Our entrees - seafood gumbo and cod - were just fabulous and we literally cleaned the dishes. The only downside was the quality of service. The waiter was not delaying or anything, but he had this attitude, which made us uncomfortable. We had a feeling that he did not really want to serve us. Hope that we'll have a different waiter next time around.5/13/2013 12:00:00 AMReliableDocks is always reliable with really good seafood and atmosphere.

I would recommend Docks to anyone looking for a restaurant with consistent service and food.5/9/2013 12:00:00 AMNice, but priceyThe food is good and the surroundings are nice. Service is attentive if a bit rushed. The principal thing to note is that the pricing is clearly aimed at expense account diners.
