About This Place

Nestled along the picturesque waterfront of Stuart, Florida, Sailor's Return is a standout destination for those craving an exquisite blend of seafood, steakhouse classics, and vibrant live music ambiance. This remarkable restaurant and bar invites guests to indulge in a culinary voyage where fresh coastal flavors meet expertly crafted dishes in a setting that effortlessly combines casual elegance with stunning marina views.

Sailor’s Return’s menu is a celebration of the ocean’s bounty and hearty grill favorites. Signature dishes such as the succulent Lobster Tail, which arrives perfectly baked with drawn butter and crisp seasoned fries, highlight their commitment to quality and flavor. The Firecracker Salmon, glazed with a delightful soy-maple sauce and served atop fragrant coconut rice with seasonal vegetables, offers a vibrant and exotic taste experience. Classic comfort fare like the beer-battered Fish and Chips deliver a nostalgic crunch paired with tangy tartar sauce, all while generous portions ensure every guest leaves fulfilled.

Beyond the main courses, starters such as the elegantly layered Eggplant Stack combining crispy eggplant, creamy Fontina, fresh spinach, prosciutto, and a rich tomato Bordelaise paint a perfect picture of Chef’s artistry. The Smoked Fish Dip, paired with pickled jalapenos and an assortment of crackers, bursts with smoky, savory richness that teases the palate and whets the appetite. For a touch of indulgence, the Parmesan Truffle Fries — tossed in white truffle oil, garlic aioli, and Parmesan — perfectly balance earthiness with buttery decadence.

When it’s time to sweetly conclude the meal, Sailor’s Return delivers delights like their velvety Key Lime Pie, served with fresh strawberries and raspberry sauce, and the delightfully moist Sunset Bay Orange Cake, crowned with a brown sugar graham cracker crunch that provides a satisfying textural contrast. For chocolate lovers, the homemade Peanut Butter Pie layers luscious chocolate ganache atop creamy peanut butter filling — a sublime finish for any dining experience.

Equally notable is the atmosphere at Sailor’s Return. Overlooking a shimmering marina bustling with yachts, the restaurant offers a tranquil yet lively space where guests can enjoy beautiful sunsets and even the occasional dolphin swim-by. The presence of live music adds warmth and vibrancy without overwhelming the intimate dining experience, making it a perfect setting for everything from casual lunches to festive holiday parties and sophisticated rehearsal dinners.

What truly elevates Sailor's Return is the seamless blend of attentive service and genuine hospitality. Returning guests frequently praise the staff for their professionalism and personalized care — whether it’s managing large brunch parties or coordinating intricate private events. The hospitality resonates deeply with diners, creating an inviting environment that makes you feel truly valued and cared for.

From decadent coastal cuisine to a stunning waterfront locale and welcoming, highly praised service, Sailor’s Return presents an exceptional dining escape in Stuart. Whether savoring the Short Ribs and Scallops or enjoying a refreshing Bloody Mary on a sunny Sunday, every moment here feels both memorable and special.

    I almost don’t want to write this because I don’t want competition for a reservation next holiday party! We had a party of 22 for brunch on a Sunday. Tracy the catering manager was great. We’ve been having these parties at a restaurant for many years. The prices and gratuities were in line with what we paid in the past. The service was amazing we had 2 very seasoned servers and Tracy over seeing the party she even thought to provide a gift table even though I totally forgot to ask. The food was impeccable everyone loved everything thing we had from appetizers and salad to the entrees everything was perfect. We never felt rushed or that we had to find someone when anyone wanted anything. I realize I might sound like I know someone there lol but I don’t. They were really that good. The caliber of the service and the food is what one would hope for at a restaurant like the sailor.

    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.

    Great views of the marina and sunset. Sometimes dolphin swim by too. The food is good and portions are large. They bring out fresh, hot rolls and butter before the meal. They have a happy hour menu and seasonal specials. Valet parking is available.

    Sailor's Return helped us to host our Rehearsal Dinner at the end of March. The management was beyond helpful and attentive to detail in coordinating all the details leading up to the event and the serving staff on the day of the event was tremendous! We dined from their catering menu options and had more than enough options to choose from to build a delicious meal with plenty of selections for our 50+ party. Every single member of the staff that served and communicated with our guests left each of us feeling cared for and beyond satisfied! The food was phenomenal, facilities were immaculate, ambiance amazing, and service was prompt and spectacular. We cannot say thank you enough for helping us celebrate!

    Amazing place with a beautiful bay view! We had lunch here and absolutely loved it - ordered calamari and a beet salad, both were incredibly fresh and delicious. The sangria was also amazing - light, refreshing, and perfect for the atmosphere. The view over the water is stunning, and the vibe is cozy and relaxing. We’ll definitely be back!

    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!

    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.
