After living in Vero Beach for nearly 3 years I really REGRET not coming here sooner. The food is absolutely sublime! The atmosphere for a date night was just perfect. After a long day of preparation for Easter for 3 daughters we needed a moment for us, before the next days celebration. We had the back room to ourselves and it was just perfect. I just had to say, my husband loves to cook for me, especially short ribs and a beautiful brown sauce and he is amazing at it. Well, this blew him and I both away. Also, the skewers were something out of this world. There is an article about them in Vero Mag. This place is a secret we want to keep to ourselves but a place with this much talent is meant to be celebrated. Ohhh and the Short Rib Rangoons! Thank you curfew for giving to very busy parents a couple hours to just connect and enjoy a wonderful place. We cannot wait to come back again. We had Short Rib Rangoon, Bubbly Crab & Artichoke Dip, steak skewer, Deviled Eggs, & a main Short Rib, Mashed Potatoes, Roasted Vegetables, Curfew Gravy. read more

The ambiance is uninspired. We didn't eat, drinking was our focus. The music was good! :) The place was clean for sure. Prices were on point for the local market. We left because the bartender, Dillon I believe, was uninterested, a bit rude and completely lackadaisical in my informed opinion. In this case we had one and moved on across the street! You can trust me, I was in the business! ;D read more

Service was fantastic. We walked in, first I would recommend a reservation, however they did a great job to accommodate us. Food and drink were both amazing. Deviled eggs, salad, steak skewers, crab dip, and shrimp were all fantastic. The dessert of cinnamon bread and dolce ice cream was life changing! read more

Went here for a large group dinner and it did not disappoint. We basically ordered most things on the menu other than the full plate dinners. We were able to try so many items and they are all excellent. Service was very very good. Drink menu was also very creative. A great spot that I would definitely go to again. read more

Came in for the UCF game and honestly wasn't expecting the food to smack this hard, but here we are. Curfew delivered. Started with the edamame hummus and it was wild in the best way. Smoky, creamy, and plated with carrot "petals" that looked cool, but definitely needed more of them because they hid a whole secret layer of hummus underneath. I ended up asking for extra bread like a responsible adult. No regrets. For my main I got the Curfew Bowl with chicken and it was legit perfect. The cilantro lime rice, the charred corn, the sweet plantains, the avocado sauce, the jalapeños... everything worked together. It's one of those dishes that's comforting but still light enough that you don't feel like you swallowed a bowling ball. Huge portion too. Service was great. My server was on point and even brought out a frosted bottle of water like I was dining in Valhalla. And shoutout to the five dollar beers today. A blessing. Solid spot for food, drinks, and watching a game. I'll definitely be back. read more

This is an interesting review because I came to this place for a birthday dinner. Really nice intimate spot and atmosphere. My drinks were amazing. And I ordered the southern smash burger and it was so delicious I didn't snap a picture. I would definitely come back here as a date night read more

While visiting family in Vero Beach we went to Curfew not once, but twice in a week, it's that good. We actually sat at the same table and had the same server twice, Sherrie. She is very attentive and friendly, ask for her. The menu offers so many great options. Being from NY and a fish lover I had the Pompano twice because I do not see this fish typically on NY menus, it's that good LOL. Everything we had was cooked perfectly, tender skirt steak and short ribs, Sacchettini (pasta) was amazing, burrata and beet salad delicious, I can go on and on. We had the key lime pie and bread pudding for dessert, so decadent and delicious. They have a great drink menu too, loved the cocktails. We also enjoyed the playlist, lots of songs from the 70's. Just a great vibe. We met the owner Tia, she was so lovely. If I lived in Vero Beach, Curfew would be a regular spot for me. read more

Really cool place. Went there for date night with the wife and we RARELY get any of those. Ordered a few appetizers and a dinner. The short rib rangoons were excellent. The steak skewers blew my mind. Like put a cape on fantastic because it was super fantastic. The deviled eggs were good and so was the crab and artichoke dip. The brazed short rib was excellent and the wife was really happy with that because that is one of her favorite things to eat. Our server was beyond amazing so yes we will be coming back very frequently and I'm not saying just yes but I'm saying like the herbal essence shampoo commercials from back in the day yes and if you don't know the reference you are not old and you are up past your bedtime read more

