From 10 days staying in FL we visited this place 4 times. We ordered Lobster rolls and Lobster pasta. Everything was super delicious and made us come back again and again. Highly recommend and will be back here during my next trip for sure.

This place is so pretty! The view out the windows is spectacular! I had the pasta with the Tuscan sauce and chicken which was delicious and huge! My friend had the Tuscan chicken which was the same but no pasta and came with a salad. I thought that was sort of annoying as I would have paid the $5 more to get the salad but the Tuscan chicken comes with a veggie and a potato side and you can’t substitute pasta, strange. Potatoes vs pasta, the price can’t be that different. Other than that it was great. Our waitress was mediocre and could’ve been friendlier. I would definitely go back.

We are big-time fans of this waterfront restaurant. It is consistently excellent. We prefer to sit down waterside when the weather permits. They have an excellent selection of cocktails. My wife prefers the maple infused old-fashion. Starting off with warm bread and butter is a treat then we had coconut shrimp appetizer. Four large very flavorful shrimp with a generous amount of pina colada dipping sauce. My wife and I both opted for our favorite dish on the island, the seafood pasta with red sauce. It is full of chunks of lobster and shrimp absolutely delectable and I asked for additional sauce since it is so luscious! Sean is a professional. He was attentive without disrupting us and at no time did he rush our dinner which we really appreciate. He suggested the Carmel cheesecake which is a fitting finale. We look forward to returning soon.

Its all good at this restaurant, the Dry Dock Waterfront Grill is literally right on the water side. The outdoor patio is covered from the sun and tables are adjacent the dock where boaters can park their boats. Upscale but casual also, good place to relax and enjoy a great meal. The wait staff are kind and patient, friendly and caring, they work with you to get your order the way you want it. The kitchen does a great job of quickly preparing your order within a reasonable amount of time. I even brought my dog on the patio, and the staff helped me keep her settled. It all worked out. I especially like the view of the bay while eating. Parking is a challenge, but always works out. The adjacent boat storage building is really something to see, a real Dry dock location.

Food. Absolutely delicious! 10/10. Service: STUNNING! We had Maryanne (spelling?) and she was an absolute delight. Atmosphere: Fantastic! It was my first visit and when we are back in town, we will definitely visit again!

We recently dined at Dry Dock Waterfront Grill in Sarasota and had a great overall experience. Parking is located around the corner of a big boat storage area, in front of the resistant. It’s well-marked with clear signage, and when we visited there was plenty of parking available. I could see it getting a bit tight during peak times, but there appear to be additional nearby parking options if needed. The restaurant is tucked toward the back side of the boat storage area, right along the water, which adds to its charm once you find it. The restaurant itself is spread across three levels, and they do offer elevators for anyone who may have difficulty with stairs. Some areas can feel a bit tight, but overall the layout is unique and works well. We made reservations ahead of time and were seated immediately upon arrival, which was a huge plus. We specifically requested indoor seating with air conditioning and were seated upstairs. The upstairs dining room felt comfortable and slightly more formal, with a fine-dining atmosphere. The views from this level were absolutely spectacular and really elevated the experience. The food was very good, though we felt like it was just shy of being exceptional. The bread and butter were a nice touch to start. We each had Caesar salads, which were delicious. For our meals, my daughter and I shared the fish and chips. My husband had the fish tacos and enjoyed them, but mentioned they could have used a bit of crunch, like cabbage, for added texture. Our bill came to $85 before tip for two waters, one soft drink, three side salads and two meals, which initially felt a little expensive but after much taught the pricing then felt reasonable for the location and overall experience. The decor and overall vibe were very pleasant, and we would definitely return to try more items on the menu.

Really enjoyed Dry dock! Parking was interesting to say the least. We definitely got there at just the right time. If you’ve never been here before and the lot is crowded it could be tricky! We really lucked out and got a table right by the water. We tried the shark bite first and it most definitely wasn’t for me. None the less the regular margarita made up for it! We ordered grouper & cocoanut shrimp, and cocoanut shrimp and bacon wrapped scallops. Both were delicious! Not a fan of the pina colada sauce but the sauce for the scallops was amazing! Our waiter was super attentive and did a great job making sure we were well taken care of.

This place always exceeds my expectations. They have the best calamari I've ever had, and their Tuscan Chicken is absolutely to die for. We've also tried several other items on the menu, including the filet mignon and various fish entrées, and every single dish has been outstanding. The quality, flavor, and consistency of the food are truly impressive. No wonder this place is always full! Our compliments to the chef and the entire team for continually delivering such a wonderful dining experience. Dry Dock has become one of our favorite go-to restaurants, and we always look forward to coming back. Highly recommended!

Great experience per a friends recommendation. Me, my brother and SIL went for dinner we got calamari for our app, grilled scallops dinner, lobster and scallops dinner, and the red snapper white wine linguini. We sat on the dock at sunset and the views were beautiful! Service was a little slow but with all due respect they were busy as heck we waited about an hour for a table but the bar area is lovely! Total came out to $160 we were 100% satisfied.

So impressed. Heard good things, but exceeded expectations! Absolutely delicious food & excellent service. Everyone we encountered was warm & friendly from the hostess to the bartender & our server. Went for lunch, was escorted upstairs & seated promptly. Beautiful views, great A/C, clean restaurant. Ordered the Killa Nilla cocktail (fresh, unique & delicious), a bottled beer (served with a cold glass - suggested by our server), Coconut Shrimp appetizer, a Ceasar salad with blackened grouper, & the Fish & Chips - all were outstanding, flavorful, light & so fresh tasting. The grouper was flaky & seasoned perfectly, the batter on the Fish & Chips was the lightest & best we've ever had (second only to Old Naples Pub, RIP), & the Coconut Shrimp were large & fresh, quality shrimp with a real coconut batter. Will 100% be back.
