We registered our booking on arrival with the rather snooty individual at reception for six diners and went for a drink in the bar. Squeezed into the narrow space overlooking the beach and no sooner had we put our drinks to our lips we were told to go to our table or else we would lose our booking. We asked... More

Restaurant on the ocean in Vero Beach, BUT, you cannot sit outside, in room dining only with some tables having a view of the ocean through the window (dirty window). Service was fine, waitress helpful and courteous. Food lousey. Blue Crab casserole tasted like cold tuna fish with pickles in it, no sauce, no cheese, no casserole. Just some tarter... More

They know how to do lobster roll like you want it. Not heavy mayonnaise, not tiny bits, big chunks of fresh lobster with a light dressing on a bun that is perfect. We drive an hour for it. The rest of the menu is ok, crab cake is mediocre. Just ignore the rest of the menu and do the lobster.... More

The view is worth the trip. We were right on the ocean. The menu choices for salads were slim but the seafood was good...not great. The desserts were WONDERFUL! and the service was top notch. The place was built by Waldo Sexton so the ambiance is similar to by he driftwood lodge only level and a little more up scale.... More

The service was fantastic! Ask for the ocean view table and their famous Painkiller drink! A bit pricey but worth it.

This is one of the "old style" restaurants where you get smoked fish dip, lots of bread, full size salad, entree with two sides, and hopefully you can eat it all! The prices seemed high, but the amount of food equated to the check. Great Soft Shell Crab and Grouper, both from local waters.

Enjoyed Cajun grouper and a nicely prepared red snapper. Sides were very good as well. service was very friendly, good and knowledgeable. Host was also very friendly & parking was convenient.

Go to this place a half-hour before sunset-it's west-facing, directly on the river, right under the bridge to the beachfront. Very scenic. Otherwise, it's a noisy bar atmosphere, marginal service, but decent food for the money. Had the crab cake dinner, which was over $20, but came with two hockey puck-sized cakes that were almost all crab meat. Could have... More

As a Vero Beach resident, I have frequented the Ocean Grill many times. On my last visit I took a friend and his wife as our guests. They had never been to the Ocean Grill and was hoping to enjoy a peaceful adult dinner together. To make a long story short, my friend's wife ended up leaving literally in tears... More
