Chive - Vero Beach

We arrived on a Sunday at 12:15pm. Sat at the bar. We each ordered a beef burrito. Nothing special. So many of the patrons were receiving their food prior to us. And they arrived after us! At 12:45 I asked about our food. The response was “they are busy”. Ok…we get it. 1pm!! Where is our burrito? Oh?! They are just making it now!! A couple next to us received their food late as well. But they came in way after us. And their wait time was minimal compared. The hostess at the bar refunded their food!! They did enjoy some of their meal and the rest was boxed to go. Our meat in the burrito was cold. They did not grill the outside of the tortilla, which would have been a great addition

Awesome time at Chive the other night. We stopped in for just a couple drinks and Jay was our bartender. Super attentive and professional. Good job everyone.

This place has an unusual set up in the way you order. If you sit at the bar, you order from the bartender, but if you sit at a table, you must order at the counter. The menu is extensive, the selections are unique, but the quality of the food seemed about the same as other places in Vero Beach. There were 5 or maybe even 6 food prep counter staff, mostly just standing around in plain view. Some of them ran the prepared food to the bar the tables, so that made it even weirder that they didn't just have waitstaff to take orders at the table. But all the staff were fun friendly seemed to enjoy their work. I found it very odd that I had to get up to go to the bar to get something to drink, in doing so, I created 2 separate bills one for the bar one for the food. It was especially inconvenient for our 2nd round of drinks, as the bar was super busy I had to wait in a crowd for drink service while my food sat on the table. By the time I returned with our drinks, my friends were finished with their meals my food was cold. We did learn that the outside seating area is both smoker friendly pet friendly, which is appealing to us; but realistically, we probably won't return here, just because their service set up isn't really what we want in a restaurant.

Lisa is amazing. Great food and specials. Will definitely be back.

One of the best places on the Treasure Coast! Order the ninja bowl, you won't regret it