As noted in my last review a year ago, my first experience at Curfew when it opened was fantastic. On this visit, dinner was very good overall, with one exception: the fish was grilled on only one side, and the grill grate burned the fish in the process. It really overpowered the flavor of the fish. The biggest surprise of the evening came after dinner. A double Tito's cocktail on the rocks was priced at $20. After just five drinks, the cocktail total alone came to $100. We dine out at least twice a week and almost always sit at the bar, and I have never paid $20 for a Tito's cocktail. We left feeling discouraged, and unfortunately our only recourse is to not return. It's always puzzling when a restaurant tries to maximize profit on cocktails at the expense of customer goodwill and repeat business. That approach ultimately hurts the staff and the chef as much as the guests. We typically enjoy sitting at the bar for a few hours, socializing and supporting the establishment. This was a Friday night, yet the bar was empty aside from us--which may help explain why. read more

We are loving this restaurant. The food is delicious and has a unique flair. The side room is super cute and comfortable. Will definitely bring people who visit to this restaurant. So far we've tried 6 different items on their menu and all of them were great. I wish they were open for lunch during the week! read more

We had a large group of 13 for dinner. Our appetizers came out on time, but the main courses were served very sporadically. Some people were finishing their meals while others were just getting theirs, and one of our salads didn't arrive until the very end. We enjoyed the appetizers and the drinks were fun, but the entrée bowl (with options for fish or shrimp) wasn't good at all -- no one at our table liked it. read more

One of the worst meals ever Its a burger joint stay away from the frozen, overcooked Pompano over under cooked, rice swimming in butter. service was good. the place is cute. Will 6 of us return? No read more

There's no place better than Curfew. I guarantee this is the best food in Vero Beach. We tried so many different things and everything was great. We went to their happy hour from 3-6. We ordered: Angel Hair Croquettes, Braised Beef Wontons, Smash Burger and Waffle Fries, and the Jerk Shrimp. Overall, I would give the food a 9.5. The sauce that comes with the Braised Beef Wontons is phenomenal. I started smashing the Wontons and the Croquettes together and it's literally the best thing I've eaten in a long time. Mike the bartender, made a a great cocktail. The whole vibe was very friendly and seems like a great spot day or night. read more

I loved Curfew! I came for a Sunday Funday to listen to DJ Louie G and I was so stoked the food was great and the drinks reasonably priced! There's an option for bottomless drinks, but I decided to do a mix of different things and loved the fully loaded bloody. The food was AWESOME. Type of awesome that I kept eating everything before taking pictures Great service! A bunch of us ended up dancing the afternoon away and it was so fun! read more

Curfew is one of our favorite places to dine in Vero. The menu has a varied selection of choices that complements the small plate vibe. Service has always been excellent and the decor lends itself to a unique atmosphere. We take out of town guests and all have raved about the restaurant. 10/10! read more

Had a wonderful dinner at the curfew. The decor is beautiful and the food delicious. I had the pineapple chicken tacos which was so good. My partner had a smash burger which was also tasty. Our server Sherrie was friendly and attentive. We will definitely come back. read more

Been here a couple times, and already a personal favorite of mine in Vero! Such a great local spot with amazing food, fantastic drink selection, and the quality staff/service to match it. Has a unique modern, yet comforting vibe to it. Highly recommended. read more

Drinks were good. Apps OK. Bartender nice. that's all I have to say I can't think of anything more that would wind up to 85 characters.

Bartender was fun. He really seemed to enjoy his job. He gave recommendations & made a tasty cocktail. First time late night menu was only available. We enjoyed our meals. Second visit I wasn't a fan of the fried rice. I asked for the shrimp grilled. I had to wait for them to be remade bc they were served breaded. The fried rice was like sticky rice & tasted like jambalaya. Wasn't what I was expecting. Really nice seating area. Plenty of bar seating. Outside tables as well. The restroom was clean & the decor was cute. Recommended. read more

A great night out in Vero Beach! Our group did some Roll of the Dice-- you roll a dice and get a random shot, chaser, and beer back! Such a sweet venue in downtown Vero and enjoyable for our large group on a girls trip. Would absolutely recommend for a fun night out on vacation read more

It just okay, not too special, not sure the food was good enough at the price point to go back. They also had some weird policies about splitting the check, we went there with two other couples which made it awkward. read more

Vero Beach is unfamiliar territory to my family and I, it was the middle point between where my fiancé and I live and my parents so we chose Curfew as our meeting point. We were pleasantly surprised! The restaurant is located in the downtown area and had plenty of street parking around it. Upon arrival we were greeted by their hostess who led us inside to our table. We had an early dinner so it wasn't too busy but still had quite a few patrons, nonetheless, the service and food was great! Our waitress was friendly, well versed in their menu options and was super attentive! We started off with their Angel Hair croquettes and their bourbon cheese and pretzel bites. So good! For my meal I chose their crispy chicken sandwich which was delicious. My fiancé had their popcorn cobia lettuce wraps. My dad had their steak skewers and my mom had their Greek salad with chicken. My mother in law had their southern smash burger which looked amazing! For dessert we chose their flourless chocolate cake which was very decadent! I definitely recommend this restaurant to those checking out Vero Beach! read more

