There seem to be a lot of management changes recently, maybe that has a lot to do with the sometimes poor service and food inconsistency. Also the salads seem to be of different presentation and size.

Great example of inconsistency: Shrimp cakes, Ricotta Pancakes and size of Omelets. The food has many times exceeded our expectations and than when we would come back we were disappointed in taste and presentation of the food we previously had. There where days when we have received excellent service and food, other visits have resulted in very poor service with inattentive and lazy wait staff who seem to be there with no heart and we could tell that they really didn't want to be in the restaurant business. While the restaurant is probably the best in Vero Beach with its stunning ocean views, it is mostly lacking in consistency of service & food. We visit the Cobalt Lounge quiet often, but the experience is always different. The view is of course wonderful, and I really liked the decor of the inside restaurant as well. Our server was Tom, and he was one of the best waiters I have ever encountered. We had the plantains and the chocolate cake, both of which were accompanied by delicious home-made ice cream. The Tuna Crudo we had to start was less exciting-perfectly acceptable but not thrilling & needing a bit of salt-and the farm greens salad was the same.

Another entree was the swordfish which was perfectly cooked and seasoned-so moist and tender. But the seared Tuna Steak was also excellent, with the port wine reduction contributing beautifully to the whole. I soaked every bit up with some very nice warm bread. For my taste, the Goat Cheese Gnudi was the best-very delicately flavored and the broth was phenomenal. Had dinner here for the first time last night and thoroughly enjoyed it.
