Diner Reviews

"It is the best restaurant we've been to on the treasure coast! Everything about it was "top notch"."
Dined on 3/9/2014
"The food wasn't as good as I'd hoped it would be and was very expensive. Service was good and the drinks were great. The dessert menu was lacking. Coffee was excellent."
Dined on 3/9/2014
"Our reservations were honored right on time, the food was very good as was the service. The room is very romantic and is on the beachside of the hotel. It was Friday night and they had a husband and wife team singing in the lounge. They played all types of music and there was dancing and a good time had by the people in the lounge. We went into the lounge straight from dinner and enjoyed the rest of our evening until the singers finished and it was time to go. We have been to the Cobalt room at the Vero Beach Hotel before and will certainly go again."

"I thought the food, lobster roll was excellent. Truffle fries, outstanding. Wonderful table with a few of the ocean. Sitting under a vent I was cold throughout lunch. Never offered a refill on my ice tea...just as well because I was so cold!"

"I am NOT a foodie, nor do I notice or practically care about distinct flavors, however Cobalt served some of the best and creative dishes I have eaten. the beet the salad was unusually excellent, the lobster main course is outstanding and the toffee bread pudding was to die for"

"We had enjoyed Cobalt happy hours several times due to bar snacks and cocktails at great prices. We selected Cobalt because of our happy hour experience and other Kimpton Hotel visits. Ambience and service were superb and dining area with ocean views was large enough to permit us a more private table. Waiter was very attentive and checked on us frequently. The beet and cabbage salad was creative and tasty, also complementary based on our Open Table reservations. My snapper was excellent but my wife's sweet potato gnocchi was not thoroughly cooked and the bottom crust of peanut butter pie was like concrete, although taste was good. Chef did come out when he heard about the gnocchi, as they were trying, but had overlooked a few basics."
Dined on 3/3/2014
"I wanted a restaurant that would allow 5 family members who hadn't seen each other in 35 years to enjoy a leisurely lunch. I live 2 hours away and was unfamiliar with the restaurant . Open Table was most helpful AND the restaurant was sensational!"
Dined on 3/3/2014
"This was a great place to get together with friends for lunch. We were welcomed by a friendly hostess, who escorted us to the lounge so we could grab a drink while waiting for our table. Once seated outside, we placed our order and enjoyed the gorgeous view of the ocean. Our server brought our plates, but got 2 of the orders wrong....no problem, it was fixed quickly and professionally. Our group ordered the steak sandwich, a burger, a wrap, and a fried green tomato BLT....everyone was pleased. If you are looking for a nice relaxing place to bring friends, show them the view, and have great food and service, then this is it!!!!"

"Limited parking, but Free valet service. There is a very large balcony with spectacular ocean views for outside dining. large well trained staff. The food is outstanding with excellent portions. Has a very active and fun bar. I rated the noise level as moderate because of the bar noise but it was not annoying, it sort of made you want to go to the bar after dinner. We were seated one table from the bar door. When you arrive, turn left into the glass doors to the elevator to skip the stairs in the hotel lobby. Try the Muscato wine. Book early, they fill up fast. We received an excellent free Lobster appetizer because we made reservations through Open Table. We will go back."

"It was a spectacular evening to dine al fresco, especially at Cobalt. It is an absolutely beautiful setting along the beach. The food was great! Will definitely be back!"

"An outstanding experience time and time again ! Simply top quality, from service to food to ambience."

"grouper was excellent red snapper so-so 2 of u a a salad buts waiter should have warned us we would each get a tbs full-- it was minute"

