This place is absolute aces. Best food, awesome drinks and a wonderful relaxed casual fun atmosphere. Tonight our bartender was Brianna. She is an outstanding bartender and a true ambassador for Chive's Brand. Chive is the best place to relax and meet friends. Think of Cheers the TV show with a Florida flair. Go -- you will not be disappointed.

Local favorite Chive is the passion project of Lou Kolbauer who was interested in creating a restaurant that would showcase a menu influenced by his diverse background. He is also known in the area for The Green Marlin Restaurant & Raw Bar and Rosie Malloy's Pub. Chives first opened in a small space on Dixie Highway in 2013. A second location was opened on Royal Palm Pointe in 2014 and in 2018 Chive moved to current larger location on Miracle Mile. The Chives menu is vast. Their tag line is "quick, creative cuisine." Depending on what you order, you can experience New American cuisine, Traditional, Asian Fusion, or Soul Food. Order at the counter and craft you ideal meal of a sandwich, salad, tacos, bowls, or burrito from an array of fresh toppings, proteins, and dressings, or choose a menu selection created by Chives. Once your meal is ready you can take it to any one of the booths or high tops in the dining room decorated with recycled panels turned into art or eat outside on the inviting courtyard patio at a picnic table. You can also sit at the full service bar which offers the same create your own menu and even more menu options not offered at the order counter. Sounds confusing? It is but worth getting the hang of. The menu also offer fresh fish, soup, and daily specials that included big smash burgers, lunch baskets from 11-3 PM, and BOGO smoothies from 2 to 4 PM. I decided to order at the counter and after studying the menu before coming in I knew I wanted the Korean Beef Tacos made with seared steak, lettuce, carrots, cucumbers, Thai glass noodles, cilantro, scallions, and feta cheese and topped with Sriracha Aioli & Judo Chop in 2 flour tortillas. The beef was tender and the tacos were full of flavor and crunch. Everything is cooked to order and I was able to watch the platting of my dish in the open kitchen by no less than three people. You can tell that fresh ingredients and care go into the food crafted here. For my side I chose the macaroni and cheese. It was a creamy incarnation of the dish rather than my preferred southern style, baked version. It was ok, just not to my taste and kind of bland. I probably should have ordered some kind of vegetable. if you are looking for creative, healthy choices without sacrificing taste, Chives is worth visiting.

We went for the first time and everyone was super helpful! The bartender welcomed us and directed us to where we needed to order. The people making the food were super kind and the food came out not only tasty but a work of art! The place was super clean with cute decor. The fountain drinks are self serve and so is the silverware. 10/10!

Came here the other day to try their wings and some appetizers. At the time I went it was rather busy but I sat at the bar. Ambiance was neat and the bathroom was clean as well. For my appetizer I had ordered the reuben egg rolls and they were something else. I was really impressed that this exists. And for my entree I had 20 chicken wings. Half mild and the other half was sauced in a sauce called awesome sauce. The wing special is probably the best deal in town but I was not pleased with the time limit, I think the special ends at 7pm and the wings are only .79 cents but celery sticks and other sides are not included and you'd be charged regular price for those items. I enjoyed my visit and will be coming back to try their other sauces and other options of food.

Was on a work trip in Vero Beach and definitely pulled out my YELP to check out the hot restaurants in the area and this place came up as one. When I arrived, there was no hostess degree so I just assumed that you're supposed to sit down and waiter will come and take your order, but that wasn't the case. You have to order your food at the front desk For sit down and then somebody will come bring you your food so totally different and reverse for me. I had the Korean tacos. They were so freaking delicious mind blowing great! I also have their margaritas which was four dollars all day long not bad at all. I wanted to try their shrimp Poboy, but I guess I'll have to try it out another time when I'm in town.

Mahi and Scallop cake salad
Erica C.

Late night quick bite takeout without suffering through fast food. Two Mahi and scallop fish cake salads and a side of Swiss Mac and cheese. Super fresh and good. Salad had options of a lemon dressing or Cajun remoulade. Tried with both- flavorful but the lemon was my favorite. Salad had fresh salsa, pineapple, corn, black beans, greens. Swiss Mac and cheese you can get with or without bread crumbs, and a side is actually a lot. Service was quick, staff nice. Great bar inside too and saw others getting fish tacos and tuna nachos- both looked yummy. Looked like there were drink specials as well.

Korean beef tacos with side of chips and salsa
Diane R.

