We have been returning to Chez Frenchie's each winter for 7 years and always love the food, service and ambience. Last night was no exception with several new choices including the Lobster bisque which was the best I have ever tasted. (I have had lobster bisque from New England to San Francisco, and nothing compares) Harisson was our server and he was amazing, no detail was missed and he suggested the Pompano which was in season and freshly caught. Outstanding, with a lobster beurre blanc sauce I believe. The Beef bourguignon would have made Anthony Bourdain proud. Great job Chef and thank you Harisson for your wonderful service. Bringing out of town friends back in a few weeks.

Very welcoming staff, but a bit over-eager. Patrons can’t order literally 2 minutes after seeing the menu. Server did not honor request to have salad before appetizers. Pouilly-Fuissé was not chilled. Overpriced Dover Sole was 1/8” thin and overcooked, risotto bland as paper. Chef came out to try to defend abysmal dish like we were clueless, and not 60 y.o, world-traveled diners who know how to cook. Very disappointing. I recommend they do better with your experience. Also, would have preferred still bottled water, yet our conversation was interrupted with unnecessary ice water refills so frequently, and we could tell this dining experience was not going to be as it should. FYI, 1 bad dish awkwardly affects the whole table.

Our Waitor was AMAZING professional charming charismatic Great. Steak was too fatty and not a 10. Its very pricey for the letdown. My aunt had a great time and thats all in the end.

One of the best meals we’ve had! Starting with the delicious homemade bread. The French onion soup was delicious! We ordered filet mignon with the bearnaise sauce and it was fantastic! The potatoes were a delight and mixed vegetables were perfect (not over cooked). Our waiter Gary was attentive and very accommodating!l

Crepe de fruit de mer was cooked perfectly. Wild Mushroom salad with endive is a real treat.
Charles Murray
Wonderful experience Very attentive server names Harrison who ensured that we thoroughly enjoyed our dining evening. The drinks were tasty and refreshing. The meals that were brought to our table were exquisite. We left fully satin after the chef/owner came to our table and chatted a bit.
We’ll always will visit when in Vero Beach

Overall, the service was excellent.Shannon was a great waiter. I did notice some little things like spots on silverware, glasses with residue on the rims , wasn't what I expected for a place like that. They do have a great menu but I found the food average at best , especially for the prices. Go if you've never gone before, then you can judge if you'll go back.

Really love the daily specials here. Very fresh and unique. Not items that you can get at many restaurants. I recommend for a great experience

The food was okay, but the overall experience was very disappointing. We were not informed ahead of time that Christmas Day would have a limited menu, and they were already out of prime rib by 6 PM. One of the servers appeared highly intoxicated, was extremely loud, used constant profanity, and repeatedly messed up her tables’ orders. Although she wasn’t our server, her behavior ruined the atmosphere and became the main focus of the night. It was honestly comical at times, but clearly upsetting for her tables, and the hostess was yelling at her throughout the evening. There was no apology from anyone. The only positive part of the night was being with my family. We will not be back.
The food was average. I've never had French based recipes that were that sweet. It was a little off-putting. It was crazy being Christmas, so I co platelet understand having minimal staffing (and at least one brought in who doesn't even work there anymore but was helping). But we waited and waited for various parts of our meal, even a simple refill on water that never happened.

The food was excellent. The service very slow and didn't bring us items that we asked for. Our biggest complaint was the poorly stocked wine. We chose one bottle and then she would come back and tell us they were out of it. This went on a few times. They told us because they were busy on Christmas Eve. Didn't plan on people drinking wine on Christmas! Our table was right by the entrance, so it wasn't quiet at all. The bugs were all over our selves and table. Not good.

Warm veal with a sauce that tasted out of a can. A lukewarm French onion soup. And a crème brûlée that was not crème but raw egg floating around in a dish. I would never Recommend this restaurant. McDonald’s is better. They need someone that knows how to cook. The only bonus with the service was good for lousy food

We were a party of 4 and had 3 different main courses. There were 2 Pompano, 1 Flank Steak and one Seafood Royal. The servings were generous and the food was delicious! In addition we had 2 appetizers, a Caesar Salad and one dessert. It was all absolutely outstanding. We will definitely go back!

I think this is one of the absolute BEST restaurants in Vero. We ordered a table full of different dishes and everything was incredible. This place is a jewel that needs to be identified in this town. The menu has delicious options that would suit anyone and the staff, along with Chef Frenchie, are welcoming, knowledgeable and passionate about what they have to offer. Frenchies has become my go to, top of the list restaurant. By the way, I can call in orders and stop by to pick meals if I want a great meal at home!!!