Curfew in Vero has a cool, laid-back vibe once you're inside, but finding parking was a bit of a challenge, so give yourself some extra time if you're heading over during peak hours. Once seated, we were taken care of by Joe, our waiter, who was very talkative but also clearly knew the menu inside and out. He made a few suggestions, and we decided to trust him, glad we did! We had the short rib and teriyaki tacos along with the edamame hummus, and everything was delicious. A fun spot with a great atmosphere and solid food. I'll be back, next time with a better parking plan! read more

Big fun tapas and lively bar with some bespoke mixology. Very yummy. We had four skewers mussels popcorn cobia fish lettuce wraps and a southern smash burger. All tasty and we felt very well served. Kudos to the manager Alicia who took care of us because one of the entrees was pretty late due to a kitchen error. We'd go right back. No regrets. I'd give five stars if there were categories here on yelp as this isn't fine dining but oh so good and enjoyable. read more

Dined here tonight with 3 family members. Nice selection of Florida beers and both classic and modern cocktails. Set up so you don't have to share, but you should. Love the jerk shrimp and the jalapeño fish spread. Check out the skewers and don't forget the meatballs with polenta. Just awesome. Ordered 8 items for 4 people and it was just the right amount of food. Made my trip to Vero Beach! read more

Skylar was amazing. Will definitely come back to curfew. S'mores expresso martini was off the chain

We have been here 3 times so far. Each time we had a great experience. The food is amazing and the service excellent. They have a bar area which can be a little loud and another rather large separate room which is quite and quite lovely. Highly recommend. read more

Great environment and delicious food! We have enjoyed this establishment for main course and light bites!

I have been here twice and had good tasty small plate options both times. All of us REALLY enjoyed our cocktails which were really crafted and delicious. The drinks were better than the food which was good though. read more

Their website assays open late but fails to mention that the menu is cut down to only fried bar food and burgers after 10:00. We left without even ordering. read more

Curfew was a pleasant surprise. We began the night with tasty cocktails. My wife had the Manhattan made with Lo-Fi Amaro. I had a Spring Training which is a well made spicy margarita (7 out of 10 for spiciness). We split our meals; fried rice with tender short rib (amazing), and the chorizo mac & cheese (the chorizo may have made this a little salty, but I liked it). Michelle was our bartender, and she was extremely knowledgeable and super friendly. Michael was also behind the bar and he too was friendly. The ambience was modern with almost a South Florida vibe, which we enjoyed. Can't wait to go back. Leave some room for desserts. read more

Curfew is my go-to in Vero. I always get the wings, the mussels, or the Curfew Bowl, and the Espresso Martini is unmatched. The team is great and they actually stay open late -- no closing early like everywhere else. Also a great vibe! read more

Curfew is our go-to place for date night. The food is amazing. It's all a a la carte and they bring each dish out as it's made. Great for sharing a variety of dishes. The fried rice and your choice of protein is the best I've ever had. Our waitress Casey is the best!!! read more

I took mom to dinner at Curfew last week when I was down in Vero visiting. We like to try new places. We sat at a hightop by the window, great for people-watching. I think their early reviews are on target The former "Southern Social" location offers a menu of many smaller plates, great for sharing. We tried four, each excellent and presented with flair. (You can also order a larger plate for dinner, but we did not.) Curfew's mussels in an unusual cream sauce: delicious! Skewered marinated salmon: delicious. Superb and generous take on classic Ceasar salad. And their Key Lime Pie was awesome. Wines by the glass were high quality and fairly priced (I know, how rare!) Our server was excellent, and fun. My ONLY complaint: The music! A cool new spot on 14th Ave needs better than 70s/80s (hardish) rock 'n roll -- just out of step with the place and too loud as well for conversation. Ugh. Try some chill-lounge downtempo music that fits the stylish room and its happy clientele. This has to be the easiest thing for any new restaurant to fix. Otherwise, I'd have given them 5 stars. I'll definitely be back. read more

We had a great experience again! Casey, our server, was very helpful. We had shrimp cocktail, short ribs Rangoon, fried green tomatoes w/ pimento cheese, salmon skewers and Cuban empanadas; all were very good. The drinks were great, plenty of creative choices. We finished off with key lime pie and chocolate ganache cake. Just great from start to finish. read more