We went as 1st timers. Bar area has full service otherwise order at counter. Many options I went with Thai chicken wrap, has lettuce, carrots, clear noodles, chicken, feta cheese, peanut sauce and sriracha mayo; wrapped really nicely so it stayed together, overall very fresh. The feta was a bit of a miss for me with the other flavors, had a slight kick which was perfect, just the right amount of noodles and chicken. Fries were my selected side. Husband had the Korean beef tacos he said they were good and his side was chips and salsa which he liked. Service was friendly and helpful. Place has several TVs so that adds to sports tavern type ambiance.

Korean beef salad

We had lunch at Chive today and it was amazing! We had the Korean beef tacos and the Korean beef salad--both were super fresh and full of flavor. All of the staff were so nice and helpful. Everything on the menu looked so good, we had trouble deciding. We are already looking forward to coming back!

I don't like eating with plastic plates / baskets etc for food that isn't cheap. Food was ok, I didn't like the self-serve set up.

The last time I was there the ice water had a film on the surface so I didn't want that. When I went to check out The owner charged me $2,40 for the hot water !

With so many positive reviews I was surprised upon pulling up. The restaurant is located in a rundown strip mall. Inside is better, clean and orderly but nothing special whatsoever. Lunch counter 'ish of sorts. Service was fine, again nothing special. It's the food that is the issue. We had the "loaded" grilled cheese and a chicken pesto melt. The loaded grilled cheese sounded good until it arrived. Maybe 2 slices of cheese on some Italian bread. Looked like something I might make in a hurry by throwing it into the microwave. I can only assume the loaded part was the bread since there was way more of that than any cheese. It was incredibly short on filling. Same for the chicken sandwich my wife got. I kid you not when I say the chicken was a "sprinkle" on the bread. Not a cutlet or anything substantial. Again, mostly bread by a long shot. Yes, prices are reasonable but NOT for what they deliver. Flavors were bland as well.

*INITIAL REVIEW*…read more Today, my family and I celebrated Mother's Day given the fact one of my sisters and I would be too busy to celebrate it on the actual day. Ergo, we made a trip down to Vero Beach and had fun at both McKee Botanical Gardens and the Vero Beach Museum of Art (VBMA), both which got stellar reviews by me in the past. In between both locales, we were hungry and needed to eat someplace local. I had some suggestions, but my mom was in the mood for seafood. As a suggestion from reviews, The Crab Stop of Vero Beach was ultimately decided upon. I have to say, I am happy this restaurant was suggested because it is very good. Even though an address is provided, The Crab Spot of Vero Beach (which I will shorthand simply to Crab Spot for the remainder of this review) is located on the southside of the entryway into Royal Palm Place, one of the many extensions leading out into the water near US-1, but this one is known for the Royal Palm Park at the end. Initial display, decor, and ambiance has the stereotypical local dive bar look with elements showcasing they specialize in seafood, and the little bits of rustic flaws adds a bit of character for what they are. I would not expect such a look for a high-end restaurant, but this works for a local place on the river. The chairs squeeked, the table wobbled a bit in which the waitress fixed with some coasters, and the plates were chipped. No problem at all. There was even outdoor seating in the back bar-style which gives you a nice view of the canal that leads to the river. It was high sun, so we opted for the air conditioning. Now we move on to the food. I have to say that the majority of our food was really good, and when you adjusted to what you are eating, it was top-notch. Key word, however, is the "majority." The good: the hush puppies basket as you get 10 hush puppies that are lightly-seasoned with 1000 island sauce. If you eat one, it is probable you might think it is light on seasoning. However, they are small and finishing all 10 won't be a problem. The flavor builds with each hush puppy, which was smartly done compared to what most seafood places do: give you like two to five hush puppies of large size and high flavoring. The wings, however, used a hot sauce that was mostly vinegar. This ruined the wings for me, and if my stepdad ordered 20, he'd be eating the majority of them. Everything else was top-notch and delicious. Altogether, my family ordered the Fish and Chips, Mahi Sandwich, Fried Catfish Sandwich, Sea Scallop Snack Pack, and the Crab Cake Dinner. Details for each dish in the pictures. On a sidenote, the restroom was okay as in clean and stocked, but not the best-looking restroom I seen. Maybe the "character" could have not be extended to the restroom. Ultimately, I am giving Crab Stop four out of five stars. I do enjoy a good "mom n' pop" place as I prefer to support local and small, but since this is the only time I went, I can't justify a five-star rating until they prove to be consistent. I will be back as there is another park just south of this business that has geocaches that need to be found AND I may also try to hide a traditional letterbox here. But take note for a local seafood stop, this place is good to go.

Drove all the way to the restaurant to be told they are out of Crab, Clams, Mussels, oysters! Fried…read moreclam strips and fish were options. How does a Crab/seafood place run out of everything. Poor management if they can't keep the main menu items in stock. Based on some other reviews, this is a common occurrence. We left without even sitting down.
