We had a wonderful dinner at Cobalt's. My husband ordered the aged ribeye, which was absolutely marvelous, and I had the rack of lamb, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. We started with the grilled octopus and lobster bisque, and paired everything with a lovely French Pinot Noir. The entire experience was beautiful: great service, fair pricing for the area, and a stunning view that made the evening feel even more special. We've also enjoyed their breakfast, which is very well priced for the quality. The Classic Benedict is delicious, and the Sunrise Bagel Egg Sandwich is another great choice. Highly recommend both dinner and breakfast at Cobalt's--consistent quality, great atmosphere, and excellent service. read more

Phenomenal. Great service, delicious food, and a great location overlooking the water. The staff took great care of us and our waiter had a deep understanding of the menu, pointing us in all the right directions. Definitely recommend the dry aged steaks (NY Strip was incredible) and the Brussels sprouts as a side. read more

Came to Cobalt for an Easter Buffet. The offerings were extensive, and I certainly filled up, but the price was astronomical. Very crowded. The place could have been a bit cleaner. The buffet was in the annex in the back and we were seated near the doors, so there was a constant flow of people queueing next to our table. Lots of Boomers watching videos on their cell phones. No shame. The view is nice during the day. read more

Great restaurant with special dishes and cocktails. The dry aged beef selection is nice and the seafood was terrific, best swordfish I've had in a while. Professional staff and service was great. Sitting outside right off the beach in the evening is amazing! read more

Better than it used to be. I still love the ambiance, fire pits ocean view, etc. best truffle fries on earth. Happy hour ends at 5:00?? Cmon! But all in it's a wonderful place. More sophisticated than many Vero Beach bars. read more

Beautiful view and great food! We sat outside on their spacious patio, overlooking the waves. It was a (rare) cool day in Fl, so the weather was perfect to sit outside. We got an assortment of mimosas to start, which all looked and tasted great. We then had the coconut French toast and chicken & waffles for our brunch dishes. The coconut French toast was fantastic. The French toast itself was light and fluffy, with some chunks of pineapple, caramelized banana and a hefty dose of coconut flakes. The caramel sauce was quite tasty - kinda wished they gad provided more on the side instead of regular syrup. The fried chicken was really good - just the right amount of spice, crispy, moist on the inside. The only down note was the waffle itself, which was only ok. Between the view and the view, this was a great choice! read more

We dined at cobalt about a month ago or so for a special birthday dinner. We were staying at the Kimpton and made a reservation to come downstairs. We opted to sit outside by the water, which was absolutely amazing. It was a beautiful and peaceful night that wind was blowing, and the tables each had a little light on them, so you can see the menu and dine under some light. We started off with a bottle of wine, which the Server brought to the table and appropriately chilled next to us. For appetizers, We had some calamari and a lobster bisque soup. The lobster bisque was delicious! For the entrées we had the steak and the whitefish the steak was cooked perfectly to what I requested, and was so tender and juicy as was the fish. For dessert we ended with the crème brûlée which just cooked perfectly. I would love to return to Cobalt once again and have a nice amazing dinner by the sea. Service was on point our server checked in with us multiple times, and always insured we had what we needed. Highly recommended coming to Diana at Cobal and staying at the Kimpton Vero Beach! read more

Nice lunch with family. Ambiance is great. Food is good. Service was excellent. They were able to accommodate Gluten Free.

Excellent food and service. Warm beachfront ambiance. I highly recommend this restaurant.

We always have a great experience in this lovely Restaurant and we enjoy fresh and flavorful meals and drinks outside by the ocean each time!! The service is amazing and very attentive and friendly. You experience a unique welcome here that not many establishments bother to extend to patrons anymore. It is high-end , but it is absolutely worth the cost. Breathtaking surroundings while you enjoy your date or group hang out! Five Stars. read more

What a great experience we had at Cobalt. We ate outside and had the most beautiful views with a great sunset. We all had steaks or short ribs and everything was cooked to perfection. Excellent sides, whipped potatoes, asparagus and broccolini. Fresh and delicious oysters and cocktails to start. Celebrating a birthday and the birthday girl was brought a delicious key lime pie. The icing on the meal was our server Jonathan. He was friendly, accommodating, informative and just made our experience so much more enjoyable. Ask for him next time you go. read more

Tonight's dinner was outstanding. Johnathan was an informative helpful server. I had the squid ink pasta with a huge prawn. Wow! The sesame tuna was also excellant. The restaurant is vey spacious with a beautiful view but can be very noisy so a heads up. Outside is much quieter with an ocean view and the calming sound of waves . read more

