    Had lunch in one of the igloos. Nice to be able to have that space to chat with our family and relax. Service was very good, staff was attentive and food arrived quickly. Will go back again.

    Dockside is a great place for a casual meal. We were pleasantly surprised at the variety of liquid choices-(Hall and Oats a favorite.). We all enjoyed our meal and will definitely returning. We are looking forward to enjoying the outdoors area once the weather turns warmer.

    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!
