Restaurant is in a house, rooms are small--but nice. No view of anything. Dinner was better than average,,,with an expensive price tag. Much finer dining available in Vero Beach for the price.

No visit to Vero complete without visiting the Tides. Food is amazing and "A" for presentation! Fried green tomatoes won't disappoint. Joni is our favorite among the exceptional wait staff

Fancy food, pricey and white table cloths. Service could have been more attentive. A group of 8 at an early bird dinner maybe wasn't as important as the regular dinner crowd. I have been in more comfortable restaurants for dinner and an enjoyable evening with guests.

We had read the good reviews on Tides and went there for dinner last night. We had Kenny who was previously mentioned in another review and he was a wonderful waiter. Very friendly and wanting to please. I found the decor nice for a beachy type restaurant. If you were able to get a table outside it was very pretty.... More

After researching and looking for good, fresh, seasonal cuisine, with European influence to celebrate an important birthday, we tried the Tides. What a mistake. Don't believe everything you read. I have never had Rutabaga served with risotto in April. Note, this was a special of the day. Service good but no better than Red Lobster. A white tablecloth does not... More

First of all, let me say that the food at The Tides was all very good, every dish. The reason that my overall rating wasn't higher is that everything else was pretty average. A fine dining experience involves other elements besides the food, such as the room, service, presentation of the dishes, etc. All of those elements were not particularly... More

Great little restaurant. The service was great, not snobby, but relaxed beach-style elegant dining. Kenny, our server, who noted that he "loved his job", clearly does, he was knowledgeable, accommodating, and really a great waiter. I had an amazing crispy half-duck on his recommendation, and it was possibly the best duck I've ever eaten. Salads were also great. My wife... More

The Tides was a wonderful restaurant. The appetizers, crab cakes, were wonderful with little filler just crabmeat. The entress, steak and fish were cooked to perfection and the desserts, various creme brulee's and the sticky pudding, were simply delicious. Service was outstanding but not overbearing. A little bit more formal than other Vero Beach restaurants and a bit pricier but... More
