He asked the organizer when to bring the cake to the table and made sure the table was clean before hand and kept it from the person celebrating their birthday. Andrew definitely made the experience.

If you're counting calories or looking for a trendy cocktail menu, keep driving. This is old Florida at its finest, barefoot fishermen, sun-weathered regulars, and people who'd rather be on the water than worrying about appearances. If you want a basket of fried seafood, an affordable drink, and a place where nobody cares what you're wearing, or if you even have TEETH, you'll fit right in.

We wandered into the Village Tavern of Sebastian on a Saturday afternoon after running errands, and…read moreit instantly felt like one of those hidden gems you kick yourself for not finding sooner. We live just down the road in Vero Beach, so discovering a neighborhood tavern with this much charm practically in our backyard was a real win. We had already eaten lunch at Nini's Cuban across the parking lot, so we stopped in just for a beer. Within minutes we were pulled straight into the atmosphere. Nancy, the bartender and proprietor, is the kind of host every small tavern dreams of. Warm, funny, and completely at ease, she makes newcomers feel like long‑time regulars while keeping the whole place running smoothly. The beer selection is far better than you would expect from a cozy local spot. There is a rotating craft lineup that rivals bigger bars, along with the classics and a surprisingly solid wine list. We spent half our visit sipping and the other half laughing at the hilarious signs covering the walls and at the antics of a couple of regulars who clearly keep the place lively. We have not tried the food yet, but the vibe alone guarantees we will be back and we will be coming hungry. This is the kind of place where you settle in, meet the locals, and let the afternoon drift. For the record, our beer of choice that day was "Cougar Bait." It is as much fun to drink as it is to say!

From the moment I slid onto a barstool, I knew I was in for something special -- and not just because the beer list reads like a love letter to hop heads and casual sippers alike. Each pint poured is thoughtful, crisp, and refreshing, with local craft brews rubbing shoulders beside tried‑and‑true favorites. I lost count somewhere around the third flight, but honestly? Worth it. And then there's Nancy, the bartender -- sweet lord, if every tavern had her warmth and precision, we'd all be happier people. She recommended beers without braggy pretension, anticipated refills like a mind reader, and managed a perfect balance of friendly conversation and professional grace. Her service alone is worth the trip. Great food, killer beers, and a bartender who makes you feel like a VIP? Village Tavern doesn't just raise the bar -- it is the bar.

It just started raining and some of…read morethe outer tables were getting wet so we took refuge at the center bar and met with the bartender who provided two of his favorite meals and we took his advice. As we waited under ten minutes for our meal, the wife was in awe of the choo choo train the circled the bar above our heads, a cool addition that goes a long way. Grilled Shrimp Skewers and NY Strip French Dip. OMG the shrimp were awesome with the crispy carrot wedges were a nice side. Drenched my NY Strip hoagie into the french dip since I love it soggy and it was perfectly flavored. The french fries were plentiful and seasoned well but not as crispy as I would like. The restaurant sits on the river but since it was late there was no view, but we were able to hear the live rock n' roll music coming from the stage at the Sandbar. The clean gender assigned bathroom was gorgeous with green ocean themed epoxy flooring, lizard skin walls and bamboo partitions. It was a WOW effect upon entry.

Some changes in dishes we determined were just food costs cuts. This year my son and his family came and we had an early dinner. My 3 yr old granddaughter was excited to go to the shop that was usually by the hostess stand. It was relocated but now had nothing for children. The service was slow but we thought maybe it was busy since it was tourist season. The food was just fair. Last night was my birthday and of all the restaurants in town I chose Blackfins. What a mistake. Walking in was dangerously slick since they had flooding from earlier rain. We were sat in a small booth by the window. We had to walk out of the way since a dog that was a size of a horse was sprawled out on the floor. Our table was absolutely disgusting! It was dirty and sticky and the coasting of shellac had apparently gotten melted and was sticky and black. Even the seat was dirty and I ended up whipping away pieces of paper on my seat with my hands. Everything including my arms stuck to the table. It took awhile for a very young person with zero personality come to take our order. We gave him a drink and appetizer order. I was attempting to forget about how disgusting the table and the large dog was with the view. The drink that didn't have enough ice although I requested a tall glass with lots of ice arrived with the appetizer. It was good despite being served with greasy fried saltines. When I attempted to start eating a very large Woodstork was fishing on the rocks when the people with the large dog started throwing crackers at it..despite signs everywhere not to feed the birds. It then came up to the window and came too close for me to eat since it was eyeing our food. My husband sat still, told me to do so as well and was holding a knife should it attack. After 15 minutes it finally went away. Now our food was cold. We complained to the waiter but all he could offer was, "Thank you for telling me." No offer to relocate. Our main meals came. Both of our fish were way overcooked. Mine was dry and not edible. My husband's was dry but he didn't complain since my birthday dinner was basically ruined anyway. Forget the dessert I just wanted out of that dirty sticky area. So sad! I will have to find somewhere else to take me and my family.

We went on a weekday morning so it's possible that maybe reservations are more necessary for dinner and/or weekends when they do the character breakfast.

Both my husband and I really enjoyed our meals, the portioning was huge, so come with a big appetite!! The pricing was very fair and felt like almost cheaper compared to regular Disney prices.

The waterfront location is definitely a plus. Hard to complain too loudly when you're sitting near the water with a breeze rolling through and boats drifting by. Service was genuinely good, and the Bloody Mary definitely looked the part. Tall glass, spicy rim, tasty shrimp perched on top like it had somewhere better to be. Unfortunately, the cocktail's flavor was duller than last week's dishwater. This one was definitely more BM and less Bloody Mary. The Margherita flatbread followed the same script. Perfectly edible, but completely forgettable. Like someone phoned it in long distance and left me hanging. Flat and flavorless. Strike two. Now the fried fish bites? Different story. Hot, crunchy, flavorful, and exactly what beach bar food should be. Those little guys understood the assignment and saved the day. Next time, I'm sticking to cold beers on tap and bar-food basics. Sometimes the safest harbor is fried seafood and a cold draft beer.
