The Tides Restaurant
This is Kelly's favorite restaurant in Vero! While celebrating her 30th birthday in quarantine in Vero, there was no other restaurant she wanted her takeout birthday dinner from! Definitely on the higher end of restaurants, but the food is of an incredible quality and flavor that it's worth the price!
