For 15 years, Scott Earick has been creating his own brand of culinary craft from a tiny kitchen adjacent to the glittering bar at his much-loved restaurant, Scott’s on Fifth in Indialantic.

Along the way, he has amassed a loyal following of regulars and visitors who tuck into the red-walled dining room with oversized art prints, twinkling led lights, and the low bass thumping of ambient music.

Tables here are covered in crisp white cloths, fine wines and champagnes served in champagne coupes. Shedding the heat and sand of the outside, most people who come here feel transported by the ambiance, by Scott’s affable personality, and by the delicious meals and desserts he skillfully (and lovingly) prepares by hand.
