    After living in Vero Beach for two years, we finally stopped in for dinner. Wow! Love the location, decor, and the menu! The food was delicious and did not disappoint! Guess we've found a new favorite place to dine!

    We had such a beautiful meal! Oh my word. This is our new place we will bring friends to in the future. We had two of the daily specials, salmon fettuccine, French dip, jerk chicken. The food was not the best, but it was certainly nice service and atmosphere. Sticky table.

    Food was mediocre at best. Catch of the day clearly was NOT anything close to fresh. It was a definitely from a commercial food package. Pulled chicken taco was actually sliced chunks of a cutlet. Fried pickles were in greasy tasteless breading. Pulled pork bowl was okay. Sides were also pretty tasteless

    I always love going to Black-fins at Captain Hiram’s. I love the open patio right on the river and be able to see the views. If you don’t like too much noise go during the weekdays and before 6pm on Friday and Saturdays, if you like band’s playing then carry on as usual. The food is always pretty good and service is super fast if they aren’t too busy. You now can reserve a table on line which I love!

    My reservation was for my daughters birthday celebration. It took 2 hours and 10 mins. to receive half of the appetizers for the table. The other appetizers arrived with the meal 30 mins. later. To top it off the food was COLD! It looked as if it was left -over from another's guest plate. Needless to say we didn't eat our food. Long story short I had to reach out to the manager to inquire about the long wait. The place was about to close and we had not been served. I was told management was working the kitchen because they were short staffed. A sorry apology and free beverages was the prize. It was my first and very last visit. Worst birthday dinner ever!!!!

    Crab cake was too fried and dried out. Baked potato was in the warming drawer too long. Vegetable of the day was terrible. Limited alcohol brands. Only positive note was the view.

    Wow, what an unexpected find. From the outstanding service (thanks Matt!) to the perfectly prepared food (my blackened fish tacos were about the best I’ve ever had), we all had a great meal and time. Outdoor seating on the water really completed the night. Will be back soon!

    KB was a fantastic waitress! We sat right on the water. The breeze and view was phenomenal! We only thought the service and views couldn’t be outdone…then we were served the most delicious seafood dinner. Scallops, shrimp, crab stuffed grouper, tuna, fresh veggies…SO GOOD. You must eat here! The value for the meal was also excellent.

    Fried crab cake was hard. Rice inedible. Burgers were so-so and fried fish was overdone and not flaky at all (2 orders). On the plus side, I asked that my crab cake be lightly broiled and it was. Sadly, I grew up in Maryland and that was not a Maryland style crabcake. We were treating out of town family to dinner and we were very disappointed.

    The setting along the Indian River is very nice and the overall atmosphere is relaxed. We went on a Sunday so it was fairly quiet. Service was good enough - though she did forget our drinks and refused to clear the table, saying a busser would come, which he never did. The food was just ok. I had seafood pasta that was just a bowl of butter - it made my stomach hurt. My husband got stuffed flounder, which was salty and tasted a bit fishy. The coconut cream pie was fine, but could have been from a grocery store. Overall, I recommend sticking to drinks and raw bar at the sandbar.

    Nice view close to the water. Service was slow took 10 minutes until someone ackonweldged us then took 45 minutes to get our simple breakfast order. Was warned before as they had a big private group in a room and the kitchen was backed up but it was a long wait. ZFood was good and price reasonable but the service and delivery was dreadful.

    We had 7 adults and two small children on Mothers Day. It was a short wait for our table but once seated our waiter was very accommodating, especially for the children. All our food came out together and I didn’t hear any complaints. So yes I would return for another meal.

    We were a group of 5. As always, the restaurant was excellent. Our wait-person was outstanding. There were a couple of instances that were not quite up to the highest mark of this review. The broiled scallops were overcooked and seemed to be a bit bitter; probably from overheated butter to brown them. Also, the lemon torte from the special Mother's Day dessert menu was very small for the price. Beyond that, everyone had a wonderful time sitting by the water in the breeze out on the porch.

    Our visit to Blackfins at Captain Hiram’s Resort was overall very nice. Our server didn’t initially notice us when we were seated, but once that was cleared up, she took great care of us. Our dishes were great, served promptly and it was a great place to enjoy a Mothers Day lunch.

    Olivia, our server, was perfect. You could not have asked for better service. I love that if I call and make a reservation, the hostess has made an honest and concerted effort to seat my family along the water or at our favorite table. The prices are a bit high, but the view and the non rushed atmosphere, along with prompt food service, makes it worth it!

    Hello, our server and overall service was absolutely amazing. However, although I enjoyed my meal we had several folks at the table who was disappointed with their food! Specifically the ones who ordered the Sea Food pasta and fettuccine bowel (all said it was too watery) and the fish and chips had two small pieces of fish for the price. Other than that the service was perfect ams we all had a great time. ❤️

    Minus zero. Made a last minute reservation about 2 hours before. Arrived for reservation. We sat down ordered pretty quickly and nothing had arrived for 45 minutes. Drinks came quick. People’s appetizers and raw bar came quick but the hot food was on back order. Waitress came after a half hour and said your ticket is up next. She said kitchen is busy but it seemed it was moving quick for everyone else around us. When a manager came over on exit he had absolutely nothing to say. Only good thing about this experience was Fred the bird (an ibis). Glad I’m only a visitor here because I will not be back.

    Was first seated next to open window with high winds and server refused to close it because the people at the next table who were not experiencing the same winds did not want them closed, so I asked that they seat us elsewhere. The chefs do not pay attention to the server's comments - asked for lightly blackened and was over dark blackened and extremely salty snapper - unable to eat it. Took it home and washed it out. Rolls and butter were excellent. Our server was excellent after we were moved to another table but the first server was terrible next to the huge winds blowing in where we were unable to sit comfortably and refused to help until we asked to be seated elsewhere. Not a place I would return. The food could have been cooked better - they need to update their chefs to make people want to eat there again. It was just okay food but not as good as Riverside Cafe in Vero Beach.
