I enjoyed a specialty drink and then switched to prosecco. My server, Sarah, was outstanding and provided top notch service. They start you off with a yummy sweet cornbread service. I ate too much of the bread! For my meal, I started with the steak tartare and it was excellent, high quality beef. I then moved onto the chargrilled oysters which were a 1000/10! Amazing flavor... the blend of the butter and 3 cheeses was perfect! I then had the best pork chop I've ever eaten in my life. They brine it for 24 hours in a sweet tea mixture... I was thinking that would taste weird or sweet but it was neither. The chop was simply the most divine, juicy and flavorful pork chop I have ever consumed. Words can't express the deliciousness! It was 10000000/10. The chop was paired with the best grits I've ever had. I take grits seriously as a southern woman and those were magnificent. Restaurant was very clean. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. The manager worked the room all night attending to guests and making sure everyone was happy. I highly recommend and will absolutely be back!!

The mashed potatoes were smooth and fluffy. It also came with a small order of bread and the cornbread pieces were great. I'm sure the dine in experience would've made everything even better.

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.

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.

We started with fried calamari. It came out way too fast to have been made to order. It was a tad over fried, so it was rubbery. Tasted like the kind you buy frozen . You know, already breaded. The order was a large quantity , but that doesn't make it good. I ordered shrimp & scallop Pomadoro. The hubs ordered linguine with white clam sauce. That had 2 clams in shells on the top of the pasta, and the rest was canned clams. Believe me, You can tell. My dish was almost fair. The menu read tomato basil cream sauce. More like marinara with a touch of cream. A leaf of basil chopped up on top. The shrimp, scallops & pasta were cooked well, but the almost raw garlic and heavy handed on the salt took away from what might have been an acceptable dish. We also had minestrone soup. Could have fooled me. There was not a bean to be found. The pasta was pastina & it had some type of shredded meat?? Lastly, the coffee was not drinkable. We've heard people, at times , say they have had coffee that tasted like dishwater . We never experienced that until tonight. I ordered decaf & the hubs had reg. They both sucked. One sip was all it took. . We didn't mention anything to the waitress as it's not anything to do with her. But I will write this review as well as a google one. The place was packed. It's dark in the front room . It was ok in the side room where we were. Typical Italian decor. Wine bottles on the walls, that kind of thing. Again we were really disappointed. It's hard to spend $125 and not really enjoy it. Now we know. Armani's in downtown Vero is 100% better. We went there 3 days ago. I will write about that place as that will receive 5 stars. Oh and don't bother with the extra calories by eating the garlic bread . It was Italian bread cut into French fry shape with way too much garlic powder & low grade parmigiana cheese.

It was perfectly crispy, and the fresh lemon squeezed over it at the end was a fantastic touch. For my entrée, I had the lamb with ratatouille, and it was absolutely amazing--packed with flavor. The harissa served with the pita bread added a nice kick and complemented the dish perfectly. My wife ordered the shaved lamb, and it was clearly not the typical store-bought variety. It tasted house-made, and the flavor was outstanding. We finished with the baklava, which was excellent--super flaky, not overly sweet, and filled with natural honey flavors. Overall, a fantastic dining experience with outstanding service and delicious food. We will definitely be back!

From the delicious food to the beautiful, romantic atmosphere, this restaurant is definitely a little gem in Vero Beach! I ordered the pretzel-crusted chicken, served with caramelized carrots and fingerling potatoes, and it was absolutely delicious! The chicken was incredibly moist and tender on the inside, with the perfect pretzel crunch on the outside. The caramelized carrots were wonderfully sweet and complemented the dish beautifully. We started our evening with the truffle Parmesan fries, and let me tell you, they were AMAZING! Easily one of my favorite parts of the meal! If you visit, these are a must-try! Eric ordered the barbecue chicken pizza, freshly baked in their outdoor coal-fired oven, and he absolutely loved it! Now, let's talk about the ambience, because that's another thing that makes Post & Vine so special! The restaurant offers a beautiful, covered outdoor dining area with such a charming and romantic atmosphere. Despite being outdoors in Florida, it was surprisingly cool and comfortable thanks to the large, beautiful ceiling fans that keep the air circulating. It's the perfect setting for a romantic date night, a relaxing dinner, or simply enjoying good food and conversation. Another wonderful bonus is that Post & Vine is dog-friendly! You can bring your furry companion along, which makes the experience even more inviting for those of us who consider our pets part of the family. There's something special about enjoying a delicious meal in a romantic, open-air setting, surrounded by a comfortable breeze and a relaxed atmosphere.