Overpriced, excellent location, unenthusiastic waiter! We just left there for our 23rd anniversary dinner. Started with a couple drinks at the bar. Bar tenders were not that friendly. They looked bored and didn't engage in any conversation. The hostesses were a bit disorganized when we got to the stand. They got us a table on the patio. Food Service was good, but waiter was not so enthusiastic. By now i'm getting the impression no-one has a personality here.. I dunno why maybe because they all had to work July 4th. Anyway, food was well presented. We started with fried green tomatoes for $28. Then i had the skirt steak, which was excellent and my husband had the short ribs. We had fries and mac and cheese as a side. We had a draft beer, martini and a glass of house red wine and the bill with tip was $230. Glad we finally tried this place but won't be back in such a hurry, way overpriced and staff not so friendly. But maybe because they cater to the rich people of the island that's the protocol! read more

Went to cobalt for an anniversary dinner & the food and service by our waitress Toni was great. Ordered the swordfish filet, the wagyu Coulette & lobster mac and cheese. The coulette was definitely the highlight, it was delicious. Everything was great besides we would 100% go with a different side as the lobster mac & cheese was decent but very very tiny portion of lobster (4 thin slices for +$12) honestly didn't even get much of the lobster taste at all you would have thought it was just regular Mac & cheese. other than that great experience & setting right on the beach, we would definitely return! read more

Jenna did a wonderful job - very personable and efficient. After dinner Winston , a previous server, who was also a great server , came over to say hello. We appreciated their hospitality and excellent table service. The restaurant is very attractive and close to the ocean. We ordered oysters, salmon and steaks. My wife enjoyed her salmon. Two of us had the filet mignon which we enjoyed. The whipped and French Fried potatoes were delicious. So while expensive everything was excellent - Except the hostess who was somewhat rude in sitting us. She insisted we sit in a less desirable spot because she wanted to help a particular server. Observing another section closer to the ocean we objected. This went on for several minutes. She had a very negative reaction to our wishes. Clearly she needs an attitude adjustment in dealing with the restaurant's guests. We arrived early and there was plenty of room in the more desirable area. While we were eating very few new guests arrived so she couldn't have been saving reservations. Other than the hostess we had a very pleasant dinner. John T read more

This is one of our all time favorite restaurants. The service is great, the ambience of eating right on the water is amazing, and the food is spectacular! This was our second time here after an initial visit last year and we loved it even more the second time. They have an incredible menu with tons of options, and lots of wonderful side dishes that make for great appetizers as well. Our favorites were the carrots (must try!) and crispy cider Brussels sprouts. The burrata was amazing as well. The chicken dish is delicious and has so many great flavors/spices. My husband did the swordfish and loved it. Overall, another fantastic meal. We will definitely be back again and again! read more

COBALT continues to impress us with their qualities of food, service and ambiance! We were there for Cobalt's Sunday Brunch last weekend to celebrate a family members' birthday... and Cobalt did not disappoint! We were seated outside to enjoy the scenery and breezes... absolutely perfect! The Eggs Benedict was delicious and the Coconut French Bread was to die for!!! Grand kudos to Cobalt for being so consistently AMAZING!!! read more

The setting is outstanding -- beautiful space, great staff, and incredible views. Unfortunately, the food doesn't live up to the price point. Two of us ordered the scallops, and they arrived lukewarm, undersized, and lacking the caramelization that was promised. Flavor was just average. My wife felt the salmon was nothing special, and my friend said the filet was only okay. With the location, reputation, and expectations, this should've been a place I'd rave about to visiting friends and family -- but based on this experience, I won't be recommending it. read more

My God. We just had father's day dinner at your restaurant and it was horrible. I'm embarrassed that I took my family there. 'Father's Day Grill-Out Dinner' had zero specials and nothing was grilled out or fun. I ordered a $68 steak that was unedibly tough. The Mac n cheese was so bland that I wondered why you even added cheese. The oysters were not fresh. The service wasn't bad but the $700 bill for six people did not measure up to the food quality at that price level. The view is great but please step up your food or I will never eat here again. There are too many restaurants in the area that are far better. I could have gone to Darios or Touhy's or the Tides just to name a few for instance. We went to Cobalt because we were told there was a new chef that was 'creating' something special' read more

We didn't know Cobalt was located in the Kimpton Vero Beach Hotel. Besides the name on the door, we didn't see any signs guiding us where to go. Once you enter the building, take the stairs to your right and turn left at the top of the stairs. We were greeted by friendly faces and was seated at a table with a nice view. Service was excellent. Besides the whipped potatoes being underseasoned, everything else tasted good. I feel the prices are high for what you get. Perhaps we are paying for the view and ambience. The only thing we didn't care for, was coming upon a dog as we were trying to leave. It was on a leash and was walking back and forth blocking our exit. I have nothing against dogs, but this is a restaurant and it was clearly not a service animal. read more

We love every brunch we have had here as well as the filets are absolutely wonderful. Scallops as well! The service is wonderful!

