   When our party of 3 arrived, no one else was on the patio where we were seated. Before we we received water a table was seated right next to us. This is poor from from a seating perspective. Space the guests out- especially since there were different waiters for those tables. I had the duck a l'orange. It was ok. The orange glaze was too sweet and thick. The whipped potatoes were very bland. No fat or salt in them. The veg was 3 sticks of carrot and one 1 inch piece of broccoli. My dining companions had the veal au citron. Aesthetically, all the dishes are uninspired. The desserts were disappointing. The peanut butter cake pie looked like a layered chocolate mouse with a couple peanuts on top. The bread pudding was a cake with a layer of berries in the center. There was no evidence of bread in the bread pudding and there was no sauce. The overhead lighting on the patio is a bare bulb with a pull cord. Which exudes the charm of a surgical suite. We asked for it to be turned off. No one bothered to turn the battery operated table lanterns on so we turned our own on. The propane patio heaters were on and the room was a good temperature.

   Our experience was negatively impacted by the service. For example 20 minutes to get a glass of wine. A forgetful server or bartender? No reason given. The main restaurant only had 6 tables when this happened. Our server seemed to be running around like crazy. We couldn’t figure out why. It took awhile to get his attention to get the check. This is not our first time at Frenchie’s but it will be awhile before we return.

   One of the most pleasant meals we have had in Vero! Excellent food, great service. Not crowded orloud like many lesser Vero restaurants. The atmosphere is a little plain, but truly a great place.

   Took my husband there for his birthday and so glad we went. We are slightly picky, me more than him. He loved everything. The service was attentive, relaxed and made us feel very welcome. My husband had the scallops appetizer that was presented beautifully and a generous portion. He followed with the surf and turf which was cooked to perfection. The wine list included wines from around the world. We finished off the evening with a scrumptious limoncello gelato served in a champagne flute that our server recommended. Everything was exceptional!

   Definitely a hidden gem, top notch dining experience start to finish, delicious food, decent cocktails, and fantastic service. Our server was Tina, I think! She was very sweet and attentive and answered all our questions about the menu quickly and in a way we could easily understand. She was fantastic! Cocktails were good, old fashioned was well balanced. Bread was warm and delicious and served with both butter and an olive tapenade which was perfect. Appetizers were incredible, we had duck pate foie gras and lobster bisque, both dishes were well proportioned and presented magnificently with flavor to match. Our server asked if we we were ready for dinner and after such delicious bread and appetizers we couldn’t wait! The filet was perfect: tender, juicy, and with an amazing sauce. We also had the duck l’orange and that, honestly was the star of the show. Very memorable dish with layers of great flavor. Our only gripe was the potatoes and vegetables with both dishes were quite bland and though not bad at all, just would have expected more effort at such an expensive place. Dessert was also excellent, the peanut butter chocolate explosion cake was rich and the gelato was wonderful. Overall, I would absolutely come here again in an instant. Great experience start to finish.

    The Caesar salad is incredible. I had the Dover sole which was excellent. The special of the night was the mahi-mahi with crab meat and my guest enjoyed it just as much. We even splurged for dessert with the pistachio gelato, and it was worth the calories.
