    The food was great, I couldn’t believe how hot everything was at the table. It was like the chef prepared it right beside me. I don’t know our server’s name, but she had long braids and she was lovely and the service was fantastic. The ambiance was awesome. They had live music and a really great band that wasn’t too loud. You could still have conversation. I would definitely go back there again.

    We had the baked pimento oysters for the appetizer, they were amazing. Between all of us, we had the catch of the day which was swordfish and it was cooked to perfection. The jambalaya was also a great dish as was the bruschetta chicken. The creme brulee and tiramisu were also just right. Not too sweet and beautiful presentation. The service was exceptional. Lynn was very kind and friendly and made sure we were topped off at all times and her knowledge of the menu was on point. The best part was the outdoor seating area and the view. Definitely recommend the restaurant and it's location.

    We enjoyed a lovely dinner at Dry Dock for Valentine’s Day. The restaurant was busy but the team had everything under control. We were greeted immediately and taken care of promptly at the bar for cocktails as we waited a very short time for our table. Our server was informative and efficient and went above and beyond to make us feel at home and understand the menu. Our food was amazing The snapper served right off the grill and the side veggies perfectly cooked. The jambalaya was piping hot and delicious. No room for dessert this time but the key lime pie was so tempting! 5 ⭐️
