Will definitely go back!!! We were celebrating a birthday and they surprisingly gave us a beautiful dessert with happy birthday written on it. The service was great. I really have no complaints. It was exactly what I expected an oyster bar to be in terms of food and noise level. The ambience is beautiful. It’s very close to Bryant Park. Great place to eat.

This was my first time eating at this restaurant. I ordered the lobster roll. While the lobster meat was fresh, it tasted bland. Some melted butter on the roll would have helped. Overall, it was nothing special. I've had much better. My daugher had the mussels. Again, nothing special. Her boyfriend had the burger. Nothing special about it again. Desserts - nothing special. The best part of our dining experience was the wine. Docks has a good wine list. The service was also good and the server was friendly.

All staff from check in to check out were pleasant, professional and skilled at their jobs. Food was fresh and prepared to perfection. It was pretty crowded so the ambience was noisy with conversations and laughter. This was my first visit and I will go back in the future because it was a very good night out with my grandson.
