“Excellent service, food are great, you guys have to try their chocolate corruption and chocolate PB cheesecake desserts… but beware you guys might enjoy too much their meal its hard to make room for dessert. Unless you make it to go LOL like what we did
We ordered calamari for appetizer, classic burgers both well done with fries on the side and the other was salad and chicken tenders and fries for kids meal.
Everything tasted fresh especially the salad and the burger was tasting fresh and juicy i just felt it was seasoned very well it doesnt need any condiments at all . Definitely will be back and somewhere i will take guests to.
Fyi: I also love that they make sure they clean regularly as when we left the staff were moving frames and wiping corners of wall edges especially by the customers table area. Great to see that when you actually go to a diner

Kid-friendliness: They have kids menu, cant remember the options but my son got the chicken with fries and sprite, he did ate his order for a picky dude he is

“Spectacular view, atmosphere and setting... just upscale enough to put on the dress you've been saving but not too much that it's snobby or uncomfortable. The picturesque backdrop and complimentary valet parking makes you feel like you're not in Gainesville anymore. Absolutely wonderful place for an escape date night! Now, the food.

Very original but just a touch too tart and tad weak for our taste. For mains we both ordered steak frites entrees. The salad was deceitfully simple and plain looking but actually original and very delicious. The steak was prepared properly to order and was tasty. Limited menu and food/drink just shy of wow got it to 4 stars. 5th star for the view, complimentary valet parking and setting. We'll be back for the view and to try the banh mi sandwich. 1514 SW 14th St, Gainesville, fl“

“My family and I was returning back home from Vacation and decided to find a seafood restaurant during our stop in Gainesville. Our decision to try the "Seafood Dock " was definitely the best one ever. The service was superb, our food was served without much of a wait , it was fresh, hot and presentation was on point. We were a party of five and tried different dishes from the menu . Our portions were not skimpy and the food was delicious. The environment was relaxing, clean and "Tiffany J,"❤️our server was courteous , kind and just made us feel very special. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The music is very good in this place but the environment is very badly designed. There is so much space in this building, and yet everyone gets cramped in one room. I think they need a serious renovation. The drinks are priced good and if you like latin music, the music is good. But go early as it gets VERY “
