The early bird menu is a steal, the prices range from $9.99-15.99. That includes icludes salad, soup, entree, & the Patio parfait. Appetizers run the normal range of around $5.

You are so right especially since we will be there in a few weeks. My DW and I can also recommend Squid Lips. It's just north of Captain Hiram's on Rte 1. We have come to like the seafood there even more than Hiram's.

You have to try the corn flake coated fried grouper sticks. They are delicious!! It does not look like much from the front, but it's nice inside and has tables with a great view of the intercoastal waterway.

Thanks for "bumping".

On the corner of Route #60 and 58th Street near the Indian River Mall (in a plaza on the right) is the Italian Grill. Small but delicious.

Kathie, what a great write up of things to do and see -- and of course I admire your smarts in buying a home in Vero. I just love that area!

Wanted to highlight your mention of the Italian Grill. I'd heard of it but hadn't made an effort to seek it out. Ended up there in March after heading out to the outlets -- a great find! Being from the NY/Boston area I've always found Florida Italian (especially at WDW) to be nothing like "home". The Italian Grill is to me 'real Italian". Very informal and very tasty!

We even joked about how we were sure Tommy Lasorda must have eaten there when he was in town -- maybe it wasn't a joke!

We were at the right place at the right time and found a wonderful place before the real estate prices went ceazy. We closed in July 2004 and were hit by 2 big hurricanes in September and October. We ended up with a lot of damage. We were finally able to get the rest of the repairs done this past month. Finally after 2 years. We kept saying we were a work in progress.

We love it. Glad you enjoyed it also. The owner has several restaurants in the area including Vincent's in Miracle Mile Plaza that I mentioned. Another one is the Scampi Grill. We haven't been to that restaurant yet.

BTW......I love those outlets. Especially Bealls. I always do well.

Another nice place to eat is the restaurant at the airport. CJ Cannon's. Casual menu, burger, grilled chicken, a few entrees, nothing fancy, good for kids, food was good.

We went to the Patio restuarant for dinner in March. We were disappointed. We had terrible service and the food was marginal. To the waiter we seemed to be more of a bother. We saw other servers that were more attentive to their parties so our experience was due to the attitude of the waiter. I have allergy issues and boy did we inconvienence him!!! He forgot our soups and brought out our salads right before our meal. Just one thing after another. And to top it off he was rude like his mistakes were our fault!!

The kind of waiter who should in in the kitchen stuffing raviolis' rather than dealing with the public.

We'll give it another try and we will be sure not to get that waiter. DH and I are in the restaurant business and we tend to be a little more tolerant with bad service. Maybe it will be better the next time.
