Baci Trattoria
“Baci” means kisses and “trattoria” means a small, informal eatery. This tucked-away cafe in Towne Plaza includes outdoor courtyard seating. Owners Karen and Jerry Sulchini call it “a funky Italian food experience.” Order cider-baked doughnuts with vanilla mousse as an appetizer. Get the Nutella spiedini, thick-sliced challah bread French toast with sliced bananas and “amaretto di baci” syrup. Or any eggs Benedict.

Kountry Kitchen ... With Love
This Southern family-style restaurant opened in 1990 under different ownership before siblings Dyana Langford and Mark Santangelo took over in 1998. It has homemade muffins and daily breakfast specials, and it’s most known for its biscuits and gravy. Hit the ATM first because this is a cash-only restaurant.

Cobalt
Named for the blue-green oceanfront view from every alfresco table, this special-occasion restaurant’s large patio with towering palm trees is set behind the Kimpton Vero Beach Hotel & Spa. Its Easter brunch buffet from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. features a raw bar, carving station and holiday favorites for $110 per adult and $39 per child ages 12 and younger. Plus, it includes live entertainment and children's activities from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Captain's Galley
In 1984, the late Dennis Horvath and his sister opened the original Captain’s Galley Restaurant across from the Fort Pierce City Marina and P.P. Cobb General Store. In 1987, Horvath moved and expanded the restaurant to the corner of Seaway and Indian River drives. He ran the eatery with his wife and three children until his death in 2014. Expect to wait for a table. Get the Belgian waffle, but split it with someone to save room for more menu items. Order smaller portions of some plates, such as eggs Benedict and pigs in a blanket. Takeout is available only during the week.
Address: 825 Indian River Drive, Fort Pierce
