    We enjoyed a lovely dinner at Dry Dock for Valentine’s Day. The restaurant was busy but the team had everything under control. We were greeted immediately and taken care of promptly at the bar for cocktails as we waited a very short time for our table. Our server was informative and efficient and went above and beyond to make us feel at home and understand the menu. Our food was amazing The snapper served right off the grill and the side veggies perfectly cooked. The jambalaya was piping hot and delicious. No room for dessert this time but the key lime pie was so tempting! 5 ⭐️

    We've been to many Cooper's Hawk restaurants but this was our first visit to Sarasota. We were seated when we arrived on time for our reservation. The wine tasting room was busy but quiet. The restaurant is beautiful. Our server, Duncan, was excellent. We tasted the wine of the month but decide to order the Sangria this time. We had 4 different entrees and everyone was very pleased with the meal. The short rib dinner was excellent with the most tender beef. We will be back!

    It was our first time there. We were so happy with all aspects of our experience. It’s a fun, classy vibe. The design and decorative choices are perfectly appointed. Our server Angela was so knowledgeable and assisted us in moving through our menu choices. Every suggestion she made was spot on. Her timing and attention to detail was much appreciated. The food was incredible, each course was delicious and the pistachio olive oil cake with gelato was over the top, wow. Matt the manager stopped by and we had a great conversation with him. Overall a 5 star experience.

    Everything I had was outstanding. I usually try to take half my meals home but I ate every bite. The atmosphere, we sat outside, was so calm and inviting.
