    We come down to Sarasota 1 or 2 times a year and one of our favorite places to dine is Dry Dcok Waterfront Grill. Tonight we had a table overlooking the bay. The service was great. Food outstanding as usual. I had Tuscan cream sauce over linguine with grouper. My husband had the grouper boathouse tacos. Both were delicious. The grouper is always fresh. Also had the lobster bisque, very good! Can't wait til our next dinner there!

    Great food and ambiance. Service was a little slow, but Nick jumped in and did a great job in moving our meal delivery along. Tripletail entrees were delicious as were the bacon wrapped scallops and lobster bisque.
