Project typeRiverfront Dining Destination
Project schedulePhase 1: September 2025 - February 2027

The Port River Food Garden ROOFTOP concept

Located along the picturesque St. Lucie River, The Grove will feature a total of seven restaurants offering a variety of full-service dining, casual food offerings and bars.

In January 2023, the City Council approved a long-term lease agreement with an organization that could bring a riverfront restaurant concept to life in The Port District.

At the June 23, 2025 Community Redevelopment Agency meeting, representatives from SūDā – the organization developing the riverfront restaurants element of The Port District – announced a partnership with nationally acclaimed hospitality company, Atlas Restaurant Group. The Atlas Group, which operates more than 56 restaurants nationwide, will operate The Grove venues.

Phase 1

Construction of the first phase of the project, which will include three dining venues and two bars, is scheduled to begin September 2025 with an anticipated opening date of February 2027. The second phase will offer two additional casual dining venues, with construction expected to begin once phase one is operational.

The five restaurants debuting in phase one include:

Salt River Restaurant, St. Lucie River Gastronomy: A coastal-inspired dining experience including rooftop dining overlooking the river.
Italian Disco: A pizzeria, bar and restaurant infusing old-school flavor and modern energy.
Kannon: Offering a bold menu that features sushi, bento boxes and fresh Japanese cuisine crafted with precision and artistry.
The Grove Bar: Showcasing local craft beers and signature cocktails, surrounded by lush landscaping.
"Tequi" Bar: A bold take on the traditional tiki bar, specializing in artisan, tropical drinks with a tequila twist.

“The Grove is designed to be a fun, welcoming place where people can enjoy great food, connect with friends and family, and take in the beauty of the river,” said Jennifer Davis, Community Redevelopment Agency Director for the City of Port St. Lucie. “We’re excited to bring these innovative dining experiences to residents that will continue to make The Port District a vibrant waterfront destination.”
