This is an over priced loud restaurant. They have a piano player that cannot sing but he thinks he can. He is God awful and really loud. On our bill they had a request for a 30% tip. The only thing good about this loud bar and restauant for senior citizens is the soft, warm rolls they serve. read more

This is an update since 2018. Our party of 6 had a wonderful dinner in every way. From the reservation through the end of our meal everything was perfect! Service, entrees, sunset special and all our meals were great. This is a go-to place if you want consistent quality. read more

Always a special place to enjoy Happy Hour. Great food and courteous staff. A special thank you to Chef David for the delicious clam flatbread you prepared for us tonight. And, our server, Zane was terrific! read more

Really good food and love the outdoor courtyard. The atmosphere is fun and the drinks are good. Great place with a group

Went to Talk House for the first time with two couples for dinner. It was pretty full, there is a parking lot in the back where we found the last open parking place. Friendly atmosphere, well trained staff, and a nice "buzz" greeted us as we went in. We recognized some long time friends dining there, and we knew they only went to "good" restaurants, so we knew this would be a good experience. I ordered the crab stack appetizer for the table, it was fabulous. Their salads were full of interesting additions. We ordered two bouillabaisses and two fish dishes, all came with generous portions and we managed to finish them off, leaving no room for desert. The wine selections were nice and not overpriced. We are definitely planning to bring back other friends to this restaurant in Stuart just north of the Roosevelt Bridge. read more

Love this place. Great food and atmosphere! Staff is very attentive and drinks were fabulous.

What a nice addition to Stuart. It has a great bar area, a new outside patio, entertainment on certain nights and a varied menu. We will definitely be back. read more

If you're looking for an upscale restaurant/bar with a down to earth atmosphere, great food, and service, this is it! Chef Dave will not disappoint. I could seriously eat there everyday! read more

Absolutely love this place. Atmosphere, service and food was all excellent. Nice to have a class A restaurant in this area.

Fine dining on the Treasure Coast!  We wanted a special night out to celebrate our anniversary and Talk:house did not disappoint.  Great drinks, great food, great service.  We both had mixed drinks (cosmo & bourbon old fashioned) and they were among the best we've had.  The crab tower, rack of lamb, stuffed snapper, and key lime brule were all excellent.  And Aubrie, our waitperson, took great care of us, checking in often and anticipating our needs.  It was one of those top notch dining experiences that you so rarely find these days.  We'll definitely be back! read more

Went here for dinner last week, was greeted by a manager. He was very rude to us and couldn't find our reservation. Another guy came up and found it right away. The meal and our server was excellent, another issue of the night the other manager Steve told us we had to get up, because we were sitting for too long. Needless to say we won't be back read more

Wow what a great change from what was there before. The remodel is great light and welcoming and love the outside dining. We bellied up to the bar to check it out. Service was excellent Ashley and Tony were on point and didn't miss a beat. We tried the stuffed mushrooms, salmon roll, meatball,coconut shrimp and the escargot. Hands down the mushrooms were the BOMB mmmm good. The other appetizers were good too but loved the shrooms. Love the happy hour prices will return again to sample the dinners . Looking forward to future meals. This place is a great addition to the area. Yippee read more

My husband and I decided to try someplace new for a quiet, birthday dinner. We will definitely return! The almond crusted Brie and the coconut shrimp appetizers were delicious! The shrimp were so much bigger than we expected. My salmon entree was perfect and my husbands steak was melted in his mouth. Great service and great drinks too! read more

This is a great addition to Martin County Great atmosphere a real bar , live music and the food is excellent read more

The Talk House from Day one has been spot on. Besides Chef David's perfection and attention to details on every lunch and dinner dish that the staff serves up as well as the wine and cocktails in a most professional manner. The servers and bartenders especially Jessica today who is new and fits right in with all of them and reflects a fantastic attitude which is a reflection that they enjoy working here and additional makes the dinning experience even more pleasurable. I cannot leave out mentioning Management who pays attention to every detail. Talk House is definitely worth Talking about!!! read more

My wife & I both love this restaurant. Service is excellent and the food outstanding. The absolute best beef carpaccio I have ever had.

I would like to call this place a hidden hem and it has all the ingredients to be one as it is off the beaten path, the ambiance and entertainment were outstanding and the food was good but it missed the mark on a few points We went on a Saturday night around 8pm with no reservations. We were lucky to get a high top by the door right next to the hostess stand. The two hostesses were talking with a manager ( or owner) and failed to notice that no one had come to the table although we had plenty of time to make all our ordering decisions. Once we asked for a server we got an excellent young woman who knew her wines and was very efficient. Unfortunately the appetizers I had recommended to my sister came quickly but was undercooked ( fried green tomatoes) . The flavor was good but tomatoes were hard. For our next course we shared mushroom fettuccine. It missed the mark as the sauce was a bit heavy handed and could have had more mushrooms and seasoning. The dish included a salad but it failed to come before the entree arrived. Our server was kind enough to wrap it for us. It was my third visit and the other times were just for happy hour. I will return. My opinions are my own but with a few tweaks it could have been better. Love the location and patio is beautiful! The Speakeasy their private area for parties looked fun too! Hope they continue to improve! It could become one of the best new restaurants in Stuart read more

