The Dock

“Really enjoyed our meal here!! Everything was 10/10. I’ll start with the service which was excellent - from the hostess (I believe it was Alexis?) who accommodating me calling an hour before on a Saturday night of a holiday weekend and then not only swapped us for a great table, to the peaceful ambience in there. You almost feel like you’re at your friends house but it’s extremely elegant, sophisticated and simple but homey! And of course the views, you feel like you’re outside but still get the warmth and ambience of being inside. All of the service was also extremely attentive- water as soon as we sat down, warm bread shortly after, our server (Frank- hope I remembered correctly) was very kind, helpful and assisted us in making great choices and making sure we were taking care of. He helped us to make a great wine selection for the evening. As well as the rest of the staff too! Food was excellent. We had the octopus which was wonderful, the citrus salad - so refreshing, delicious and balanced. I got the fish of the day which was halibut and my boyfriend got the filet, both were incredible. Dessert was the bread pudding and homemade ice cream which was melt in your mouth delicious. Portions could have been a bit more generous for the price but that’s Ok. Would absolutely come back next time we are up in Newport!”

“This place was amazing the food was awesome, service was also phenomenal, and just overall great. We got in without reservation as its just a random Thursday lol. They were cool about our dog aswell. Great place”

“The Spanish Crispy Octopus was the BEST octopus I've ever had! The sauce with the octopus was so delicious and flavorful! We stumbled upon The Dock while visiting Newport and the restaurant is such a gem. The service was amazing, everyone was so friendly & kind. Our server Frankie was great, along with the rest of the team. I will be visiting Newport again just to come back to the dock! I can not wait to try the Duck, Fish Of The Day, & Lamb! Thank You!”

“My wife and I have had the dock on our list of restaurants we wanted to visit for years and we finally made it in this weekend and it was better than we imagined. Venue - from the outside it’s super low key but once you’re in you see a beautiful entry into a large yet intimate sitting area with beautiful views of the bay. We sat in the left corner in a very comfortable spot and although I did want to sit closer to the water with a view within 10 min fell in love with our spot. Super cozy and private and not too chilly as the night progressed. Service - multiple staff made sure we had a great experience. Our waiter, Eric and his partner, Aldo were awesome. Both very attentive and passionate about what they did and how they wanted to help. Full of life, big smiles, and on top of it. Eric had the food memorized inside and out and described everything with such enthusiasm that we wanted to order everything. Aldo was the perfect add on to ensure our dining experience was flawless with new silverware, plates, and additional advice. Food - 10/10 so bomb. Everything we ate was incredible. We had the gem salad, Maryland crab beignet, I got the off menu halibut with risotto and my wife got the king salmon that was literally melt in your mouth fatty salmony goodness….lets just say we left very satisfied. Hats off to the chef! We washed it all down with a nice glass of Pinot and a classic dirty martini! (PS, Eric owes me a blue cheese olive 😂😉) All in all we will be back. No doubt! I loved how low key and easy it was, parking was simple and we had a great time. Fair prices compared to quality. Top notch. Thank you to all who took care of us!”

“There are only 14 tables, but the staff were wonderful. The prices demand it but you will get attentive service. And the ambience is spectacular. You get to sit by a dock with water right next to you. It is a very romantic place. They don’t have any loud music which is great. Their wine list is extensive. And with the corkage being $75 may as well try their wines. The cuisine is French, which I love. The scallops were perfect. I did not like the gravy as much as it tasted overly sweet. The pork loin was only OK because it could be more tender and it was a little dry. The brioche bread pudding is good though I make it better. I loved the mushroom soup.”
