"From 2004 2014, we probably dined at Blackfins every summer we visited Vero Beach, at least 10 12 times, and we always enjoyed our dining experience. So, this was our first visit in the last 10 years, and we were looking forward to it. It wasn 't very busy, so we were seated immediately, and our server was very friendly and attentive. For starters, three of us had the crab soup as well as an order of conch fritters, and I had a half dozen oysters and an IPA beer. The soup, the oysters, and the IPA were all very good while the fritters were just OK. The sauce which came with the fritters was tasty, but we wished the fritters had more conch and less bread in them. For entrees, we had swordfish, the Treasure Trio, jerk chicken, and a single crabcake dinner. The crabcake was ok, but would 've been better with more crab and less filler. The chicken was a bit dry. The swordfish was tasty, but the portion was quite small, about the size and thickness of a small slice of white bread. It was only $26, but I 'd have gladly paid $5 10 more for a larger portion. Also, three of us ordered the baked potato as one of our sides the potatoes looked small, shriveled, dried out, and mostly brown inside. They were neither warm or hot and tasted worse than they looked. My son 's potato was loaded with a handful of bacon bits which did nothing to make it close to edible. It 's hard to believe that the chef allowed these potatoes to leave the kitchen. My wife smartly refused to try to eat her potatoes and asked our server to bring her freanch fries instead which she did. My disproportionately large coleslaw side which was nearly twice the size of my swordfish was tasty while my wife 's smaller coleslaw portion that came with her crabcake was tasteless as if the kitchen forgot to add dressing to it. Overall, our dining experience was a bit of a letdown."
