Chris D’annas

I had the ducks this time it was great. The wife had the stuffed shrimp. Love this place, it’s a must do if you want a good meal is Stuart

Dinner was excellent. Had only had lunch before and found the food great. So, when the opportunity arose, I took my family for dinner.
I had mushrooms for appetizer and sausage soup. Then Chicken Parmesan for the main course. Finished it off with a sampling of great deserts. Ate for two more days on the leftovers. Really enjoyed this place and will return.

I have been to this restaurant a few times before and the food is good and wine prices are reasonable. Service is very pleasant and attentive. Had the lamb chops last night and although tasty, they were quite fatty leaving very little meat to enjoy. Another chop would have provided just the right amount of meat. Also, had the salmon with the mushrooms. Unfortunately the salmon was overcooked, the mushroom cranberry topping was underwhelming and the green beans very undercooked. Feel like the chef was being lazy. Also had the asparagus appetizer. Nothing wrong with the ingredients but it just was not very interesting. If I come back, it will be in the off season. The noise level is ridiculous.

Came here with on the advice of a neighbor. This place is excellent. the food was fabulous, the staff attentive, will be a repeat diner again and again. To call this Italian is misleading as they have all sorts of dishes. I had one of the best steak au provre I have ever had. The steak was cooked perfectly and well trimed. Don’t overlook the mussels. FABULOUS! Don’t miss out on this gem.

Great restaurant. Highly recommended. Looking forward to going back again.

Went with my wife, two daughters and parents last night. Food was fabulous, service very good and wine was reasonably priced. We had mussels, duck, a prime steak and grouper with shrimp. Everything was excellently prepared and tasted wonderful. Don’t pass up the duck or the mussels. Apparently, they are the house specialties and live up to the hype. The wine list is reasonable, but the food isn’t cheap. It is small, a little noisy, but a great atmosphere overall.

Good food, wine and service but the noise level was terrible. Great place to eat alone or if you don’t want to talk to anyone at your table.
Second visit, don’t remember this before.

Found a new, delicious restaurant last night. Chris D’Anna’s on SE Federal hwy just south of Cove road. Food was delicious and fresh, atmosphere was so pleasant and relaxing, and the service was excellent. Give it a try you won’t be sorry!

Adorable place! First time was amazing. Second time wasn’t as amazing but still great. The duck was a bit over done. The service is fantastic. Great place for a date! I’ll definitely keep coming back

Seriously good food at this little place. Make a reservation to make sure you can get in — it will be totally worth it! I had the chicken with Brie, mushrooms and apple slices… divine. My husband had the salmon topped with jumbo shrimp with a balsamic reduction over wilted spinach. Wow, both were interesting and delicious! For the starch of the day, I had the sweet potato flan (more like a mousse)…so sweet and good, I could have had it for dessert!

Amazing meal… Service was wonderful. My chicken was unbelievable as well as the veal. Absolutely a must restaurant to go to… and again and again. Best in Stuart.

My wife and I come here every week or two. The food is always great and the service is excellent. It is obvious that the owners take care to properly train their staff. Why eat at Duffy’s when you can get an early bird for the same price or less and the food is so much better. Chef David also makes great soups. When he makes the roasted onion soup I get a container to bring home. My major complaint is that he does not make it often enough. When we have guests we generally bring them here and have never had a complaint.
I do not know why this is listed as an Italian restaurant. While it has some italian entrees but the overwhelming number of entrees are not Italian.

Overall a very enjoyable experience. The service was impeccable and the food was very good as well. I had the stuffed mushrooms and a pumpkin seed-​crusted chicken topped with spinach and goat cheese. I enjoyed both very much.
The restaurant is definitely quiet, with an older crowd. The menu is surprisingly devoid of any pasta or pizza dishes, which we were expecting to see when coming to an Italian place. Regardless, we still had a very pleasant time.

its a lovely restaurant. The food is good, portions are generous, staff is friendly. They obviously have alot of regulars that they adore and take care of… here is why they didn’t get more stars from me: I visit the area maybe once a year, we always come here, ALWAYS with a reservation, always have to wait no matter what night. Its obvious that we are being bumped for a regular that DOESNT have reservations… just not quite fair. will I come back — sure. will I wait… sure.

We have been wanting to eat here forever and finally did last night. Why we waited so long to eat here is beyond me. The atmosphere is wonderful, the food amazing, and the service impeccable. You must, must, must, try this place.

Went here with someone who goes often. They wanted to take me because they said they loved the food here. I agree — the food was outstanding.
I had one of the specials — grouper in a champagne sauce. The sauce seemed a little thin at first glance, but once you started dipping either the grouper the potatoes or the asparagus in the sauce you realize it is perfect.
My friend had a chicken dish that had brie, apples and browned mushrooms over it. Her dish was delicious too.
This was one of those meals that half way through you start planning what your last three bites are going to be because you want to savor those last bits.
Glad she shared her favorite spot with me — can’t wait to go back.

Consistently excellent food, pleasant service and great wine list. Don’t miss the chicken breast with champagne sauce.

Excellent food, great service, not a complaint at the table.

The food at this place rocks! I never would order duck. I did and it was crazy good. My wife had the filet mignon, and it was fork cutting steak. Need I say more. Great wines. Ask for help on selection.

This is a difficult review, as I generally try to support the local businesses, particularly those that bring great dining to this area.
Chris D’annas is a favorite of my great aunt, so I have been twice over the past year. Each time I have found aspects of the meal I really enjoyed, but overall found the total experience lacking, particularly at their price point.
The service has seemed harried on both visits. Terse, uninformed about the menu, and generally acting like they (the server) are doing you (the diner) a favor by bringing you the bread and water instead of making you go get it yourself. During my visit last week, we waited uncomfortably with our menus while waiting to have our order taken, didn’t get a bread basket until our entrees were brought, and frequently had empty water glasses. Our waitress did not know where their duck was from and didn’t offer to go find out, and considering it’s one of their specialties, I don’t think that’s asking too much.
I stuck with one of the veal fillets, which was accompanied by some delicious fried eggplant, mushrooms, and mozzarella cheese. It was wonderful, and I wanted to scrape every bit of the scrumptious sauce from my plate. However, I couldn’t do that, because I had no spoon and because the veal came on it’s own plate, with a separate plate for the two included sides (mashed potatoes –sauceless, and asparagus-​steamed). The sides seemed like a complete afterthought and did not go with the dish at all. Some lovely crusty bread or a bowl of pasta would have been much better complements. Additionally, my dad asked to skip the potatoes and instead get a double order of asparagus, which turned out to be exactly 10 skinny spears instead of five.
For Italian food in Stuart, I think that Mario’s has the market covered much more deliciously and consistently. The only reason I could see returning to Chris D’annas would be for the ambiance.
