    My friend and I met for lunch and while we originally planned to eat on the outside patio, it was too chilly and the staff pleasantly relocated us inside. She ordered the seafood chowder and spinach salad, which she found excellent. I ordered the chicken with avocado on a hoagie roll. The chicken was dry and very salty and I would not plan to order it again. I have been to Tripletail several times and have always had an excellent experience so this one meal would prevent me from returning.

    We sat right on the sand at a lovely table a few feet from the water. Just beautiful! We had good service and the food was good. A little pricey, but the view made it worth it!

    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 ⭐️

    Have eaten here several times and it is always outstanding. Glad they reopened after the damage from the hurricane. Menu is always interesting, food excellent, service excellent (Chris was our latest waiter), table by the water gives excellent view even of the Osprey nest not far away. Though "pricey", it is always an exceptional experience and one we always remember and look forward to.
