Sort of funny how the wife and I found this place. I started this system when there were no smart phones, and continue this method even as they exist. If in a town and wondering where I should go, I seek out a bar with an adjective-animal in its name. Blind Pig. Fainting Goat. Happy Monkey. Whatever. Yes, I know a mermaid is only half fish, but it is my game and therefore it qualifies. Anyway, another thing my wife and I seek out is FONDUE. Thus, when we crossed my search of adjective-animal bars and her search of fondue...bingo. We made a great choice. This place just bleeds good vibes from the moment you walk in. Unique exterior, beer garden area, cool wall decor, corners with all sorts of stuff going on, cool outdoor patio area, and, most importantly, great service. Thor (I assume one of the managers) greeted us, and elevated our experience. He was just covering until the other bartender came on, but we enjoyed the heck out his friendliness, efficiency, humor, and knowledge of the menu and of the bar. We got the three cheese fondue dish, and it was amazing. Plenty of cheese, plenty of dippers. We didn't add protein (I believe that cheese has protein in it), and I thought the pretzel and potato were the best dippers, although bread is a given as a good choice. PLENTY of beer on tap, and I had the Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA. Wife had the rose and liked it also. We went when they first opened, but you just had a feeling, looking around, that the place got FUN later on. Energetic background music, great atmosphere overall, fun people coming in, and this stop was awesome during our Vero Beach trip. I highly recommend, and see you there (the next time I go see my mom)...

Cashew bowl with tofu

10/10 for inclusive spaces!! And for having vegan options!! Super cute and even odd looking bar/restaurant/other space in Vero Beach. Limited parking shared with other businesses. Notable: This business charges an extra 3% on top of your bill to pay their staff, plus you are expected to tip. It is clearly noted in the menu. Lots of good beverages to choose!! Excited for vegan food, we ordered a vegan empanada app which was interesting in a puff pastry. I hope the pastry dough was sans butter. I ordered the cashew bowl plus tofu when I was told the tofu came crispy. I can attest this is not crispy tofu hahaha. And, as a plant based eater, I encourage the team to continue practicing their vegan cooking. I can't wait to come back. I want better meals though, as mine was a miss. I have faith though!! They are on the right track. Overall, highly recommend this fun and whimsical loving place.

The band was playing and we enjoyed listening! The waitress/staff were quick to see what we were drinking. I decided not to have the grilled squid, but on a whim ordered it . It was cooked almost perfect and had a nice accompanying sauce. Yum!! You can sit inside where the band is, or outside and it's not loud at all. Enjoyed our visit and felt very welcomed. The Smithwick Irish Red beer was our go to with the octopus. We will be back to try more on the menu.

This place is amazing! I just stopped in for a quick bite but was surprised and delighted to find a Drag Bingo occurring! Tasty food, VEGAN options, great service. What more can you ask for?!?

Fisherman's Pot Pie

Great food, music, service, & vibe. Amazing fish pot pie & steak sandwich. Best potato salad ever. Wish we were with more people to try a fondue or charcuterie board. We will definitely return!

Swiss cheese fondue was incredible!!!!!

This little gem is a true gem! Found it via Yelp and we were not disappointed. It's sort of a hole in the wall, if you go in the back way like we did, but it's fantastic. The waitstaff seems to be really happy. Numerous people stopped at our table for various things throughout the evening. So we were in no way neglected there. The food is absurdly great and absurdly cheap. We got the cheese fondue (Swiss) and it was friggin' delicious. Pictured, though dark. Lots of bread, veggies, and we got the extra chicken as well served two for about $20!!! For two people!!! Dessert was the brownie and ice cream thing. Equally great. And to top it off, trivia night!! That was fun. Talking about the answers to the many questions, the host even said that he's no PhD and "I've got a neck tattoo and I'm wearing shorts so temper your expectations". Five rounds of 6-8 questions each on various generally pop culture topics. First and second place each got small prizes after each round. It was a lot of fun. We're on vacation but if we're in the area again we'll definitely stop by again. The fondue and trivia are must-dos!!

