"Reaching Ocean Grill by boat was a highlight of Puerto Vallarta for me—the open‑air, reservations‑only lunch spot is built into a rocky cove and serves memorable grilled lobster." - CNT Editors

Had a fantastic lunch at Ocean Grill in Vero Beach! The atmosphere was relaxing with beautiful ocean views, and the food was fresh and full of flavor. A special shout-out to our waitress, Nicole, who provided outstanding service from start to finish. She was attentive, welcoming, and made excellent recommendations. Nicole’s professionalism and warm personality truly elevated our dining experience. Highly recommend stopping by—and ask for Nicole if you can!

My wife and I had an early dinner here on Monday, August 18 2025 while visiting the Vero Beach area. We'd eaten here twice before on previous trips to the area, but both times it was during "the season" and very crowded. This time, it was perfect and very quiet on a hot summer Monday night with almost no one in the bar or restaurant when we arrive shortly after it opened. We sat at a nice two person table that had a nice view of the Atlantic Ocean. The inside ambience here is somewhat old and rustic, but it's clean and super cozy feeling. I ordered the "Jake's Steak" (a 9 oz butterfly filet mignon) and my wife had a petite filet mignon. Both were perfectly cooked to our preferred temperatures. For desert, we shared their house creme brulee and it was outstanding. There is a reason this place has been a local favorite for over 50 years here on Vero Beach. It's an icon and a restaurant par excellence.

Went a few days ago (Tuesday for lunch). The place is beautifully decorated. The service is good; the waitress was super nice. We had a table near the windows; the place is in front of the beach, amazing views. The food was excellent; we had the fried shrimp, a salad, and the red snapper that was amazing! Also, they don't give you bread but muffins that I couldn't resist. Love the place; totally recommend.

Ocean Grill is a must-go-to place when you are in Vero Beach. I highly recommend. Jill, our waitress, was outstanding. She went above and beyond to take care of us. The atmosphere is honestly outstanding. Every inch of the restaurant is amazing. I am still in disbelief of all the decorations. Each room in this place was decorated for Halloween. And the food - there are no words to describe it. It's hard to go to a restaurant nowadays with a group of friends and have every single person at the table love the food they ordered, and we all ordered something different. Again, a must-go-to place! Oh, wait, but there's more - a gift shop that will blow your socks off. If you go on vacation, make sure you leave room in your suitcase.

Wonderful anniversary dinner of stuffed shrimp and pear martini. Husband had pesto primavera which was very good. Awesome Halloween decorations. Our waiter David provided excellent service! Love this iconic restaurant!

Crab cakes are really good and the perfect size. I didnt really care for the spinach dip however my salad was good. Service was great, atmosphere was cool but alot going on with the decor. The little guy at the front confused me a few times. Can't wait to visit again.

First visit - Halloween week. I "guess" if you're a "local" you know what that means?! Crazy!! Waited 30 mins to get a table... ok. We were greeted pretty quickly upon being sat - waitress Jess was friendly. Ordered drinks... waited... finally ordered dinner. I think Jess was sat 2 very large parties and doing her best - but a party of 3 is definitely a lower priority when you have larger parties. Ordered a burger (med / $20) and 2 scallop dinners ($44 each). Got a side Caesar with the scallops... YUCK - but Jess offered another side, very nice. When we were sat, Jess told us water was coming... and again... coming... and again. Crazy that water was so hard to get! Food was "ok". Scallops were tender and we were served plenty!! Sides included creamed spinach, garlic smashed potatoes, asparagus and broccoli - all the sides were served warm. Burger was cooked properly as well. It was an "ok" experience but not memorable.

I got very impressed with the decoration and the history of the place. Love everything. I highly recommend this place very much. Food was excellent, service, everything was good. I enjoyed especially the muffins, the crab and that Cheesecake. Fantastic topping with coconut and mango. Took an extra one home.

