If you plan to visit a well-known seafood restaurant located right on the beach in a tourist area, what do you expect?

If you expect decent food at slightly higher prices, you'll enjoy the Ocean Grill just fine. It's not the best seafood but it's not bad either. The location is great with almost every table able to view the ocean. Service is good.

We ate there twice. The fried seafood platter was average. The softshell crab was a special offering and was good. The second time, we both had the shrimp cocktail and lettuce wedge salad and no entree. We got his idea from talking with a regular patron while sitting at the bar. The shrimp cocktail included only four shrimp but they were huge. The combination was good and left room for dessert. I saw others having a salad and "peel-n-eat" shrimp with no entree. So, feel free to order just what you want.

Set your expectations as I described in the first paragraphs and you'll enjoy it. For fine dining, go somewhere else.

I have been to the Ocean Grille every time I get the opportunity to get to Vero Beach, usually three or four times per year and I love it!

The service is excellent, the food is good and plentiful and the view is superb. You might also want to check out the fine array of "Highway Man " paintings that are all the rage these days.

This is the type of establishment where you will still find gentlemen in suits and ties for dinner and women well dressed, although not everyone ascribes to this standard. I would describe it as business casual.

This is not nouvelle cuisine and if you are expecting this you will be disappointed. This is the type of place that years ago would would have been a very special night out for mom and dad or for a special family event. This is exactly the reason that I love it so!

You will find many families today that still love this type of place. I know that I do!

When we visit Vero Beach, we always dine at the Ocean Grill...the food is excellent, the service prompt and courteous. The view is wonderful of the ocean from most of the seating. Highly recommend, especially for the seafood.

We stayed at the Driftwood in October. First night ate at Waldo's but wanted something special for a 50th birthday celebratory meal. Found Ocean Grill by accident as we prowled the beach during the day. In daylight, from the beach, it looked like a run down railway carriage! However, at night, all lit up, it was gorgeous and we had a fantastic meal. Prices are very good if you are from the UK as the exchange rate was good.

As usual in USA we took large box of food home to have for lunch the following day!

We loved it so much, we went back again the following night, and I had lobster tails again!
