“Maison Martinique Restaurant- Vero Beach-3.5-Stars "Too many people eat just to consume calories. Try dining for a change." -- J. Walters Located within the luxurious Caribbean Court Boutique Resort is where one will find Maison Martinique. This almost hidden gem offers al fresco dining as well as three dining rooms within, so grabbing a table should not be a problem. However, as it is situated within the aforementioned Resort, calling ahead for a reservation wouldn't be a bad idea. As I did not, I was thankful for the ample seating and was lead to a vacant table almost immediately. Perusing the menu, I must say that I was highly impressed with the offerings and could only hope they tasted as good as they read. Suddenly, an odd idea popped into my head. Why not order all the specials off the menu today instead of flinging darts and ordering what they land on? As soon as I had this thought, my server, Aubrey appeared table side and inquired as to my readiness to order. I let it be known that I was indeed ready and asked for a Glenlivet neat*(side o'rocks) to get the ball rolling and then the specials of the day. Aubrey told me I couldn't go wrong with that choice and to that end put in an order for Curry Lamb Soup, one Goat Cheese Bake and one Bombay Sapphire Martini to wash it all down. Aubrey soon returned with my Scotch and what a Scotch it was. Just look at that picture. That had to be a 3.5 oz pour or I'm not the Big Boy (love you, Aubrey)!! I was about halfway through the Single Malt Nectar of the Gods when Aubrey set my food before me. Take a minute and glance at the rest of the pictures. As one can see, the presentation was stunning. If the food was as good as it read, looked and smelled I was in for yet another gastronomical treat in the burgeoning haute cuisine scene of Vero Beach. Let the festivities begin! I was told by a chef in Vero Beach that the bread should set the standard for the rest of the meal as it is the first sampling from the kitchen the customer experiences. This bread, as one can clearly see, was indeed baked on site. However, I have a sneaky feeling (due to taste and consistency) that is was baked from pre-made, frozen dough. While it tasted fine, it didn't hit the table running, so to speak. So far, so meh. As I could smell the curry lightly wafting up from the soup bowl, I hungrily procured my spoon and dove in. With what I assumed were red lentils(?) and USDA prime chunks of lamb, this not only jumped over the bar set by the bread but obliterated it in the process. The curry was perfectly proportioned and in no way overwhelmed the lamb. The lamb was so tender it almost melted on the palate like so much lamb flavored butter. This dish alone is 5 stars all day, every day. Moving on to the Goat Cheese Bake, I couldn't help sneak a last smell of the soup before trading in my spoon for a fork. The Goat cheese is broiled first, then baked on a fresh crostini that was crispy and chewy. The delicious red sauce added deep rich flavor to the divinely lightly crusted goat cheese. I could eat this every night. The accompanying Lobster and Scallop baked rice was soft and flavorful, though I could swear that the seafood rested too long and slightly killed the dish. The asparagus, while cooked to veggie perfection, lacked enough seasoning. The Bombay Sapphire Martini sans blue cheese stuffed olives was still delightful and just as heavy as the Glenlivet. As I mentioned at the start, this is the first time I have ever spurned the menu to order all specials. As such, I have to give credit where credit is due and all in all this kitchen crew knows what they are doing and sling forth some excellent chow. However, with the bread being the bread that it was and the seafood over rested, I stand firmly behind my 3.5 Star rating. The Big Boy says, "For a strong drink and a Goat Cheese Bake you can eat all day, call up and reserve a table at Maison Martinique." #iamthebigboy #bigboydiningout”

“We had a fantastic time at The Tides celebrating my husband’s birthday! He loved his blackened mahi, which was perfectly cooked and served with mashed potatoes, green beans, and carrots. Krystina and I enjoyed the peppercorn filet topped with melted Gorgonzola and crispy shallots, paired with veggies. Our daughter, Maiya, also enjoyed her chicken tenders and fries. The baked oysters and ahi tuna nachos were the highlights of the appetizers. Our server, Robert, was attentive and friendly, making the night truly special. It was a memorable evening filled with great food and service!”

“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.”

