TIDES – Seafood
Cardinal Drive, a plain building, and a kitchen that does not trade on the view. The Tides cooks a New American menu anchored in what comes off the local boats — potato-crusted grouper, pan-seared pompano, scallops, crab cakes — with a peppercorn-crusted filet, sweet tea brined pork chop and veal scallopini for the rest of the table. The chef works the room, which diners mention as often as any dish. What comes up again and again is the service: attentive, unhurried, quietly professional. A special-occasion room in Vero Beach that does not need to announce itself.
