After a shopping trip in downtown Stuart, wanted to try a couple of restaurants. To start our dining experience, we stopped here to get our favorite appetizer, filthy scallops. They totally did not disappoint. I LOVE this appetizer- scallop perfectly seared, caviar and crème fraiche- perfect compliment. Love the little Slice of black truffle on the side. I had a wonderful Oregon Pinot Gris- perfect with the scallops. Our server was very attentive in this low key but busy little restaurant. Excellent choice for any occasion. read more

3.5 stars, based on value. The restaurant is quaint and the food is very good, but to spend nearly $60 on a piece of fish that didn't come with a vegetable and to be told that "it's in the sauce" is unacceptable. They also stopped serving the complimentary pretzel rolls and now offer "bread service" which looked like nearly half of a baguette with some sort of flavored butter for $6. My husband had the pork chop, and felt it was Ok, but it could not compare to the Gafford's chop, which is around the corner. read more

I was able to easily score an outside happy hour patio table after a brief walk (30 mins) around the shops... The happy hour menu was a great value for the drinks. I got a Keylime pie martini. ($8) Also a glass of sparkling rosé. ($7) Finally, fresh catch sliders -- slightly battered mahi-mahi (2) for $14. The server let me know they were out of buns, so they were semi-sliders. After my sliders arrived, another server who had gone above and beyond, had gone to pick up buns, so I asked for a bun for the remaining slider, which she was able to deliver. Happy hour is on the "bar and patio only, seven days a week from 2 to 5 PM." I'd plan to go then! read more

Great dinner but lunch is also offered with the same fresh food wonderfully prepared.

9/28/26 My wife and I had lunch today.. My wife ordered a Salad topped with Steak.. She let the server,, Joe B,, know she suffers from Celiac and asked the Steak be well done.. She asked to with hold the crisp noddles included in the Salad.. The salad came out with noddles over the Steak & Salad.. Sent back to kitchen where the removed the noodles instead of replacing the Salad.. The plate returned and my wife cut the Steak.. It was rare .. Sent back to kitchen where they re-grilled the same Steak.. We paid the bill and left.. RF read more

Beyond an amazing experience. Tiffany, my bartender, made this place, feel welcoming, and it was evident from her rapport with others that they felt the same. I so appreciated her recommendations to try the flying solo, white and red. Perfect wine to complement my meal. I sat at the bar and would do it again in a heartbeat! One of the highlights of my trip. read more

This is a favorite go to lunch spot Always great with a wonderful staff. Oysters are one of my staples here read more

I enjoy this location, I have always had great experiences here. I stopped in after shopping one day, and had some fresh oysters, and oysters Romanov, which was a fun new way to try oysters and I also had some refreshing and tasty wine! I just was also able to bring my mom here, she had never been so I wanted her to check it out, she had a blueberry mule mocktail, I had a glass of white wine,, and ordered oysters, they usually have nice variety of oysters! My mom even tried some as well which is huge, always a fresh and good time! Friendly service! Check them out if you are on the area! read more

This is a fantastic restaurant, the atmosphere was intimate and calm, the wait staff was attentive and informative and wow, the food was top notch! The crab cakes were meaty and flavorful, the oysters were so fresh and the entrees were so good I didn't even get a picture before we ate them. If I could give them 6 stars I would. read more

We had joined some friends to dine here per their recommendation and it did not disappoint. This establishment offers a quaint and intimate dining atmosphere coupled with excellent service. And the menu is broad enough to please any palate. Of particular appeal to me was the Oven Roasted Maple Leaf Duck. I am a big fan of duck, yet it is often a challenge to find it on menus. So when the option presents itself, I seldom have the willpower to choose something different. And in this case, the duck was a winner! Tender, very flavorful, and paired well with mashed potatoes. Yum! All in all a great dining experience. read more

Came here for dinner with a reservation (which you DEFINITELY need!). Keep in mind that they only serve beer and wine. The food was all fresh and very good, some of the dishes were a little bit under seasoned for my taste but nothing a splash of salt couldn't fix. Overall I would say it is on the pricier side, but this is clearly a spot for celebrations and nicer meals so it's not unreasonable. It's a very cute restaurant in a fun area to walk around, definitely recommend coming early so you can watch the sunset before having dinner! read more

