Stuart Boathouse

If you’re craving the full-on waterfront experience, head to the Stuart Boathouse and drink in the view of the St. Lucie River available from every seat. The building has a long history dating back to the 1920s, with incarnations as a hotel, an assisted living facility, and a law office before it was beautifully transformed into a restaurant. The extensive menu includes a range of fresh, seasonal seafood and a collection of signature sushi rolls. 49 SW Seminole St., Stuart; 772.266.4586
