    New York Reuben and fries to die for.
    Kim L.

    It's been said that a bar is only as good as the bartender and boy oh boy does Bobby's have an incredible daytime bartender! We happened in looking for a drink and found two seats at the bar. Kristy asked what we wanted and served it in chilled glasses with speed that was remarkable. At one point I asked if we were the only non-local or not regulars - after a quick look she confirmed it! But we didn't feel like we were intruding so yay! We decided to go for lunch the next day and, although the bar was crowded, Kristy put her traffic control hat on and after a short wait we had seats. The food - omg - we had deli sandwiches that were a couple of the best ever! Mine was a pastrami melt on rye with Swiss cheese and spicy mustard, absolutely melt in your mouth. Wayne had the NY Reuben and almost moaned eating it - seriously wayyyy good.

    This place is such a throwback. The server was so nice, short staffed. The food was decent, no complains. The conch fritters were really good! The place was pretty quiet and so 90s classic decor.

    We came here for dinner because most restaurants in Vero Beach closed early which was shocking. The steaks were pretty good but the sandwich I got was absolutely awful. No flavor, nothing in it except meat between the bread. What kind of disgusting sandwich is that ? The sweet fries were great but I think they need to take that sandwich off their menu. I wouldn't recommend anyone to order it.

    This spot is a local landmark and today you witnessed firsthand what the business will be like as Vero transitions back into "in season ". The place was hopping. The staff is wonderful, seasoned, with little turnover. It's comfort food, augmented daily with the day's fresh catch. You're just off the water and the bar, which is effectively a separate room, is a real highlight.

    Well we finally made it and could sit at the bar. Definitely a go to spot for the St. John's Island crowd. Drinks are on the pricier side but food at bar is reasonable and the Bobby's Burger for $16 was well worth it.

    Came here for dinner after hearing good things about Bobby's from friends. They were spot on! The ambience is very clean and dimly lit but still light enough for everyone to see each other and the noise was not too loud I was able to hear what my party had to say. Our waitress Julie was great and super friendly. Food was delicious I had the french onion soup and I have to say it's one of the best one I ever had. As for the main event, the primer rib; I had mine cooked medium rare and had the outer layer seared (per their recommendation) and my goodness it was wonderful! Perfect!. So juicy and every bite was a delicious as the last one. I am glad I got to experience a local favorite and my experience was phenomenal. If you are in Vero Beach and one to try a local favorite this is one that I highly recommend.

    Doesn't look like prime rib to me .

    Prime rib was not even a prime rib cut . When sent back to kitchen was told "that's prime rib but just a different cut" medium rare was cooked medium well . The bathroom smelled so bad of old urine I dry heaved all the way out . Will never go again . If the bathroom is that dirty I can imagine the kitchen . If you go definitely go in the bathroom before you decide to order food .

    Sweet Desires is a beautiful spot in Vero Beach. The decor is gorgeous and it was the perfect place…read morefor a date night. We were actually the last people there, and the staff was so incredibly nice and attentive that they even offered to move a table and chairs so we could get a photo in front of their beautiful flower wall. There were also live singers the night we went and they sounded wonderful! I had the Lavender Lemon Drop Martini, and the Marry Me Chicken and they were both so delicious. My fiancé ordered the Beef Short Rib and he loved that as well. You can't leave without trying the Piña Colada Bread Pudding! It's easily one of the best bread puddings I've ever tasted!!!! We will definitely be going back!