We were Hungry caviar and in down town Stuart heard this was the spot for our craving so we popped in without a reso and were welcomed to have a seat at the Bar ! We were greeted swiftly and warmly by the bartender and We ordered the caviar (on top) along with a delicious bottle of Camus! The caviar was served with a plethora of accompaniments and the Bellinis but we prefer a fried potato with our caviar so we ordered a side of fries instead. The Bartender suggested the award winning coconut crusted black grouper in the coconut curry sauce as our main. The portion was very generous and fish was cooked to perfection. It was honestly the best piece of grouper I've had in a long time. I'd give it the blue ribbon!!! Apart from the food the service was impeccable! Our glasses stayed full the entire time and we wanted for nothing ! Somehow at the end of the night the room filled with pirates and I lost my booty!! read more

My boyfriend and I went here for date night and had a great dinner. Initially when he called for the reservation he was told that we would be seated at a high top but when we got there, they gave us the option on seating. We started with oysters and the Rhode Island calamari which were both fantastic. We then split the buffalo chicken sandwich and coconut crusted fish. Everything we had was incredible. Somehow we made room for dessert with the brownie sundae. I would definitely come here again. Overall it was fantastic. read more

We took out of town guests there yesterday for a late lunch/early dinner. We've been a few times and enjoyed. This was not one of those times. We like the ambience and the wait staff. The ice tea was good. I had the beggars purses which were fine but the sauce was coagulated and not hot; Husb had the crispy grouper which looked a lil dark, sadly over cooked; the basket of clam bellies all 5 were served over a giant amount of like warm fries quite sad actually where was the basket; the fried oysters with truffles and caviar were a hit; the oysters rockerfella were so so.Don't know what happened here but besides disappointing a bit embarrassing after we went on abt how good the place ...was. read more

We had a disappointing dinner. One of our favs is the oysters 'rock a feder' which this wasn't the same and 4 of 5 oysters were the smallest I've ever had! Not very good selection but our waiter was nice. read more

Everything went well at this gem of a restaurant! We went for a late lunch 3 pm on a Monday. They don't have hard liquor. They do have a wine based vodka. I had their key lime pie martini it was tasty. Not as good as the rosemary lemon drop martini at the black marlin but it was wine based vodka so I gave a try wasn't disappointed . We happened to be there during happy hour we got the 4 kinds of oysters they had available. Which were Quoinne from Rhode Island, Eel lake from Nova Scotia, murph's lucky charms and a brand from Massachusetts I've never heard of and I'm from Boston! The winners were Quoinne and Eel lake! If you ever see them on a menu get them. You will be happy you did I ordered 4 more of each they were so good! We proceeded with the first rich fried oysters. I thought they were excellent my husband did too he just wished the oysters were bigger. He ordered the crispy grouper sandwich and it was phenomenal I got the clams casino which we both thought were spot on and I got the wagyu sliders off the happy hour menu. They were fantastic. Service was good the bartender was a little overwhelmed. It felt like the heat wasn't on we were here in 30 degree weather so it was pretty chilly inside. The wait staff also had a jacket on! We were over all very happy and full ! Great place we can't wait to go back to! read more

Everything went well. This is a small restaurant so seating is close. Very knowledgable waiters for our party were able to answer all questions. The food is really good with lots of seafood items. Oysters looked fat and fresh. Wine list is large with many selections. We were all very happy with our visit. We will return! For visitors, location is great. Right down town and close to the river walk. Nice. Try it! read more

All went well : great food and great service ! Very fresh oysters and scallops , great salads ! read more

The food was delicious with every bite! We got the oysters, crab cakes, red fish, and fiocchi pasta. Plates were perfect portions. Will definitely go back. read more

Best brunch I've ever had! I went to Riverwalk Brunch on Sunday and was completely blown away. I ordered the steak and eggs, and it was absolutely perfect -- cooked just right and full of flavor. The staff was amazing -- super friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. And the coffee? Easily the best I've had at any coffee shop in Florida. No exaggeration -- it was that good. If you're looking for a brunch spot that checks every box -- incredible food, great service, and top-tier coffee -- Riverwalk is it. Can't recommend it enough! read more

Without a doubt, one of the best restaurants in Stuart. A must for oyster-lovers, though all of their offerings are truly excellent.

