   The views and ambience are incredible, but the hostess stand is exceptionally slow and the service has never been good. I had to ask twice for a children’s menu and the drinks and food take a long time and don’t come together. The prices are very high for such a disorganized place with average food.

   They had a pre fixe menu for Valentine's Day, and every course was special and delicious. The staff were outstanding and the attention to needs without being "too much" was absolutely perfect. At the end of our meal the manager came by our table to ask about our experience and made sure we left happy. Truly an above-and-beyond dining experience for us!

   Sara was our server and she was lovely. We ordered the seafood tower and the chef came to our table to personally let us know the crab legs were not presentable enough and asked if we would be open to swap those out for some other great choices. It was a really personally touch. Everything was wonderful and the view was so nice of the marina.

   We went to Dockside 1953 to celebrate our 55th wedding anniversary. We wanted to sit outside by the bay, but the weather was chilly. We asked for a table with a fire pit. We were given that, and when I told Kelley (our server) that we tended to be cold, she brought over an additional heater and gave us both blankets! We enjoyed our delicious dinner warm and comfortable. Kelley was very conscientious and friendly, and took great care of us during our stay. We had a wonderful dinner and a fantastic evening. Thanks!

We truly appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you back for more memorable moments by the bay!

   Excellent service and innovative food. They are about to change their menu so my comments on food will be outdated. Requested a non alcoholic cocktail and bartender created a delicious blackberry mojito

    Food was fantastic, and our waiter Victor was absolutely awesome. Little on the pricey side, but it will be worth the experience. The wine pairing is the way to go for wine drinks.
