Went there for Mother's day with oceanside reservations and wasn't seated were we had reservations. Asked the staff including the manager to switch tables for there were empty tables oceanfront and was turned down 3 times. Ordered the Crab bisque and got it with no spoon. When I did get a soup spoon it was cold and it was absolutely horrible bisque. Tasted like baby food ! I've been in the food business for years and have a QFO management license and would not return to this restaurant ever again
Busy, noisy restaurant on the dock. Hard working wait staff. Good food and service. Live entertainment. My only complaint would be the miniscule serving of coleslaw. The fish had a nice, light, crispy batter; not greasy.
Great place on Friday nights. They have started safari club with great music starting at 8pm.
To our delight both our dinners were prepared by a Frist-Class Professional Chef that developed their art far beyond his peers. This meal was delicious and beyond our expectations. We have eaten in several Florida Restaurants this one We rated the amongst the highest! The service was timely, accurate and friendly!
The 16 Chicken Wings order is only 14 wings… just ask why and you’ll get a blank stare and a robotic response of “we will make you 2 more if you want. It’s 26 dollars for an order of 16 but excuse me for counting. The Chicken Avocado Wrap has NO AVOCADO IN IT and that’s just business as usual according to the server. Average quality food and average service. Nice view in the daylight and that’s about all this place good for.
DJ is a great idea. Cover bands never are as good as original music. We always went to the Lounge previously for classic rock and other classic dance music so thought we'd try the new Club Safari. Expected much of the same kind of music we and everyone else always enjoy dancing to (Stones, ZZ Top, Doors, Stevie Wonder, AC-DC, Alabama, Kid Rock, Santana, Joan Jett, other classic rock, along with some classic Reggae, classic Funk, classic motown, classic disco etc- i.e mainly 70's 80's) - as Pirates advertised would be played at Club Safari. Unfortunately, we waited through the whole first set, played way too loud, and heard nothing we recognized, and no classic rock. There was a mix of ages there but the DJ was definitely playing to the younger crowd. I've noticed that most DJ's seem to play newer style music meant for the younger generation- I guess because they think it's hipper and they tend to be younger themselves -which is why we never really bother with places that have DJ's. So we left Club Safari, our ears ringing, and went over to Twisted Tuna who had a band that was playing all the classic music everyone seems to love best- and the mixed crowd there was mostly younger people enjoying that music. There was a mix of ages there but the DJ was definitely playing to the younger crowd. Maybe if they hire a different DJ, or if the same DJ plays mostly classic rock (not so damn loud), we would enjoy Pirates Loft (Club Safari) again as much, or more, than we and many others have for years. Most venues around the area do play classic rock for a good reason- because all ages love it- but Pirates is unique in that the lounge, with it's large dance floor and lighting turned down low, was just about the only venue around that was conducive to put people into a dancing mood (to classic rock). Anyway, I hope Club Safari will start to cater much more towards those who love to dance to classic rock.
Great Old Florida feel. Local entertainment, funky. Down home comfort. Drink from the bottle here and enjoy the hospitality
I have eaten here many times. Sometimes we drive, sometimes by boat. I can't say much about the other items on the menu because whenever we go EVERYONE but the kiddies orders the tacos. Shrimp, Mahi, Grouper!! All are excellent. I'm betting the rest of the fare is superb.
I've been there twice with my friends.The first was a big party on the second floor . We had a great time at the bar. You should try it.
My husband & I went one Friday at Noon and then two weeks later we went with four others. It was very good both times. We sat at the tables facing the marina, upstairs loft and undercover yet open to the water and breezes. The second time we went on a Sunday at 1:30, 2-20-22, which is the height of the season in South Florida. We still got a lovely table overlooking the marina. We shared appetizers of conch fritters (excellent) and guacamole and chips and fish dip with crackers. The guac wasn’t as flavorful as it was the first time, but it was still good. All our main meals were very good: grilled shrimp on a large, mixed salad, mahi reuben (so excellent), French dip, a burger with bleu cheese crumbles that looked delicious and fried shrimp. After dinner we walked around the docks looking at the boats and watching the charter boats come in and clean their fresh catches. Then we joined many others at the ground level Tiki Bar, also facing the marina. Casual and friendly, just like the restaurant upstairs. We liked the singer-guitar player-flautist who was on the deck outside the Tiki bar. We sat at a table and enjoyed our drinks and some tempura shrimp and French fries. The shrimp were large, but a little greasy. We enjoyed the little gift shop next to the Tiki Bar. Bought a shirt and a child’s book. Really my only complaint, both times, was the music in the restaurant dining room. It’s a little too loud and a little too hard rock for me. Our servers, Brenda on first visit and Christy on second, were both excellent. Mel was a very friendly hostess. We live here in Stuart and definitely plan to return very soon.