This is an updated review. I have been going to the Ocean Grill for many many years. I go with a group every Christmas to see the beautiful decorations. People should go at least once just for that! This year, I would say the food was absolutely outstanding. I had the stuffed shrimp, baked potato, and asparagus with hollandaise sauce. Everything was delicious. The food was very hot and very well seasoned. The crab made stuffing actually had quite a bit of crab meat in it, and the amount of food was plenty full. The dessert was a praline berry basket, filled with raspberry sorbet, berries, and vanilla ice cream. I'm usually not want to order dessert, but when Albert the waiter brought over the dessert tray, I had to try it. Speaking of the waiter... He was fabulous. He was attentive without being annoying. And he was very efficient. Kudos to Albert. He had to deal with 12 women with separate checks, and he did it effortlessly and with a smile! I recommend The Ocean Grill highly. It just keeps getting better.

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!! ***

I'm writing this review of the Ocean Grill with a heavy heart, as our last visit has passed. We were tasked with honoring a relative who lived a full life in Vero Beach, Florida, and passed away just before her 96th birthday. It was our responsibility to scatter her ashes in the ocean, so she could join her husband, and we also had to close her villa. The Ocean Grill was a favorite spot, offering stunning ocean views and delicious food from a wonderful menu. The cocktails are fantastic. Since it was our last visit, both servers, Agape and Brittany, were amazing. Our final meal included escargot, pompano, creamed spinach, yams, grouper, key lime pie, and espresso. From that point on, there's nothing calling us back to Vero, but the Ocean Grill will always be in our memories as a fantastic restaurant. Thank you for the years of excellent service.

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!

Overall, I had an excellent experience at the Ocean Grill in Vero Beach. The location is hard to beat, with beautiful views of the ocean and beach just steps away. The restaurant sits right on the water and has a timeless, old school charm. The space has wood everywhere, a nautical decor, and a classic coastal vibe that feels relaxed. You can tell this place has been around for years and knows exactly what it is doing. We started our evening with a drink at the bar, which had a nice energy. The bartender was friendly, efficient, and clearly experienced. It was a great way to start the evening. The cosmo and IPA we had hit the spot. Once we were seated, the service continued to impress. The waitstaff at our table was equally attentive and made sure we were well taken care of without hovering or rushing us. To start, we ordered the shrimp cocktail, which was fresh and served chilled with just the right amount of kick in the sauce. For the main course, I had the blackened grouper, which was flavorful, tender, and cooked just right. My companion chose the scallops, and those were also excellent and perfectly seared. We ended the meal with a blueberry cobbler for dessert, which was warm, rich, and generous in portion. It was a super finish to a memorable dinner. Ocean Grill delivered across the board with atmosphere, food, service, and setting. It felt like the kind of place locals trust and visitors are glad they found. I would absolutely return, whether for a special night out or just a really good seafood meal. This was one of the nicer dining experiences I have had recently, and certainly one of the better seafood meals I have enjoyed in a while.

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.

My husband and I dined here about 3 weeks ago. The restaurant seems like the formal dining option in the area, though it seems more beach formal and the decor is very random and eclectic without a consistent theme. The restaurant is huge and the views and noise level of the table levels vary. We sat at table 22 which was more private and much more quiet, which I loved. They serve you bread at the start, which included their tasty blue cheese spread. My husband got the pasta primavera, which he loved. I got the French onion soup, which was below average and left much to be desired. Service was attentive. We finished with a chocolate cake, which was tasty but did taste very much like a boxed cake. Overall, we enjoyed our meal.

Long overdue review. I was reminded from a photo from Summer of 2018, of the great time we had here. The restaurant has beautiful views, well done delicious seafood classics and superb service. Not to mention a good cocktail list. From the photos/menu, everything still looks the same as I remembered. It's difficult to find these types of restaurants any longer which also reminds me of the waterfront restaurants in NY and Long Island from my youth.

