   Despite doing a booking and sending them messages. They had not taken any effort despite fancy confirmation over the app. They give us the coldest possible table and ruined my event. The food was nothing fancy the service met expectations. As they got us seated at the table we found the floor had food and we had to have them clean the floor while my wife waited standing beside the chair.

   Atmosphere is beautiful but the food is subpar and bland

   Service was good, food quality and quantity not worth the price. Better to eat outside the hotel.

   Went to celebrate my wife’s birthday. It was everything we could hope for. Took off our shoes and walked on the beach after!

   Excellent food and atmosphere! We sat outside at a fireplace table - vibe and view were amazing. Our service was outstanding as well with Cyana as our server. Delightful experience!

   Dockside was good seafood but I have had better for the expense. Really enjoyed the ambiance. Didn't understand how there were no reservations available after 445pm and when we got there, literally every table available as it wasn't busy (this was a Friday too) at all.

   The food was very good but I don’t think it was worth the price. Very expensive for what you’re getting.

    Tasty shrimp roll, caesar salad, charred cauliflower and blackened tuna steak. Tiki tempest mocktail was refreshing and not overly sweet. Lovely outdoor patio with heaters.
