Anither great trip to Waterfront! Service is always great! I can't get enough of their french onion soup! The staff, management & bartenders are always so nice and helpful! Thanks! read more

We went for a small bite and we were seated promptly. Our server was really nice. The ambiance is very laid back. We shared the oysters and seafood beignets. Both were tasty. We also shared the chocolate cake and it was great. I'd definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

Atmosphere: The inside top floor can best be described as Minimalistic elegance. It's open concept atmosphere is complimented by a wall of floor to ceiling glass facing the St Lucie River. This opens the restaurant up to a sensational view. The first floor outside dining which features dock-side dining, has the same vibe but feels a bit more coastal. Service: First of all, if you want an inside table with an unrestricted view of the river, make sure you reserve a table ahead of time. However, our hostess was happy to find a table away from the windows for us 'commoner' walk-in guests. The service was attentive while not overbearing. The mark of a good restaurant is the fact that the manager came by a couple of times to make sure we were taken care of. They also were quick to comp a dish that we felt was not up to standard (more on that under "The Food" section). Most restaurants would provide a free dessert. Waterfront apologized and took the dish off the bill. That's first class. The Food: While the service and atmosphere were most definitely 5-star, the food was a mixed bag. My lovely bride and I had the lobster bisque which had plenty of lobster and was oh so creamy. An excellent choice to start off our meal. She originally wanted a Cornish Hens dish she saw online. However, it was not an offering on the menu. Instead, she chose the chicken breasts topped with a mustard based aioli accompanied by quartered potatoes. Unfortunately, the chicken breasts were bone dry as was the fingerling potatoes. My experience was just the opposite. As anyone who follows my reviews knows, if you offer duck I'm all in. The crispy duck was covered with a delicious orange glaze and featured perfectly crispy skin covering, super moist duck legs and thighs. The dish featured candied heirloom carrots and a wonderfully creamy vanilla sweet potato mash. If you like duck, this is the place to dine. For dessert, we shared what I believe to be the best flourless chocolate tort I have ever had. It was super creamy and was accompanied with a dabble of homemade whipped cream and a wonderfully tart raspberry sauce. Absolutely fantastic. The Final Decision: As with all my reviews, the final "Customer so what" is... would we return? The answer... Yes. We just wouldn't choose the chicken. Everything else was first class and hopefully our next visit would be a five star meal all around! read more

Ambiance: Beautiful. Love that most tables have a nice view to the water. Service: pretty good. Server was attentive cracking a few jokes here and there. Food: Appetizer was good. Got the Moroccan Cigars... a popular choice for good reason. Main course though, that's where it fell off for us. I got the Salmon, which came with Risotto and sea green beans. They (green beans) were way too salty for my liking. The salmon was just ok.. Bland for the flavors the menu described. My mom got the Pork Chops.. That was barely cooked, and was so bland I don't think it was seasoned. She didn't like it at all.. Overall: ambiance and service is pretty good.. But the food just isn't worth the price tag for what it was. read more

Stopped by while shopping in beautiful downtown Stuart. The lovely waterfront view is beautiful! We ordered a great cocktail to start- a violent bubbly for me and bourbon for my sister. Mine definitely stole the shoe- presentation beautifully made and delicious! For lunch, we shared the salmon BLT- loved it! Salmon perfectly cooked, bacon slightly sweet and put on a wonderful bread. Fries nicely cooked. Our server was very knowledgeable and kind. My only critique- would love to see a more extensive wine list. read more

We celebrated my mother-in-law's birthday here and had a nice experience overall. The drinks were delicious, and the restaurant is beautiful with amazing waterfront views--perfect for a special occasion. We originally had an outdoor reservation, but due to heavy wind, we were quickly accommodated inside with a great view, which we appreciated. Everyone enjoyed their food, and the pricing felt reasonable for the quality. The restaurant wasn't very busy, but the service was just okay--our server wasn't very attentive and didn't check on us much throughout the meal. We had requested a birthday candle in advance, but the dessert came out without it, and since we didn't have our server checking on us, we just moved forward without it. Despite that, we would go back for the ambiance, drinks, and overall vibe. read more

We were driving back from Ft. Lauderdale to Orlando and decided to stop in at 5:30 on a Saturday night on a whim. The parking lot was packed and I was afraid we weren't going to be able to get a table, but we did and I'm so glad. The view was incredible! The food was also very good. I had the clam chowder and a house salad and Mom had the chicken, which was delicious. The Waterfront restaurant is 2 hours from my house, but I might have to make the drive to come back here for special occasions - it's that good! read more

