Couples with romance on their minds know just
the place to go for that very special dinner,
ensconced in a decor and atmosphere as
romantic and unique as their feelings for each
other. Ocean Grill in Vero Beach is that place. It opened
on a romantic New Year’s Day in 1941, put together by
the eccentric entrepreneur Waldo Sexton from his vast
stores of things he’d collected over the years including
wrought iron, Spanish antiques, pecky cypress, lots of
interesting doors, mahogany and much more. The result
is a restaurant so unique inside that diners intent on a
meal have to stop and look around, point out things, and
enjoy their surroundings. “There’s something about the
long history of this building that makes people just feel
comfortable here,” said manager Beth Walsh Stewart.
Couples can gaze at each other or the waves rolling in
from the ocean. They can watch the moon rise over the
water. If there is going to be a wait for their food, they
can go down the steps and walk on the beach for a while.
When Ocean Grill was built, it was about 200 yards from
the ocean. Today, it’s less than 20 yards away. The beach
has progressively lost sand over the years. But, that makes
the view even more spectacular.
WHAT R E A D E R S S AY
Eclectic. Lots of atmosphere. Great
food and service. Good drinks and lots
you feel special when you are there.
