Buffalo Chicken Flatbread
Anthony S.

Jess and Shaughn were awesome! Great food and prices. Can't beat happy hour and best place to watch football in Stuart! Come visit. You won't be disappointed. Best TV's in town to watch all the games and the vibe is great. Bring the crew and have a ball!

Great lunch specials and service. It's my first visit and I'm hooked.

A great experience. Our swordfish was cooked perfectly. And the lemon/garlic sauce was a perfect addition. The service was fantastic. J.Mivhael's is super casual with a big outdoor patio. The indoor dining room is somewhere between old school and beachy casual. There's a full bar in both places. Totally enjoyed our lunch. Looking forward to going again.

Chicken Tenders - yum!
Deb O.

We stopped in to watch an early NFL Sunday game and we were impressed with the number of TV's surrounding the whole restaurant. The interaction with other patrons was fun. They had 3 menus to choose from: Brunch, NFL Football specials and their Regular Menu. We chose a Breakfast Burrito, Chicken Tenders and a Bowl of Chili. All large servings and tasty. The Bloody Mary's and Screw ups were perfectly made and a great price! We truly appreciated the awesome service. We will continue to add this restaurant to our rotation.

Swirly fries

We had a great experience at J. Michael's Tavern, and our server Frank was absolutely wonderful--friendly, attentive, and made the whole meal even better. We started with the pepperoni pizza bites, which were pepperoni and cheese rolled in puff pastry and served with marinara. Such a fun and delicious appetizer! For lunch, we ordered the wings, and wow--they were outstanding. We tried a mix of honey habanero with sweet Thai chili and BBQ. Hands down some of the best wings around (according to my son, the best so far!). I had the Beef on Weck--thinly sliced roast beef on a Kimmelweck roll with horseradish and au jus--and chose sweet potato fries as my side. Everything was excellent and full of flavor. J. Michael's Tavern is a bit tucked away in the back of the plaza with Park Avenue & Grill, but it's absolutely worth finding. We'll definitely be back! The owners really need to get the word out about this place--so many great weekly specials that people don't even know about! Monday: Wings for just $.75 Wednesday: All-you-can-eat tacos Those are just a couple of the weekly deals, and they're hard to beat. Amazing food, great service, and unbeatable specials--this spot deserves way more buzz!

Conch Cakes

Swampy's 5-Tail Review: J Michael's Tavern & Grille - Stuart, FL A fresh bite in town and we're already hooked! Veronica, Vic, and everyone's favorite food-lovin' reptile, Swampy, swung by the newly opened J Michael's Tavern & Grille in Stuart--and let's just say, it was a tail-waggin' good time. First up, the chicken wings--crispy, saucy, and so good, Swampy almost skipped the napkin (okay, definitely did). But the real catch? The conch cakes. Packed with actual conch (none of that mystery filler), they were flavorful, fresh, and Florida-approved. Yum yum... chomp chomp! The custom drink menu tempted us right off the dock. Margarita for Veronica Wine for Vic And of course, Swampy slurped down his signature Swamp Water. ‍ Our bartender? Friendly, fast, and on top of their game. Being new, the place still has a few opening-week kinks to smooth out--but the food's already firing on all burners. Final Verdict: 4.5 outta 5 Gator Tails (That last tail's twitching... one more trip might do it!)

Upstairs tv room.

We stoped in for our first time Sunday, November 23rd to grab a meal and watch the KC Chiefs game. We were surprised about how large a place it was and how many TV's they had! I don't recall our waiters name but he was from New Jersey. He was friendly and attentive. We ordered a large pretzel for an appetizer. My husband ordered a french dip due to me reading a review that it was the best someone had! I ordered a schnitzel sandwich. First of all all of f our food came out together. The pretzel was luke warm and served with a very tiny cup of beer cheese. We were supposed to get spicy mustard but it was never brought to our table. My schnitzel sandwich was good. It came with a huge portion of potato salad that was very good. The French dip was very tough. The meat had been cut incorrectly. It came with these scoop type fries. They were just ok. We did tell our waiter how tough the meat in the French dip was. He blamed it on them being so busy due to the football games. Totally had nothing to do with it. He didn't really apologize or offer any discount. He just suggested we come back when they aren't so busy! We also got charged for another very tiny cup of beer cheese to finish the pretzel off and it took along time to get. We probably will not return.

Excellent service

They had amazing burgers if you meet Frank mondo you have to say good job. he is amazing at his job and stays involved!

Is it pet friendly?

There is a big outdoor patio. I imagine you could bring a pet.

