We were a party of 10. We weren't rushed, the orders were correct and we all enjoyed our cocktails, apps and main meal. Even the checks were correct! Quintessential beach restaurant- much enjoyed

Blackened Mahi fish tacos and the taco bowl with Mahi were amazing! Great service and great views of the Indian River.

Alas, I wish I had read the reviews before ordering. The Treasured Trio ($30+) was disappointing at best. I feel totally robbed!The fish I was served did not resemble the description, 2, scallops, 2 shrimp and very bland fish. The mixed veggies reminded me of school lunch veggies ☹️? bland and waaaaay over cooked (can you burn boiled veggies?). Salad was served after the meal, which ended up working in my favor since the veggies were not edible, I put the fish on my salad. The fried food and the tacos that my dinner companions served was pretty good! Thank goodness! I had been looking forward to dinner here, especially after reading the Hiram story. So disappointing!

Who doesn’t like Captain Hiram’s?! It’s a great piece of Florida and I hope it stays forever!
Our window table couldn't have been better with the panoramic view of the ICW and the ambience of the nearby boats. Entertainment provided by the busy pelicans. The sun shone, balmy breeze wafted through the restaurant and the waitress was friendly and attentive. We did not have to wait long for our lunchtime meal to arrive which was of an excellent standard. It was perfection.

Blackfins is the amazing seafood restaurant at the Capt Hirams complex in Sebastan, Florida. Easy access from Route 1 and worth a diversion from A1A and I-95. Food is Florida fresh seafood based and delicious! Service is friendly! Waterside atmosphere is cool and casual and hard-to-beat. Amazing views! Parking can seem tight nearby, but is available in multiple large Hiram-owned lots. It's worth it to circle for a spot. I look forward to returning! Highly recommended.

We started with barely warm onion rings that came out in 1 min and decent conch fritters. Entrees were quick items like tuna salad and soups which came out before we could even finish our apps (no concept of courses or just had a hot date later) Couldn't send onion rings back before we lost interest because server only came back after we were half way done with entrees.Ahi Tuna salad needs the dressing tossed because all the dressing is globbed on the tuna and it didn't come with the sesame noodles. I couldn't ask for more dressing because I also asked for waters, and the server turned away to the other table before I could finish my compound sentence. I rather not chase them down.Spicy cucumber margarita was good. Chowder and my addon fried shrimp were good. Definitely didn't want dessrt or another round of drinks.I don't do reviews but that was just bizarrely bad from a place my parents semi-frequent. Drive-by service with a smile and bad food to okay.Edit:onion rings came out in 1 minute barely warm and some pieces were burnt. How?

Very enjoyable place to eat great seafood. Very fresh mussels and grouper. Staff were all very kind and attentive. Have eaten here many times. It has never disappointed us yet! Keep up the good food, environment and friendly staff.

Setting is calm and relaxing. Food is good but the mixed drinks were weak and the Mango Margarita was bland and tasted like watered down lemonade. The sides with the meals are very limited in choice. Need to add a signature side such as house made chips to their menu. All in all still enjoyable overall.

I was not impressed with my dinner at all. For over $30 I was expecting more than just 2 shrimp, 2 scallops, and a small piece of swordfish. The rice was bland and so was the slaw. Wasn’t even plated nice at all either. I go here every time I visit family in FL and I was so disappointed. I guess when I go back next year I’ll give it another try. Wasn’t what I remember from last time I was there. Service was good though and atmosphere was outstanding like I remember though.
the food is good, sometimes it's not cooked enough.

We are totally sold out on this restaurant! It's our go-to spot for whenever we eat out in Vero/Sebastian. Servers are absolutely outstanding, knowledgeable, pleasant, and attentive. Food is great - so many options, including fresh catch of the day. One recommendation from us (with grandkids) is to add a shrimp option to the kids' menu.

Waited over an hour for a table to be told that food would take an hour. No thanks

Went here for lunch on a weekday and it was packed! Waited a few minutes for outdoor seating, but it was worth it. Food was excellent, albeit pricey. Waitress was incredibly attentive and friendly. Will go again!
Top notch!! Service was amazing. Our waitress was very attentive. We had two Tito‘s berry lemonade, which was very tasty. We had the buffalo snapper bites for appetizers, which were amazing. And then for dinner, we had the seafood trio and mahi tacos, and shrimp skewers.... This was the best paying for our buck and we went to a few other restaurants this trip, and this was cheaper, but so much more delicious. And we love the ambience. Casual... Loved it
