Great atmosphere the whiskey bar up front is spectacular...dark with heavy damask curtains...gives the feel of a NY Speakeasy...fabulous drinks with fresh herbs...great addition to Florida!!! Inside the restaurant is beautiful with spectacular furniture. I give a 5 for atmosphere and decor!!! I went for brunch once and food was ehhh....figured dinner would be different. Steaks were not cooked to correct temp and my fish-mahi, was uncooked and had to be sent back. Caesar dressing I was told was homemade but i tasted no anchovy or garlic-very important tastes in a proper Caesar. Service is attentive and kind. Hoped for better food for this place read more

Our visit to Café Martier, was a bit special, it was our 47th wedding anniversary and we had heard about a new restaurant in the downtown Stuart area so we had to check it out. I made reservations via yelp on line , worked perfectly. We arrived a little early because I wanted to try the authentic Speakeasy bar that I was told about, and as it turns out its the real deal. The drinks are hand crafted like the old days, very cool. We then moved on to the hostess who sat us at a quaint table for two, the décor is simple and comfortable. Our server was a delightful young lady who greeted us moments after we were seated to offer drinks to get started. We had soups to start our meal, cream of Asparagus and Autumn Squash. The entry, braised short rib for my wife and ribeye for me, both were cooked perfectly. For dessert we had flourless chocolate cake and a Tiramisu for a nice finish, or so we thought, as I told them that this was our anniversary they sent us a complimentary bottle of champagne to toast our day... very nice, thank you . We go to the Lyric theatre regularly so this will become a pre show stop going forward. read more

Without question, the best Fillet Mignon I have ever had! Perfect temperature, and the special sauce I was told is made at home by the chef, and it was incredible. Leslie's service was e first rate and friendly, as was McKenzie and Taylor. The classic atmosphere added to the very pleasant experience. This one is on my go back to list, and I live 45 minutes away. read more

Nice ambience, friendly bartenders, we hung out on the bar side which was low lit and lounge-y. This place just opened, it is kind of hidden down a little alley. The food was excellent, their menu had nice food/appetizer options. read more

My husband and I love it here! Beautiful ambiance, Delicious creative food. We always love to sit at the bar. Erica and Tiffany make yummy cocktails! They are a great team! Super friendly and treat us like a old friends. Beautiful stuart newest addition! So happy your here! See you soon. read more

Awesome bar and great bartender. Mackenzie was a very tentative bartender. He makes a great espresso martini!

My friend and I had a wonderful meal at Cafe Martier at the quaint Post Office Arcade in downtown Stuart. We ate out on the charming indoor patio with a gorgeous classical fountain--lovely ambience! The house wine exceeded our expectations, and the braised short ribs were absolutely divine, tender and full of flavor. I daydream about them. Our server, Keith, was knowledgable, discreet, and prompt. All his suggestions were great--do try the Macadamia-Crusted Key Lime pie! It was a perfect gals' night out,but I can't wait to go again for a romantic evening! Perfect for any occasion. read more

Stopped in this little gem for Bruch and absolutely loved it. The ambiance is great and the servers Brianna and Robert were amazing. They were super attentive and my mimosa was never empty. Highly recommended! read more

AMAbsolutely the best new restaurant in downtown Stuart. It's a little hidden, so don't miss it. You won't regret it. The crab cake appetizer is homemade and cooked perfectly. They are made completely of crab without any filler if you're looking for something a bit lighter. Lots of options for people on the keto diet. They have a brand new projector screen in the speakeasy bar for football season and offer jumbo wings during games. I am really picky when it comes to wings and they were large and perfect. Try the mango habanero sauce. No matter what mood you are in, they have an area of the restaurant for you. The fountain room, speakeasy bar, breezeway bar, and large back room all have different atmospheres depending on what you're looking for. The management team are personable and make sure you have the best experience possible. Extremely interesting backstory and you get to feel like you're a part of Stuart's unique history. GO THERE! read more

Went here last night for a Birthday celebration. The restaurant is beautiful, they did a great job decorating the space from a post office, the main dining room is big, very spacious bar and another smaller dinning area with tall ceilings and a fountain. All of our food was excellent, falafel, crab cakes and avocado bruschetta all very tasty. Three of us had the short ribs which were exceptional, with mashed potatoes and spiralized yellow and green squash, delicious. My friend had the ribeye which he said was delicious, it looked a little thin but he said that it was cooked perfectly. Dessert was also yummy especially the flourless chocolate cake and creme brûlée. My only dissatisfaction was the service which was slow and really only one waiter for the big dining room, they've only been open 3 weeks so that I would think is easy to fix. read more

If I could rate a restaurant higher than 5 Stars, it would be this one. I am a retired Server, Bartender and Manager. The service, the food and cleanliness is A1. Unlike almost everywhere, it doesn't seem to be understaffed. May be a great place to work? Management is EXACTLY what should be. Get in there and HELP where needed. Not in the office. I hope I remembered her name right, Erica. Put on tennis shoes not high heels... Never saw it, but, I really think if the Dishwasher got in the weeds... she would be there to help. With their different rooms, it could feel like your in a different place every night. I may never go anywhere else. PLEASE, tell your friends!! And, in closing... You can judge a lot from how the restroom is. Clean, fully stocked, and everything works. TRY THEM!! read more

