Excellent Food! We had mussels and halibut. Cooked to perfection. The house bread was super tasty, too!
The consistent delivery of excellence by The Tides kitchen and staff have it at the top of the 'coveted dinner destinations' list in Vero Beach, FL. Many come close, but it is this diners humble opinion that they are our area's #1.
Clearly the best restaurant in Vero. The food was terrific even by snooty Manhattan standards. Great variety as well. Service impeccable and setting lovely. Top notch from someone who has sampled about 30 Vero restaurants.
Excellent service and delicious food! Definitely a great place to celebrate our anniversary.
Another great meal at what is claimed to be the best fine dining restaurant in Vero Beach Florida. I am a fan of their seafood entries. Each fish is based on the catch of the day and changes frequently. We had salmon which is a regular menu item, but I prefer something different. Not to knock it, but salmon is salmon. The two specials we went for were the swordfish and the halibut, both were excellent and cooked to perfection. To start our meal we had the raw oysters and caesar salad w/anchovies to be sure. Our server Robert was very attentive and a long-time loyal employee focused on making The Tides a special experience. The dining area is very nice, simple and relaxing. Our only bad experience was that we were seated near a large table in front of the fireplace. Of the two groups that were at this table I don't know which one was louder. Seems that when you have a conversation you don't need to share with the entire room. Note to self- next time ask for a table in the back area , which appeared to have more sophisticated diners that enjoyed fine food and quiet conversations. From my previous visit I continue to encourage you to make a reservation well in advance since The Tides is a very popular spot. Street parking is easy.