“Went there on 12/11. Food was great. The TV speakers on the patio were so loud that you could not hear anyone speak. Half the screens hardly had the good games out side. 1 was frozen. You can see people adjusting there hearing aids not joking. Even my friend visiting was adjusting. Even other people were complaining. I Spoke to manager. He said to complain to district since he had no control of volume ?????? It was not a good experience. So, if you want a nice eating time on the water don't go there when football games are on. For outside eating. I wanted to go because of the game, won't do that again. Unless they can control the volume.”

“I don’t care what anyone says negative about this place. Sarah, Lindsey and Alexa are your bar tenders. They are the face of the company. They are so perfect in their jobs. The people who they take care of is our older population. I have witnessed them in action. The respect they give to people that are older is phenomenal. That in my opinion is critical for any company. i support these three women 100% in their values and their commitment to the company.”

“🧜♀️✨ Raving Recommendation: The Kilted Mermaid ✨🧜♀️ If you’re looking for a place that actually embodies community, inclusivity, good vibes, and zero tolerance for bigotry — get yourself to The Kilted Mermaid in Vero Beach. 🌈🍻 This isn’t just a bar. It’s a safe haven, a local treasure, and a technicolor rebellion against hate in heels and a kilt. Drag shows? Yes. Live music? Yes. Eclectic art? Yes. Raging moral panic? Not welcome. While certain folks (cough Jennifer Pippin cough) are busy pearl-clutching and falsely accusing Kilted Mermaid of corrupting the youth, the rest of us are having a blast supporting small business, celebrating queer joy, and drinking craft beer with glitter in our souls. 💃 The performances are electric. 🧀 The food? Next-level grilled cheese. 🎭 The crowd? Diverse, friendly, and fiercely supportive. The Kilted Mermaid is what Florida should be — weird, welcoming, and full of heart. So whether you’re there for drag brunch, live jazz, or just to stick it to the pearl-clutching hypocrisy machine — we fully recommend it, fruit and all. 🍓🫐🍊 #FloridaFruitLoopApproved #KiltedMermaidMagic #SupportLocalLoveLoud #SatireSassAndSunshine #DragIsNotTheDanger #GoodVibesOnlyVero”

The food was exactly what you want every time—hot, fresh, and done right. Pancakes were perfect, coffee never empty, and everything came out fast without feeling rushed.
Honestly, CIERRA is the reason I’ll keep cumming back. If you get her as your server, you’re in good hands. This is how it’s supposed to be done. 🔥”

We started by sharing a bowl of Sebastian Stew one of their all-time favorite most popular dishes. Then hubby had a bacon burger and I had the stacked delicious pork sandwich with bacon, coleslaw & much more. I tried the collaboration beer made by Dogfish (Grateful Dead pale ale) which was on tap. Hubby had bottled Coors light. Bartender very friendly and attentive and proud of his family restaurant- Rightly so!! Highly recommend…”

“People used to gather at coffee shops to talk, smoke cigs (gross) and hang out with friends if they didn’t drink… Now thats not really a thing. I’ve been in the kava community for 12 years or so in South Florida. I never thought I’d find another tribe especially in Vero. If you’re looking to have a coffee, kambucha, kava, or snack and just talk, play games, work… this is the place. Do you spend money? Of course, its a business! But the connections… and especially the owners have become like family. Come visit, you won’t regret it.”

“We ordered carry out last night and it was the best we've tasted in Vero. Our order consisted of Sweet & Sour Chicken, General Tso's and Crab Rangoon. Also ordered side salad with ginger dressing. Both entrees had light breading, high-quality chicken breast with light (not your typical) sweet and sour sauce. General Tso's sauce was freshly made to order and delicious. They actually asked how spicey I wanted it when we ordered. Crab Rangoon was made with light wonton wrap and you could actually taste crab. It wasn't crazy sweet like most you find locally. I loved it. Service was fast (10 min), staff were crazy nice and everyone was hustling! Inside only has a handful of small tables, so definitely a take-out for our family, but they do also have a few tables outside by the road. Not my cup of tea, so we'll just do carry out, but I'm fine with that! It's my family's new go-to for sure!”

