Cobalt — Restaurant in Vero Beach

See my edit below!

We were taking my in-laws out to lunch. We knew that it was expensive, but it didn’t matter, we wanted them to have a wonderful time. They cannot afford meals at this price point.

We ordered and waited. It took quite some time for our food but the view made it bearable.

3 out of the 4 plates were wrong. My father in law received an egg on his burger that he didn’t want. My fries were on his plate as well. My mother in law ordered over easy eggs on her bagel with her salmon plate. The yolks were hard. I ordered a burger with no bun, an extra patty, 2 eggs and bacon. I received only 3 patties. They went retrieve our server.

She went off to get things corrected. They returned after two of us were nearly finished with new eggs for my mother in law. Also, they returned with bacon and eggs for me, no new patties, which were cold by now.

I was a bit shocked but I didn’t want things to take longer so I ate it. I figured the server would make some adjustments on the bill.

She didn’t!

I had to say something to her, she then removed $15 from my $160 total. Not even close to what should have been done.

Terrible service. I would have been happy to spend $200 for good service and the orders arriving properly.

The only positive was the view!

Ok, Jeffery the manager made things right. I came in to speak with him about the issue we had. He was very apologetic and took great care of us the same evening. We had an excellent meal, everything was cooked perfectly. The service couldn’t have been better.

Every business can have an off day, but will they correct it? Most certainly, Cobalt will. Highly recommend. Don’t miss the chance to eat here when you’re in the area.

Thank you for the great dinner...

Came into Cobalt on a Saturday afternoon (2:30). We were a party of 8 and the problems began when they could not find our reservation. This didn't prove to be a major deal as the restaurant was basically empty. They sat us outside but the weather wasn't cooperating and so we asked if they could accommodate us inside. We were told no (I'm being generous when I say that maybe three tables inside were taken), but we could try Heatons next door as they had outside heaters. We noticed they had outside heaters also so we asked to have one moved to our table and lit. This took quite a bit of time as they had to first find someone to move the heater, and the first one they tried didn't work. We again asked to be accommodated inside and after much feet shuffling they moved tables together to accommodate us (why this couldn't have been done the first time we asked is beyond me). It took at least 20 mins to get our drink order ($18 for a bloody mary?), We also put in our food order (this weekend menu leaves a lot to be desired) and after a long wait we received our drinks (again, the restaurant was empty). The waitress who had zero personality and a bad attitude throughout starting handing out the drinks, when there were 2 drinks left on the tray it became unbalanced and the 2 drinks fell and spilled all over the back of one member of our party. Instead of apologizing, the mess was just cleaned up and everything was supposed to be ok. The food arrived and at best was just ok. The waitress with the terrible attitude slammed the check down on the table and we proceeded to pay over 300 dollars for a terrible experience. Not going back, there are too many other fine...

Our family recently celebrated a special occasion at Cobalt, a charming restaurant in Vero Beach, ideally situated by the ocean. We chose to sit on the patio, at a large table nearest to the picturesque view—a perfect backdrop for my sister’s birthday.

From the moment we arrived, the ambiance of Cobalt impressed us. The service was prompt and courteous, adding a touch of excellence to our dining experience. Our meal started on a high note with a selection of appetizers including Crispy Calamari, Tuna Nachos, and Roasted Brussels Sprouts, each dish delightfully prepared and bursting with flavor.

The entrées lived up to the promising start, satisfying everyone’s palate with their freshness and quality. However, an unexpected twist occurred mid-meal when the sprinklers unexpectedly activated next to our table. While this could have dampened the evening, it instead added a splash of hilarity as we dashed for cover. The situation was handled with grace and efficiency; Greg, the manager, quickly accommodated us at a different table so we could continue our celebration without further ado.

Despite the brief interruption, our overall experience at Cobalt was fantastic. The team did an exceptional job ensuring that the rest of our evening was enjoyable. I would heartily recommend Cobalt to anyone looking for an excellent dining venue in the Vero Beach area, whether for a casual meal or a special occasion. The combination of delectable food, stunning views, and attentive service makes Cobalt a must-visit...
