WOOD N SPOON – Restaurant

The doors open at seven on 9th Street SW and the lights go off by three, which tells you what this Vero Beach kitchen is for: breakfast and lunch, made fresh, nothing reheated. Chef Mike Wood's team builds omelets to order, layers eggs Benedict with creamy mushrooms, turns out Florida French toast, biscuits and gravy, gyro and turkey-cranberry sandwiches, and rotates homemade soups daily. A build-your-own salad station runs past twenty toppings; ice cream closes the deal. Regulars talk about portions they cannot quite finish and food that genuinely tastes clean. Small room, big plates.