We met relatives there for a birthday dinner. It was halfway between Orlando and Port St Lucie. It is right on the water in Vero Beach. Our server came immediately to get the drink order. They have a nice menu. I ordered the blackened chicken Oscar with crab and bearnaise sauce over pasta. I had the house salad and creamed spinach. I had originally ordered mashed potatoes as a side but changed it to the salad. They brought the potatoes anyway. The salad was very good. The blackened chicken with the crab meat and bearnaise sauce was good. It was just warm. I didn't eat the pasta. It was also just warm. I had the potatoes which were very good. The creamed spinach needed seasoning. One person ordered stuffed shrimp which was very good. He had the same complaint about the creamed spinach. The other had a filet. It was cooked perfectly. The side of fries were cold and the amount was small. The other person went for the appetizer of shrimp cocktail, which were big and very good. She ordered a beet salad which was disappointing. Hardly any beets and the dressing wasn't very good. She only ate half. She also had steamed spinach and mushrooms. Which she liked. We were celebrating a birthday so we split a piece of Baileys chocolate chip cheese cake, which was very good. Everyone' enjoyed everything except the beet salad. The place had a rustic atmosphere. They have a gift shop in the front which was well stocked for all age preferences. The server was very good. He kept the glasses full. Our table was near a window with a full view of the water.

My husband and I celebrated our 45th anniversary at Ocean Grill. We truly enjoyed the ambiance and ocean view! We got there early and enjoyed drinks at the bar and snagged the best view of the ocean for dinner. The food was delicious!

The food, service and ambience are all good and the menu selections are plentiful. I had lunch there and the food was great but keep in mind, they stop serving lunch at 2pm so get there before. The service is attentive and they have all kinds of sandwiches right thru to entrees and some killer desserts. They also serve drinks for those that are inclined. For Vero Beach the prices are reasonable, simply put, if you want cheap eats, Vero is isn't your kind of place unless you eat at Mulligan's but I wouldn't let my dog eat there.

This is my favorite restaurant in Vero Beach. It has the absolutely best setting right on the ocean, what a spectacular view, wonderful service and food fitting of such fine surroundings. We had a big group this evening, celebrating a family birthday, and it seemed like everyone other than two of us, selected a completely different entree, allowing for each of us to enjoy a wide sampling of shared food. I started with the Caesar salad, and it came loaded with anchovies, just how I like it. For my main course, I had the seafood pasta, and it was loaded with fresh spinach, fresh clams, scallops, shrimp and crab. A lovely white sauce, complemented with more than a hint of garlic of course. For any entree you get two sides, and I went with their signature spinach soufflé and potatoes. Our service was tremendous, as you are accustomed to receiving at the Ocean Grill. If you've never been, you should give it a try, though be aware reservations are not accepted, except for large groups.

Not impressed with Ocean Grill any longer. Husband and I Ordered Nova Scotia Scallops which were supposed to be broiled. They were NOT. Too much lemon in the sauce. Daughter was happy with her fish dinner. Granddaughter said hamburger rolls hard and inedible. The ambiance was delightfully decorated in Christmas spirit. No more Christmas dinners during holidays at the Grill for us. Lunch, however, has never disappointed. Service was excellent.

It's yummy for lunch; finally went for dinner. It did not disappoint! Service was great; tequila cosmos were perfect. I split with another, we shared prime rib and two lobster tails. Prime rib was soo delicious, tender and tasty; lobsters were nicely cooked really small for the price tho. I had the stuffed Potato which was delish. Onion rings are perfect, great size, crisp and yum!! The place is Florida beach and really comfy casual nice. Great place!!

We came to Ocean Grill in October so they had the whole place decorated for Halloween. We enjoyed a few cocktails at the bar before our table was ready, the whiskey sour that we had were good and the view was lovely of the beach. We ordered the steak which was cooked to perfection with mashed potatoes and a side asparagus. The service was decent, the place was very busy so it did take a while to get our food and drinks. Would definitely like to come again in the off-season and hopefully get seating by the windows so we can get a nice ocean view.

