The Dockside Bar & Grill

"My husband and I had dinner at Dockside on a Saturday evening. We made reservations, but it probably was unnecessary since most of the upstairs was still open. The ambience is nice, it feels very classy without being too over the top. We sat near a view of the water. Unfortunately, it was already dark so we would love to come back to appreciate the view more during the daytime. The restaurant was running a Black Friday special: soup or salad, a select entree and a select dessert for $26. Such a great deal! We both got different selections from this menu. I ordered the Angry Pirate cocktail which was very refreshing! I had a house salad which was quite sizable and full of fresh ingredients. For my entree I had a Cajun crusted salmon, which was cooked to perfection. I hope this makes it onto the menu permanently. For dessert, I had the salted caramel brownie with ice cream, which was delicious! My husband had a chicken, corn and sausage soup of the day which he loved. His entree was the steak frites. The steak paired well with the thin cut fries and it was very tender. His dessert was an ice cream sundae. The server was very attentive and efficient. We were impressed at how little timing there was in between courses. Excellent presentation of the food as you can see by the pictures. We will definitely be back!"

"I used to come here a few years ago before Marty took over as GM. Beer list started solid, but got stagnant. Food was okay, always seemingly missing salt. Now with Marty guiding the ship, beer list is ever changing, food is incredible, cocktail list and mocktails are awesome too. Just had the best fish fry of my life. Service was great. Both thumbs up!"

"We stopped here on a very busy Sunday late afternoon during Canalfest. There was a half hour wait to be seated in the restaurant, but as we were only ordering appetizers they said we could sit in the bar area. We found a table outside on the water with a pretty view. The stuffed clams and the shrimp were delicious! Service was fast and servers attentive! Highly recommended!!!"

"Dockside was a fun spot. The atmosphere was great, sitting right next to the canal. The banana peppers were really good."

"The food was very nice. Today's special included oyster, the price for being a special was kind of pricey or at the very least on par for an upscale restaurant. They were super juicy and delicious tho, definitely worth the price. We also ordered chicken wings. They were a little crispy for my liking but not bad especially if you like crispy wings. The blue cheese was very good, I feel the condiments can some time make or break the meal. Theirs was very nice. My friend and I had fish fry and they were super crispy but yet the fish was also fresh and delicate. The tartar sauce was also amazing. We had many different beers and cocktails to sample from and the view on the patio of the water and boats is always a really treat. The only reason I gave them a 4 instead of a 5 is it was very apparent the waitress did not like serving. She was not very attentive and kind of rude at some points. It was very uncomfortable asking her for things like we were bothering her. The meal and ambiance were fantastic just the service needs some fine tuning."