One of the best experiences I've had at a restaurant! Absolutely amazing service and amazing food that came out shockingly quick. The seating area was absolutely gorgeous with comfortable seating. Highly recommend, this is a Florida gem! read more

Do not go on holidays. Received an email with these wonderful specials for apps, main meal, and dessert for Easter Sunday. So excited and get there and our waitress said those were for last night. I said no todays Easter?? She said they modified it to be this other dish!! I reluctantly ordered it. It had the duck on it but it was so dry. Evidently cooked last night and reheated today! Just awful and unable to chew. It was supposed to be served with sunny side eggs but they were cooked well done! So I was looking forward to the dessert special only to find out they didn't have that either. So I had a martini for Easter!! The music stopped before everyone finished dinner on top of that. I think Duffys would have been better. Last time there. read more

Great ambiance. Wonderful addition to downtown Stuart. Mitch on piano and guitar is phenomenal.

The food, drinks, atmosphere and entertainment are superb. We had a party of 8 who ordered various appetizers and entrees and no one was disappointed, in fact, we will all be back once we're able to, given the quarantine. The whole Speakeasy experience was especially enjoyable, like living through prohibition of the 1920s. If you're looking for the complete fine dining experience, this is the place. read more

In from Chicago and decided to give them a second chance after rough first visit. We showed up for Easter brunch didn't have table ready restaurant was half full. Food was horrible service stunk. Never going back. RUN!!! read more

My wife and I were walking down downtown Stuart when a very nice charismatic lady invited us to come in to her restaurant to show us around. It was a beautiful restaurant, nice piano music playing with an old speakeasy bar off to the side. However, they apparently don't use filtered water as our water had a sort of funny taste to it, and when my wife's rice came out with her meal, it had the very same taste meaning they cook the rice in tapwater. I got one of their specials, which was a sort of Chinese rice with chicken and shrimp inside of a pineapple with a large prawn that had little to no meat in it on top of it. The little bit of meat that I was able to pull out of it, tasted burnt as they must've fried it on a grill. The rest of my food was very good and my wife's sea scallops were very good as well. We spent about $104 without tip so it is a bit pricey although we did order some champagne. I would try them again however, I think I would try their filet mignon with mashed potatoes, but if they can take some constructive criticism, it would be their food will be much better if they were to use filtrated water.. read more

Forgot to post earlier, but had brunch here last Sunday. The food AND service were wonderful. Special shout out to Manager Christina who is FABULOUS. Enjoyed meeting and talking with you. Hope to see you again this next week! read more

I always have a good time at Cafe Martier. My husband and I had friends in town visiting and decided to bring them for brunch a couple of weeks ago. Our server was Savannah and she was fantastic! She checked on us frequently and made sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend! read more

Easily the best place for a cocktail in Martin County. Erika and the team provide fabulous service and even better drinks in a bar with great ambience. Check it out. read more

It was our first time in for brunch, and this place is absolutely fantastic! Our waiter, McKenzie, was absolutely fantastic-- Checked on us often and even gave us a tour of the restaurant, explaining all of its history. There was a pianist playing the entire time we dinned. All around an absolutely beautiful experience for both my wife and I. The decor, the atmosphere, and the wait staff were beyond fantastic. If I could give it 6 stars I would. Would recommend. read more

La Grande Martier - New American Near Me - Stuart, Florida

Best new gem of Stuart. The place is filled with amazing ambience and love the different vibes of the speakeasy bar and the restaurant. Cocktails are fresh and fun! The food is delightful and has a variety that is very pleasing. The croquettes were cheesy and wonderful, crabcakes are very flavorful and you can tell homemade. Avocado bruchetta was also great, nice choices for vegetarians here.Short ribs were tender and perfectly cooked. They have a late night bar menu- get the tacos and the buffalo veggies. So glad this has come to Stuart. read more

I have eaten here twice and both times were extremely enjoyable. I have tried the Ribeye and the Fillet, both met my standards. (I am a demanding person who usually challenges the chef's expertise with not on the menu requests.) Cooked to perfection and nicely seasoned. The mixed drinks were stiff but not overbearing, and our servers did a very good job spacing the meal so we were not rushed or having to wait. The manager stopped at the table each time inquiring if we were satisfied with the meal and service. We have many restaurants in our downtown area and that one is deserving of our business. read more

We went with a few friends for drinks. The bartender (Erica) was rude and unprofessional. If you are looking for a nice friendly place for cocktails, go somewhere else. read more

Have only had apps and drinks here so cannot fairly review dinner. Service in the back piano area is great. I can comment though on the service, atmosphere and entertainment( music). The owners have done a stellar job with this place. It's lovely and is a wonderful addition to downtown Stuart. If I may comment on only one part of this place, though, it is to say WOW to the nights (I believe weekends) when guitarist/pianist Mitch is playing. What an extremely talented musician. He is really too good to be playing for just a few restaurant patrons-he is worthy of a much bigger venue. But yay for us locals....come and check him out. And thank you Cafe Martier for having him at your restaurant. It is very appreciated. read more

