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

The Port River Food Garden ROOFTOP concept

Located along the scenic St. Lucie River, The Grove will showcase multiple unique venues, offering everything from full-service dining and casual bites to curated bar experiences.

In January 2023, City Council approved a long-term lease agreement to bring this riverfront restaurant concept to life in The Port District. At the Community Redevelopment Agency meeting on June 23, representatives from SūDā, the developer of the riverfront dining component, announced a partnership with the nationally acclaimed hospitality company Atlas Restaurant Group. Atlas, which operates more than 50 dining concepts across Maryland, Delaware, Texas, Pennsylvania, and Florida, will provide operational support for the venues.

Phase 1

Construction on 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 early 2027. The second phase will offer two additional casual dining venues, with construction expected to begin once phase one is operational.

The five venues debuting in phase one include:

Salt River, a 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.”
