When you go ask to be seated at Sally’s tables… she’s FANTASTIC! The food is good, the view sitting outside is gorgeous and the cocktails are great.
Great food with a great view. Our waiter surprised the bride with “congrats” on the dessert plate. Handled an allergy issue professionally and timely. PJ also was kind enough to take our group picture.

My Review of the Restaurant Experience
I truly value good service and quality food, which is why I wanted to share my experience.
Unfortunately, not everything went smoothly during my visit. The young man who took our order seemed a bit confused and unsure of what he was doing. At one point, the manager came over and corrected him in front of us, which made things feel a little awkward.
When our food arrived, it wasn’t exactly what we ordered — some items we requested, like the salads, were missing, and we received dishes we hadn’t asked for. It seemed like there was some miscommunication.
I believe the staff could benefit from a bit more training and attention to detail. I truly hope the management takes this as constructive feedback, because I believe this restaurant has the potential to offer a much better experience with just a few improvements.
Looks like a great place but quickly turns into a meal you can get at Dennys. Rent a boat and bring your own food

Great service! Loved our server she was great! However, the food was not all that great. They ran out of food too. Overall enjoyed my evening because the people were so nice!

We came to The Dock with a large party, and unfortunately the experience started off on the wrong foot. We had coordinated extensively in advance—pre-selecting meals, confirming an open bar package, and aligning on all the details. But when we arrived, the manager in charge—whose office was literally steps from our table—completely ignored us. Despite several issues needing resolution, she never once approached or acknowledged our group, which was incredibly frustrating given the prep involved.
That said, the only reason this review isn’t one star is because of PJ, our waiter—who deserves a standing ovation.
PJ was nothing short of phenomenal. He immediately stepped in to resolve the confusion, handled every question with patience and humor, and somehow made the entire experience enjoyable despite the chaos. When we learned the bartender had unexpectedly left, PJ personally made every drink for our group—and not only were they delicious, they came out incredibly fast. His energy was infectious, he was attentive and kind, and he truly turned the night around for us.
If you’re lucky enough to get PJ as your server, you’re in great hands. Management may have dropped the ball, but PJ absolutely carried the night.

Forget what you knew about lakeside dining-this spot rewrites the rules in lake fun and style. From smoky bourbon cocktails and the nostalgic sunsets to Caesar-salmon flatbread so bold it deserves its own spotlight, every detail sings of a place that’s relaxed but ridiculously on point.
The Dock doesn’t try too hard -and that’s why it’s iconic.
So what’s next on your lakeside saga? Misty morning kayak? CK’s laugh echoing across the water? Or just one more bite before the stars come out? This place isn’t just a destination-it’s a chapter, a feeling, a perfect memory.
Let’s keep making family memories ❤️

PJ was a fantastic bartender! Attentive, calm, friendly, timely, and made me a great old fashioned which wasn’t on the drink menu. Looking forward to coming back for the amazing service. True leader of the bar. Cheers!

My family and I stopped in for lunch today off the boat and we will definitely be coming back. My brother is special needs and CJ was patient and kind to him as well as very attentive to our table. She even helped pack and secure our leftovers for our boat trip home. Our drinks and food were all delicious and we will make this our lunch stop for future boat days!
