Dry Dock Waterfront Grill

“This place is so pretty! The view out the windows is spectacular! I had the pasta with the Tuscan sauce and chicken which was delicious and huge! My friend had the Tuscan chicken which was the same but no pasta and came with a salad. I thought that was sort of annoying as I would have paid the $5 more to get the salad but the Tuscan chicken comes with a veggie and a potato side and you can’t substitute pasta, strange. Potatoes vs pasta, the price can’t be that different. Other than that it was great. Our waitress was mediocre and could’ve been friendlier. I would definitely go back.”

“Really enjoyed Dry dock! Parking was interesting to say the least. We definitely got there at just the right time. If you’ve never been here before and the lot is crowded it could be tricky! We really lucked out and got a table right by the water. We tried the shark bite first and it most definitely wasn’t for me. None the less the regular margarita made up for it! We ordered grouper & cocoanut shrimp, and cocoanut shrimp and bacon wrapped scallops. Both were delicious! Not a fan of the pina colada sauce but the sauce for the scallops was amazing! Our waiter was super attentive and did a great job making sure we were well taken care of.”

“This place always exceeds my expectations. They have the best calamari I've ever had, and their Tuscan Chicken is absolutely to die for. We've also tried several other items on the menu, including the filet mignon and various fish entrées, and every single dish has been outstanding. The quality, flavor, and consistency of the food are truly impressive. No wonder this place is always full! Our compliments to the chef and the entire team for continually delivering such a wonderful dining experience. Dry Dock has become one of our favorite go-to restaurants, and we always look forward to coming back. Highly recommended!”

“We recently dined at Dry Dock Waterfront Grill in Sarasota and had a great overall experience. Parking is located around the corner of a big boat storage area, in front of the resistant. It’s well-marked with clear signage, and when we visited there was plenty of parking available. I could see it getting a bit tight during peak times, but there appear to be additional nearby parking options if needed. The restaurant is tucked toward the back side of the boat storage area, right along the water, which adds to its charm once you find it. The restaurant itself is spread across three levels, and they do offer elevators for anyone who may have difficulty with stairs. Some areas can feel a bit tight, but overall the layout is unique and works well. We made reservations ahead of time and were seated immediately upon arrival, which was a huge plus. We specifically requested indoor seating with air conditioning and were seated upstairs. The upstairs dining room felt comfortable and slightly more formal, with a fine-dining atmosphere. The views from this level were absolutely spectacular and really elevated the experience. The food was very good, though we felt like it was just shy of being exceptional. The bread and butter were a nice touch to start. We each had Caesar salads, which were delicious. For our meals, my daughter and I shared the fish and chips. My husband had the fish tacos and enjoyed them, but mentioned they could have used a bit of crunch, like cabbage, for added texture. Our bill came to $85 before tip for two waters, one soft drink, three side salads and two meals, which initially felt a little expensive but after much taught the pricing then felt reasonable for the location and overall experience. The decor and overall vibe were very pleasant, and we would definitely return to try more items on the menu.”

“Food. Absolutely delicious! 10/10. Service: STUNNING! We had Maryanne (spelling?) and she was an absolute delight. Atmosphere: Fantastic! It was my first visit and when we are back in town, we will definitely visit again!”
