Quiet Little Cafe’

On a quaint alley way, right off 14th Ave, in downtown Vero Beach is a quiet little Cafe’ that is relaxing, delicious and you would think you were somewhere in Europe. The Melody Inn is the place, I was treated like gold. The owners are the chefs and care about everything that comes out of the kitchen. I tried the “Le Cordon Bleu” - a pork chop tenderloin filled w/ham & cheese and lightly breaded along with “Rooschti” a shredded potato grilled to perfection and fresh beets in a vinaigrette. Ice cream in a 7 chocolate sauce finished off this delightful meal. This is a romantic, clean restaurant that is worth finding. Gene Billero
