Post & Vine Restaurant Review – Vero Beach, FL

Trying to choose between elevated food or inspired drinks? Why not both? Add some modern style with a talented, passionate team to put it all together and you have Post & Vine. Taking casual comforts to a new level is what this restaurant is all about – every part of the experience is thoughtfully crafted for a memorable night out.

Located in the heart of downtown Vero Beach on 14th Ave, Post & Vine is operated by brothers Michael and J.D. Juterbock. This location boasts a large open-air dining area and two bars, one of which even has a wood-fired pizza oven! To the side of the dining area is a comfortable lounge section seated beneath a pergola and surrounded by plants and flowers for when you want to find your Zen with a martini in hand.

Now, on to the Food & Drink!

JD is the bar manager, and he recommended that I try the following two very popular cocktails starting with Post & Vine’s famous Espresso Martini. Being a fan favorite, and mine too, I had to try it. With real espresso, Kahlua, and vanilla vodka I was in my own little world taking in every sip. I couldn’t wait too long though, because next was the Billionaire made with Old Forester Bourbon, lemon, grenadine, absinthe, and angostura bitters. Sweet, sour, and with a hint of licorice, this is a drink that makes you feel like its namesake.

I started my meal with the Crispy Pork Belly appetizer, a mouthwatering starter comprised of succulent crispy smoked pork belly and a braised peach purée finished with a bourbon pepper jelly glaze, sliced peaches, and microgreens from Zesty Fox Farms. Peach and pork go together so well, but the depth of the peach purée alongside the bourbon glaze makes this an unbelievable sweet & savory bite. This dish was recently featured on Thomas’ foodie show, Holy Grail Eats, so be sure to check that out!

Next up was the Key West Chili Lime Shrimp. A little reminder of them gem we have down south, this dish is made with wild-caught Key West Pink Shrimp prepared with lime juice, tequila, garlic, Calabrian chili, cilantro, and butter. Paired with grilled bread I simply could not get enough of these flavors. Each bite was like being in the Keys myself, but without the long drive!

I continued with one of their masterfully crafted pizzas, The Intenso. A wood-fired pie layered with a cream base, pistachios, Pecorino Romano, and thinly shaved red onion. Anyone who knows me well knows that I believe making a pizza is an art form. Each bite hits every note from sweet, savory, to crunchy, and I was having to keep myself from eating the whole thing.

Moving on to the next plate, I had the pleasure of digging into the P&V Burger — and it did not disappoint. Cooked to a perfect medium, the patty was incredibly juicy and flavorful. It comes stacked with melted American cheese, crisp lettuce, ripe tomato, sliced onion, and house-made dill pickles that bring just the right tang. This burger hits all the right notes and is guaranteed to crush any craving.

The Chicken Milanese features two tender chicken filets coated in a Pecorino Romano crust, delivering a rich, savory crunch. It’s topped with an arugula garnish lightly dressed in Meyer lemon vinaigrette, adding a bright, citrusy lift to every bite. Served alongside a flavorful eggplant caponata, the dish is rounded out with a perfect balance of sweet and tangy notes, making for a well-composed and satisfying entrée.

For the final dish, I sampled the Blackened Cobia—an exceptionally moist, flaky filet with a clean, mild flavor and just the right amount of spice from the blackened seasoning. Served over seasoned yellow rice and pigeon peas, it’s topped with a sweet and tangy pineapple salsa, fresh cilantro, and microgreens. Each bite delivers a vibrant mix of savory, sweet, and citrusy notes that instantly transports you to the islands.

With its creative food and drink offerings, Post & Vine delivers the feel of a true night out. The staff fosters a warm, welcoming atmosphere where every bite and sip is meant to be savored. The lively setting even invites the chance to make a few new friends along the way. After an evening like this, there’s no doubt—I’ll be returning again soon.