We went to the bar area early on a Sunday (4pm) before the restating side opened (4:30) It was almost completely full. There is limited seating in and at the bar. You can order drinks and preorder bar food only. The food will be prepared startng at 4:30. The view of the ocean is pretty at the bar. The Hamburger is $20 and is basic and small for the price. Fries were slightly under cooked and portion was also a bit small, but still warm. We also go the fish dip which was served with a few steamed veggies and very thick, too crunchy toast. The fish dip taste fine, but for $19, again the poison was small (maybe 1/2 cup.) Our server was very nice and attentive.

I just spent over $400 for drinks and dinner .. all of the food co es out semi-warm... the stuffed potatoe was warm at best. I got a steak and it was under cooked and cold... they put it back on the grill and still undercooked and warm at best. My wife's red snapper came out warm too. Why can't the food come out hot?? I would stay away from restaurant side. Bar isvv bc great though.

We weren't blown away by the food. But the experience was nice, service was great, and quick. I would recommend the specials, would not recommend the steak. The smashed potatoes were under-seasoned to my taste. Other members of my party were underwhelmed by the baked potatoes. The deserts were delicious, but also slightly underwhelming. The lava cake was not very tender or lava-ish. The crème brûlée was nice, but the crème did not stay very chilled and it was not garnished, where the desert menu tray had a raspberry garnish (the little things). We did have a seaside view which was nice.

This place is awesome. Was recommended by a waitress at another restaurant. We asked for local fish and before we ended the sentence she said "Ocean Grill. Just go there." It's right on the water. Easy to get to. And quite large inside, deceivingly so. The waitstaff is awesome. Casey, our waitress, was wonderful, had a wealth of knowledge, and was clearly very happy with her job. I got one of that day's specials, the Pompano with Apricot Sauce. It was fantastic. My wife got the fried shrimp and she said it too was wonderful. And along with my virgin Pina Colada, dinner was great. Highly recommend the Ocean Grill if you're in town. And don't be scared by the reservation info on their website. In late September (admittedly off-season) we got right in.

Ocean Grill is an old-school seaside restaurant rich in history and a true gem in Vero Beach. It's important to note that they don't take reservations for groups of six or less, but they do start taking names an hour before opening. This is the restaurant to visit in the Vero Beach area, so plan ahead and make it a must on your stay. As soon as you sit down, you're greeted with crackers and their house-made blue cheese dip. If you're a blue cheese lover, you're in for a treat--this dip is pungent, creamy, and perfect for spreading on your crackers. A tossed salad is a must as a side, in my opinion, because you've got to try their house specialty dressings. The homemade dill dressing is slightly sweet, dilly, and perfectly creamy, while the imported Roquefort is so good, I found myself layering a piece of bread with the blue cheese dip and then dipping it in the Roquefort. It was heaven on a plate. For my entrée, I went with the Florida Stuffed Lobster special, which was stuffed with crabmeat. It wasn't as big as it sounded, but that was fine by me--the flavors were wonderful, with the lobster cooked to perfection and served with drawn butter. As a side, I chose the stuffed potato, which is like a twice-baked potato but mixed with pepperoncinis for a little depth of flavor and spice. Amy had the crab cake dinner, which featured two lump--and I mean LUMP--crab cakes served with a mango salsa. The combination of the crabmeat with the mango and cilantro was something we never expected but absolutely loved. It paired perfectly with a side of creamed spinach. The show really begins with dessert, when they bring out a tray to present all the options. We chose the pecan pie and tiramisu, but honestly, everything looked amazing. Some of the desserts we didn't order but drooled over included a Baileys chocolate chip cheesecake, macadamia cheesecake, triple chocolate cheesecake, praline bowl with ice cream and berries, chocolate lava cake, crème brûlée, blueberry cobbler, and more. The professionalism of the staff here is next level. Your water glass is never less than half full, and they even clean crumbs off the table between dishes. The service is truly amazing, and I cannot recommend this place enough. If you're in Vero Beach, Ocean Grill is a must-visit.

