The revised Swordfish on the menu with mushrooms was absolutely delicious. It was cooked to perfection and so tender. It almost melted in your mouth. It was the best we've had anywhere. Will definitely order it again.

My friend and I sat outside on the deck, where we enjoyed cocktails, a delicious dinner, and a wonderful sunset. It couldn't have been better.

Had another wonderful experience at The Red Dory! Such an awesome little restaurant! The food is always awesome, cocktails - delicious, and Amy our waitress was great! I especially want to give a shout out to Jared, the front house manager! It’s so obvious the service is so consistently outstanding thanks to his guidance and his example. He literally makes everyone who walks in feel like a VIP. That’s the reason we so love heading to The Red Dory whenever we can! Thanks, Jared! Thanks team!

We like going to Red Dory. It has a nice vibe: pleasant design, friendly servers, and upbeat atmosphere, even though it's loud. Servers are friendly.
