A new waterfront restaurant has opened along the St. Lucie River in Martin County.

Waterfront Sailfish Lounge & Grill, which is owned by Derik Shambaugh and Jim Corrigan, opened Feb. 10 in the location that formerly housed Mulligan’s Beach House Bar & Grill in downtown Stuart.

The menu features a raw bar with smoked seafood dip with cowboy candy and grilled crostinis ($16), jumbo shrimp cocktail ($23) and oysters on the half-shell (market price).
