Where to Eat

Capt Hiram’s Riverfront Restaurant.

$$ | SEAFOOD | This beachy riverside outpost on the tidal lagoon across from the Sebastian Inlet is easygoing and fun. Snag a table in the sand or on a wooden deck overlooking the water, and munch on conch fritters, “dirty” oysters (with caviar), and “triple trouble” tacos, or dig into a hearty grilled jumbo shrimp dinner or broiled warm water lobster tail. Bands jam on the outdoor stage at the SandBar Friday and Saturday nights; Sunday afternoons are reserved for reggae (several of Bob Marley’s sons have made appearances). | Average main: $16 | Capt Hiram’s Resort, 1606 N. Indian River Dr. | Sebastian | 772/589–4345 | www.hirams.com | Reservations not accepted.

Fodor’s Choice | Citrus Grillhouse.

$$$ | MODERN AMERICAN | There are rooms with a view, and then there’s this view: uninterrupted sea from a wraparound veranda at the southern end of Humiston Park. Even better, the food here is a straightforward, delicious celebration of fresh and fabulous. One such dish—the fire-roasted baby squid with grilled lemon, garlic, toasted crouton—is an exercise in restraint that you can’t help but gobble up. Speaking of gobble-gobble, the herb-roasted breast of turkey sandwich with arugula, tomato, red onion, and red-wine vinaigrette on a toasted sesame roll is the idyllic light lunch on the beach. Sunset lovers (and bargain hunters) rejoice over the three-course prix-fixe menu Monday through Thursday from 5 to 6 pm. | Average main: $24 | Humiston Park, 1050 Easter Lily La. | 772/234–4114 | www.citrusgrillhouse.com | No lunch Sun.

FAMILY | The Lemon Tree.

$$ | DINER | If Italy had old school luncheonettes, this is what they’d look like: a storefront of yellow walls, dark-green booths, white linoleum tables, and cascading sconces of faux ivy leaves and hand-painted Tuscan serving pieces for artwork. It’s self-described by the husband-wife owners (who are always at the front) as an “upscale diner,” and locals swear by it for breakfast (served all day) and lunch. Expect a short wait any day in season at peak hours. There’s always a treat on the house, like a glass of sorbet to finish lunch; and don’t miss the shrimp scampi—the sauce is so good, you’ll want to dip every bit of the fresh focaccia in it. | Average main: $20 | 3125 Ocean Dr. | www.lemontreevero.com | No lunch or dinner Sun. No dinner June–Sept.

Ocean Grill.

$$$ | SEAFOOD | Opened in 1941, this family-owned Old Florida-style restaurant combines its ocean view with Tiffany-style lamps, wrought-iron chandeliers, and paintings of pirates. Count on at least three kinds of seafood any day on the menu, along with steaks, pork chops, soups, and salads. The house drink is “Pusser’s Painkiller”—a curious blend first mixed by British sailors in the Virgin Islands and rationed in a tin cup. It commemorates the 1894 wreck of the Breconshire, which occurred offshore and from which 34 British sailors escaped. | Average main: $28 | 1050 Beachland Blvd. | 772/231–5409 | www.ocean-grill.com | Closed 2 wks around Labor Day. No lunch Sun.
