Fried Calamari were very tasty! Linguine with clams were good but a little bland. Great service and ambience! Noisy but we got a table in the back which was better. Will definitely go back.

Server (Mary) was terrific and helpful. Lobster risotto and linguini with clams excellent. Bok choi/mushrooms side was average. Varied menu. There was a lot to choose from.

Once again Docks did not disappoint. Food was fabulous as always, Service great and ambience perfect. We had Easter brunch and while I had reserved a table for 6 we had a last minute addition which was not a problem at all. All in all a lovely time was had by all.

We had not been here in a while. Having said that, this is primarily a seafood restaurant and seafood has gotten expensive. I think their prices are fair and there is value here. We had a great meal and an overall good experience.
