We are here multiple times during our stay in the area. The food was great all three nights and we enjoyed the various areas to sit while still having a great view!

Dockside atmosphere is fun and festive! Staff is upbeat and welcoming. Food is average, small portions, missing lobster roll on Saturday night. It’s usually great so I’d rather them skip it instead of delivering mediocre lobster roll.

Our server was great and very attentive. My only annoyance was it was raining and the brewery kept opening some screen window by our table and I was getting rained on. I requested them to close it, they did and then moments later someone will open it back up. So I was wet and cold.

Very noisy place! Food decent, service was good. Rainy, dreary evening, so everyone had to be indoors under cover. Perhaps why it was extra noisy??

I have been going to dockside since they opened all of a sudden you cannot make any modifications to the menu items. We left did not eat or order anything sur to this. I have two toddlers and they love going there however they are picky eaters and when I tried to order the nachos with just cheese I was told thats not longer possible aa no modifications are able to be made to any menu items due to the fact that they just changed to their summer menu. Seems very strange that you cant ask for something to be left off what order. Will not be back
