Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Stuart

Been going for 30 plus years and always had a great dinner and service.

A definite to go “on the water” eatery! Outstanding menu but service can be iffy.

You must try Palm City Social. This is an excellent eating establishment, owned and run by family that understands the difference between serving dinner and providing a dining experience. One of the owners always stops by our table to check how the meal is and you can tell they are genuinely interested in your response. The server Lauren is articulate, gets things done and she is very observant. We were sharing their delicious spinach and artichoke dip and taco like chips with Salsa and sour cream. I was using the back of an unused fork to put the salsa and sour cream on to my chip because I’m not one to bother a busy server with something I can solve on my own. She saw this and asked if I’d like a spoon rather than remark “ OMG! What barn were you raised in?”. 10 seconds later a spoon appeared . I was so impressed. The little things count ! My wife ordered these delicious pieces of lamb which was the Special . My daughter got a perfectly cooked filet mignon . When my wife and daughter’s meals were served , the person that brought them to the table asked them to cut into them to determine if they were cooked as requested. You rarely see this common sense policy and again it speaks of maximizing the dining experience. It is a nuisance to send back food while everyone else continues eating, as they should , otherwise their food gets cold . I had the usual overnight braised short rib , roasted wild mushrooms in a red wine Demi glacé, whipped mashed potatoes and vegetable. Melt in your mouth perfection and the Demi glacé is the best I have ever had! We usually have their delectable desserts but were really full so the server boxed the remaining food . We will continue dining at PCS . Only scratched the service . Make reservations and give it a try. Buon Appetito

Our experience, as usual, was fantastic. Service was impeccable and food preparation was presented amazingly as well as flavor.

The decor was very nice and it was not noisy! That is a huge plus in this day if not even being able to hear your table partners because the restaurant is so loud! Service was friendly and very nice, waiter knowledgeable and able to describe and make recommendations. There is a pleasant outdoor seating area. And most importantly, the food was excellent! I would definitely recommend and we will be returning after a very nice first experience.
