“ Great Place - We thought we found a secret gem because it's sort of off the beaten path and not very big....BUT....the locals ALL know about it and keep it hopping! The outside seating area is so large we had no idea the whole courtyard would fill up with happy people! Lovely staff and good service -but a bit slow and leisurely ( which worked for us). We split everything and we have been here twice. So the two of us have tried 2 salads, one soup, two deserts and three mains o we the past few months and each dish is delicious.the shrimp n grits deserves special mention as does the blueberry bread pudding!!! Good place!!! ”
“ This is our new favorite restaurant in Vero Beach! It was so quaint and in an unexpected location. It's important to know that they don't have a bar. We went early, thinking we would have a drink at the bar before our dinner reservations. They were so kind and set up a table for us outside to have drinks before our reservations inside. I actually loved sitting outside because they had the trees all lit up and it was just lovely. Our waiter was fantastic! He let me taste a few wines before choosing which one I was going to have and was happy to do it . He also gave perfect pours! There were so many things on the menu I wanted to try and so many unique preparations. I was happy there was four of us so we could all share and Taste each other's food. Everything was delicious. I highly recommend the shrimp and grits. There were so many different flavors going on in that dish and it was so delicious and comforting. ( and I don't even like grits!) my husband had something similar. He ordered the special of the evening, which was mushroom risotto with garlic, shrimp, and spinach. His was good, but mine was better! My sister-in-law ordered the salmon that was flavored with a bacon, jam and red pepper sauce. This dish was very unique and the salmon was delicious. It was a huge portion. My brother-in-law ordered the fish of the day, which was Mahi . That is one fish that I don't love so I did not try his but he had a nice big portion and it came with steamed vegetables and rice. He said he enjoyed it very much. We started with the crab dip and it was delicious! My husband and I split the pizza salad with citrus and goat cheese and I wish I could eat that every day! That one's a must order. The other couple split the pear salad and loved that one as well. The food here is particularly special. I wanted to compliment. The chef and our waiter told me it was the sous chef cooking that evening. Whoever the sous chef was, he is truly gifted. This is definitely a foodie's restaurant! If you find yourself in Vero Beach and truly love food, this is your restaurant! 10/10 ”
“ Ambience, food and service all fabulous and consistent. My favorite go to spot for lunch whether with locals or out of town guests ”
“ Citron is tucked away nicely in the Village Shops on A1a, and has plenty outdoor seating, most of it shaded by umbrellas. Not the cheapest but the quality of the food is overall good, and the setting is worth the extra bit. As to their menu: if you are vegan you can get a salad and that's about it. No vegan desserts except the sorbet, which they had run out of. The salad was good but I wouldn't expect some wilted leaves at a place like this, and a bit more creativity would not be misplaced. Service was good. ”
“ Excellent, nice decor and friendly staff! Ate dinner here recently and had a very nice experience. As far as food goes, the conch fritters were delicious. I had never had conch before, and they were very fresh and had a nice heat to them. For dinner we got the steak frites and duck with blueberry sauce. A lot of places can cook a steak medium rare, but rarely do they make fries worth really digging into. The Parmesan fries that came with the steak were super crispy and delicious. The duck was great too, though a smidge overdone. For dessert, the blueberry bread pudding was phenomenal. Truly one of the best desserts I've had in a long time. Very much recommend this spot! ”
“ We like this place the more we go there. A great little hideaway in a small village of upscale Vero beach shops. The patio is quite protected by the surrounding buildings and is very pleasantly laid out with umbrellas for each table. Servers are always knowledgeable and work at an efficient but not hurried pace. The menu is well curated and we have enjoyed many different items. Great to go there for lunch and then visit some of the shops! ”