    I am so bummed to leave this review, I have wanted to try this place for quite some time. The food…read morewas awful. I ordered an app, soup, main, and dessert to give it a try before date night. So disappointing. I figured if the lounge was at the same standard of the espresso bar and bakery it will be absolutely amazing!!!! Not at all. App BRAISED BEEF & CARAMELIZED ONION CROSTINI Velvety braised beef meets sweet onions, whispered by garlic crostinis Review: Very very OVER cooked SOLID crostinis and beef wasn't braised it was soaked in bbq sauce no onion or micro-greens. Not good. FLAVOR was was salty! Like a salt lick. SHE CRAB SOUP (From the site: SHE CRAB SOUP A rich, creamy soup made with lump crabmeat, a savory seafood broth, and a touch of warming spices, finished with a splash of sherry and served with a fresh-baked dinner roll.) REVIEW: It was a cup of seafood cream soup made of cream over salted and no lump crabmeat, no fresh bread either. No depth couldn't taste the sherry. I think the base was rushed and not layered at all. LUXE SEAFOOD POT PIE Buttery puff pastry filled with a rich medley of shrimp, lobster, scallops, and lump crab, complemented by a silky, well-seasoned seafood sauce with aromatic vegetables. REVIEW: This was awful! It was a bunch of frozen veggie blend cream of celery soup and seafood with a pastry popped on the top. No love into the meal at all. It had a great deal of seafood but all the other ingredients were really just thrown in. (Taste like when you rush to put food on the table because you have too much to do and have to just feed the fam). Last PINA COLADA BREAD PUDDING. Toasted Coconut | Spice Rum Glaze |In House Made Coconut & Pineapple Ice Cream Over cooked and slightly burnt. To be honest I threw it out. Actually I ended up throwing most of it out. I tried to take some bites but it was just plain BAD. I could understand a bad dish or an off night but 4 out of 4. Worst part was I called and said I love your bakery and was so bummed out and it was a complete brush off. Shame...guess no date night there or a romantic night home. Sweet desires is NOTHING TO BE DESIRED. Save yourself the time, money, and trouble. Below are pictures from their site vrs what was received.

The resort itself is a little on the older side but all the amenities are still well kept. With my IHG status, we were greeted with a nice bottle of wine and some sweets. The room was clean and had a huge dining room and kitchen area. It had all the essentials for a homey and comfortable stay. We loved that there were dog treats and little gift pouches in the reception area. The pool area is big and had pleasant lounge chairs. The gym is missing a trendmill, there are bikes for cardio but not great options. The restaurant we had breakfast at was pretty good. The chicken and waffles was amazing and the bagel sandwich was delicious.

This historical restaurant is located right on the water - any closer and you'd be swimming. It's an old building full of history and fun stories on the menu of how it came to be. It's a special place and it's memorable. We've been several times for lunch and dinner throughout the years. This place has a beachy gift shop, a main waiting room with the hostess stand, an oceanfront indoor bar and lounge area, and the main dining room. For lunch, it's more laid back. The menu is sandwich-heavy but includes some non-sandwich items like fried shrimp plate, nova scotia scallops, and a special entree each day. It's a lot less busy for the most part during lunch in comparison to dinner. Dinner is a big to-do here. They open at 4pm for bar seating and to add your name to the dinner waitlist. If you want a table, especially one closer to the best view, you've gotta get there around 3:50-4 to get in line. They don't do reservations unless you're a larger party. You can then either leave and come back close to 5, or enjoy drinks at their bar if you're lucky enough to score seating. At dinner, the menu is definitely more extensive- featuring steaks, chops, and different fish/seafood specials. We love their prime rib, and the creamed spinach is perfect and old school. At lunch and dinner, don't miss out on their dessert tray presentation. The dessert tray has a lot of options - and it's a fun experience. Their bartenders are always nice and professional, and most importantly make a delicious cocktail. Cosmos, pear martinis, dirty martinis, all delicious each time we visit. Servers are also nice and professional too which lends to the charm of this old place! We had one bad scenario out of all of the times we visited regarding service from an assistant manager - but every other visit has been great! I love that they have GF options, like french onion soup made without the bread! On your way out, stop by the gift shop for even more goodies - their homemade blue cheese dip is not to miss! It's complementary at dinner, but honestly we like to buy extra for the house. They also sell dessert slices, and alcoholic beverages like rum runners, pain killers, margaritas, etc in two different sizes. Great to take to enjoy and walk down the beach!

    We were on vacation and decided to go and have dinner at the Ocean Grill. Our waiter, Andrew, was…read morevery attentive and knowledgeable. He answered every question we had about the food. I ordered Mahi with potatoes and creamy spinach. Everything was delicious except my partner's rice tasted terrible. It appeared that it was cooked with water that had a funky taste to it. They should taste the food that's coming out to the customers. The menu is very pricy. Expect to pay $250 for two people. They also have a cute gift shop... very pricy as well. A T-shirt costs $28. A chime that we saw there was $65 - we found the same chime on Amazon for $25. I did end up buying a small gift for my daughter.
