I stayed here in February as they were just opening and wanted to write a review then, but was unable because the page wasnt up and running. The staff at the Beachfront Inn were extremely accommodating and friendly. They really made me, my friend, and my dog feel right at home and were excited to tell us about the area, even walking with us to the bar next door (they too have a bar) so that we could get the full Fort Pierce feel, those rum runners really hit hard Liz! We felt like we were staying with friends and were as sad to leave the people as we were the beach. While we were there, we enjoyed beautiful sunrises over the Atlantic from our balcony and phenomenal sunsets over the inlet itself from the entry balcony by the door. We walked "the jetty" which juts out into the Atlantic and watched fishermen catching fish and saw dolphins and manatee. There were two other restaurants in the immediate area and another bar. You could walk to another beach bar or up the road along the inlet to a variety of places for dining, drinking, or renting kayaks and paddle boards. Kite Boarders seem to frequent the area and were fun to watch doing tricks. The beach itself was kept natural and had lots of pretty shells. I can see how some people might want a more "manicured" beach, but there are plenty of those in the area and it seemed that this beach was a better habitat for wildlife and had very healthy dunes. It was a beautiful place to hang out, but a little chilly to swim in February. They had racks for kayaks and other things at the hotel and I assume that those would be available soon for guests to use, or rent, or something. The room itself was very nicely appointed, with a wet bar area, microwave, refrigerator and REAL coffee maker, with coffee, actual coffee mugs, real glass water glasses, paper towels, can opener, and so on already in the room. They loaned us a cutting board, knife, and some wine glasses from the bar as well, so we felt like we were staying at a five star facility. They had nice touches, like real wood blinds, lovely linens, good quality furniture and televisions, and a relaxing and beach-y decor that was NOT cheesy or overdone. Overall, we were very happy in our room and spent quite a lot of time there, despite the allure of all the nearby activities. We loved the bar and restaurant as well. We saw several enjoyable live bands in the evening, met some cool locals, played corn-hole, and ate some killer fish tacos (they were on special). The fish was incredibly fresh. The service from the wait staff was sometimes spotty, but the bartenders were right on point the whole time, taking very good care of us and making lots of good suggestions. The dance hall theme that seems to take over late night on the weekends was a little odd, but you could not hear it in your room and seemed to be loved by the locals, definitely making the place some money which they seem to be pumping right back in to improving the property. We really enjoyed listening to the waves and hanging out by the fire-pits in the evening when it got chilly. This was a FANTASTIC vacation spot for someone who wants to combine beach relaxation with lots of nearby opportunities for eating,drinking, music and dancing!

Went there to check it out after the renovations and Gordon Ramseys visit. Walked around. Its nice inside. Drinks are severely overpriced probably to make up for the debt this place is in. The food is overpriced. I ordered ONE ITEM and they got it wrong. Ordered a run runner to go. Bartender made it a double which I didnt want and charged me for it so I didnt tip. I also went here a couple months before Gordon Ramsey and the renovations and was charged a gender fee for entry like it was a high end club in Los Angeles. I dont understand why they charged me for my p*nis. The bar was dirty and the picnic tables were sticky. The music was rediculously loud club music. The crowd was rowdy and wouldnt stop yelling. Two people were also shot here it got so bad. This place has completely transformed the jetty for the worst. It now has a bluesy crowd Friday and Saturday nights and the parking lot reeks of reefer now. Police are typically parked outside this place regularly now. I miss when this place wasnt there and the place you got drinks at was the Jetty bar and you could get food at hurricane wings or the blue water grill next door. Cant wait for the square grouper!!!!!!!!!! Do yourself a favor and watch Gordon Ramseys hotel hell about this place before you eat there.

Well! Right off the bat they didnt have enough menus. When the menus came they looked like they have been through the ringer. Nasty and wrinkled! We should have known that that was a sign of things to come. Took forever to get our order put in, and the waitress was about one brick short of a load. She took our order then went to two other tables and then came back to our table , got her order pad out again, and then she realized that she had already taken our order. Completely clueless and she messed up our order. The blue cheese dressing that came with the wings was ranch dressing with blue cheese crumbles at the bottom of the container. My wife didnt even get salad dressing with her meal, we had to ask. They forgot my house salad and I had to ask for it. Then at the end of the meal she didnt have enough change for the cash I gave her. Place needs new management!!!!!!!!!!!

HORIBBLE> DO NOT COME HERE. My wife, Jamie and I left without an apology or leaving a tip. We sat down and there were two yapping dogs barking at us as we sat down. The dog owners made an attempt to shut the up but they kept barking at everyone that passed. Jamie got a Shocktop beer that was flat... we ordered the shrimp cerviche that had zero flavor at all... and those nasty little yapping dogs kept barking the whole time. I asked the waitress if this was a "dog friendly" bar and she said yes while looking at the two yapping dogs and making no move to stop them. I told her to bring my check we were leaving because we did not want to eat in a kennel. Rather than shut up or ask the dogs to leave little miss waitress was happy to see us go. NO TIP, MISSY was deliberate.

This place is amazing!! We went for the badfish concert and it was our first time here. Of course we watched Hotel Hell with Gordon Ramsey and we were expecting the worst! However the atmosphere was amazing, the place was extremely clean and the drinks were beyond perfection !! We ended up upgrading our tickets to the VIP section for the personal cocktail waitress and the seating as more people arrived. This made our experience beyond amazing!!! We could sit comfortably, see the stage clearly, and got perfect drinks brought right to us. The staff, bar staff and waitresses were so kind, sweet and welcoming. We felt right at home there and now that weve found this place we will be back time and time again to escape responsibility and enjoy the Florida lifestyle !! Great job guys!!!