Heard a lot about this place since a lot of our friends eat here regularly. Seemed nice enough. Nice indoor and outdoor space. Music in and out. Staff was friendly. Nice local craft beer choices. We both had Hoplife Nuthouse porter-delicious. We asked our server what the chef selection was for the fish as we were thinking about ordering the fish sandwich and the menu reads- chef selection, Market price. She told us hogfish-we were sold since that is my favorite! We ordered the salmon roll, beet salad, mushroom burger, and the fish sandwich. She reads the order back and mentions mahi... I mention how she told us hogfish and she says no mahi is the fish? She looked confused as if the dolphin is always the fish sandwich so I show her the menu about market price...chef selection..blah blah. She walks away comes back and says they will do the hogfish for the same price as the fish meal (37$). Now, we aren't fussy about cost but come on, a forty dollar sandwich? If the sandwich is always mahi-don"t make us ask and waste 20 minutes on it. This was not an ugly situation or anything just needless...update the menu and be done with it. We decided against the 40 dollar sandwich . The salmon roll and burger were good. The beet salad had too many beets, not enough lettuce and definitely not enough goat cheese which is the highlight of a beet salad. The raspberry vinaigrette was delish though! The fried green tomatoes were too bready. We didn't have a bad time but nothing spectacular about the meal. It's a shame- we wanted to love it. read more

I gave 3 because of the good service, I only talk about what ate or tasted, Caesar salad, very tasty, margarita of the house, you can forget it, crab cake has a strange taste!!!!! Mash potatoes ok, green veggies ok, the lobster sauce very good but too liquid..... pastas with mushrooms, sauce very good, but the pastas not great. And bread is not fresh, microwaved? Very nice place inside outside, parking tricky. Prefer sailor return or Ethan for comparison. read more

Went in for dinner last night, the hostess Natalie was so sweet, really helpful with the menu and drinks! The food was excellent and the service was impeccable. Highly recommend talk house ! read more

We went just for happy hour and appetizers and they were excellent! The bar filled up quickly for happy hour and there are a nice selection of small plates. We ordered the eggplant stack off the appetizer part of menu and it was excellent, filled with spinach and cheese. For our small plates we got the stuffed mushrooms which were our favorite and the coconut shrimp were huge (3) served on plantains. The bar staff were friendly and efficient. We will be back! read more

Talk is one of our favorite restaurants in the Stuart area... Their entrees consistently excel, whether it be seafood, poultry or beef. The portions are filling and the presentations are colorful. Recently I had the "Rack of Lamb", it was excellent, presented in a herringbone pattern of 8 lollipop size ribs over mashed potatoes with a side. Another time, Swordfish, excellent and grilled to perfection. I could go on and on with the many other dishes we've had with a varied array of compliments, but you get the point! Definitely spot on for quality, consistency and value. read more

Service was fine, salad and soup was excellent. The shrimp dish was very good, but the stuffed hogfish had no flavor, was bland at best. We loved Courtines and will give this one another chance. read more

Food was excellent and so was the service. We used go there when it was Courtines and this was the first time as the Talk House and we will definitely return. The outdoor patio is really nice for a relaxing meal and there was a bit of a breeze even on June 1. read more

Always great food and service! The 2.50 Coors Light and Miller Lite aluminum bottles keep me coming back!

We had dinner last night at the Talkhouse Stuart which is the old location of Courtines by the old Roosevelt Bridge. This was a small birthday celebration and management was kind enough to allow us to bring in our own birthday cake that they served it at the end of the meal very graciously. We started with an appetizer of Fried Green Tomatoes which were the best I've ever had! The tomatoes were lightly brown and crispy garnished with bacon bits and peppadew peppers and a delicious sauce. Everybody gobbled it up! We all had martinis and they were served promptly and nice and cold. The service was quite good and efficient. I had requested an outside table and it was delightful sitting on their new large patio. Two of us ordered the baked stuffed hogfish that was very good, stuffed with a mixture of crab and shrimp and lightly dusted with Parmesan cheese breading. Absolutely delicious! Very generous portions. Two of the other people ordered the veal chop which was cooked to Perfection and beautifully dressed with smashed potatoes asparagus and an orchid! All of the entrees included a small salad. The presentation of all of the food served was fantastic! I would recommend this stylish new restaurant but definitely recommend getting reservations in advance. read more

Excellent restaurant, casual classy place near the water, huge bar, food pretty good, outside patio in back looks like a fun place with live music! Will have to go back. Parking tricky. read more

