    Shrimp Scampi

    Wow Monday night perfection. Starting with the service and the great personality from our sever Rene we had a great time. The food was perfect grouper fingers and seafood scampi tasted amazing. I even got more grouper fingers to go and the place was really cool with great old rock 'n' roll music played at a perfect volume.

    There's just something about this place that makes me keep coming back. We always sit at the bar and the bartenders are absolutely fabulous. Good conversation, excellent drinks, and you can eat from the full menu at the bar as well. All of the customers that come in are friendly and you walk out with new friends each time. It's one of our go-to spots for a late night.

    Husband made reservations for our three year anniversary. I've passed this place so many times and never been in. It's very small and intimate with a wall in the middle so it does break up the room. We were seated by the window, which was a perfect people watching spot. Our waitress was so sweet and knowledgeable. We started off with a dirty martini and an old-fashioned. No complaints, were made just right. Appetizers consist of a side of bread and we ordered conch cakes. Bread- I love the fact the butter was melted to spread a lot easier, and it had a side of oil to dip in. 10/10 Conch cakes- came with two very large cakes. The sauce on top completed this dish, hands-down. Great flavor, gray texture, overall great starter dish. 10/10 Seafood pasta- the waitress lit up when I ordered this dish since she says it's her favorite. That is always a good sign. The dish has a variety of different seafood and also sausage. Good size portion, great flavor, and just overall great combination. 9/10 Crab stuffed shrimp- my husband very much enjoyed this dish. Shrimp and crab is always a good combination. 9/10 Overall, this was a great choice that my husband picked to spend our three year anniversary at.

    Bread was good

    Visited here tonight, it was a great experience. I had the salmon from the specials menu (it was over squash with rice and green beans), throughly enjoyed it. The service was good, bo complaints. It's a comfortable pub atmosphere. I do recommend you try this place.

    Great soup

    What a fun place, I'll be honest we were strolling in downtown Florida saw the name and said, hey, that sounds cool, let's check them out. We sat at the bar and made it for happy hour (which is a treat for a transplant Hoosier like me, since we are not allowed drink happy hours) The staff was very welcoming, I ended up having a lemon drop basil martini, that was refreshing, sweet and delicious. To eat I split an order of fresh and tasty calamari, I was impressed by how well it was cooked and seasoned. Can't wait to get here again when I am back in Florida, check this location out if you have the chance!

    Smoky old fashion and dirty martini with blue cheese olives.

It has a sweet start but its such a great tasting beer. I totally recommend! Our server was attentive and checked up on us several times and even struck conversation. It was nice! It's not too loud here. We usually sit in the bar area and it's pretty chill. The only thing that you get to hear is the kitchen since it's nearby but other than that, nothing too crazy. This place might not be for most people but I highly recommend to stop by and at least try their beer and loaded tots!

There is only 1 girl that gets my orders right and makes sure I leave with my sauce and whatnot Anyways it's ridiculous that they use AI it makes me not want to eat here you can't even call a human on the phone to ask a question The interior is nice, the food is a bit pricey I like all of that bourbon they have on the wall it looks really nice and definitely brings a vibe to the place I don't know if wait staff is always dismissive or if they short staff their crew here but I don't know how to feel about this place I think if I were to come on a busy day (like I did on Labor Day) you are going to be waiting an hour for your food just like I did the restaurant wasn't too full but if you want a quick meal this isn't the place to go- I've had weird experiences at this place -honestly I don't know how to feel about it service wise.. But the food is decent enough for me to come back it's really affordable for me to get the appetizer I will have to try more food and give them another review in the future

Took forever once seated to get food or any type of service. Eventually went to the bar to get a refill of drinks along with others in our crew. The menu is an absolute joke as there is a lot of fill on what they serve you but both my wife I chose the burger as it was the most likely to interpret what I'm ordering. One it came after about an 1 -1 1/2 hours the burger was ok and fry's looked like it was fried in old oil. They were cold and for the money it was not worth it. I think a Macdonald Big Mac would have tasted better at a fraction of the cost. $27 for a burger, cold fries and a small milk shake which I couldn't understand that addition. While sitting at the table I am getting dripped on by the AC duct as that portion is in front of the door opening and with humid air coming in hitting that cold duct it was condensation and dripping on the patrons. In this case me. The server was terrible in my opinion and didn't really cater to many of our needs but the restaurant feels obligated to charge 20% gratuities of 6 people or more. Now I understand that concept as foreign people don't tip like in their country or none at all but that is where the problem is. If a server is good or bad they still are get their tip and in this case there was no incentive for good service. If I am paying $27 for a burger and fries that server better attend to my needs quickly and efficiently. Not sure if I ever will return to this restaurant as it left a bad taste. I usually go by the baseball rule 1 2 3 strikes your out but what brought me over to 3 strikes is the stupid menu and pricing. I think I will make my own dinner at home and bring it to the causeway for a better view and cheaper food and much better food.

It was a bit empty for a Saturday evening. No problem grabbing a table inside. Service was good as Andy was attentive to our needs. The "kids" were hungry and their ordering showed. Several dogs, chili fries and then main entrees. We were pleased with the dogs. They were tasty. The chili fries didn't last long either. Soon, our entrees came. I had the blackened shrimp with 2 sides, beans and rice. Pretty tasty with a little zing. My daughter ordered the ribs. Definitely fall off the bone delicious. Her BF got buffalo chicken tenders while my son got the 1/2lb cheese burger. As a group, we had plenty of food. The kids enjoyed theirs and my daughter had leftovers for another meal. Dune Dog is a good place to go for a good meal and good service.

Their wings were solid, but I didn't taste much Nashville hot seasoning, despite ordering it and being told that it was that. It was more a tasty buffalo sauce than anything else. Still, I enjoyed them with the bleu cheese, even though they came first with ranch, which I despise. Don't eat ranch. It is the devil. The brewery taproom is a good spot to hang out and watch sports, have a beer or two, while noshing on some food. Gluten-free-wise, they do offer spirit cocktails, which is nice. But food-wise, it's limited to salads and tacos if you order them with the corn tortillas. Just make sure nothing on the menu description says "fried". My wife enjoyed her salad, so that was a plus. Anyway, Ocean Republic is a solid brewery hangout on US 1 if you're in Stuart or passing along, singing a song, without banging a gong.

The onion rings were cold and hard as a rock. Sent the onion rings back. The waitress asked if we wanted a fresh order and we said yes. I'm pretty sure the cook threw the same onion rings back into the fryer and sent them back to us. They were horrible! Told the waitress the onion rings were horrible, so she took it of the bill, but she had an attitude the rest of the night - took a drink order and kind os slammed the bottles on the table.
