We'll definitely be back.3/22/2013 12:00:00 AMGourmet Dining with AmbienceWe chose Dockside Bistro for our Anniversary dinner. Hadn't been in a number of years and was pleasantly surprised to see how upscale it's become. Dark painted walls with vibrant abstract art paintings. Fresh flowers and orchids. For large groups, there's a very nice separate room with banquet sized tables, nice ambience, too. Main dining area pleasant, quiet. Our food was quite satisfying and nicely plated. We loved the toasted potato crisps served with the salad and warm bread with seasoned olive oil. Pistachio crusted halibut with pesto gnocchi was perfect. Key Lime Pie for dessert was quite good, but we had just returned from Key West, Florida where we tried several pies and we were still savoring the memory! Will recommend Dockside.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat Restaurant ChoiceWe were here for a girls lunch and really enjoyed it. The server was knowledgable and gave us excellent recommendations on menu and the wine. The lunch menu wasn't large but the food was very good. The service was excellent and they didn't seem to mind that we lingered over dessert, wine and conversation. This was the perfect cozy restaurant for a long lunch on a rainy day; however, we will be returning on a sunny one.3/14/2013 12:00:00 AMWe went the appetizer routeWe went the appetizer route because so many

Our favorite followed close was the calamari. We
Also had the two soups, crab bisque and the frisque
Artichoke. Both were outstanding. For dessert we
had the bread pudding and ice cream which were
delicious.
The margaritas were excellent as well as the merlot.
The reason I didn't rate the food as excellent
was because of our total disappointment with
The pork belly and scallop $14 really,for a glob of fat?3/14/2013 12:00:00 AMMy wife and came here forMy wife and came here for our wedding anniversary and couldn't have been happier.