After hearing great things about the new Talk House we decided to give it a try. We were told, go early or you won't get a seat at the bar, which was true. Arrived there at about 4:00 for happy hour and by 4:10 the bar was jammed with standing room only. On their website they boast 4:00 - 6:00 half off drinks, but this is NOT entirely true. It's only half off on house wines, some beers and low end liquor. When I questioned Tony the bartender, he asked someone who I believed to be a manager about it. He rudely responded that the website doesn't say half off drinks. I pulled out my phone and showed it to the bartender. He said he would make management aware that it DOES say half off drinks and doesn't specify that it's only certain drinks. Of course I drank my $11.00 a glass wine because it's what I like. We ordered fried green tomatoes for an appetizer. They were topped with pimento cheese and bacon and served with remolade sauce and they were excellent! We each had gourmet burgers for dinner. I had the Diane, with a creamy mushroom sauce and my husband had the Au Poive. They were served with both French fries and vegetable which was a nice touch. They were both delicious. Outside of the rude manager we had a good experience. However, the website still states half off drinks... read more

The food is excellent! Updated versions of many favorites and not too expensive. Everything is fresh , wonderful favors and cooked to a high degree of perfection . Chef David is an amazing creative knowledge chef . He knows what the foodies want , yet keeps the favors fresh and pleasing to a Diner . Service is professional without the attitude. The ambiance is is casual but sophisticated. read more

Food was delicious! I had the special appetizer which was panko crusted lobster bites with a wonderful dipping sauce! Dinner was also a special which was a lamb shank cooked to perfection!!! Our server was ok. Maybe she was new. Will definitely go back!! read more

We were having a very nice evening and meal here, but then we were told that we had "exceeded our time limit " and we needed to leave our table!! What the hell?!! In all the years we have dined out, this was a first! Completely ruined our (first) visit to this place, and we will definitely not be returning. It's too bad they seem to think that customer service can suffer if they feel they have good food. Guess what? There's plenty of excellent restaurants to choose from out there that appreciate our dollars. read more

For our anniversary, my wife and I tried out the Talk House. We were past patrons of Courtines. A lot has changed. The decor and reworked layout is really very nice. They now have a very large bar area which was what everyone always wanted. They did a great job! Unfortunately all of that initial impression was wasted on the service, food presentation and food preparation. Our meal for 2 was about $100. This was for 2 entrees and 2 drinks. This was about what we expected and is similar to the past. However, the service was not great. They need to spend some time training their staff a bit in mid price dining. I felt the service was similar to what I'd get at Olive Garden or one of the other chains. Not great. The salad came next and actually was good and looked good. They also had a nice bread basket. The entrees, while the ingredients were great, were not visually appealing on the plate and the preparation was very ordinary. It used to be that in Stuart FL you could get away was putting anything on a plate, however there are places like The District, LouRonzos, Riverwalk and a few others, were you'd pay about the same and have a better experience. I'm taking the time to write this review in hope that some changes can be made so we can have another great place in Stuart. read more

Mixed emotions - the new decor is nice and I'm sure, judging from the crowd at the bar they will do well - fortunately the old chefs are still there and the food is still excellent - can't say as much for the wine list - poor selection of wines by the glass - service was nice but like most restaurants now days the young ladies up front were clueless and acted like we were a bother - the new patio dining should be a big hit come better weather - Still I miss Courtines - read more

Really excited to have such a gourmet dining option in our little town. Located just north of the old Roosevelt Bridge in the building where Cortines restaurant used to be. Magnificently redone it's hard to imagine that it's the same building. They had a soft opening on Wednesday which I missed but enjoyed it so much Thursday that I went back Friday for two nights in a row. First night I sat at the bar alone but met some wonderful people and was tended to buy Angela behind the bar. The drinks and the food were fabulous!. The second night I went with my girlfriend and sat at a table and was also fantastic and the food again was fabulous. I can't wait to go again and work my way through the entire menu. So far I had duck breast serve medium rare I believe with a bordelaise sauce and the second night we had scallops with A saffron bur blanc sauce and lamb chops in a port wine demi-glaze. We also loved the beef carpaccio appetizer. I can't even pick what I enjoy the most I guess I'd have to say the scallops were the best I've ever had but the carpaccio I wish I could have right now. Sorry about the pictures we were so excited to get our food that I forgot to take a picture till it was partially eaten. read more

A really nice happy hour with good food during happy hour and even better food for the full menu. The location is really cool as it's on the other side of the bridge and it feels like a local hangout. It's a bit of an older crowd over all. The bar is usually full of regulars and it can be hard to find a seat early. read more

Exactly what Stuart needed! Great atmosphere, Fabulous service and excellent food! Nice wine selection, too.

Like the food& service, but someone needs to maintain the outsife fans before summer hits!!! NO oscillator. Hot and buggy!

Great dinner with friends tonight. Our first visit there since it was Courtines. Staff was great and our waiter, Matt, was very attentive. We were pleasantly surprised and will be returning soon! read more

Great food and a nice atmosphere need to get a little help with that hostessed and some work with the waitresses they walk by your table four times with the salad plate empty in front of you and they do not pick it up you have to ask them to please take it it's a little weak for restaurant charging $150 dinner for two and its is not a busy night but the food is so good I will definitely be going back again and again read more

This is The Best Restaurant to go to! Food is fantastic and the atmosphere is upscale chic and sophisticated!!!! Live piano player inside and live entertainment outside. Make sure to make reservations! read more
