    Blood in the Water
    CC C.

    This was my first visit to Heaton's, suggested by friends to meet for lunch. I've been visiting Vero Beach for many years and can't believe I've been missing out on this spot!! It's perfectly situated on the beach, and next to the Kimpton pool. Our server, Jaylana, was such a delight! She suggested excellent drinks - my favorite was Blood in the Water! As well as Tuna Nachos, delicious!! Definitely recommend giving this restaurant a try!

    Our new favorite lunch spot in Vero Beach, right on the ocean. The restaurant is clean, the service is friendly, and the lunch menu has a great variety of options. They offer everything from hummus to edamame, and we especially love the ahi tuna nachos and the fish tacos. There's so much to choose from that this place is definitely going on our repeat list.

    All above for this establishment! You can't beat the setting and views. Right on the ocean! Wonderful staff and culinary crew! Shannon, our server, very kind and sweet, and very attentive and informative. Delicious food! Try everything especially the Calamari and Key Lime Pie! A decadent triumph!

    Grilled Octopus*
    Abby M.

    Lovely final evening of our vacation was spent here at Heaton's! We had absolutely gorgeous ocean views, which is why we decided to try it out. I got their newest cocktail the Flying Carpet and the Grilled Octopus. The cocktail was unique and refreshing, would be perfect for a hot day. The Octopus was flavorful and had a variety of components that made the dish extremely enjoyable, it was my first time having Octopus and it's safe to say I would have it again after this! My only complaint is that if you are not a guest at the hotel it is difficult to get to the restaurant and you have to walk across their pool deck. Might just be worth it for the views and food though!

    Margarita and a Cocktailio.
    Margot C.

    Bartenders at Heatons make the most delicious Margaritas! The music was lovely and not too loud which is such a refreshing change for Vero Beach!

    beautiful view , terrible service. the food we ordered to go back to our room looked like it was thrown into the box with no care at all. no utensils or napkins. we were told the food would be delivered to us as we were sitting by the pool and after 25 minutes went back to the bar to find it sitting on the counter . gave this place 3 tries and will not be back. too bad for the Kimpton as the hotel and pool are beautiful

    Turkey sandwich with Caesar salad
    M S.

    Well, the view here is really fantastic & The food was very good. It is very casual and comfortable to hang out at. ( although the seating are a little worn I think anyplace on the beach gets that way quickly but at a fancy hotel u would expect more luxury)...but what was really excellent was the service and the way they handled a situation. My cousin ordered a burger and she was really looking forward to it because she barely eats burgers and this is a highly recommended place and she figured for 25$ it's gonna be really good. Although it said Smashburger on the menu, she didn't really understand what that was as it wasn't really described ...especially since she requested an almost raw very very rare...mooing....burger....which we who dine out know can not be obtained via smash burger because they are essentially so thin and well done they can't be that rare..... They just never mentioned that when she ordered so when it arrived she was very disappointed so when we told the manager, he immediately got her whatever she wanted and took it all off the bill with loads of apologies....so that was lovely....but the burger wasn't. She had a salad with a piece of salmon and it was ok. My husband had an excellent turkey bacon club sandwich on excellent whole grain bread, he felt it was a winner. I had truffle fries as a side and they were very thin, crispy hot and delicious...and the Grilled Octopus appetizer/ small plate as my main which was Fantastic....so were the Pina Coladas...we willbe back and we will also try cobalt which they said emphasizes steak.

    View from my seat. Chairs on the turf are not covered, but the rest of the tables are covered and have fans.

    Easy spot to grab food or a drink from the Kimpton resort. Sits right at the pool area. We checked in and got lunch. We chose a Caesar salad and a turkey club. The salad was okay. Definitely not bad, but not impressive. Simple things like the greens having similar cuts - some pieces were massive and some were smaller and easier to eat. It was very hot out, and we were sitting outside, but in a covered and fanned area. The salad was very warm/wilty when it arrived. The turkey club was a little embarrassing. I don't even know how they put the turkey on the sandwich, but there was a random gap in meat when you looked at the cross cut. There was one piece of lettuce on the sandwich - literally the size of domino. Why bother? The bacon was good and tasty. The bread was over toasted and very dry / the entire sandwich was a bit dry and kind of difficult to eat for that reason. Neither item was bad, but neither item was good. Husband and I were sharing the sandwich and salad, and we ended up putting the salad onto the sandwich to help make it easier to eat. The view: fantastic. A beautiful view of the ocean from the entire place. The servers were also great, from our arrival through our entire meal. Hostess, busser, server... all were on top of things.

    The linguine with clams
    Naomi M.

