Loving the new spot in my town! Tables by the water, beautiful sunshine, delicious food and mimosas, bottomless – satisfying. We had Raquel as our server, good knowledge about the menu and gave us some recommendations, the glasses were never empty and we were double checked by her and another server Ashley, to make sure we are enjoying our experience. Even decided to have a dessert after because both of them were “selling” the lava cake so well.

Great food, attentive server “Stephanie” made the dining experience enjoyable. We sat upstairs in the Tiki Room. The views to the West were phenomenal. The lobster dinner was delicious. U-10 Scallops were also a hit at our table. Can’t wait to go back!

Great time for Valentines Day with my lovely. We tried a place before and didn’t even get a drink for 25 mins. After getting one and being there for another 4t mins and not ordering, Tradewinds saved the day. Got a drink within 10 mins of sitting, food within 30 mins and everything was top notch, will definitely be back. Our server was on point, cant wait to go back.

The outdoor area has a great atmosphere, but the experience was disappointing, especially given the prices. Service seemed disorganized, with food going to the wrong tables or not arriving at all in some cases. The table next to us ordered a side of Roasted Mixed Mushrooms, which didn’t come out with their entrees, so it was removed from their bill.
As for the food, most items were underwhelming:
• Oysters on the Half Shell — 7.5/10
• Crispy Crab Cakes — 5.5/10; my girlfriend thought they tasted like imitation crab
• 41 Double Smash Burger — 5/10; fairly bland, though the truffle fries were good
• Asparagus — 2/10; very little flavor, and the orange zest didn’t add much
Drinks:
• DFT Sandy Wheat (draft) — 7/10; good flavor, though served with no head
• Fire & Lime cocktail — 5.5/10; nothing particularly memorable
Overall, the setting is nice, but the service issues and average food made it hard to justify the cost. The atmosphere brings this up to a 3-star experience; otherwise, it would be closer to 2 stars.

It was my first time here and I was presently surprised. I had a lobster roll which had plenty of lobster in it and my husband had a smash burger. He said his was excellent and so was my lobster roll. Our waiter, I think his name was Blake, was extremely nice and helpful. There are 2 stories, we chose to sit outside by the water. The atmosphere was great. It was a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for.

This was our first time trying this out.And we were pretty impressed. Service was unbelievably great… Nice relaxing environment good food.. the other thing was, on the ribei.It said grilled onions, and it was literally one to two slices of an onion, and that was it..
The only thing and it was very minor was when we made reservations online.It asked if we were celebrating a special event, and we were, it was our Wedding Anniversary. We were talking with our server and even mentioned it to her. Usually when you mention something like this, they bring you out a piece of cake or a scoop of ice cream, something small, something thoughtful from the restaurant. But that didn’t happen, and that was just a little disappointing.Especially after spending over $200 .

My new favorite place to eat in vero! It was super busy when we arrived but I can totally see why because the food is amazing. Sat by the water on the dock and the views were great and every staff member we interacted with was super attentive and helpful. I have been talking about this place all week to everyone I know and cannot recommend it enough!

My family and I had the best time at Tradewinds 41 tonight. Our waiter was fantastic from start to finish, really attentive and easy to talk to. The food was excellent and the whole place has this great mix of elegant dining with a fun sports bar feel throughout.
The upstairs tiki seating was absolutely beautiful. You can tell they paid close attention to every detail. Even the landscaping stood out. They truly went all out creating this place.
Fantastic job to Tim Gerard for giving Vero a new spot that feels special. We highly recommend it and we will definitely be back again and again.

This place is lovely. Their golf cart service came and picked me up from the overflow lot and took me right to the door.
We ordered the lobster tempura and split the ribeye. Both were seriously amazing! We were pleasantly surprised since this place just opened.

One of the most magical incredible dining experiences in Vero Beach, Florida. I believe Tradewinds. 41 has added a Sunday brunch. That is presumably. Thank you so much in keeping with the restaurant itself I’m sure unbelievable !
