    I love going to crush 11!! Everything there is so delicious and all the cocktails are amazing!! I was surprised it was busy on a Tuesday night. Our server was Nicole and she was so sweet!! The only thing I took a star off for was it took a while to get our food and drinks. Granted it was busy, so I’m sure that’s why, but it did take longer than expected. Other than that, this place is spectacular! I do miss when they changed up their menu seasonally. They don’t do that anymore and it makes me sad. I do think this place needs to have seasonal cocktails or seasonal specials or something to spice it up a bit.

    Johnathan was wonderful. The food and service were great, but it was a bit loud and not quite as intimate as we had hoped for.

    It was our 2nd time and it is still amazing. The way the meal is served as it is done is great. We shared a lot of the items around the table and everything was outstanding. The Short Rib Rangoon and Fried Green Tomatoes were amazing. Service was excellent also. Highly recommend to anyone in the Vero Beach area.

    Wonderful choices on Chef's Specials as well as the menu. My entree was delicious and interesting. Sauteed Local Flounder topped with lump crabmeat with saffron butter sauce with capers, fresh parsley OVER local organic zucchini "pasta" cut in 1/4" x 1/8" x 4" strips- cooked al dente - 3 types of squash - added much more flavor (and less calories) than traditional pasta. Topped with fresh white asparagus. Attractively plated. Desserts sounded delicious but I resisted. Finished with a rich decaf cappo. Attentive and knowledgeable wait staff who several times addressed me by my name and sincerely thanked me for coming as I was leaving. Nice ambiance. Looking forward to returning.
