    The environment was noisy, so difficult to talk with our friends. Ciena, our waitress was excellent. But we thought that the menu was limited and the quality was not so great. My wife had your fish tacos in the past and they were great. Not this time.

    Food was ok but overpriced for what it was. I had the fish tacos, do not recommend. The kids burgers were mediocre. The chicken was good. It was extremely noisy from the fans. The staff was amazing!

    My friend and I had great experience at White Orchid Spa at the same resort, and decided on the more casual dining at Heatons rather than Cobalt - in case we didn’t feel presentable after our massages! Heatons Vero Beach is a great location, view of the ocean, ocean breeze and sound of the waves! Our server was great, and food and beverages came out quickly. Of course the prices are “resort” level, we expected that, so plan on at least $13 for a glass of wine. The food is a limited menu of uncomplicated selections, I had the Summer Salad, with grilled peaches - they really didn’t add much to it, so, my opinion, decent, I think it was $18, so too expensive for what it was. Husband had the club sandwich, he said it was good. We will go back as there aren’t too many outdoor oceanfront dining options in Vero and this one is beautiful.

    We arrived with a reservation for 2 at 6pm, there was one table with diners all the rest were empty. Why do we need a reservation. The noise level was very bad I could hardly carry on a conversation. The beer selection was poor. The food was good but way overpriced. Lobster roll for $ 45 ridiculously small sandwich. My fish tacos had fried pellets of fish. There is no way I will ever go there again. Lousy menu selection also.

    Heaton's - Vero BeachResponded on July 5, 2023

    Thanks for dining and sharing your experience! We offer over a dozen different varieties of beer. Our lobster is hand cracked and picked fresh daily and is all Maine lobster - we are proud to be the only ones in the area that can say that!

    You would think that with only 13 guests in the bar/ restaurant area, you could get your drinks from the bar in less than 15 minutes: Yes 15 minutes. Then after we received the drinks we were approached by the server, the other waitress, the host all asking if there is anything else we need at this time. That was odd because they had all finally come out of the kitchen. Maybe they were in a meeting, but Last week was the same thing. Same speed of service I sure hope they read this and do something about it. Last year we went weekly for months because we are locals, After the service was so SLOW time and time again we stopped going. We love the atmosphere so we tried again last week and yesterday. Some things never change , But I write this not as a complaint but as I hope you fix it !

    Casual spot on the beach for lite fare. The problem is all items are way overpriced. My drink was $19, enought to buy a bottle of vodka. We had a ouple drinks, Hamburg, tuna nachos and calamari and paid $150 with tip. Big ripoff.

    My only beef is that I made the reservation almost a month in advance because I was having a guest who had never been to Florida or been to an ocean and wanted him to have a great "Florida" experience. I requested an ocean front table using that reason in a message to the restaurant and someone from Heaton's even responded back that they would definitely make sure this happened. When we got there no ocean tables were available and the host was a little curt with me stating that "nothing is guaranteed". If you never had any intention of guaranteeing me an ocean front table the first person who responded to my message should have just said that instead of implying I was going to be accommodated. Our guest was still pleased to sit on the patio and had a decent view and everything else was very nice.

    When we booked this restaurant thru OpenTable for dinner we didn’t realize it’s basically a poolside bar. It was challenging to find - we had to walk around the pool deck to get to it. It took almost 45 min for our food to be served. The skirt steak was way undercooked - nearly raw - and tough. The salmon was salty. The fries stale. It was dusk and they didn’t turn the lights on until nearly 8pm so we ate in the dark. The service was adequate, neither good or bad. Took awhile for her to reappear to bring our check. It was not worth the money.

    Was looking forward to their dinner menu. Paid 24$ for crab cake appetizer that was very one disappointing crab cake. Small order of blistered shishitos that lacked flavor. Came with pieces of baked bread broken up on them? Didn’t make sense Left after the appetizers. Waitress was very nice.

    No doubt some of my problem was inappropriate expectation from a poor description on the website. This is much more a pool side lounge snack bar than a restaurant. Was there for lunch. A $20 glass of wine was served in a plastic cup (okay, no glass with a pool nearby, but how about a plastic wine glass at least). Bacon wrapped figs were badly overcooked and then attempted disguise with way too much tomato sauce on top. Fish tacos were pretty good however, but nothing special. Accidentally spilled a large cup of water, and it took way too much time to get waitstaff help. If you're staying at the hotel and are splashing around in the pool with the kids and you want a quick soda and a snack, okay; otherwise go somewhere else.

    Thanks for dining! During the day, the environment is much more casual and we use plastic cups and melamine plates. At dinner, we use china ,glassware and it is a more formal setting.

    Beautiful setting but they have awful lights (heaters that are VERY bright). Reminds of me school dances when they’d turn on all the lights to let everyone know it’s time to go home. Kills the mood entirely, makes it look like a cheap place but if you’re there before the lights/heaters are necessary, then it’s really nice.

    Mixed reviews on the food. The salads were really weak. I ordered a Caesar and it barely had any dressing , no Parmesan and no croutons. Basically a bowl of wilted romaine. A friend ordered the smash burger and thought it was great. A DJ began to play at 1:00pm and we could not hear each other talk. The view is spectacular - may go again for a drink and some fries- but not much else.

    The views were great. I was not too impressed with the food given the price. Very over priced. Not worth the value. The drink I ordered might as well been considered a mocktail. I would have ordered a couple of beers too if the waitress paid any attention to us. I wasn’t going to have a big enough issue to write a review like this. But right at the end. As soon as I added a tip to the $150 bill. The hostess came over and rushed us out of the restaurant. I did not even have time to finish my drink. The place was not even busy. Such a sour ending to a meal that I was trying to make the best of. I will not go back.

    Tuna nachos tasty, but very small relative to Riverside Cafe and Grand Harbor. The fish tacos would have been better with a white fish rather than salmon. However, setting and service very good. Special thanks to the Maitre d — who walked us all the way thru the labyrinthine hallways from the restaurant to the hotel entrance. And saw that our valet parking (free for diners) was honored.