"Not what it was last year in terms of service or cooking."
Dined on 2/24/2014
"It was my husband's birthday February 23rd and I wanted to take him to Cobalt for its Sunday brunch - the brunch offers both breakfast and luncheon items. We chose to have lunch since we normally order from the breakfast section - My husband had the fried green tomato sandwich and I had the maui fish sandwich. Both were great - we shared truffled fries and cole slaw for sides. Great! Normally we do not get dessert but opted for a delicious peanut butter cheesecake slice with a great not overly sweet fudge sauce w/inhouse made banana ice cream - it was a very happy birthday brunch -"
Dined on 2/23/2014
"We made an open table reservation ahead of time for a 60th birthday and requested a nice table with a view. Not only did they not have a table that we requested, they scrambled to stick us in another room without a view by a door."
Dined on 2/23/2014
"From the initial welcome to the final goodbye, this was an excellent experience. Staff was competent, helpful and friendly. I had the best sirloin burger of my life. Cooked perfectly medium rare with no bun, as ordered, the beef stands on its own, beefy and juicy, it can't get any better. It was served with onion jam and, fries as good as any we've had in France and Belgium, where they are an obsession. My wife's lobster roll was every pronounced to be "as good as you make" at our beach house in Rhode Island. She also said that the cucumber and avocado side was amazing. We are building a new home in Vero and look forward to eating our way around the Cobalt menu in the future."
Dined on 2/22/2014
"Overall excellent in everyway! The food is superb and served in portions that allow you to fully enjoy all the wonderful flavors without over stuffing yourself. Can't say enough about the quality as well as the gorgeous view!!!"
Dined on 2/21/2014
"Your menu is not up to date. Several items you mentioned were not available."
Dined on 2/20/2014
"Restaurant was way too loud, music in bar area made it impossible to have a conversation in the restaurant. Waiter was rushed and said that he would only recommend 2 things on the menu, when asked about another entrée he reiterated that those were really the only things he felt were worth ordering. Waiter never removed my cocktail glass when he brought 2nd and we had to wait & wait for our dishes to be cleared. Food was fair, pumpkin soup was way too thick to be called soup, spinach salad was small & tasteless, we both ordered his suggestion which was the strip steak special, it was overcooked and not tasty. I have only dined at this restaurant for lunch outside before...I would not recommend for dinner at all."
Dined on 2/15/2014
"The food and atmosphere were great. Service was very good until we got to dessert. We were told some selections were not available (after we had ordered) and it took over 35 minutes to be served dessert. Granted, we were a party of 10 but we all felt 35 minutes was a bit too long. The delay dampened what had been a great experience to that point. We will definitely be back but might skip dessert next time."
Dined on 2/16/2014
"While the food was EXCELLENT, there was not enough of it. We do not mind ordering Ala Cart, but the description of my seafood selection must have listed at least 3 or 4 other vegetables, and yet I could hardly find them when my meal was served. The serving size of the actual fish was generous and delicious. Our server was also very slow taking our order. While he may have been waiting for us to signal, it would have been nice if, instead of just walking by that he had actually stopped to see if we were ready to order. After walking by 3 times or more, we finally had to flag him to stop. We did not order desert because we were still hungry for dinner. The prices seemed high on that account. The cocktails were generous."

