The food, service and ambience are all good and the menu selections are plentiful. I had lunch there and the food was great but keep in mind, they stop serving lunch at 2pm so get there before. The service is attentive and they have all kinds of sandwiches right thru to entrees and some killer desserts. They also serve drinks for those that are inclined. For Vero Beach the prices are reasonable, simply put, if you want cheap eats, Vero is isn't your kind of place unless you eat at Mulligan's but I wouldn't let my dog eat there.
The food was good,the food was good,best chopped salad I ever had.the food was fresh,great view,fresh seafood,great service
It has an older classic charm that doesn't impact the quality of food or the service. My husband and friend joined me for a fish lunch. We started our meal with a key lime pie. Shared of course and very delicious. Then lunch, we all had a grilled grouper sandwich with fries. Really good coffee and beer. Daphne was our server. Very friendly, warm and efficient. Food was delicious.
Went years ago(3) it is absolutely fabulous. Listen to your waiters Their recommendations are awesome. I don't eat dessert, however the Irish cake is fabulous!
My husband and I dined here about 3 weeks ago. The restaurant seems like the formal dining option in the area, though it seems more beach formal and the decor is very random and eclectic without a consistent theme. The restaurant is huge and the views and noise level of the table levels vary. We sat at table 22 which was more private and much more quiet, which I loved. They serve you bread at the start, which included their tasty blue cheese spread. My husband got the pasta primavera, which he loved. I got the French onion soup, which was below average and left much to be desired. Service was attentive. We finished with a chocolate cake, which was tasty but did taste very much like a boxed cake. Overall, we enjoyed our meal.
Another visit here, on a day with crummy weather... I had the Crab burger, she had the blue crab quiche. Both yummy as usual, portions perfect, service great, and very cool elegant old Florida vibe... we'll be back, this is def a go to spot right on the ocean when you're in Vero Beach!
We really lucked out when we decided to just park and find somewhere for lunch! The Ocean Grill sits right next to the ocean and the window views are spectacular. I ordered the scallops and they were so tender and the mustard sauce was perfect: subtle and not overpowering. The Pecan Rice Pilaf was a perfect accompaniment. Our server was attentive and refilled our sodas frequently. Check their website for information on reservations and party size requirements. You don't want to be disappointed and not be able to get in or have a long wait. The inside waiting area is small and can get crowded. Waiting outside would be an option depending on the weather. There is a small gift shop area, where they had some cool items. The website also has information on the restaurant's history and its pretty cool! We will definitely return when back in the Vero Beach area!
Ocean Grill is a beloved Vero Beach landmark. Perched dramatically above the beach, it serves as the heart of Oceanside Vero Beach. The restaurant is seasonally adorned, offering a spacious dining area that welcomes families, couples, seniors, and visitors of all ages. Adjacent to the main dining space is a lively bar, worth a visit on its own for its vibrant atmosphere. Given its popularity, expect a wait during peak times--it's wise to arrive early. True to its status as an "institution," Ocean Grill even features an expansive gift shop stocked with clothing, souvenirs, stuffed animals, and more. Despite the large crowds, the food consistently impresses with its freshness, quality, and thoughtful presentation. While seafood takes center stage, the diverse menu ensures there's something for everyone, including kids. With nearly a century of history, Ocean Grill stands as a testament to enduring quality and charm.
This is my favorite restaurant in Vero Beach. It has the absolutely best setting right on the ocean, what a spectacular view, wonderful service and food fitting of such fine surroundings. We had a big group this evening, celebrating a family birthday, and it seemed like everyone other than two of us, selected a completely different entree, allowing for each of us to enjoy a wide sampling of shared food. I started with the Caesar salad, and it came loaded with anchovies, just how I like it. For my main course, I had the seafood pasta, and it was loaded with fresh spinach, fresh clams, scallops, shrimp and crab. A lovely white sauce, complemented with more than a hint of garlic of course. For any entree you get two sides, and I went with their signature spinach soufflé and potatoes. Our service was tremendous, as you are accustomed to receiving at the Ocean Grill. If you've never been, you should give it a try, though be aware reservations are not accepted, except for large groups.
It's yummy for lunch; finally went for dinner. It did not disappoint! Service was great; tequila cosmos were perfect. I split with another, we shared prime rib and two lobster tails. Prime rib was soo delicious, tender and tasty; lobsters were nicely cooked really small for the price tho. I had the stuffed Potato which was delish. Onion rings are perfect, great size, crisp and yum!! The place is Florida beach and really comfy casual nice. Great place!!
