Alexandria Kosters4 months agoFood was amazing the vibes were great wasn’t super busy I’m sure it pick up in the summer. Service was great. Their fish sandwich was one of the best I’ve ever had.
Leah Reynolds3 months agoMy friends and I come here once in a while for the bloody mary bar. Everytime we have came the servers have always been really nice and down to earth. Always joking with us and making our experience even better. The food is always good when we have visited. We enjoy our girls days here.
Mike Zoller3 months agoWent for the infamous Bloody Mary bar on Sunday. Planned a date day for our anniversary. BLOWS YOU AWAY! We had 1 in WI with a slider, this was impressive. Will be going back and have a lot of people who are planning to come and visit to try it. Have their own vodka (recommend that) and their version of clamato (recommend that too) spicy but doable for a whimp like me.
Lori Taylor10 months agoModest place with great views and atmosphere. Food was really good with generous portions, and to be honest, I was surprised at the affordability. Most places seem to capitalize on location and views, not the case at The Dock. Im not saying cheap! Im saying quite reasonably affordable. And we were served with a smile to boot. It was perfect for our "girls day" lunch, and we picked it out of the blue! Will definitely return.
Lynn Schiller10 months agoGreat food! The southwest eggrolls with the house aioli was amazing! We both ordered off the weekly special menu. I had the pan fried perch but am not partial to lemon so asked for baked potato instead of the creamy lemon rice that came with it. The grilled vegetables were delicious! My partner ordered the bourbon glazed steak over alfredo. His steak was cooked exactly as ordered. We both loved our meals! Sam and her trainee took great care of us. It is loud in there which is why I gave it only 3 stars for atmosphere. However, I can see it is a fun hangout on the weekends with various live bands or karaoke nights that I want to check out.
