  So happy lemon tree had a line for breakfast and quickly convinced my husband to come here for brunch,
  
  The service is great, the atmosphere is nice and the restaurant is elegant.
  
  At first, they bring out little chocolate scones and little biscuits.  My husband loved them both.  I had the french toast amazing light and fluffy with sausage and one egg on the side and my husband had the steak adn eggs with potato and he really liked it too.  Overall a successful brunch here.

  When I first went during opening week, it was great.  The food remains excellent, but the service is lacking, and when we went there on Mothers Day 2013 it was a huge disappointment.  We had called to make a reservation several weeks before and were told only parties of 5+ needed reservations. When we got there with party of 4, were told we needed a reservation!  Had to sit at bar, and the dark haired waitress /bartender was inattentive bordering on rude.  My husband was annoyed and said he would never return based on the overall snotty attitude, regardless of how good the food was. I'm inclined to agree.

  I wanted to rate this place 3 1/2 stars-but that is not feasible here.  I really wanted to like this place more, given the favorable yelp reviews. The pros: excellent service (our server Corey was great - attentive, professional, and personable).  The lobster dirty martini was delicious ($16) and was a good start to the meal.
  The cons:  very small salads ($8 & $10 each - but very small portions).  
  My crab cake meal ($28) was not what I had hoped for & was not as delicious as I expected. The first problem was, that for $28 I would expect a lot more crabmeat and a lot less breadcrumbs/filler. Also I was unable to exchange the jasmine rice/gazpacho accompaniment with mashed potatoes, veggies or something else more to my liking without incurring a three dollar "up charge".  The crabcake just did not seem to combine well with the jasmine rice and gazpacho and made for a clumsy pairing (in my opinion).  My boyfriend's duo of pork (~$30) was ok - it was a little annoying that he could not exchange the "grits" for something more to his liking without incurring the additional three dollar "up charge". His pork belly was very fatty but the grilled pork tenderloin (the other part of the pork "duo") was quite delicious and cooked perfectly.  I thought the grits served with the pork tasted bland and definitely were not something I would order off the menu if I had the choice.  We were just underwhelmed & likely won't be back.

  For foodies, don't miss this place! Chef Michael Lander opened in January and the food is fabulous. Don't miss the lobster dirty martini - we're still talking about it. The salmon with white bean sauce was beyond delicious. The espresso creme brulee and the bananas foster bread pudding were oh so worth the calories. We were there last week and he was changing his seasonal menu the next day - wish we could have stuck around. The decor is charming - can't say enough good things about this place!

  Had a great Easter brunch with friends here. The lobster Benedict was VERY good! Others had the burgers and they said they were perfect. Will go back again next time in Vero.

  Excellent meal! Dined with a friend at the bar. Started with the scallops and then we both ordered the duck entree. Not one complaint - great service, nice wines, fabulous food.
  
  The new owners also fixed the noise issue from the last restaurant that occupied the space. It seemed much quieter and intimate, but not stuffy at all.
  
  They offer Sunday brunch and I definitely plan on checking that out. Can't wait to return to Michael's Table!

  This place is new but its shows great promise and is currently producing some incredibly fine food featuring sustainable cuisine. Ultra fresh cheeses, tomatoes, produce in appetizers and salads. Lamb chops, sweetbreads, seafood, and other solid choices prepared with creativity and discerning palates. Loved the Maine lobster martini, veal sweetbreads, crab cakes. Yum!
