (9/10) the Smoked Duck fettuccine (10/10) and Heritage Porkchop (9/10). I didn't save room for dessert but will be going back to give them a try. I've added a picture of the menu so that you can get an idea of how the chef plays around with different ingredients and creates flavorful dishes. Great balance of acidic, sweet, and salty, also different textures.

Espresso martini was delicious. Not too sweet! The Burrata is worth the $. 4 diners and the other 3 took a piece to try and I was still full!The salmon cheese puffs and medjool dates are delicious as well! But all agreed the Burrata was the best. I brought 1/2 of my berries and beets salad with salmon home! That salad is delicious 😋 too! The salmon was cooked to perfection with a crispy texture outside while being moist, juicy, and perfect on the inside! Beets were cooked to an 'al dente' state and the berries were fresh, sweet, juicy, and delicious! Another diner had the catch of the day, Grouper, and said it was the best they've ever had! Two diners had desert, German chocolate creme brulee, which I was able to taste. Talk about rich and elegant! If you like chocolate, you'll love it! A surprise aperitif was a cocoa vodka. Our server, Nicole, explained the process, but I only remember that it took 6 days to make! Speaking of Nicole, she was polite, knowledgeable, and very attentive! I will definitely be back!
