   Great location. The service was basic not what we expected from a proposed nice place. The table was not set with all the dishes and had to ask for plates to even get our starters eaten. The food was good but the temperature felt like it waited a while to be delivered. Finally, the mimosa flight was not what was ordered and the server made substitutions without asking.

   Our waiter Patrick was outstanding. Very knowledgeable about the menu and attentive. Food was really good and would recommend sitting on the lovely patio.

   Amazing service, food, and outdoor space. Indoors was not up to expectations but the outdoor fire space was incredible for the evening. Listed price point on OpenTable should have been much higher.

   We met up with old friends at Dockside1953 for an anniversary celebration. The atmosphere around the fire pit table was impressive and kept us warm during the evening. The service was excellent and not rushed at all. Our server was always on cue when pouring our wines and bringing the next drink. The food was outstanding. Both my friend and I had the filet mignon. We're both meat connoisseurs, and the steak here was the best I've had at any restaurant (or elsewhere for that matter). My buddy is a San Diego resident (I'm from Canada), and he'd never eaten here before. Dockside 1953 has become his new favorite restaurant. Our wives had the chicken and drugstore burger and loved it. Highly recommend.

   Our waiter was extremely slow and did not check on us, we had to waive him down a few times. Food was average, but the patio was very nice. There were nice heaters for a cold evening.

    The food was excellent. The service outstanding. Kind people, lovely atmosphere. We should have sat outside but thought it t be too chilly but the design and the heaters in that space would have been sufficient. Will definitely return, even if it is just to have that lamb again. Very yummy.

    Dear Mary, we are happy to hear you enjoyed the lamb dish. Your intention to return is the best compliment we could receive and we eagerly anticipate your next visit.
