    This is one of our favorites. Fresh seafood. Great service and spectacular views of Venice Harbor. I enjoyed the classic fish sandwich, and my wife had the grouper sandwich. Both were delicious. Our server Victor was fabulous.

    From the moment we arrived it was great. The wait staff all were friendly and welcoming. Our waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable about everything. Our party of 6 all ordered different meals from the menu. I had the Caribbean lane snapper which was absolutely delicious. We also had the New Bedford U-10 diver scallops, the Peking Duck and Fruits De Mer. The grandsons had the filet and spaghetti. Each meal was a unique experience. For dessert we had the bread pudding, key lime pie and crème brûlée. Again, all were so very good. The restaurant is located on the bay so the scenery is beautiful and relaxing. I would highly recommend this restaurant and would return if in the area again. It was the best food we had while on vacation.

    Another fabulous dining experience at Dry dock! I had the garden salad with grilled salmon and balsamic vinaigrette, which was delicious. My friend had blackened grouper tacos with beans and rice, which she enjoyed as well. They made my friends’s birthday extra-special, wishing her a happy birthday, giving us an excellent window seat, and then surprising her with a complementary piece of delicious Keylime pie after lunch! Thank you, Dry Dock!
