Denise Russo Refreshing to have an amazing atmosphere AND amazing food, every item on the menu is delicious!! Cooked perfectly and paired with an excellent wine list. Mike has amazing talent in the kitchen and the music talent is diverse and brings a whole new level of atmosphere to dining!!

Angie Lopez Absolutely phenomenal dining experience. Food was exceptional, with great flavor. We had the New England clam chowder, and it was the best I have tried this year---even beats a lot of the chowder we tried in New England!!! We also had a blackened Mahi Mahi dish with vegetables, greens, feta, and calamata olives. This was also excellent! Service was great as well. Our server was super friendly and always smiling. Would definitely go back for another round of chowder!

Donyel Byrd Great live music! We passed this place up for a long time because we thought it was a strip joint. Lol walked in on a Sunday afternoon and thought we stepped into a Chicago blues club! The Cedric Talton Experience was performing—Don’t miss! Learned that there are a variety of different live musicians on most days. We had such a great time! Not many food options—but good drinks and mocktails!

Amy Hughes We finally made it to Post & Vine for the 1st time and we were not disappointed. Hands down the best hand cut fries in Vero! The Filet tips appetizer was great! Also the manager Mike was amazing! We will be back soon!

Teena Wilkin Stopped on a whim while visiting Vero Beach. More than pleasantly surprised! Warmly greeted by Ciara, and Gabby checked in on us as well. Best Coconut Shrimp we’ve ever had. The Coconut Cream Pie was even better than homecooking! The thick cookie crust melted in our mouths. Will definitely return next time we’re in town! Thanks Ladies!

A Brooks Exceptional service and food quality, we stopped in after an appointment at the Cleveland center. My 75yo mother was even impressed. We just got basic burgers for the lunch specials but they were absolutely delicious.

Douglas Boynton Very cold inside! Our neighbors agreed!! Food was great and staff is friendly! Dress warmly and its a great place to eat!! Perhaps vent covers to help redirect the air conditioning? Also, as its known to be cold for customers, why run the ceiling fans at the same time?? : )

O.A Stamp I dont have time for a fully worded out review but this place is a not so hidden gem that I just hadnt been to yet in all my time in Indian River. Seems like a great spot for both weeknight dinner, happy hour, and most likely sporting events as well. Beautiful patio with space and shade, as well as a massive rectangular main bar indoors, with coastal evening chique decor. Generously poured and well priced drinks - Ill be back for them wings too!

Armstrong Michael “Corey” Great place for an upscale breakfast in the heart of Vero Beachs downtown. Family feel and big taste bud menu... Be sure yo bring your appetite as you will not leave hungry.

isabella roberts If youre looking for a lively night out, Rowdy Rooster is the place to be! Their line dancing lessons are fantastic—perfect for both beginners and seasoned dancers. The staff is incredibly friendly and always ready to help, making you feel right at home. With a diverse menu of delicious food and a range of drink options, theres something for everyone. The fun doesnt stop with the amazing live music and DJs later in the evening. The atmosphere is electric, ensuring an unforgettable experience. Dont miss out!

Karen Strouse One of very favorites in Vero, we love the staff and especially Catchi. The food is always good, as are the drinks. Our family is in Ohio and they always make them feel special whenever they are in town.

Heather Stevens I just picked up the third large take out order Ive placed with Phatz in Vero. I just have to let everyone know how amazing Phatz is. Every time the orders have been correct, on time, and delicious! Irianna behind the bar was friendly and fast! Super impressed with this place and the staff. Try them out if you havent, you wont be disappointed!

Edward Morton My wife and I had breakfast here on Monday morning, August 18, 2025 while visiting Vero Beach. We arrived shortly after the restaurant opened, so we had our pick of any table. We decided to eat inside at a table overlooking the outdoor deck, the beach, and the Atlantic Ocean, which was getting rough due to an approaching offshore hurricane. Our server Jessica was prompt, attentive and friendly. I ordered the traditional Eggs Benedict and my wife had the Banana Nut French Toast. Both were delivered piping hot and tasted delicious. Inside decor here is casual and somewhat whimsy like a Jimmy Buffet island song. We enjoyed our breakfast and even came back later the same afternoon to have a drink at the bar before heading back to our campsite to shower for dinner.

Michelle Miracle First time eating at the Twisted Lime and it was fantastic! The food is fresh and tasty. The menu is not typical, has an interesting flare and twist to ordinary dishes. We all had difficulty deciding what dish to order because we wanted to order them all. Lots of drinks to choose from as well. They have cocktails, beer on tap, and bottle. Seating and parking is ample. We did not have to wait to be seated with a party of seven. Our server was attentive and kind. The restaurant is clean with very clean restrooms. They have outdoor seating and a bar you can sit at. If you’re looking to entertain they have two private rooms you can reserve. Great place to eat and drink! I highly recommend and I will definitely go back.

Kris Murphy We arrived early and hung out at Sailfish next door before they opened. The outside area is vast and comfortable, but we decided to eat inside on this occasion. It was our first visit to this establishment on our "Tour de Vero", and they certainly pleased. This is a high-end restaurant with excellent service and the patience of saints. The wine list and bar are quite impressive, but we came for food instead. We tried the sushi and fish special; we were wowed. The pasta was made perfectly, and the seafood was exceptionally fresh - Im picky about seafood. Parking is free, and the beach is right across the street. Vero Beach has many good restaurants, and this is undoubtedly one of the best. The price was reasonable, but if you order high-end food, expect to pay for excellence.
