    Bright and airy atmosphere. Attentive and courteous service. Server kindly accommodated dietary restrictions. Food arrived in timely manner. Our party of 4 ordered both brunch and lunch items and everyone cleared their plates except me who ordered a salad large enough for 2 meals which I happily brought home. Off street free parking a huge plus! Will definitely be back!!!!

    Our dinner to celebrate our son's birthday was decent. There was a mix up with our order so one member of our party had to wait an extra 15 minutes for his dinner. But the kids enjoyed playing the video games. We would go back again. As a side note, I would not recommend the fried cauliflower.

    We had an amazing time at Dockside! We reserved the Candy Cane Lane igloo for our annual pre-Christmas outing. The igloo was so fun, themed so well, supplied with heaters and even a speaker so we could play our own music. Our waitress was absolutely amazing. She was kind, fun and made sure we were all having a great time. The food and drinks were amazing. Thank you so much for a wonderful time!