Waterfront has, as its name implies, a beautiful waterfront view if you're sitting outside. Also great and attentive service. Unfortunately that's about where the positives end. It does have a substantial menu but every item ordered was underwhelming. A $20 order of chicken lollipop wings brought us four wings, two of which were full of bones and difficult to eat. I ordered the short rib tacos for my meal which had the cowboy candy; these were not bad but did lack flavor. I upgraded to a mango salsa side for $3 which was incredibly small and also oddly had no flavor. This would be a great place to sit by the water and have some cocktails on a nice day. Unfortunately I don't find the food to be worth the price. read more

The Waterfront is lovely, located on the actual waterfront of downtown Stuart, with glorious views of the Intracoastal. There are two levels to the restaurant: the top, which has a more formal dining room feel, and the bottom, which is open-air with a bar and a partitioned area for table seating, offering excellent waterfront views. The appeal of the Waterfront is the views, as you've noticed from this review so far. The cocktails were good. A little citrusy from what I ordered, but solid. The lobster roll was excellent, as were the baked mussels my Mom ordered with a baked pastry top and a tasty sauce. The vibes allow for a lovely afternoon or early evening hangout, so long as the weather holds, which it did for us. You can walk around the water on the nearby docks. It's also close to the small amphitheater. Really chill, really fun, the Waterfront is a terrific spot to enjoy some good times and food. read more

This place has view going for it of the water.. our server was lovely.. that's the 3 stars. I asked my hubby his opinion he said two stars! They always ask do u have reservations and I've actually been sent away! When u have reservations im told first come first serve we don't do reservations? Ok so sit down sweet server she couldn't have been better! Beer over 8$beer at Hudson's happy hour 7 days a week 4$ same view.. salad 17$ was a joke! Looked like a bag of Publix salad dumped on a plate 4 dates a few pieces shredded carrots don't bother! Dish I had was served cold the cigar appetizer so went back came back hot much improved! I find that's a problem here food that's not hot maybe sitting there? I wanted a burger but only cones with fries I can't eat. FYI all fried food( going in deep fried) will be shared with all foods that go in there. I do not eat seafood so my app was in with fish oh u can get other than fries for a not cheap up charge. To me this place is more of a tourist place which we are not. We eat out 4 to 5 times a week mostly in Stuart we walk the boardwalk. It's very busy very loud and seems like tourists. Go for happy hour weekdays to avoid the ridiculous prices they think they are in palm beach. For salad walk a few steps to Hudson's eat outside or under tiki hut for happy hour and salad is excellent! We get 100$ credit from Amex platinum every few months so we just go for that and hh otherwise. I like food better at hh read more

We enjoyed a variety of cocktails during this happy hour visit. My Companion had two Peartini's -- which were sweet, but not overly so. I tried the Ms. Lavender (in the Courtyard?) which was good, but I preferred the El Diablo (a spicy margarita). We tried the Oyster trilogy which was three baked oysters of all different varieties. We also have the tuna tartare nachos, which were good and the spinach dip and chips, which were tasty, too. read more

We had a reservation and as soon as we arrived our table was ready.... Waterfront as requested. Very nice, relaxing view. The ambiance of the restaurant matches that within their fish decorations, blue uniforms for staff and spacious white space. Service was incredible. Very friendly, quick, making us feel very welcomed. At no point did we feel rushed and were able to enjoy dinner at our pace, enjoying our date with a view. Prices are very reasonable. We found one of our favorite white wines and impressed they didn't market it up ridiculously high. The charcuterie board was a good amount, including 4 different cheeses, meats, fruits, a delicious pimento cheese spread, fig jam, honey and bread. They even brought us more bread. The lobster bisque is one of the best ones I've had, with a generous amount of lobster meat in it. The size was great to have as a meal after the charcuterie. We also ordered the crab and shrimp beignets. We liked the taste of them but with they came with less mustard. Still not reason to take any points away from them. We absolutely had a great experience and recommend visiting them. read more

Quick update from Friday's negative review. Management reached out to me and apologized for our treatment and assured me the issue was addressed. To be clear, we have patronized Waterfront several times and have never had a bad experience. We love the food, the views and the service. We are looking forward to our next visit. read more

I wanted to shake it up so I decided to walk on the board walk on the board walk a bit, and came across the waterfront, I had been before when it was named something else, but I was happy to come across it, and check it out. I had a delicious and savory salmon blt with caper dill aioli. It was amazing, and I also had truffle fries with the sandwich, they have a tasty martini called the geshia and I enjoyed a Hendricks and tonic, with cucumber! It was a very tasty lunch! read more