"Great views, tales we'll spaced, efficient service, and very good food choices , preparation, and presentation"
Dined on 2/15/2014
"My lady, my cousin and I enjoyed a wonderful dining experience complimented by a full moon casting its beams on the ocean vista we enjoyed from our table. The staff, cocktails, food, décor, view, etc. were all wonderful. The prices are higher than most places but well worth it, in my opinion."
Dined on 2/15/2014
"Except for the avocado gazpacho which was terrible, the food was prepared beautifully - however the special menu was not at all easy to comprehend - my hub and I are both post graduate degree types and we had a hard time following it - what it boiled down to was 2 love birds got to share 2 apps 1 main course and 2 desserts - for $120.00 w/complimentary glass champagne - not good - hope this not happen again not a good idea"
Dined on 2/14/2014
"The only problem was they did not inform us of the valentine menu. I had my heart set on Salmon which was not on the menu. The set price was rather steep and included desert which I do not eat. They we're suppose to offer champagne which we never got. Food was good but I would never go on Valentin's Day unless they let you order from the regular menu."
Dined on 2/14/2014
"Two of us at the table ordered cheeseburgers cooked medium. They both came well and took a while to get to us. We eat here a lot and the food always comes in a timely fashion and is always very good. Our server came by and asked how everything was and I said good except that the burgers were overdone. She spoke with the kitchen and came back to offer us both a new burger. We were both nearly half way through and asked if we could split one. We left the second half of our well done burgers and waited for the next burger which didn't take long and came out perfect. Sometimes things go wrong even in a good restaurant but the key is how do they resolve the issue. They did a great job and we will be back there within a week."
Dined on 2/13/2014
"Dined there on a busy Sat night. Food was very good. Service was polite and able, but understaffed. The adjoining bar offered an awful Motown/disco lounge singer with digital music band - way too loud as the sound overwhelmed the restaurant area - terribly distracting and diners struggled with normal conversation."
Dined on 2/15/2014
"Cobalt consistently offers a delicious and fresh menu and is on the top of our list in. Vero. Beach. It has a modern elegance and comfortable ambiance. And you can't beat the views of the ocean!"
Dined on 2/9/2014
"An upscale evening with fabulous food and a special atmosphere outside! We sat outside on a large patio listening to the ocean. They had outdoor heaters and a beautiful fire pit area. There are few good restaurants on the beach in Vero , so this is worth the expense for a special evening! Our party of 4 loved everything we had, but some standouts were a lobster appetizer, the fish with quinoa, truffle fries,and the peanut butter cheesecake... And great bread!!"
Dined on 2/6/2014
"We brought out-of-town guests and had a very enjoyable early dinner before going on to the theatre. The menu was interesting and varied as was the wine list. Everything we ordered was delicious and attractively plated, and the service was prompt.. We were very pleased with our choice of restaurants and will definitely be back."
Dined on 2/6/2014
"The menu look terrific on paper and on the plate, but lacks flavor (truffle fries are an exception). The salads are small and the flatbread more of a pizza. Ice cream flavors are great, but wait staff needs to get it from the kitchen to the table before it becomes a puddle. Nice wine selection. Friendly attentive wait staff. Will give Cobalt a second chance."

"Love this place - great view, food, ambience - even the valet parking was complimentary"

"Pleasant ambiance, great food, waiter needed more training."
Dined on 1/26/2014
"Usually give this place 5 stars, but the cook was a bit off today. Both of my husband & mine's meals were a bit over cooked, dry. With a group of people and did not want to complain. Never had this problem before, not sure if they changed cooks. Always busy, so should not have been an issue. Great wait staff!"
Dined on 1/26/2014
"The food there is always wonderful. We chose our entrees as much by the sides as the main food. Excellent wine choices and service too."
Dined on 1/24/2014
"Are you kidding me. You sent me a note yesterday that the restaurant advised I was a no show and I sent you back a note that I had indeed been on time on date of reservation. And now you send me this, like nothing was amiss. Get your act together and don't bother me again!"
Dined on 1/22/2014
"food was excellent, ambience was very nice, ocean view, waiter seemed to forget about us at times, prices high"
Dined on 1/15/2014
"Cobalt is my choice for a special dinner celebration. The food is always delicious, beautifully presented and the portions are just right. I had the grouper served on a bed of quinoa - wonderful. However, the salad greens were limp. My husband had the scallops which he really enjoyed. Even though the restaurant was not crowded, the service at the beginning was slow. Our drinks were brought after the salads. I would prefer to sip and talk before the food was served. So timing could be improved. The warm bread was delicious. Cobalt is right on the ocean. If the night was warmer, it would be great to eat outside."
Dined on 1/12/2014
"Beyond terrible service, kitchen was so disorganized that it took two hours to get our meal. When we got it, disappointing. So different from my 12/30/12 experience, you would have to believe that they had no staff in for the night. Jenny, a server, was the only saving grace."
Dined on 1/2/2014
"I appreciated that even though there were no specific vegan menu items, our server checked with the chef and came back to the table to let me know all of the vegetables, sides, grains, that I could choose that the kitchen would then plate for me. It made for a very pleasant experience, as there are many times I end up with a salad rather than a hot entrée. Service was helpful and spot on without hovering."
