Open table reservation made for 7:45 pm, walked in with our 6 year old, was seated. Upon inquiring if there was anything kid appropriate on the menu, the hostess blatantly said, no. We ordered and waited for our food until after 9. It would have been helpful to get a heads up before seated and ordering that this was not a kid friendly place. We would have gone somewhere else. As a visitor, I just picked the restaurant with an open table.

My husband and I had a wonderful meal and experience last night at the Dock. Our salads were delicious, my salmon was probably the best I’ve ever had, and my husband’s scallops were large and scrumptious. Our server took great care of us. We enjoyed our view from our table right next to the large open window and also some conversation with a lovely couple sitting next to us. We will definitely go back every time we are visiting Newport Beach.

Not a wide ranging menu, but we found stuff we liked. The food was very good. The service was outstanding - polite, fun, energetic, attentive, not stuffy. The dining room area was nice - and again - not stuffy. A large selection of wines - we found a nice Italian red we liked. Would definitely return for a special occasion.
