After much research (including Trip Advisor & Yelp) and many visits from our team, lots of surveys and calls; we have named our top restaurants for this year:
* Fernando’s Dockside Grille
Fernando’s Dockside Grille was the top pick for Trip Advisor, Yelp and e-Restaurants.org and it offers a great selection of Portuguese and Mediterranean dishes. Inside this quaint, newly constructed Spanish colonial building, there is about a dozen tables dressed in all white, some of which are located on the cobblestone patio next to the Saint Lucie River. Highly recommended from the menu by most surveyed is the bacalhau a braz, consisting of a boneless, salted cod finely flaked and battered with thin fried potatoes, scrambled eggs and extra virgin Portuguese olive oil, garnished with kalmata olives and roasted peppers. Pair this with a local Portuguese beer or wine.
* West End Grill
West End Grill was another one of our top picks and is a family owned and operated restaurant that provides a most pleasant experience. With incredibly comfortable indoor and out outdoor patio seating that only adds to the complete dining experience, whether you are enjoying sunday brunch, lunch or dinner.
The menu features Daily Chef Specials from the land and sea, exotic fish from around the world, lamb, veal, great steaks & the best risotto in Saint Lucie county.
The in house dessert specials such as creme brule, funnel cake sundae and key lime pie will surely tempt your taste buds, finish off your meal with a cup of cappuccino, latte or expresso and we bet you will be coming back for more.
* Sushi Goma
Sushi Goma is one more top pick and is an absolute must if you are in Port Saint Lucie; the location is tucked away in a strip mall near the intersection of Bayshore and Port Saint Lucie Drive.. Everyone is extremely friendly and the food is beyond fresh and super delicious. The quality and freshness of the fish and variety are great. The Chef is a complete Sushi Master!
