    Food was decent, but nothing unique. Waitstaff was helpful, but seating hostesses were rude and unwilling to help troubleshoot problems that arose.

    Went on a Thursday evening and it was extremely loud to the point your escalating your voice to hear others at your table and when you leave your ears are ringing. They are confused between vegetarian and vegan so the menu isn't accurate. Being vegetarian I ordered the several food options to try. Mozzarella Cheese Sticks(3/5), Spinach Dip(1/5), Mediterranean Trio(2/5), Cheese Pizza(3.5/5), and Brussel Sprouts(4/5) (no bacon). Service was good but even they had a hard time hearing. Large TVs displayed sports. Cool. Views of the water. Nice. Beer variety. Not bad.

    Not one of our better visits to Dockside. Our waitress spent more time on her phone and chatting with co-workers and snacking them paying attention to her cutomers.

    We were seated right away, which was great because the place was packed. It was a very active atmosphere for a younger group. Great for the happy hour crowd. We were severed our food almost too quickly, we really didn't have a chance to relax. Everyone was very attentive. The parking is difficult get there early it you have a reservation.

    Perfect birthday surprise lunch. Food portions large and delicious. Refreshing beer while sitting in the sun looking out at water. Perfect first stop before silver sands beach walk and then a mozzarella making class down the road. Will return for sure!

    We enjoyed our experience. We were a little disappointed because they were out of a lot of the drinks we wanted to order and the menu had less items on it than the last time we went. We really enjoyed most of the food we got and the waitress was really kind and helpful.

    Food was just ok. Nothing great. You really pay for the igloo experience. Which was neat. My kids enjoyed it. The waitress did not come down much, we never got refills or anything like that. She only came when she had to take our order and serve us our food. There was no way to get her attention, so I feel like she should have peeked in to see if anything was needed or to see how we were doing. When we got our bill the gratuity was already added which we knew so that was fine. But she asked us to scan the barcode on the receipt and pay online. When the receipt popped up online, another 20% gratuity was added to our bill. It made the bill go up another $45. I’m sure alot of people don’t catch this. Luckily, I did. She would have gotten tipped twice. I could only think of how many people probably don’t catch on to this.

    Was not happy my reservation for a specific igloo was cancelled and I was not notified when I made adjustments to the reservation. Didn’t find out till we got there. They were nice enough to find us another igloo after about 15 min. The waitress was great even though she was very busy! We were forgotten about a few times in the igloo. The food was good- atmosphere was nice.