    The service is great, drinks good, food not. My husband ordered the Short Rib Arepa. The cheese in the arepa was rubbery and bland. So not good since there was an extreme amount for an arepa. They put some chili oil over it, an EXCESSIVE amount. It tasted funny. I ordered Linguine with clams. Let me start by saying, my husband who does not cook, made this dish for me on Valentine's Day following a recipe sent by our daughter. Fantastic! This is my favorite meal when I'm out to eat and it's on the menu. This was horrible here. They rendered lardon. Which sounds like a good idea, if you drain the fat and allow for a nicely prepared sauce. The noodle served (not linguine like I have ever had) more a slender egg noodle on this plate was a poor choice. If you decide to visit here. I suggest sticking to the drink menu.

    Chicken Wings, calamari, Tuna Nachos
    Michelle C.

    Came in on a gloomy Sunday afternoon. We sat outside near the heaters. The view was still nice even though it was quite cloudy. Our table of four split some appetizers as a snack in between meals. The tuna nachos were by far the best, then the chicken wings, and in last place were the fried calamari. The fried calamari were unfortunately battered too thickly that you couldn't really taste the calamari- in some pieces it was just the batter. Service was fine and the pricing for the size of food was a bit much... but in some sense, you're paying for the ambience too. Would maybe come back on a sunnier day for drinks!

    Jumbo Shrimp
    Joseph P.

    The fire pit way off to the side is nice, but I much prefer those at Cobalt, both on Vero Beach Hotel property. The food is more casual here than Cobalt, and it's not bad. I'm not a big fan of live music while I'm trying to have a conversation and eat dinner, especially when the musician is terrible. And he was. Awful.

    Amazing view. Food and service. Thank you

Without hesitation, she suggested the Riverside Cafe in Vero Beach, and we are certainly glad she did. The Riverside Cafe has been serving locals and visitors since 1986 and is located on the south side of State Road 60 just before crossing the bridge. In fact it is right below the bridge on the river. It has become something of a local institution, known for its waterfront dining, seafood, and relaxed atmosphere. There was plenty of parking available when we arrived, some even under the shade of the bridge. We entered and were greeted by a friendly hostess who quickly seated us. We chose to sit outside along the Indian River Lagoon, which provided a beautiful view during our meal. The menu has a good selection of seafood, sandwiches, burgers, salads, and other American favorites. I ordered the French Dip with fries, while my wife selected the fish and chips. My sandwich was excellent, and my wife enjoyed her meal so much that the portions were large enough for her to bring part of it home. What really made the visit memorable, however, was our waitress, Meghan. She was absolutely outstanding, the kind of server who is always two steps ahead, bringing drink refills before we even realized we needed them and checking on us just enough without ever becoming intrusive. Our total for two full meals and drinks came to about $50, which we thought was very reasonable considering the quality of the food, the generous portions, the beautiful waterfront setting, and the exceptional service. Overall, this was an excellent eating experience and one that exceeded our expectations. It definitely felt like one of those places the locals know about, and after our visit, it's easy to understand why. I would certainly recommend the Riverside Cafe to fellow travelers visiting Vero Beach area. Enjoy!

Apparently famous for French dip - I tried it and nothing special but ok and hit the spot. My wife had blackened Salmon which was large and she could not stop overeating it.

The service felt more like a cafeteria or diner than a restaurant with these prices. It wasn't very friendly or welcoming, and for what you're paying, I expected a much better dining experience. One thing that stood out was that we were never told about any specials, yet we overheard our server explaining them to another table nearby. That made us feel overlooked. The décor also felt very outdated, with a 1970s atmosphere that just wasn't appealing to me. I understand some people enjoy a nostalgic vibe, but it wasn't what I was looking for. I'm glad we gave it a try because the prime rib was very good, but overall the experience wasn't enough to bring us back.

As the night went on, it became even more apparent. The staff didn't seem to care enough to cut people off when they had clearly had too much to drink. At one point, a man approached my husband and me while we were sitting on the couch and started a bizarre conversation, making strange comments and pointing at us. We tried to ignore it, but then his "friends" had to pull him away. A little later, he came back, now more aggressive than before. I started yelling for help from other patrons or the bartender, and they only responded by pulling him away. The bartender didn't intervene at all. At that point, we decided to cut our night short. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone, not even on a quiet Wednesday. If they're not responsible enough to check IDs, they clearly don't care enough to ensure their patrons' safety or comfort.

The food is consistently delicious and well-prepared, although it is definitely on the pricier side. It feels more like a place for a special night out than an everyday dinner.

Still, the setting and overall experience was positive so I wouldn't be against another visit.
