We ate at all three resort restaurants, Shutters, Sonya's and The Green cabin Room at Vero Beach, and found the Green Cabin Room to be the best for dinner because of atmosphere. The Green Cabin Room gets its food from the lesser expensive Shutters restaurant downstairs. We felt that Shutters was the better deal of the two downstairs, because, allthough the selections were not identical, the food preperation was actually no better at Sonya's. Its presentation is up-scale, but I think an objective reviewer would not rate the value very high. I had steak, my son had chicken, and my wife had seafood. Off-site we ate at "Captain Hirams" and "Squidlips". Both were a better value than the Vero restaurants, and Suidlips has this peer that you can go onto during your meal and feed these very large toddler catfish. (I am assuming they were toddlers because they gobbled down the fries and refused to eat the green beans) Anyway, If your stay is long enough (you said it was short) I would try at least one of the off-site restaurants recommended by the check-in folks. We did the smors around the campfire deal and miniature golf together, my wife and son did craft making and archery, and I messed around in the exercise room. We were there long enough to do a lot of beach walking around the area. We did the seaturtle watch and we had a dolphin pop up about 30 feet from us while we were wading in the water one day. For a really short stay, I would try all three restaurants at the resort just to say I had been there and done that. For a can't miss natuaral deal I would probably agree with the sunrise, for a can't miss on-site Disney event, go with the smors camp fire. The cast members leading our group were very fun. We stayed 7 nights last time and my wife wants to stay at least 10 next time.
