The Talk House - Stuart

Started out great tonight. Awesome atmosphere. Excellent menu. We were so excited for dinner. Sat at the bar as we always do no mater where we dine. Got our first cocktail and appetizer..Then 30 minutes go by and can't get a 2nd drink or order dinner. Another 15 minutes to just get someone's attention to get our bill. Never asked if we wanted another drink even after we told them we wanted to order our dinner. I will definitely try again because there food looked amazing if we ever could have order. Very disappointing evening. Really wanted the Beef Carpaccio and Short Ribs

I have been here a few times over the past few years since they opened and was never amazed by the food. My boyfriend and I went again this past weekend and won't be going back. I really really wanted to like the place since it is walking distance from his house and the parking at the restaurant is limited. But for the price, the food was not excellent. A simple vegetable pasta was $26 and to add shrimp was $16.... so you better knock my socks off if I am paying $42 for pasta. Granted, the portions were large so I did have leftovers, but it wasn't that good so I didn't even want to eat the leftovers. And my boyfriend's jumbo shrimp were overcooked and tough. The choice of appetizers for someone that doesn't eat meat was limited. The things I would usually like (eggplant stack, stuffed mushrooms, fried green tomatoes) all had meat added. Our meals also came out while we were still in the middle of eating our appetizer so we felt rushed. Like I said, if you are going to be charging these prices, you need the service and atmosphere that goes along with it, which includes timing the food and not having sports fans yelling at the bar. The lights were way too bright and finally got dimmed at like 9pm, as we were leaving. Definitely not worth the money if you are looking for a nice dining experience.

Chef Dave is a James Beard award winner and it shows in every yummy dish! Our family has been a fan for years. His staff is knowledgeable and attentive and with Bobby tinkling the ivories on the Grand Piano, the atmosphere is perfection. Very clean and elegant place. I had my husbands birthday party there on the patio and everything was beautiful, delicious and we all had fun.

Went on a Saturday night and it was great. Reccomend making a reservation for sure!!! Large menu with a ton of specials as well. They have a full bar plus local craft beer options. I had the Filet and it was DELICIOUS! While pricey, it was one of the best cooked and flavored steaks I've had in a while. Definitely will be back to check out happy hour and try all the different appetizers.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE!! The service was great from start to finish. Lisa was our waitress and was just so kind and helpful all the way around!! The food was fresh and delicious. I got the stuffed Florida lobster which was on special. Chef Dave brought it out to me himself and it was just perfect! My husband got the rack of lamb which was also so tender and very well cooked. Great atmosphere… great chef specials. We will definitely be returning. Great job to the staff !!!