I really can't vouch for food because I didn't eat any. I came with a friend to sit out by the fire pits, there are three at least, and have a glass of wine. It was the first warmer evening we'd had in a while. The ocean was rocking, the moon was full, the night sky clear and it was just a little shy of perfection. Recommend for sure, the drink prices are pretty much what you would expect for upscale. read more

It has all that make it a great & special restaurant. You won't be disappointed for a Vero Beach fine dining restaurant.

Food was amazingly! The filet was cooked perfectly and we had the crab cake with asparagus add on. The wilted spinach salad was the best I've ever had and the Brussels sprouts were perfection! Our server was delightful. This is a must repeat when we're back in town!! read more

Basically, Cobalt is disappointing. It was recommended by a friend and my business associate brought me here (I think because I had mentioned the name). I am absolutely not offended by expensive restaurants but if you are going to charge premium prices, you should offer premium quality food and atmosphere. Cobalt offered neither. I do have to say that our server did an excellent job. His descriptions of the wines made my selection much easier. I wish I could remember his name but it started with a W. Between the 3 of us, we had 2 entrees, a Caesar salad, a bowl of lobster bisque and one glass of wine. The bill came to $216 before tip. The Caesar salad tasted nothing at all like a Caesar salad and had huge overcooked croutons that could cut your mouth if you could actually get one in it. I'm not sure what it even tasted similar to. My swordfish was somewhat dry and could have used more of the blistered tomato topping that it came with. My friend didn't say anything about his lobster bisque but I believe he would have if it was outstanding. The restaurant was fairly loud and this was later in the evening when it wasn't terribly full. The atmosphere was very average. There was nothing really attractive about any of it. I included a slight view of the table and silverware to give you a feel for the look. Not impressive at all. It's unlikely that I'll be back but you never know. read more

Let's start with the food. Considering the high cost, which is comparable to very high end steak houses, the quality of the food just doesn't measure up. Not even close. My oysters were ok. (They were from Virginia). My steak was cooked to my liking temperature wise, but came out cold. Again, food was just ok. Just not worth the price. Also, the food took extremely long to come out despite the restaurant not being full. I'll give it two stars bc the service was great. The lady that took care of us was great. She was extremely nice and very attentive. read more

Went to Cobalts for a late lunch early dinner type of deal tail end of happy hour. The drinks were great red punch delicious. The waiter was from NYC and was a gracious host. The view of the water is unmatched as there are no other restaurants down A1A towards the inlet so I recommend the walk on the beach after a visit to Cobalts. read more

For $200 for two people, I expect a lot more than what we received. Service was good but kitchen was weak. Ordered skirt steak medium well done. It came rare and the interior cold. Sent it back and it returned still rare and cold. Roasted Brussel sprouts were burned on outside and mushy on inside. Carrots wit honey were overcooked and mushy. Sorry, but food was really mediocre. Don't bother unless you are stuck. read more

I had the absolute worst dining experience ever. We ordered and waited an hour for food. Food only came out when I got up to find "manager". He was useless. Why did we wait an hour, you ask? Because our waiter disappeared. Food came out-ice cold. Expensive steak and seafood. Manager offered to have another meal cooked, but after waiting an hour, that was a ridiculous offer. He removed the steaks and the inedible grilled chicken Caesar salad , but offered no discount on the other three ice cold meals. The waiter finally showed back up, no apology, and started handing out dessert menus! This restaurant in in a hotel, so I can see why they don't care about service, but we live locally and will never recommend this place. I have reached out to the General Manager, but after 3 weeks, it's clear I will not hear from him. After the food removed the ticket was still over $700 read more

It's been a couple of years since we last dined here. We ate dinner outside which was nice. The service was very good. Our waiter constantly checked on us and was very friendly. However, the food here is just ok. Many things overcooked (octopus, hamburgers...)and over-salted (calamari, fries...). These items were essentially inedible. The waiter did the right thing and took off the bill. The portions were decent but the prices do not reflect the quality. It's convenient when staying at the hotel but don't think I'll rush to diner here again. read more

A fools trap with a fake menu. Ambience good. Service good. Food - what's a nasty surprise. $300 poorly spent "Truffle" tagliatelle served with chicken and spinach. Nothing to do with truffles. Fake menu. "Wagyu" Coullette. Fake picanha from Publix. Truffle Carpaccio - minute. Someone is very creative with the menu as has faked half of the things that are on the menu for people who don't know better. Never again. Good luck to my fellow foodies. read more
