    I have come here for 48 years! Same standards today as 1978! Historical building on the beach with ocean views! Bar service and large parties too. Today service with Daphne! Parking ample set aside for Ocean Grille! Food excellent. Mahi and grouper sandwiches special, pecan rice and had Mediterranean seafood chowder

    Went here with a big group. Accommodated us perfectly. Took our reservation ahead of time and seated us very quickly when we arrived. The ambiance is nautical and classic. Dim lighting for a nice evening meal and an incredible view of the water. Great seafood selection with a beautiful presentation. Enjoyed the cocktails and appetizers, including anything from salad to crab and shrimp to clam chowder. Everything here is done well. 5 out of 5 recommend.

    We go to Ocean Grill every time we visit Vero Beach. This is a gorgeous restaurant RIGHT on the ocean. I love to order stone crab when it's in season! Year round, the menu has tons of great options - we particularly love the Jumbo Lump Crab Stuffed Mushroom Caps, Homemade Onion Rings, and Fresh Fish Dinner. The service is always excellent! This is a true Vero Beach gem.

    Ocean Grill on Weds at 6:00pm - it's pretty packed, we're waiting to be seated.

    We had a nice dinner at Ocean Grill like always. We only waited 10-15 mins. I had the surf & turf, rice and salad. The sirloin was excellent. Calamari appetizer. Lava cake for my Happy Birthday. My sister bought shirts for her grandkids at their gift store. The waitress was excellent, very caring and attentive. Nice night!

    Cheese cake

    Most important: The grapefruit martini was the best cocktail I have ever had in all of North America, South America and Europe. (Now encouraged to travel all over Africa and Asia just to see if it is best in the world.) Order the coconut macadamia cheese cake: Have angels danced on your tongue? They did on mine. The portobello sandwich is an excellent alternative to any burger. Perfectly cooked. Waitstaff: excellent. View: perfect.

    Halloween!! Will never be the same!! Perfection all around perfection! The spread for the butter Delish! The house dressing Delish!... Escargot DELISH!... The fish guess what Delish!!... Dessert Delish!... The cast of characters amazing!! All the staff dressed up for the guests to vote for. It truly is a night to remember. If you can't make it Halloween, just make it! You won't be disappointed of this iconic local restaurant, and the view... delish too! ***if you have noise issues, request an table away from the main dinning area, and enjoy!! ***

    Old charming rustic looking interior. Great soups - try the A+ French Onion or clam chowder. Turkey on rye very good but a little less turkey than normal. Onion rings - generous portion. A tad overdone but still good. Service is always excellent. Thanks Kief!Early arrival gets you a window table with a close-up ocean view!

    The atmosphere was a unique blend of iron, wood and glass elements. The culinary experience was tasty; the filet was excellent, and the blue cheese butter served with the dinner rolls was a a must try.

    Prime Rib
    Ryan G.

    This is the single-handed best prime rib I've ever had in my life. Knife was optional, and the seasoning was out of this world. I don't know how anybody would order anything else to be honest -- unless of course they ran out! Which according to our server, was a normal occurrence because it is so popular. Get there early (we were there about 5-5:30) and get yourself one! Our wait staff was fantastic. Parking can be a bit of a bear though! Definitely recommend and will be back.

    Apologies, we recently updated our website so the link no longer worked. I updated the link today. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

    Is "Ocean Grill" @ 1050 Sexton Plaza? Yelp gives a different address than this one - from the restaurant on their website. Thanks.

    That is actually right: two correct but different addresses. Also please note they don't take reservations for less than 5 people.

Strangely we tried to go to a nearby restaurant that closed at 2 pm for lunch. The hostess there recommended Bobbie's and as they say a person in the trade recommending somewhere is a good sign. Apparently famous for French dip - I tried it and nothing special but ok and hit the spot. My wife had blackened Salmon which was large and she could not stop overeating it. They are also renown for fresh fish so not surprisingly the Salmon was first class. Separately there is a bar that was full but strangely they had no fraught beer available in the restaurant. Service attentive and would go back again if the opportunity presents between 2 and 5 and could not get into other place.

The lounge, located in a separate room, was standing room only. The average age of the crowd was in their mid-60s or 70s, which is likely more typical of Vero Beach than Bobby's in general. We ordered a few things to try including a fried grouper sandwich, a cheeseburger and an order of ribs off the appetizer menu. The grouper was lacking in flavor, but was hot and fresh. The ribs were "fall off the bone" and actually decent. The burger was probably the best of the 3, it wasn't bad at all. Service was fast and she was pleasant. We didn't have to ask twice for anything. One thing I will note, the men's room was dirty, similar to a dive bar's bathroom. Maybe because the place is old and in need of an update but it made me wonder if other parts of the establishment were unclean.

Warmly greeted by a young lady and seated, we were delighted at the choices. A large party of 8 was finishing up their lunch. We ordered fresh fish and the sausage and peppers. As we sipped our bottled water and "window shopped" the TOGO cases... loud screaming came from the open-air kitchen. It was a HUGE turn off. A woman berated her employees with anger -this continued for our whole 41-minute wait (only 3 other tables were seated during this time). The poor waitress was RUNNING, literally, while being chastised. All the additional "staff", not sure if they are family or not, seemed to take this abuse. Very unprofessional. I was embarrassed for them. The food arrived hot and did not disappoint! Fabulous. She can cook but the experience was ruined by her yelling. It seemed to just make the staff stressed. Odd also was that they kept running into the TOGO coolers to grab pre-portioned and pre- wrapped foods and soup and bring them to the kitchen. Seems like a waste of time and plastic, as they just loaded items into the case. I have been in the restaurant business for 27 years, and this would seem to slow efficiency down. We felt the price was good for the quality of food. We did not have beer or wine this time around nor did we have desserts, which seemed to be homemade. We will be back, hopefully it was a one-off for the atmosphere. I have enough stress.

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!

This Cuban influenced version is a bit different than the traditional Spanish version with which I have far more experience.

Their seafood paella is hands down the best I've ever had... overflowing with fresh, flavorful seafood and perfectly seasoned rice. The portion for two could easily feed four, but trust me, you won't want to share! I had breakfast there all three mornings of our stay and every meal was delicious. From the make-your-own omelette and fluffy pancakes to the avocado toast topped with perfectly poached eggs. The fruit was always fresh, and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate my husband's request for strawberries and watermelon. For those who are gluten-free, The Wave Kitchen & Bar is fantastic. They offer gluten-free toast, breakfast potatoes, black bean hummus, guac and salsa, and for dessert, a divine flourless chocolate cake served with your choice of vanilla or espresso ice cream. It's absolutely superb! If in the area, it's a must try. You will not be disappointed!