“Weekend lunch spot, hole-in-the-wall place but not a dive. Chips and salsa immediately, spicy too, great for me but not for the delicate tastebuds. Super burrito is wet, zero flaws. Beans need another pinch of salt. Rice is tasty but typical, worth having. Chimichanga was crispy and delicious. This is everything you want in a small fondita.”

“Had the best little work-lunch escape at La Tabla on Royal Palm Pointe today and I can’t stop thinking about it. Such good vibes, and the food was next-level fresh. I had the ahi poke bowl (so good!) and this super refreshing avocado cucumber dill gazpacho that honestly surprised me — light, healthy, and full of flavor. What made it even better was that the owner, Santiago, took our order. He’s from Argentina and was just the kindest, most genuine person — the kind of hospitality that makes you want to come back before you’ve even left. You can really feel the love and care they pour into the place. If you’re ever in Vero and craving something fresh and healthy, definitely go check them out. 🌿 I’m already daydreaming about a possible La Tabla x surfboard collab someday… how rad would that be? 🏄♀️🎨”

“I don’t care what anyone says negative about this place. Sarah, Lindsey and Alexa are your bar tenders. They are the face of the company. They are so perfect in their jobs. The people who they take care of is our older population. I have witnessed them in action. The respect they give to people that are older is phenomenal. That in my opinion is critical for any company. i support these three women 100% in their values and their commitment to the company.”

“We love El Sid! It’s our go-to spot whenever we’re in Vero Beach. The food is always great, and our kids love it there. The service is excellent—especially Alex, the manager, who always has a smile on his face. Great vibe and music! I even once forgot my wallet there, and he went out of his way to forward it to my home in New York after we had already given up looking for it. A true lifesaver!”

“I hosted a Birthday Luncheon at the Green Marlin Restaurant recently, and I was totally impressed at how caring and accommodating all of the staff were. The restaurant was spotlessly clean, and spacious. Jenna, the hostess was wonderful!! And, we appreciated her offer of additional tables for our use, if needed ( and they certainly were). Our waitress, Cat, was very very friendly and attentive. She catered to us like we were royalty. Our food came out amazingly fast, and i must say, everyone raved about the food they were served. My Mahi was moist and fresh, the grouper was excellent, and the quesadilla's were mouthwatering. And, all the portions were more than satisfactory. We were a festive group and the staff seemed to genuinely enjoy our celebration. A Big Thank You To The Green Marlin For A Job Well Done.”

“We went there last night. As usual excellent food and service. Diane was our waitress and fantastic. Everyone, without exception loved their food. Tacos, chicken crema, carne asada, burritos all excellent. The house margherita was massive, and was a two for one deal at around $11 (just over $5 or so for each). As a previous poster noted, we too found the music to be too loud on our previous visits - thankfully the music has now been lowered to "nice atmosphere" level instead of annoying. We will be back.”

“Cuban owned by the famous Estefan's of Miami. Parking limited, so had to valet. Resort / Restaurant had a nice ambience and dinner was fine, grilled chicken and grilled salmon. Strange thing was our waiter had never heard of Yuca Frita and no Cuban Expresso available at the end of my meal 😠. I think they've lost a bit of Cuban Tradition, but it maybe what sells in Vero Beach 😎”

“I stopped by Giving Tree Coffee Company this morning and had such a great experience! I ordered a hot Cubano to start — rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced — and then took a dirty matcha with lavender syrup to go, which was absolutely incredible and something a little different from the usual. The atmosphere is what really stood out. It’s warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed with both indoor and outdoor seating. I met up with an old colleague and we ended up staying and catching up for nearly three hours — it’s definitely the kind of place you can settle into and enjoy. Excited to have a spot like this in Vero Beach. I’ll definitely be back!”

“Large menu, food cooked to order in the kitchen not at a hibachi grill that you sit around. The chicken hibachi dinner entree was delicious. The meal came with hot soup and a ginger salad. Large portions, very reasonable prices. Not much space inside if you want to eat at the restaurant. The front door was open which was a little distracting and invited the outside in.”

The baked oysters and ahi tuna nachos were the highlights of the appetizers. Our server, Robert, was attentive and friendly, making the night truly special. It was a memorable evening filled with great food and service!”
