It's in what's called the Miracle Mile shopping area in Vero Beach. Very nice storefront, we were immediately greeted and welcomed once inside. A lovely display case filled with delectable looking cakes and cupcakes. Next to that was a cooler with various exotic flavors of gelato. My wife got the fudge brownie and I got the vanilla coconut. Both out of this world and like the Reese's old commercial together they tasted amazing. We also ordered a strawberry cupcake with white frosting and topped with coconut and a sliced strawberry on top. Looked and tasted wonderful.

The steak we ordered arrived on a very hot rock that caused grease to splatter all over the table and our clothes, ruining a pair of shorts. We had to ask for a plate to manage the situation. When we spoke to the manager afterward, they mentioned that they were already aware of the hot rock issue but offered no apology, no discount, and did not seem to view it as a problem worth addressing. Just overall very disappointing. The food is decent but for a $300+ dinner, i expect a little bit more than that.

The restaurant has what is termed blue wave lighting so I apologize for the quality of the pics. I just didn't know how to escape the blue hue. Service was outstanding! We had a larger party and special care was provided to all of us in attendance. I started with the gazpacho, which was just okay. The paella though was wonderful. This Cuban influenced version is a bit different than the traditional Spanish version with which I have far more experience. My guess was the biggest difference was in the saffron which I didn't pick up here. Visually, and you'll have to trust me here, a wonderful presentation. A great time was had by all. Warning though, the portions are very large.

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!

It's a feeble attempt at street food. Two pieces of meat in a taco and all shredded veggies and they charged 4.00 ea. It wasn't anything special not even remotely, stick to your OJ. Oh and I forgot to mention most importantly "it gave me the runs". I was sick for two days. Good luck. read more

They were having margarita on the rocks as a special, so I ordered it, but I asked that it would be a weak one because I was driving I have to say when I got the bill I was shocked. A regular margarita on the rocks was a few dollars because of the special they were having. But for a margarita that hardly had any liquor in it they charged me $16. They called it a skinny margarita. I think that there was some kind of miscommunication between my server who did not speak or apparently understand English very well. Because this drink was more expensive than most of the entrées. He did not give me the special drink or the special price but apparently they invented something called a skinny margarita and that justified $16. I took a star off for that As far as the food, it was excellent. Both my party and I had chli relleno and a taco. This is one of the few places you can actually get a hard shell taco, which is what I prefer. The service was good with a smile. But again the miscommunication about the margarita was astounding. Because of the price of a margarita or out of the gouging of the customer for this very small restaurant, I took off a star. If this was a top-notch Mexican restaurant in let's say Palm Beach or Jupiter then you know you're going to pay $16 for a margarita. But when you're eating at a small restaurant in a strip mall in Fort Pierce, you do not expect to pay $16 for a weak Margarita.

Plus there is easy parking. Our service was excellent. Even though it seemed there was only one person working he did a fabulous job. We started with the table side guacamole and it was excellent. I also had the premium margarita and someone else had the blueberry margarita and we loved every sip. For food we had everything from fried shrimp, enchiladas, fajitas and chicken dishes. Everyone enjoyed their meals. As it was my birthday they brought me a fried ice cream which was enough for all of us to share. It was an excellent meal and I would highly recommend giving it a try. I can't wait to go back!
