Restaurants near Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge

On a short holiday getaway in Vero Beach we tried Trattoria Dario for dinner on 12/26. The atmosphere was festive and the restaurant was busy. Service was efficient and friendly. Our food was excellent. We’ll go again next time we’re in Vero. Great find!

Great food and the service, outstanding. The restaurant was a little loud, but that can't be helped when there's a full house.

Wonderful experience all around, food, service and ambiance. Couldn’t expect more for a family Christmas Eve dinner

Chad was a great server, very personable! The star of the show was Chef Kyle. We have been here before and when he saw our name, immediately said to the server “oh, she’s (daughter) getting the burger. Spot on. My wife got the filet, and he knew she wanted it mid-rare. Love this restaurant! Highly recommend!

We came for Christmas Eve dinner at 2pm hoping to enjoy the duck but were told that only lunch menu was available. No matter there were sufficient choices for us to enjoy. We both started with specialty drinks and crab cake then I enjoyed the salmon and Daniel enjoyed the skirt steak. We shared the key lime Pie some cappuccino with sambuca all while enjoying an ocean front view. Life does not get any better than this. Can’t wait to come back.
