   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.

   We sat outside. Beautiful setting but a little cold. Table had a fire pit but we were still cold. The waiter brought us a portable heater which was perfect. We went on a Thursday and there was live music which was nice. The food was excellent. Overall, a great experience.

   What a fab restaurant. Fairly nondescript with nice view of marina. Limited menu but something for everyone. Our entrees were cooked perfectly. Great service. You should go, you won’t be disappointed.

   We have eaten there twice so far during our stay at the resort. Kelly served us both evenings, and we felt that she and her helpers all made us feel very special. We had a great sole dish and 1/2 price Sauvignon Blanc on Wednesday, and the sliders and $10 Shrimp Cocktail on Thursday. All of the food was delicious and beautifully presented. Live music Thursday was great!

   Dear Greg, thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad to hear that Kelly and her team made your dining experiences memorable. It’s great to know you enjoyed our daily specials, including the 1/2 price wine bottle, sole dish, sliders, shrimp cocktail, and the live music – everything sounds delicious! We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Kelly and the rest of the team. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