This is not your average higher end bar food. This cafe has excellent food and good wines. Yes, it is expensive. Our meal for three clocked in at $280 plus a nice tip. Our wonderfully prepared meals were: Oysters Rockefeller Fiocchi- Pasta stuffed with pear Gorgonzola salad with NY Steak added Elk (go med rare) really good when you can get it Grouper Etouffee Definitely not an everyday dinner spot, but for an outstanding chef inspired meal. Visit here. The only knock is that the wine was hugely overpriced for the quality on the low/mid tier. read more

The food is delicious and the service is really prompt. The specials always have something interesting. Depending on the time you go, it can be a great place for meals with friends or business connections. You can easily take a walk and digest stuff by the Riverwalk or shop on Osceola. Very well located. read more

Jessica was our server. We sat at the bar and had a great impromptu dinner. The wines by the glass were numerous. The two we selected exceeded expectations.

Stopped in for my family's yearly holiday celebration. The oysters and fish were even better than I remember. The coconut crusted catch of the day in curry was delicious. The blackened catch of the day was also great (even though I prefer it without the butter sauce). And the bread pudding to finish was incredible! also, the service is consistently above and beyond. Can't recommend enough! read more

Our whole group agreed that this is the best restaurant in this part of FL. The food was above and beyond-literally everything we ordered was fantastic. The ambiance is romantic but also has the feel of a quaint family restaurant. The menu has something for everyone-great appetizers, steak, fish and salad selections. I can't say enough about the service-top notch. A great experience. read more

This place was absolutely fantastic in every way. We sat outside one evening, as we arrived pretty early before the rush of folks lined-up to get in. It was a great night to sit outside, and the area around is scenic and enjoyable. Our server was top-notch. I forgot his name, but he was 100% on top of everything and very informative. SUPER helpful. And then of course, was the food. Every person at the table enjoyed what they had to eat. Very fresh, delicious, and adequate portions. I cannot recommend this place enough. If I'm in the area again, I will certainly make it a point to visit again. read more

This was the best restaurant I've been to in a while. Absolute top notch. We were a large table of 12 diners and everyone raved about their meal. They start you with these warm pretzel breads, much appreciated but try not to fill up or you'll be disappointed in yourself for not being able to enjoy your meal. I started with a Caesar salad and if you read my reviews I can be a touch picky about a Caesar and this hit all my check marks. - homemade croutons - dressed to order (not made ahead and soggy) - not over or under dressed - beautiful fresh shaved Parmesan We also had some delicious oysters - the cocktail sauce is spicy. It will literally clean your nose out. I also got to try a spoon of my dads creamy crab soup and a bite of my moms scallops and it was all delicious. The calamari was perfectly crispy and not overly breaded. For my meal I got the blackened swordfish special with a lemon bur blanc sauce. I could have bottled this sauce and eaten it on a lot of things, it was soooo good! But the real treat of the night was the homemade cookies and cream bread pudding. Holy mackerel warmed with ice cream I couldn't stop eating it. Service was also excellent which I know is hard with such a big table. Our waitress was very patient. They do not have a full bar but offer wine. My only area of development would be to invest in a bottle of grenadine to make Shirley temples for children. Not too hard and you'll make a kids night please. read more

Enjoyed a delightful dinner at Riverwalk Café & Oyster Bar in Stuart Florida. We began with raw oysters, sampling all four types available. Delicate and super fresh and perfectly chilled. For our mains we had their Ginger Glazed Scottish Salmon served grilled and then baked with fresh ginger with a mix of soy sauce, sherry, and honey. Served on very light jasmine rice and sautéed spinach. We also had Lane Snapper pan seared with white wine Beurre Blanc as well as their other special Black Grouper with a light watermelon wine sauce. All the fish was outstanding- cooked to perfection. For desert we enjoyed a coconut cream bread pudding with vanilla ice cream and fresh whipped cream with strawberries. Becky did an outstanding job assisting us with choices and serving our meal. Riverwalk is a lively and busy fun restaurant that shouldn't be missed. read more
