Reviews
The restaurant offers a mixed experience with some patrons raving about the friendly service and delicious food, while others complain about slow service and subpar meals. The setting overlooking the harbor front and tall ships is impressive, with some diners enjoying fresh seafood chowder and bisque. The fish and chips, grilled haddock, and carrot cake receive positive reviews. However, some guests were disappointed with the rubbery chicken, soggy salad, and lazy cooking practices like serving scallops with tendons still attached. Overall, while the location and views are beautiful, the inconsistent food quality and service may leave some patrons wanting more from their dining experience, generally, Dockside Lobster & Seafood Restaurant receives a rating of 3.6 on average.
