Café Verde is hands down one of my top two favorite restaurants in New Smyrna Beach. Every visit…read morefeels fresh and flavorful, but I always order the Veggie Gyro--it's that good. Their ceviche is also consistently fresh and delicious. They recently remodeled, adding a much larger covered veranda surrounded by lush plants, creating a beautiful, relaxing outdoor space. Inside, the clean, air-conditioned dining room offers a comfortable spot to enjoy your meal no matter the weather. While they shine with creative vegetarian and vegan-friendly dishes, Café Verde also offers tasty options for meat eaters, making it a great spot for everyone. Plus, their happy hour runs 7 days a week, making it an ideal place to unwind with great food and drinks. If you're looking for a vibrant, welcoming spot with something delicious for every palate, Café Verde is a must-visit! Highly recommend!

Salad Brussel Sprouts were good…read more Street corn was delicious. Had a bowl with pulled pork. Guacamole Pico de Gallo. Black Beans. With what they claim is "Red Rice" Bowl was good. BUT It isn't actually Red Rice . There's such a thing called red Rice. Don't false advertise white rice and add coloring to it or add saffron . And the very dim lights make it hard to see the food and the menu. I've had better black beans . The Sweet Plantains. They're not sweet if you char them black. They're supposed to be cooked or sautéed in oil or butter sprinkle some sugar on them to create a Glaze. Pulled pork was dry Unacceptable. I usually give it 5 stars but this time it was a dissapointment.

I had the radical rice plate with Spanish rice and pork. It was delicious. Very well balanced flavors. My husband had the Mofongo with pork and he said ir was good. The sauce can be a bit over powering if you end up using too much like he did so heads up Our daughters split the tacos and burritos and both loved the burrito and thought the tacos were "mid" teenager talk that means nothing special Our son had the pork sandwich and loved it. It comes with chips and he thought those were a bit bland but the sandwich made up for it Overall would come back. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. They had a pretty nice line when we got here but the line moved fast and the food came out pretty quick. It was fresh, hot and pretty flavorful. I love that it's open sitting. We got to enjoy the nice weather while we ate our food. They have a couple ceiling fans that help on a hot day.

They were very kind and provided great suggestions. The food was delicious. I'm sad we didn't make it back there during our visit. The empanada was stuffed and flavorful. The tenderloin was so tender and tasty. The kids enjoyed their pancakes and French toast. I had the chorizo skillet, and it was yummy. I was trying to save some for later, but couldn't stop eating it. This is a solid place for breakfast/brunch. Looking forward to going back and sitting inside or outside.

As with most beach towns, there is usually some kind of pub/tavern for people watching (or a night…read moreof serious drinking if that's your jam). This place is right along Flagler Avenue and not too far from the beach. We went on a quiet evening and sat outside on the patio. Inside was live music and lots of chatting patrons so we opted for the quiet outdoors. My sense was this place can get pretty lively. The server was friendly, easy-going, and attentive without being annoying. The key lime margarita was delicious--creamy and bright citrus hits. The fried haddock was well done- not greasy, a good size piece of fish, a yummy tartar sauce, and really good fries. The black grouper was solid too. Good size piece of fish, grilled such that it was still juicy and yummy, and the bun was good too. Keep in mind that this place can get really busy during the weekends and especially weekends in the summer. Definitely worth stopping in! We look forward to making our way back there again.

HOLY COW. Spanish River Grill!…read more This NSB gem is truly amazing. I had multiple friends recommend for dinner and everyone agreed it's one of their favorites in town. Well, they were 100% right and I was blown away. Our table of 5 ordered some serious goodies - I just wish we could have eaten more so we could have tried everything on the menu. The bacon wrapped dates were some of the best I've ever had. The whipped cheese with honey was insanely good. The chicken entree was wild -- so tender and flavorful and the potatoes were to die for. We ordered dessert and it was so good and went so fast that we actually ordered a second cake. The food came out super fast and our server was awesome. The restaurant is very low key but nice, nothing stuffy or too casual. I honestly was so surprised but so happy with the experience. Come one, come all, and enjoy your feast!

This is why I'm not a Jimmy Hula's fan…read more.. The loaded tater tot nachos were soggy, the burger was decent but nothing special, and the fries? They have some kind of lime seasoning that completely missed the mark for me. The bright spot was the rice bowl. It was fresh, flavorful, and easily the best thing we ordered. The ordering process is simple... order at the counter, find a seat, and they bring your food out. I also liked the variety of indoor and outdoor seating. Overall, it wasn't terrible, but there are too many better burger spots around for me to make a return trip.

Stopped in for a casual afternoon lunch and left feeling... whelmed. Not overwhelmed, not…read moreunderwhelmed, just cruising at a steady 3-star tide. The vibe is doing a lot of the work here. Beachy theme, plenty of outdoor seating, and a solid location near the water (not quite toes-in-the-sand, but close enough to feel the breeze). It wasn't busy when I stopped in, which made for an easy, relaxed lunch. I went with the Surfin' Cali Burrito, because commitment to the theme felt necessary. Portions are big and prices are reasonable, so no complaints there. But flavor-wise, it was more "gentle ripple" than "flavor wave." Not bad, just not something I'd go out of my way to order again. This spot really feels like it shines more as a bar than a restaurant. I can see it being great for drinks, hanging out, and soaking in the atmosphere. As a food destination, it's decent, but not exactly making a splash. It was also pretty warm inside, though with all the doors open, that's kind of part of the laid-back setup. Bottom line: Good vibes, fair prices, generous portions, and okay food.