Broccoli in cheese

This is an eclectic bar with great flat breads, cheese fondue and chocolate fondue. The ambiance is very unique. The servers are very helpful and in spite it being very busy were very attentive.

Wow! What a gem here in Vero Beach! I came here with sole friends and this place was packed. There was gentleman performing some latest tunes, and the vibes were great. With a recommendation from friends I decided to have the samosas as an appetizer. They came in hot but they were amazing. Sad I had to share with my group but I felt they be missing out on such experience. I then I had the curry chicken pot pie. This dish came in hotter, both temperature wise and spicy. I almost burned my tongue but I took my time and enjoyed every bite. Lastly, I didn't order fondue but my friends did and I was able to try it! Another item that just didn't miss! I think this is one of the restaurant's favorites. 10/10 will come back!

This place has been on my list for years and it did not disappoint! Wonderful bohemian atmosphere, delicious food and great staff :) We had a cheese fondue with add on chicken and beef followed by a chocolate fondue. Plenty for the three of us. We also enjoyed a lovely selection of craft ciders. Kudos to owners and management, this place is a gem.

Ambiance. :)

The ambiance is awesome. Super cool boho artists vibe. I loved that! The wait staff are nice enough, may like to think they are cooler than they really are. :-P Bush league fondue. Just semi-hot cheese sauce served with chopped vegetables, some bread, and "roasted" vegetables which were sad looking. Beer selection is very good. Same with the wine. Bottom line take: drink don't eat. You can trust me, I was in the business. ;D

Are any of the fondues vegan? Maybe the dessert ones?

Charming and sexy .. great music most nights…read more Fabulous servers and delicious food Especially the bread pudding .. and I made it for my living! It's better than the best! Dinner there tonight too!

I am so bummed to leave this review, I have wanted to try this place for quite some time. The food…read morewas awful. I ordered an app, soup, main, and dessert to give it a try before date night. So disappointing. I figured if the lounge was at the same standard of the espresso bar and bakery it will be absolutely amazing!!!! Not at all. App BRAISED BEEF & CARAMELIZED ONION CROSTINI Velvety braised beef meets sweet onions, whispered by garlic crostinis Review: Very very OVER cooked SOLID crostinis and beef wasn't braised it was soaked in bbq sauce no onion or micro-greens. Not good. FLAVOR was was salty! Like a salt lick. SHE CRAB SOUP (From the site: SHE CRAB SOUP A rich, creamy soup made with lump crabmeat, a savory seafood broth, and a touch of warming spices, finished with a splash of sherry and served with a fresh-baked dinner roll.) REVIEW: It was a cup of seafood cream soup made of cream over salted and no lump crabmeat, no fresh bread either. No depth couldn't taste the sherry. I think the base was rushed and not layered at all. LUXE SEAFOOD POT PIE Buttery puff pastry filled with a rich medley of shrimp, lobster, scallops, and lump crab, complemented by a silky, well-seasoned seafood sauce with aromatic vegetables. REVIEW: This was awful! It was a bunch of frozen veggie blend cream of celery soup and seafood with a pastry popped on the top. No love into the meal at all. It had a great deal of seafood but all the other ingredients were really just thrown in. (Taste like when you rush to put food on the table because you have too much to do and have to just feed the fam). Last PINA COLADA BREAD PUDDING. Toasted Coconut | Spice Rum Glaze |In House Made Coconut & Pineapple Ice Cream Over cooked and slightly burnt. To be honest I threw it out. Actually I ended up throwing most of it out. I tried to take some bites but it was just plain BAD. I could understand a bad dish or an off night but 4 out of 4. Worst part was I called and said I love your bakery and was so bummed out and it was a complete brush off. Shame...guess no date night there or a romantic night home. Sweet desires is NOTHING TO BE DESIRED. Save yourself the time, money, and trouble. Below are pictures from their site vrs what was received.
