    Food and service are extraordinary. 2 of us had the Duck bReast - fabulous and 2 had Salmon - so delicious. Although there are open areas the heaters kept quite pleasant

    The Dock is indeed a special dining experience and met every expectation of our evening welcoming our daughter and husband home for a visit. All for us us ordered the Halibut with the risotto....delicious! Cocktails are generous pours. Delicious food, great service made for a beautiful evening. Love the ambience of The Dock. Our thanks to the entire staff and the great chef.

    Once again, a fantastic meal and experience! Eric and staff treated us like family. The octopus starter was the bomb. We always look forward to coming to The Dock and have never been disappointed.

    The ambiance and service were fantastic - perfect place to celebrate a special ocassion! We shared the ahi tuna, halibut (fish of the day), and duck. Both the ahi and halibut were spectacular, however we weren’t really fans of the duck (this was probably more of a personal preference rather than quality or execution of the dish. If there had been a filet on the menu we would have definitely ordered that). When the server found out it was my gf’s birthday, she brought out a special dessert which was the perfect ending to a great meal! Would definitely recommend!