This location provides a relaxing environment with a lovely waterfront view as the name implies. I wasn't very pleased with the food however, and it starts with the pricing. We ordered gochujang wings for $20 and only received 4. The two that I ate were meaty enough, but my wife says otherwise. Receiving only 4 wings does not justify that price, especially when half of us are disappointed in the meat to bone ration AND the gochujang is doing all of the heavy lifting. I ordered tuna tacos with mango salsa. It came with chips and guacamole. This meal was incredibly bland. I ordered additional limes just to taste something on the tacos and the guacamole. There was hardly any lime and cilantro. I don't even think they utilized any of that in making this guac. I would not return. Service was decent, although we waited a while for our tacos. read more

Really enjoyed this place. As you can tell by the name, it was waterfront and great view with an upscale vibe. I had just arrived from VA, so just sat at the bar. The bartender, Rebecca, was great! She was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Provided some great suggestions. I started with a Mango Tango cocktail was awesome. I started with a tuna tartare "nachos" which I really enjoyed. Could have easily ordered a second one as my main, but opted for the Strawberry Fields salad. It was the day before XMas Eve and decided eating light was wise, although they have a duck dish on the menu that I will have before I leave this area. Overall, great experience with beautiful view, awesome servers and delicious food. Cheers and Merry XMas! read more

Very nice waterfront restaurant with a casual, but classy vibe. They have one of the best happy hour menus, featuring craft cocktails that aren't crazy expensive, allowing you to try some creative and fun drinks. It also features discounts on beer and wine. Pretty good selection of happy hour appetizers, too. BUT.... you can only order from the happy hour menu if you are on the concrete section of the outdoor bar area. The server kept having to explain that to people. Pretty funny. read more

Great establishment! Amazing clams! You must ask for juliet, she was an amazing server!

The food is amazing, the servers are all outstanding, the bar service is excellent and drinks are delicious. Beautiful views of the Stuart waterway, (not sure if this is St. Lucie River) but very nice ambiance. Shout out to Kim Long, who makes party reservations-she is professional, helpful, adapts to change and is always fun to deal with. This is my very favorite restaurant of the many excellent restaurants in downtown Stuart-I have visited many times and never been disappointed. Thank you all!!! Janice Tucker read more

Beautiful location and ambiance. Wine pours not generous and dirty/spotted wine glasses are a pet peeve for me. Juliette & Mike very nice and attentive staff. Sonny is a bit loud, cocky and abrasive for the atmosphere. read more

STAFF TAKES 10 stars! Yes, they do. We stopped on our way to Jacksonville to stay overnight for our flight the next day. Water views with a mother nature feeding show. Right on the boardwalk. Frankly, I was expecting it to be touristy trappy and it was far from it. The beignettes were an interesting appetizer - really well executed. As was the Poketini. Quite frankly, after the HORRIBLE seafood we had sampled in Ft Lauderdale, we weren't expecting much. SO HAPPY they stepped up and knocked it out! read more

This was by far the best food we've had visiting for spring break. Not only did it give unbelievable views of the bridge along with the sky line; but the service was above and beyond. If you're lucky enough to get Shane as your waiter, your dinner is guaranteed to be excellent. Shane gave us awesome recommendations in exchange for some laughs. He was so patient with us and consistently checked on our table. He didn't only serve food, but served great energy the whole night. I highly recommend mussels and the Fragola martini, they were delish! read more

Shirlee and I decided to drive up to Stuart to have lunch and roam around downtown Stuart . We went back to Waterfront for lunch. We sat at the bar down stairs as it's open air and has a great view of the inter coastal. This is where we met our bartender extraordinaire Juliette a cute professional that was right on mark suggesting drinks and appetizers for us . Shirlee had a Durazno Margarita that came smokie from Juliette . I was a bit boring and had my usual go to Yuengling Lager . I asked Juliette for recommendations on an appetizer , she was quick to point out their Moroccan Cigars that were absolutely wonderful. Shirlee pondered the nice menu while I went straight to the Lobster Roll with celery, red onion served on a soft roll with truffle fries . Shirlee decided on the house hamburger ( sounds regular not at all) its 8 oz custom burger blended bourbon bacon jam , Bibb lettuce, tomato, herb goat cheese on a brioche bun . Let me tell you it was outstanding and a fantastic recommendation. We took out time and enjoyed the background music and great hospitality provided by Juliette and of course my beautiful wife Shirlee . All in all it s a win win here in Stuart today . I definitely suggest you stop by and visit the restaurant. If not for lunch maybe a nice drink with great views . They have a great happy hour as well from 3-6 definitely worth checking out. read more

