    Great location and service

    We went here when they opened for lunch. We were the first people in at 11am. We found out that it's okay to take our small, Havanese dog which was great. One thing though, is that the dog has to be, either in a "pen" or on the floor. They are not allowed on the chairs. Because we had our dog, we got seated closer to the entrance instead of overlooking the harbor. That was fine with us. Service was quick, friendly and helpful. I had the swordfish. It was medium okay. A little too moist for my tastes. My wife had fish and chips which were terrific. We liked our experience and will return.

    Very dog friendly!

    Huge covered outdoor patio with plenty of seating. Servers went out of their way to say hi to our pup, and there were plenty of other patrons who brought their fur children as well. Free parking and you can also access the restaurant via boat as well.

    Friendly place on the water.

    We stopped here with our dog after a day at Brohard Beach. There were several other parties with dogs on the patio. The food and service were excellent. They happily provided as much water as we asked for. We ordered food for dinner it dog as well. We will stop here again!

    Very doggy friendly

    We had dinner at Dockside last night and had an awesome experience. Our girl relaxed under the table while listening to the live music. There were at least 5 other dogs on the patio while we were there. I really liked that the live music here wasn’t super loud. we were able to enjoy the music while still carrying on a conversation over dinner.
