Edelweiss
Prepare to feel as though you have stepped into the past as you walk through the doors of Edelweiss. You'll be greeted by warm and rustic charm of wood and servers dressed in traditional lederhosen ready to serve you one of many German beers on draft or a German wine.
This quaint restaurant is only open Wednesday through Friday for dinner though, so plan carefully. Sample tasty menu items like a liver dumpling soup, red cabbage and a bratwurst. Save room for dessert. Edelweiss serves a traditional selection including apple streudel and black forest cake.

Cafe Coconut Cove
The name might make you think you'll be dining on tropical fare, but the Cafe Coconut Cove serves traditional German cuisine based on family recipes from Rhineland, Germany.
Sip a traditional German Pilsner while watching the sunset over the Indian River Lagoon. Start the evening with homemade liver pate and then try the sauerbraten (sliced roast beef that has been marinated and served with an array of sides). Finish the night with a traditional German dessert and a bottle Riesling.