Came here for brunch with the family. The server was very kind and lovely. The place is beautiful on the inside with a coastal feel and glass windows overlooking the ocean. The views are spectacular! We tried the peaches in paradise and kool berry thyme drinks and they were very tasty. We shared the buffalo cauliflowers and avocado wedges and they were fantastic favorites as well! My parents had the tuna tacos and they liked them. I tried the crispy chicken sandwich. It was good, just wished it was a tad less sweet. For dessert we shared the key lime pie and it was the perfect amount of lime. read more

Amy was our server... We sat at the bar so she was also our bartender. Five star personality and five star drinks. We ordered a crispy chicken sandwich and a burger. Both were cooked to perfection. They came with Fries which were like small steak house fries. Generous portions. We also ordered a side salad with their ranch dressing. The dressing was delicious. We sat at the bar with a beautiful view of the St. Lucie River. Beautiful. What could be better? We will be back again. read more

Really enjoyed our evening at Waterfront. The ambience is fantastic and you just can't beat the view. Service was top-notch--our server, Andrew Zeller, was amazing. He was charming, gracious, and somehow anticipated what we needed before we even asked. The music was a little hit or miss. Early in the night it was heavy on dance-pop, which wasn't really my vibe, but later on they shifted to more new-age and loungy jazz, which fit the atmosphere perfectly. Food was solid--we had the mixed salad and the avocado & shrimp tacos. Both were good, though I personally would've liked a bit more spice. All in all, a great spot in Stuart and we'll definitely be back next time we're in town. read more

My first time visiting this place and what a disappointment. I ordered the bone-in ribeye to go, thinking I was gonna come home, enjoy a nice steak for dinner. Turned out they sold me rotten, decomposed meat. There is wet and dry aged steaks which are a pleasure to enjoy, then there are rotten steaks that smells like decomposing human flesh, that's what they served me as a to go order a few minutes ago. I had to run and drop the entire order to the dumpster and the entire house smells like decomposing flesh still. I do believe it's their way of telling me they don't want my business and not to come back, but I would respect them more had they told me at the door 'we don't serve your kind here'. read more

Got to this lovely restaurant at 11:30 am on a Sunday and met friends from college. We sat inside right by the window overlooking the gorgeous water. Started off with an espresso martini, which was delicious and our server, Jack was also the bartender! For appetizers, we had tuna nachos and the fish dip which was spectacular. Next, I ordered a second martini this one was called a Peartini, which was delicious and for lunch went with the short rib grilled cheese with no onions. Again, everything was superb from the ambience, the decor, the hostess, the server, everything is just A+++. Looking forward to going back with my hubby for dinner soon! read more

This was an awesome place! We picked it for dinner tonight based on the reviews and they all were spot on. Dylan was our server - he woo'd us from the beginning because he's also a Philadelphia Eagles fan He was very kind and professional, and guided our table through great recommendations for appetizers. He event escorted my aunt to the restroom when she couldn't find it! Highly recommended the following in the following order, and would get all again: - Moroccan Cigars - Steamed clams (they come in this bubble of a dough crust and it was incredible to tear off and dip in the white wine sauce). - Avocado Mango Crab Stack - Tuna Tartare Nachos Plus, the view was incredible! Would definitely Come back the next time we're visiting. read more

We enjoyed a lovely evening at the Waterfront Restaurant, and the view alone makes it worth the visit--absolutely stunning. We went on a weekday, and it was pleasantly uncrowded. We sat inside, where the restaurant has a trendy, elegant vibe with a beautiful bar and panoramic views of the water. The food was more like 3.5 for us. We started with chips and guacamole, followed by a split hot Caesar salad. The dressing on the salad was fantastic, though we would have loved it a bit more charred. For our mains, we had the crab cake with rice and the pasta with scallops and shrimp. Unfortunately, the crab cake was too soft, and the rice could have been cooked longer. The pasta dish was the most disappointing--the pasta was limp and overcooked, though the seafood itself was fresh and delicious. With better pasta or perhaps a side of mashed potatoes, this dish could really shine. After dinner, we took a relaxing walk on the pier and strolled into town--such a perfect way to end the evening. read more
