   I grew up in Stuart and when I visit I always like to try out the new restaurants; the menu looked appealing, so I took my mother and girlfriend here last weekend for a belated Mother’s Day brunch. I ordered the Pork Belly Benedict, but also sampled everyone else’s brunch. Here’s what we ordered: Crack sandwich - By far the best dish out of the three we ordered! The candied bacon and the herb potatoes were fantastic. I highly recommend! Pork Belly Benedict - The pork belly and hollandaise did not provide much flavor, and so the flavor of the salsa matcha (a thin, spicy chili sauce) dominated the dish. The waffle was rather dense but probably the best thing on the plate. Not what I was expecting, but not bad either. Crab Benedict - Aside from the tomatoes and lettuce, this dish was inedible (and unfortunately it was what my mother ordered). A hard-poached egg was requested but an oily and very overcooked fried egg was what we received (See photo), the “everything seasoned whole avocado” was liquefied for some reason, and the “fresh jumbo lump crab” was a fishy, dense, deep-fried crab meatball that made an otherwise light dish unnecessarily heavy. Not good. The service was slow, even though they didn’t seem busy and we arrived right when they opened for brunch at 11am, and our server was nowhere to be found on several occasions and never brought the ketchup my girlfriend asked for for her potatoes. I regret not saying anything about the Crab Benedict and the ketchup, but at the time we all just wanted to leave. This place certainly has potential; I’m hoping we just ordered the wrong dishes and the execution and quality of service will improve over time.

   Food was delicious and amazing!! Only downside to the experience was our waitress not following up once the food arrived. Not a “how’s the food” or “can I get you another drink”. Once we were done eating it’s when she came to ask if we were done or wanted dessert.

   Hi Omar, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the food and ambiance—it means a lot to us to know that the flavors and atmosphere hit the mark for you. That said, I sincerely apologize for the lapse in service you experienced. Attentiveness is a core part of the Pez Vela experience, and it’s clear we fell short during your visit. I’ll be following up with our team to ensure we’re consistently checking in with guests throughout their meal, not just at the beginning and end. We really appreciate your honest review—it helps us grow and improve. I hope we’ll have the chance to welcome you back soon for a more seamless experience from start to finish. Warm regards, Owner, Pez Vela

   Dinner was amazing. Really appreciated that chef accommodating a special request on the preparation of my meal. They really did a nice job making it special for my partners birthday with an incredible desert. The band was fantastic.

   Pez Vela - Stylish Spot with Great Service and Fresh, Creative Fare We recently tried Pez Vela and were impressed by the beautiful ambiance—thoughtful decor, stylish touches, and a patio that feels inviting and relaxed. The service was truly top-notch, attentive without being overbearing. The food is clearly high-quality: fresh ingredients, beautifully plated, and creative combinations that reflect both sushi and Latin/South American influences. While we appreciate innovative cuisine and love both sushi and Latin flavors, we found that some of the flavor profiles didn’t quite align with our personal palate. That said, it’s absolutely worth trying for yourself—especially if you’re looking for something a little different and adventurous. We’re glad we went and enjoyed the experience.

Creating a space that feels both stylish and welcoming is something we’re proud of, and it’s great to know that came through in your visit. We also really appreciate your honest feedback about the flavor profiles. We understand that our menu leans into adventurous territory by blending sushi with Latin and South American influences—it’s not always for everyone, but we’re so glad you gave it a try with an open mind. Thank you again for visiting, and we hope to welcome you back in the future for another creative dining experience. Warm regards, Owner, Pez Vela

   Had a great "K Strings" cocktail, and 4 courses (sushi roll, seared scallops, miso mole pork belly, banana creme brûlée) with a glass of white and glass of red wine. Very high quality wine list, great server comped my dessert. Service charge of 16% is included in bill and I added another $20 to the tip for the friendly service and comped dessert. About $200 all in which on my scale is moderate for fine dining.

   A Must-Visit Gem in Stuart – 5 Stars All the Way! Pez Vela is nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we walked in, we were blown away by the vibrant atmosphere, the impeccable service, and most of all, the incredible food. The fusion kitchen is a creative masterpiece, blending flavors and presentation in ways that are both surprising and delightful. Some standout dishes we can’t stop thinking about were the hamachi and the Japanese eggplant—both bursting with flavor and perfectly executed. We started the evening at the bar, where Frank treated us like royalty with top-notch cocktails and warm hospitality. Once we moved to our table, Roberto continued the five-star experience, providing attentive, seamless service throughout the meal. If you haven’t been to Pez Vela yet, run—don’t walk! This place is a true culinary treasure in Stuart, and we can’t wait to go back.

   The food was excellent, with interesting combinations and robust flavors. All fresh and delicious. Unfortunately the loud techno music was not what we were looking for on Mother’s Day. We were planning to sit on the patio but we moved inside to a separate side room. The server was very accommodating and had the music turned down for us. My elderly parents and my sensory sensitive son could not handle the bass thumping. It felt very odd in a fine dining atmosphere. It’s not on Southbeach. It will definitely hinder our return. As for price, we paid a little more than $450 for seven of us. Spendy, but better than most places we have tried in the area.
