The prime rib……cold and over cooked.
The RI chowder…….VERY salty and tasted like liquid smoke not clams.
The scrod…….overcooked, lukewarm with way too much garlic.
Au jus for the prime rib……..also VERY salty and inedible.
The clams casino……..burnt bacon on top tiny flavourless stuffed clams.
The service, baked potatoes , and spinach were good.
I cannot understand how this place remains open.

My mom wanted her Birthday lunch at Dockside. We had a delicious lunch together (from entree to dessert to dessert coffee) with great service! I am not a fan of rice pilaf and a lot of their entrees are served with it. I was glad to be able to switch it out for another side.

Best Seafood in the STATE!!! The lobster Bisque.. incredible, the Calamari Alla Vodka...Next Level, The Scallops MELTED in my mouth with a light flaky flavorful crunch. Clam Strips were the freshest I've had outside of Cape Cod

Was told they don't take reservations. We waited 15 minutes for a table. Then when we went and asked for a table in the corner they told us it was reserved for someone else and would not seat us. We ended up not eating there and left the hostess couldn't have been More indifferent and seemed as if we were a bother to her. We won't be back

Overall 5/5. Food and service was good. Clam chowder the potatoes needed a little more time and needed a little more clams but flavorful. They were able to accommodate us 9/1/25 but sitting us outside. Only issue was the BUGS. 5pm a lot of BUGS.

One of my favorite spots in the summertime! Sit at the bar or meet friends and enjoy a table outside with a view. Pot of Steamers and home made Bloody Mary. Yep! Lobster Bisque is another personal favorite.

Right near the marina, beautiful views, great food, lunch portions and specials available but regular menu also available. All types of fresh seafood cooked in a variety of ways. Friendly wait staff.
