Stuart, FL

With all of the negative news hitting the press, it's nice to see something this positive. Vought Aircraft Industries is planning on adding 100 permanent jobs at their Stuart, Florida facility. This will include building a $3.2 million dollar facility at their Witham Field location. The jobs planned are 60% mechanical and 40% professional. And there is a program that will train high school and college students for some of these positions. This is truly a win-win for everyone.

Instead of just giving you post after post about the business and serious end of real estate in Florida, I will spice it up with some fun things at least once a week. So here is a piece about restaurants in my backyard. If you have any restaurants you want to add . . . or if you have any ideas of things you want me to write about, please email me Mike@FloridaHomes.PRO

There are so many fine restaurants in Stuart and the surrounding area. Here are a few of my favorites . . . and a few you might want to avoid.

Seafood - The New England Fish Market - I grew up on the Jersey Shore and worked on fishing boats till I went off to college. When it comes to seafood, I am the pickiest of the picky. And with my family being in the restaurant business for 30+ years, I can tell you this is the best seafood restaurant I have ever found. Just minutes from Stuart in Jensen Beach - 1419 NE Jensen Beach Blvd., Jensen Beach, FL 34957 - (772) 334-7324

Seafood, Local and Waterfront - Shrimpers - Dine on the water in scenic Manatee Pocket. Great food and great views while you dine on the water. If you like cracked conch, this is the best you'll find on the Treasure Coast. But you will also find a variety of Florida and local favorites. Yum, Yum, Yum. - 4903 SE Dixie Highway, Stuart - (772) 220-3287

Pizza and Italian - Luna's in downtown Stuart - 80 SW Osceola Street - (772) 288-0550

Local Seafood - Conchy Joe's - STOP - Don't Go - turn around and go somewhere else. Even though Conchy Joe's is located on the Indian River and has great atmosphere, it has horrible service and the food ranges from questionably edible to basically fair. On rare occasion they hit on all cylinders and deliver a good meal and good service.

Nature's Way Cafe - For a healthy and hearty lunch go to Nature's Way for great food, relaxing atmosphere and great service in downtown Stuart - 25 SW Osceola Street - (772) 220-7306

Duffy's Sports Grill - Best burgers and all around great food. Also in downtown Stuart - 1 SW Osceola Street - (772) 221-4899

Fine Dining - 11 Maple Street - One of my favorite fine dining restaurants in the world is right here on the Treasure Coast. The quality of the food rivals any five start restaurant in the world. Best of all, the atmosphere is casual and relaxed, just the way we like it on the Treasure Coast - 11 Maple Street, Jensen Beach - (772) 334-7714

Breakfast and Lunch - Jan's Place - The BEST omelets on the Treasure Coast and a great variety of lunch sandwiches. - 1897 NE Jensen Beach Blvd. (772) 334-9598

Ice Cream, Candy Apples, Fudge and Chocolates - Kilwin's is the only place to go, and it is in downtown Stuart at 31 SW Osceola Street just a few doors down from Nature's Way - (772) 223-6446 - My favorites include their scrumptious toasted coconut ice cream and Stuart mud. For a bit of nostalgia, bite into one of their juicy, crunchy and very tasty gourmet candy apples.

Steak - Peter's Steak House - Unfortunately, another STOP - Don't Go - turn around and go somewhere else. They want you to believe that this is just as good as THE Peter Luger's in New York and they buy the same meat, etc. but my experience has been awful. You'll get a better steak at Outback. And if that was not enough, the service was horrible.

Thai - Bangkok Bay - Consistently good Thai food and service. Thai is one of my favorites, so I can't say this one is world class, but it is far better than the local options. There curry sauces are outstanding, and I have never had a bad meal here. I take clients here on a regular basis, because I can depend on consistently good food, service and value - 1833 SE Federal Highway (US 1) - (772) 286-2141‎

Deli - TooJay's - It's definitely not New York quality, but it's the best you will find on the Treasure Coast. For breakfast, try the Lox, Eggs and Onions Omelet with toasted Challah. 2504 SE Federal Highway, Stuart - (772) 287-6514

I will add to the list over the next few weeks. If you are visiting the area and want a few more of my favorites or want to ask about a restaurant, feel free to call or email me - Mike@FloridaHomes.PRO or 772-260-5448

Arguably one of the best neighborhoods in Stuart FL, Snug Harbor was the vision of a group of 10 Yachtsmen, many former Commodores of the Chicago Yacht Club back in 1943. They bought the land and platted the area in September 1944 as well as forming the Snug Harbor Corporation, which controlled the ownership of the lots.

In 1975 the deeds were distributed and/or sold to the then owners and a condominium form of ownership was established. With both waterfront and non-waterfront homes and estates and located just minutes away from the ocean by boat or car and also convenient to downtown Stuart, offices, restaurants and recreational areas, Snug Harbor is one of the finest communities in Martin County.

There are only 72 home sites in Snug Harbor. All residents have access to a club house with exceptional cooking facilities. There is a recently dredged (6' at low tide) deep water marina only minutes away from the Saint Lucie inlet with access to the Atlantic and the Bahamas which are less than a day's trip away. Along with the deep water slips, there is also ample boat trailer parking and a private launch ramp. Two championship tennis courts and a children's playground also available in the common areas.

Snug Harbor has numerous get togethers throughout the year creating a wonderful friendly family atmosphere. Pot luck dinners, Christmas Hay ride and caroling, and much, much more. This is truly a wonderful place to live.

For information about homes in Snug Harbor, as well as the surrounding areas, call Gabe Sanders, Commodore of the Snug harbor Yacht Club as well as a Realtor.
