It was a disaster because they don't allow groups to have individual checks. We had a large party with about 3 families. The waiter refused to give us the ability to have separate checks and pay separetly at the end. OF course when the time came to close the bill, it was awful. Then they claimed at the end that we owed them an additional $65. Once we got home we carefully looked at the bill. They charged a $70 restaurant service charge (which now we are assuming was a tip) and $4 a culinary service charge. We all put in for the extra tip at the time we settled the bill and two members paid cash. At the end of the day we called the manager and he said "it is what it is" so technacally, the waitress and the restaurant got a $135 tip. Totally unacceptable..I won't go back to this establishment.

Other than $18 for a six ounce glass of wine it was good. The smash burgers are a little pricey but they are very good, as are the fries.

Heaton’s is located in the Vero Beach Hotel & Spa and it overlooks the ocean. The view is absolutely beautiful. The tuna appetizer was delicious and made to perfection. I had salmon for lunch and it was a little on the small side- but cooked the way I like it. I highly recommend the place and tell my friends and family.
Heaton's - Vero BeachResponded on October 15, 2026
Thank you for the kind review. We are delighted that you enjoyed the ocean view and that the tuna appetizer was made to perfection. We are glad your salmon was cooked the way you like, and we appreciate the note about the portion size. We are grateful that you recommend Heaton’s to your friends and family!

Tuna nachos & turkey club were both good. The grilled octopus was good but needed to be ‘cleaned’ a little better and grilled perhaps another minute or so. The flourless chocolate cake is rich and delicious and perfect for sharing. Outdoor covered seating with lovely ocean views!
Heaton's - Vero BeachResponded on October 13, 2026
Thank you for visiting and taking the time to leave a thoughtful review. We are glad the tuna nachos and turkey club hit the mark. We appreciate the note about the grilled octopus—glad it tasted good, thank you for mentioning it could use a bit more cleaning and a touch more time on the grill. It’s great to hear the flourless chocolate cake was rich and perfect for sharing, and that you enjoyed the covered outdoor seating and ocean views. We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again!

Great spot to eat by the water. Nice view - although outside and it can be hot. The food is simply o.k. Great for experience, not great on food quality.

Beautiful location…right on the ocean. It’s all outdoors so if you don’t like the outdoors, go somewhere else. The service was outstanding and the food good but it’s WAY overpriced. A Caesar salad with chicken was almost $30. Again, it was a good salad but lettuce and croutons with small serving of chicken was not worth $30. We didn’t realize it was part of the resort so that explained the prices. For a casual waterfront dinner, we’ll probably go somewhere else.
Heaton's - Vero BeachResponded on August 31, 2026
Thank you for visiting and sharing your thoughts. We are glad you enjoyed the oceanfront setting and that the service and food were highlights. We understand that the Caesar salad price felt high, especially for a casual waterfront meal. We appreciate you calling that out, and we hope you might consider stopping by again if you are in the area.

The oceanfront location is gorgeous and service was good but food was not great. The lettuce in Caesar Salad was limp and the croutons were stale. We both had fish (swordfish and grouper) which was barely average. I would return for oceanfront setting but only order a burger and fries.

We really enjoyed Heatons. Had front row seats to the ocean while a huge thunderstorm passed overhead. The food was delicious. The server was excellent. The only negative was the condition of the restroom. It was filthy and in serious disrepair.

Thank you for choosing Heatons during that storm. We’re glad you enjoyed the front-row ocean view and that the food and service hit the mark. We are sorry the restroom was filthy and in disrepair. We appreciate you letting us know about that and hope the overall visit brings you back soon.
