Sailors Return - Stuart (FL)

4 /5 Tomeeko Mitchell: Show my wife and I visited Sailors Return with some friends of ours. I’m a pretty honest critic when it comes to food because I’m a foodie I love eating all types of food and I love sharing with people so they get a clear picture of what they’re walking into or what they’re not walking into when they look at my reviews so I’m gonna be honest the smoked fish dip was absolutely amazing. The black and shrimp tacos was absolutely amazing. My wife and our friends tried the chicken salad sandwich on a croissant. The chicken salad was dry with that being said it really wasn’t that good we’ve had better but overall the atmosphere was amazing. We sat on the patio adjacent to the marina. The views are absolutely stunning. There’s a boardwalk that after you eat, you can walk up and down and experience the marina for yourself. The reason I gave Service a three was because our server was very forgetful. I’ve never had a server so forgetful and it was just stating obvious like he couldn’t remember what my drink order was. He couldn’t remember what we ordered to eat if I have to guess I know he asked us at least four times to repeat our order and that’s very frustrating when you’re trying to enjoy the ambience and your friends that you’re sitting with and enjoy conversations so overall I gave the restaurant a four if the chicken salad had been a little bit better the server had been more attentive. They couldn’t have. They could’ve gotten a five not saying it’s not a five but my experience was a four so with that being said, if you’re in the area, give them a try you may have a 5 Star experience.

5 /5 Kimberly F: This is one of our favorite restaurants when we are in town & my friend’s favorite spot that lives here. The seafood selection never disappoints. My husband & I were both so happy that they still had our favorite dishes from last time. Mine is the Pineapple Snapper with coconut rice and pineapple rum sauce, talk about exceeding my Caribbean taste buds. I don’t know what it is about their Shrimp Alfredo but my husband talked about this dish a-lot the last time we were here a few years back so he kept saying he really hopes they still have this here which they did and he still enjoyed it. Our friends both ordered from the Summer Pre Fixed Menu that comes with an appetizer, entree & desert. One ordered the Grilled Salmon Piccata & the other got the Short Rib & Shrimp. We love dining outside on the covered patio while enjoying the cool breeze and views from the harbour. Taking pictures by the dock is always a must! Especially during sunset. Glad to see our favorite FL restaurant is holding up to their good reputation.

5 /5 Adventurer: Terrific dinner. I had the tuna which was outstanding. Very nice portion. My daughter has the chicken. It was a little on the dry side. Staff is very good. Location provides a nice view of all the boats. Of course, very good band next to the outdoor bar.

4 /5 Karavoulias Chris (BostonGreekGeek): My wifes parents took us there for dinner. While the food wasnt exceptional it was good, you wont be disappointed, but what is exceptional is the service. Not only do they bring you water as soon as you sit, which is always something to look out for at any restaurant you go to, they make sure to always have your glass full and they were doing the same with my soda. The waiter even asked me to make sure the meat was medium as I had requested so he could tell the kitchen if not. Very friendly and always around and easy to find if you ever need anything. Very large restaurant and for parking I would recommend to use their valet parking as it is quite busy if your go for dinner (Florida hours . So early dinner because by 730 the restaurant had plenty of seats). They also had live music and plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. If you are from colder environments like I am from Massachusetts, you will feel ok outdoors, but if you are used to Florida weather, you may think sitting outdoors is cold for you :). I honestly was impressed by how good the service is and at some point I saw a little sign saying how they pay their servers fair wages with a 401k and proper insurance and that 18% is already included in the price so tipping more is optional, and then it made sense to me. Thats what you get when employees like where they work. I was a waiter for years and can attest to this. I would go back there when we come back to visit my wifes parents.

5 /5 rocky 22: Defo recommend making some reservations, and also using the Valet. We sat on the outside deck in August, so weather was a bit humid but still nice. So much fun to enjoy an amazing meal and drinks and watch the boats. The service was great, thanks to our server for being so courteous!