We walked in the place was beautiful! The staff were super nice and we got our drinks and entrée very fast. Unfortunately that's where it stops being nice. We got the escargot and there was plastic in it. We got our main course and I got the mahi-mahi while my mom got lobster tail. The mahi-mahi tasted like nothing. It tasted like pulled pork without barbecue sauce. I couldn't even show it because it was so tough. I go to the bathroom and spit it out because I just couldn't swallow it. My mom got the side of twice baked potato, and it was baked in the microwave. Also, we were not told it was spicy. Gross food would not eat again. But the raspberry tea was amazing

The initial wait for a waiter to come to the table was longer than it should have been as well as waiting for our first drinks. However, it all improved in a timely fashion and the rest of our experience was very good. The food is consistently good and it all turned out for an enjoyable dinner. We have been here several times and will continue to go back.

It has an older classic charm that doesn't impact the quality of food or the service. My husband and friend joined me for a fish lunch. We started our meal with a key lime pie. Shared of course and very delicious. Then lunch, we all had a grilled grouper sandwich with fries. Really good coffee and beer. Daphne was our server. Very friendly, warm and efficient. Food was delicious.

Went for the first time to the Ocean Grill. We sat at the bar with a beautiful view of the ocean. Jeff was our bartender and did an excellent job of taking care of us! Food was delicious - great crab cake burger and peel and eat shrimp. The only disappointment was the New England clam chowder. Kinda thin and not much in it. Love love loved the Halloween decorations! So much fun. We will definitely be back to see the Christmas ones! Can't wait!!

This place was amazing. We stumbled upon it and it was a real winner. Our server was Keith and he was the absolute nicest and most professional (one of the other tables was screaming at him for literally no reason and he didn't react negatively at all). The view of the ocean was stunning. The atmosphere was lovely. The music was the right level and the lighting inside was so much fun and enjoyable. The food was delicious. My favorite was the deviled crab. I have never had something as good as this in my life. Food came out quickly and was hot and fresh. One of the best restaurants you can eat at. Absolute 5/5 restaurant. Excellent service. Thank you so much Keith for providing us with such a wonderful experience.

Tourists love this place! Right on the waterfront, super cute, with a Vero Beach vibe. Service was on point. A little pricey if your wallet is thin. The ambiance is dark and satisfying. We sat at the bar, enjoying the view plus all the little mementos scattered about. A lovely stop on our tour of Vero Beach where we just bought a home. I'd go back. :) Thanks Ocean Grill! You can trust me, I was in the business. ;D

What a superb meal! He had the manhattan style clam chowder, which was rich in flavor and chocked full of seafood. I selected the fresh pompano in apricot butter and he the Floundet prepared Oscar style. Both were amazing. Save room for dessert as their selections are numerous and all so tempting. The best part of the experience was our server Julia. She is what made the meal so memorable and pleasant. She took exceptional care of us.

To my surprise, this meal was spectacular! More often than not, I'm not impressed by the quality of food at restaurants located on the beach. I typically find the food is overpriced and it's merely the atmosphere that warrants the up charge. This meal differed. The food and service were both fantastic. Our server was extremely attentive and did a great job taking care of our needs and making meal recommendations. She was both friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. We were a party of 4 and all of us had different hankerings. One was craving chicken fingers, another desired a burger, one wanted fish and I hadn't a clue but settled on the pasta primavera with grilled chicken. The entrees are served with two sides; therefore, I opted for a house salad and pecan mushroom wild rice at the recommendation of our server. This worked in my favor because I paired some of the chicken from my pasta with the side of rice for lunch the following day. One of us who craved the burger added a beet salad to her meal. The one who desired chicken fingers was able to order a kids meal so she was in her glory with fingers and fries. Finally, the remaining one in our party ordered the grouper and paired with a scrumptious looking cheesy potato and a veggie. We were served fresh bread, crackers, and a blue cheese butter at the beginning of our meal. I was hesitant to try it but it proved to be quite tasty! It paired really well with the flatbread crackers. Our meals were very filling so we didn't partake in the extravagant dessert collection and we requested not to see the tray. We saw the tray make its way to other tables and the desserts appeared to be epic! I'll definitely attempt to save room the next time I dine here. Finally, there is an attached gift shop with lots of great merch and a gorgeous beach to walk off some of those calories.