It was our first time finding this little paradise in a cubby hole! Amazing service and food

Awesome cocktails. Delicious food. Cool Decor. A welcome addition to the Stuart scene. read more

Perfectly cooked NY Strip Steak and the mac & cheese was sooooo delicious! Must try when in town; good TV set-up as well! Lisa was so accommodating and helped us get the right game on! read more

My brother, sister and I meet in Stuart to reconnect and enjoy the ambiance, people and good food. When we saw this new addition we were hopeful, but ultimately disappointed. The mashed potatoes were instant, the meats obviously frozen, and the preparation was just downright poor. We will not return. read more

Popped in here for a drink and appetizer and it was great! Love the drinks, food was great, and the live music was awesome!

I do not normally leave reviews but I was very disappointed with Cafe Martier. Although the atmosphere was amazing, the food was subpar. I got the crab cake benedict which tasted like it was made with canned crab to me. Has potential. read more

First time dining here. Liked the ambiance. Very good menu selections. Food mostly above average (enjoyed the avocado bruschetta & cinnamon salmon) although flatbread was undercooked. Service was below average. Waitress was not very attentive. Appetizers came out quickly enough. Main courses did not - and restaurant was not overly crowded. Would consider giving it another chance. read more

Very un-accommodating, flys everywhere, poor quality food and service. This used to be a great spot in downtown Stuart, not anymore. Yuck!

Atmosphere dingy..I think french cafe was goal, cheap chairs, restoration hardware meets antique store. Party 10, busy place. LOUD inside...the food was very good. Appetizers excellent, crab cake and ahi tuna excellent. Yellowtail snapper excellent. Red meat overcooked, but new steak good. Desserts fantastic. Definitely would go back. Nicd to have new place in Stuart read more

Went here for Christmas dinner and got seated right away... next to the kitchen and bathroom entrance. The server took our orders and drinks came out right away. A little wait for the appetizers. Had to send the soup back as it was cold. Then over an hour until our entrees were served. My boyfriend had to get up to find our server and let her know we were leaving because we hadn't had our dinners served. She panicked and ran to the kitchen saying they were plated now. They weren't. A lady came out who I assume is an owner or manager apologizing profusely saying the kitchen was overwhelmed. My boyfriend who has been a chef all his life and owned his own restaurant at one point told her this was unacceptable. Other tables who had come in after us had eaten already. Finally ten more minutes later our dinners were finally served. She apologized again and promised to comp the drinks and apps for our inconvenience. I ordered the coconut encrusted Mahi which had no coconut on it at all. Other than that it was tasty. When the bill came all that was comped was a $6 bowl of soup. Probably will not be back here. Also I work for a hotel in Stuart and get asked for recommendations. I will not recommend this place. read more

I am so picky when it comes to drinks... this place takes it to another level! Their cocktails are 10/10, definitely a little pricey but worth it read more

I ordered their 14 oz. Rib Eye and was very disappointed. The steak had very little grill color and it appeared to be more like a 12 oz. Rib Eye. The steak had a decent quality and flavor though it was extremely overpriced for the portion size. The other issue it was served with a side of mashed potatoes and the steaks was served atop of the potatoes. Probably to help embellish the size of the small steak. This definitely isn't a place for a steak. FYI I have been in the Meat Industry for 30 plus years and have portioned 1000's of steaks. Believe me, I know the difference. read more

I love this place! The Mediterranean Chicken Flatbread is awesome and every single drink on the craft cocktail menu is fantastic. Great service and one of the only places with later hours in Stuart. read more

First time at this place. We had reservations for 7:30. We got seated at the forgotten table. That's the table at the entrance in front of the fountain. Say "no" you don't want to seat there. The place was very nice. The girls at the front desk were nice. We sat down and waited and waited and waited ... Finally the manager stopped and asked us if we had been taken care of. She was very surprise with our answer. "No.. we are at the forgotten table. Immediately she took our drink order and let us know it was on the house. The rest of the evening was nothing to write home about. Sea bass over priced and Branzino was bland. Will we return ..maybe! They have a very cool speak easy bar which looked very cool. read more

We had a lovely bruncheon/luncheon at Cafe Martier this afternoon, our weekly ladies gathering. The menu had a good selection of small plates, salads, sandwiches and side dishes, something for everyone. The restaurant is decorated very European with long drapes, artwork, chip,n dale style chairs, two large dark wooden bars with bar chairs that have backs; they have an unusal concept - 2 Happy Hour Bars, both with separate menus, you can choose to have small plates r appetizers, all at reasonable prices.The theme of the restaurant is romantic, evening music, divine spirits, and a pleasant waitstaff. Looking forward to our next visit to test out the romantic dining room and piano bar. Hats off to the two ladies who own this hidden treasure!!! RBS read more
