Think of…read morean eclectic band rolling into your backyard--close enough to smell the sweat, the weed, and the realness of live music. No pool house... but a great bar that keeps the good times flowing. Grab a lawn chair, a picnic bench, heck--pull up an empty keg if you have to. It's retro, quirky, perfectly imperfect, and totally awesome. No giant stadium distance, no pretension--just musicians and music lovers sharing the same little patch of earth. You MIGHT see bands like: * The Flamingo Insurance Adjusters * Port St. Lucie Sock Drawer Orchestra * Josh & the Couchlandia Couch Cushions * Rotary's Midnight Funnel Cake Rebellion * The Sweaty Tiki Philosophers * Big Brother & the Little Noise Makers It's weird, it's wonderful, and it's exactly what live music should be. Perfect spot for a Rotary crew night out--or a fun BBBS-friendly show when the lineup fits.

Plenty of parking nearby, whether street, an empty field, or a lot around the corner. The pizza vendor near the front was our first stop and it was pretty damn tasty! Lots of seating and tables for people to sit and enjoy the music, plus a bar full of craft beers. Due to my bad knee, this is where I ended up sitting and the view was great. My bartender Tom was fast, efficient, friendly, and guided me toward a new sour I'd never tried before but loved.

We started out with a chocolate martini & a Whispering Angel Rose. Both were refreshing and very celebratory for my friends birthday. Since it was lunch, we went straight to entrees. My husband had the Strawberry Field salad with shrimp. Beautifully crisp and delicious. The shrimp were cooked perfectly even if the salad should have had less dressing. The birthday girl had the short rib grilled cheese which looked exactly like the pictures. She managed to eat the whole thing. I had the steamed clams. The presentation was totally unexpected. It had a pizza dough topper that was puffed up with the clams, linguica & broth nice and steamy underneath. It was an amazing preparation and the dough helped tame some of the spiciness from the linguica. We all said we would come back. I would give this restaurant a solid 4.5 stars as the refill of our water was a big sluggish. Since you cannot rate in 1/2 star increments, I gave it a 5.

On our way home from Orlando, we decided to make a lunch stop in Stuart and chose Waterfront. My…read morehusband thought he knew the place, but it turned out he was thinking of somewhere else. It ended up being a great find! The restaurant is spacious with huge windows overlooking the water, which I absolutely loved. It was much too hot to sit outside, so we enjoyed the view from an inside table. We decided to split the steamed clams (without the sausage) and a lobster bisque for lunch. Our server, Sydney, was friendly, helpful, and made sure we had everything we needed. The clams were served inside a bread-like pastry. My husband especially enjoyed that part, while I skipped the bread and dug right into the clams--they were fresh and delicious. The lobster bisque was rich, flavorful, and just as good. One unexpected bit of entertainment came from the couple seated next to us. It sounded like they were on a first date, and while I certainly wasn't trying to eavesdrop, they were talking so loudly it was impossible not to overhear! They seemed to be having a wonderful time, and it added a lighthearted touch to our lunch. Hope springs eternal! Overall, I was very happy with both our meal and the beautiful waterfront setting. I'd definitely stop here again the next time we're passing through Stuart. The only thing that gave me pause was the dinner menu, which looked a bit pricey, but for lunch this was a very enjoyable stop. You don't need a reservation for lunch so that was a plus. Sometimes you just want to go with the flow, and that is just what we did!

If you are a beer drinker and love stouts, give their Imperial Stout a go. 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!