Our server was really patient and kind. She took her time and explained the specials and any questions including what appetizer would fit well with our entre in mind. The ambiance was different than most other restaurants around Vero beach and it explains the history in the menu. Also the key lime pie is worth a try.

Always a go to! Great atmosphere on the water. Love the decor especially the grand antique fireplace still used. Amazing during holidays. Halloween is a must go. They go all out. You can always find a fresh fish. Pompano in season is excellent. Wait staff have all been great. Guests visiting love it. I have been there hundreds of times, always seeing a new antique I missed. Look up at the gorgeous antique chandeliers, say hi to the knight at the bathroom and make sure to cash your check at the teller spot. The store is reasonable and some awesome Vero clothes. Great place to check out! They even accommodated friends allergic to seafood and gluten free! They took great care, even wore gloves to not cross contaminate! I love dinner 5 stars. Lunch is too limited a menu and would not go back for.

We really lucked out when we decided to just park and find somewhere for lunch! The Ocean Grill sits right next to the ocean and the window views are spectacular. I ordered the scallops and they were so tender and the mustard sauce was perfect: subtle and not overpowering. The Pecan Rice Pilaf was a perfect accompaniment. Our server was attentive and refilled our sodas frequently. Check their website for information on reservations and party size requirements. You don't want to be disappointed and not be able to get in or have a long wait. The inside waiting area is small and can get crowded. Waiting outside would be an option depending on the weather. There is a small gift shop area, where they had some cool items. The website also has information on the restaurant's history and its pretty cool! We will definitely return when back in the Vero Beach area!

Never disappoints! Friendly hello when you arrive, expertly prepared cuisine, servers that make you as if you are dinning in their home. Of course the view is a given. My thank you to all at this lovely restaurant.

On the beach, beautiful view, has its own parking area but it got packed very quickly. They open at 11:30 and we got there around noon and we got the last parking spot. They don't take reservations unless you had more than 6 people. So when we arrived the wait was 30-40 min. There is a little shop inside you can walk around, we got called around 30 min or so. Decorated very festive inside. Everyone was very friendly. Got the onion rings to start, very good! I got the crab cake sandwich with fries. Crab cake itself was very good, the French fries was soggy and not cooked long enough. Everyone enjoyed the food! Price was average.

The location was great, our table was along the oceanfront windows. Our service was impeccable and the food was outstanding, except the shrimp in the pesto primavera was quite overcooked. We enjoyed our evening and will certainly visit again.

Stellar crusted snapper! The atmosphere is so enchanting as it displays maybe artifacts from Vero's founding days. The blueberry muffins are the best anywhere. The Pinot grigio painted really well with the snapper. The service was fine. I do love this restaurant

Got there at opening time and was told it was a 2 hour wait while looking at an empty restaurant. They only take reservations for large groups so I am not sure who was going to fill up those small tables. Went to another fine dining establishment 1/2 mile a way and had a fabulous dinner.

This place is by far the best restaurant I've eaten at since I moved here. It sits right on the beach with windows that face it so you can see the waves crashing in and the moon over the sea at night. The atmosphere hits you when you walk through the door with the way they have it decorated it will take your breath away especially at Christmas time. Pick from booths, table and chairs, or you can eat at one of the two beautiful bar, it's all good. As for the food Omg every bite is so wonderly delicious for the the main entree to the dessert and, make sure you get one of many deserts. It pricey but, you get what you pay for right,? I highly recommend this place you won't be sorry except if you can't go back all the time.

Mediocre food way over priced. Rather cook at home.The waitress had and attitude like she was doing us a huge favor.
