Really amazing food and service. The lobster ravioli was great as were the oysters but it was the sushi that was the star of the show

I hadn't been there in many years. We were warmly greeted by the host, and then quickly greeted by our waiter. Our waiter was efficient, polite, friendly, and attentive. One of us made a request to substitute a vegetable with our main courses, which was easily accommodated. My friend and I shared a Caesar salad which turned out to be not my favorite, because it is made largely with kale. The dressing was fine, though I've had better. We each had pan-roasted branzino, which was excellent! Flavorful, skin crisped, and perfectly cooked. There is a good selection of wines by the glass. We finished with decaf cappuccinos which were very good. We can't comment on desserts. We lingered over the coffee and never were rushed. Prices are on the higher end, but I felt this dinner was overall a good value. I will not wait so long to return.

Absolutely loved the lobster roll (Connecticut style). It’s the best roll I’ve had in years. I’d travel all the distance just to have that roll. The service was fantastic, we were seated at a corner table which was quieter compared to the bar which gets busy.

Oysters were good.Had the lobster roll. It was fresh but not as buttery. The coleslaw and fries were also yummy.The margarita wasn't as good as i expected.

I had friends in NYC from the UK and wanted to provide a NY experience The service was wonderful (as always), food was great and the jazz was a nice plus (although a little loud at the bar). One of my favorite restaurants in the city

My experience at Docks left much to be desired due to the disappointing service provided by the hostess. I arrived about 15 minutes ahead of my dinner reservations, hoping to enjoy a quick drink at the bar with my friend. However, the hostess curtly informed me that seating at the bar was tight, without offering any assistance or alternative suggestions. Feeling slightly put off but still optimistic about the dining experience, I accepted the situation and asked to be seated. To my surprise, despite the restaurant being nearly empty, I was directed to a table all the way at the back - even though there were plenty of unoccupied tables closer to the windows. I felt like I was led to what felt like the restaurant's remote corner. I asked to be seated by the windows and we were placed next to the restaurant entrance door so we felt the wind every time it was opened. Beyond the initial disappointment with seating, the rest of the dining experience was overshadowed by the feeling of being marginalized as a guest. While the food and ambiance were decent, the overall experience was tainted by the poor handling of seating arrangements.

Our lunch was thoroughly enjoyable. The service and atmosphere were outstanding. The woman who designed the special Valentine's Day drink came to thank my wife for ordering it. We'll be back.

Best seafood. Atmosphere inside is super fun and polished. Had great outdoor seating but unfortunately the whole block is under construction now so it's hard to even find the restaurant. Used to have a jazz brunch on Sundays and hoping they bring that back.