Our first visit was fairly quick--we sat at the bar, had a couple of drinks and an appetizer, and enjoyed it enough that we knew we wanted to come back for the full experience. Tonight we finally did, and it definitely did not disappoint. We happened to come on their monthly Latin Night, with a DJ and such a fun atmosphere. They also have live music several nights throughout the week, so we're already looking forward to coming back and checking that out. The food was fantastic. We tried the triple tail special, which was excellent, and I had the Black & Blue Salad with skirt steak, which was absolutely delicious. Apparently they offer different specials every night, so definitely ask about them when you're there. The cocktails are pretty amazing too! We love sitting at the bar, and Josh has been our bartender both times. He is AWESOME--friendly, attentive, and just adds to the whole experience. One of the things we really loved about tonight was the overall vibe. We ended up meeting a couple of local people at the bar who we really hit it off with and may have even made some new friends! We also happened to meet the owner and some of his friends, which made an already great night even more memorable. There's just a really welcoming, fun energy to the place. Great food, fantastic drinks, live music, a fun atmosphere, and genuinely nice people--what more could you ask for? We're pretty excited to go back, try more of the menu, and experience some of the other live music nights. I think we found ourselves a new Stuart favorite! Highly recommend Pez Vela!

We had a great time. My only criticism is it seemed a bit pricey…read more We sat outside and they had a two piece band playing that night. Nice setting and a bar outside as well. We went with some rolls to start and then some Peruvian inspired treats. The prep was too notch and love that the chef combine his roots with the Japanese inspired roll. Great food. Service was solid and many Spanish speaking meseros por mis amigos latinos.

First course: I got the watermelon and goat cheese salad which was ok...I didn't realize it was served on arugula...not my favorite green. But that's my problem. My friend ordered the onion soup, which looked delicious. Entree: Three of us had the filet medallions, which were cooked perfectly to each person's order. I would say each of the two pieces were 2 to 2.5 ounces, certainly enough for a meal that also consisted of risotto and two of the largest grilled shrimp I've seen in a long time. One of us ordered the swordfish, shrimp, and asparagus entree. He said it was very good. The amount of food was substantial without sacrificing any flavor. Truly delicious. Dessert: The dessert I chose was a lava cake that came with a large scoop of vanilla and a bit of whipped cream on the side. Another ordered the orange creamsicle pie, which was also delicious and different. The wait staff was great...professional and courteous. The decor is beautiful, and it's not noisy! Highly recommend. Certainly a great value for the money..

As GREAT as the staff is, the food was just as great! Had their Wagyu burger...Incredible! My sister had their crab cake...the best she's ever had! Kids menu was great also. The kids fruit cup was brought out in a giant soup bowl! Again Staff was AMAZING and food was delicious! I highly recommend and I'll be coming back every time I visit my family.

We came to TideHouse for brunch and really enjoyed it. Between the food, waterfront setting, live…read moremusic and $5 Bloody Marys, it's a pretty great way to spend a weekend morning or afternoon. I got the chicken and waffles, and they were excellent. The waffle was rich and buttery, and the chicken was incredibly moist and flavorful. What really made it work was the saltiness of the crispy coating on the chicken against the buttery waffle and sweet syrup. Such a good combination. The home fries were also delicious--the sautéed onions and peppers added a ton of flavor and made them much better than your standard breakfast potatoes. Tim had the Hangover Burger, which was also fantastic. There is A LOT going on with this burger, but somehow it isn't too much. Everything works together. The runny egg and avocado in particular really take it over the top. Definitely a flavor bomb, in the best possible way. And the $5 Bloody Marys are hard to beat. Great mix, nicely garnished and honestly a steal for $5. Service was great as well. Our server, Ashley, took excellent care of us, and the manager (possibly the owner?) also stopped by to check in, which is always a nice touch. They had live music outside overlooking the water, and although sitting outside can be a little tough in the Florida heat, I went out for a bit to listen and he was delightful. Great music and such a nice atmosphere. My one suggestion would be to pipe the live music inside as well. We would have loved being able to hear it from the bar/dining room. My only real gripe is the parking. Self-parking is extremely limited, although they do offer complimentary valet. I'm personally not a huge valet person, particularly when it's busy, and it was a little frustrating seeing empty spaces that weren't available for self-parking. It would be great if they could reserve even a handful of spaces for people who prefer to park themselves, even if those spaces are farther away. That said, there's a great alternative: the Tiki Taxi stops right at TideHouse, so you can take it between downtown Stuart and the restaurant--which also makes TideHouse a really fun stop if you're spending the day hopping around downtown and the waterfront. Overall, I highly recommend TideHouse for brunch. Great food, good drinks, beautiful waterfront views, live music and friendly service. We'll definitely be back.

We live at the marina so the Tidehouse (or is it "House"??) is a go to for us. I say "House"…read morebecause the "Tide" sign on the water side is continually out! We've mentioned it to management several times however they seem surprised (& unconcerned) each time. Routinely the service is good, food is good....however they are not focused on customer service. They are often more concerned with closing the restaurant than providing great customer service as well as honoring their published hours. On more than one occasion, we have called to place a to go order and they have closed the kitchen early (after being told by the server, they would not close before 10p that Friday night). Also on more than one occasion, they have a bar full of people (wanting to stay, drink & spend more $$) and they bring the check to close the tab so the staff (or manager!) can leave. AND this all has happened during OFF SEASON! Being well educated in the hospitality industry, it's clear to me Tidehouse is not well run from the top down. This is unfortunate since it's such a perfect location with beautiful views.
