Most of us had the Lobster Bisque which was a very good quality with lobster in it not just soup. We also go the Lobster/Steamer Special. It was a huge bowl with the steamers on the bottom, a lobster, corn on the cob and a boiled potato. Others ordered other entrees and we were all satisfied with the food.

Out of the way off main road. Offering mostly seafood. Nice outside dining not on water, but overlooking large marina with many boats in all sizes,

Had dinner there a few nights ago and it was great as usual. Wife had the grilled chicken and broccoli said it was excellent. I always get the clam strip dinner or the Caesar salad with grilled salmon. Both are excellent. The Caesar salad is quite large and you won't walk away hungry even if you're a hearty eater. The clam strip dinner is wonderful and not overdone or greasy. Of course the views from the patio or deck are wonderful. The staff is friendly and attentive and I would highly recommend the Dockside

I have been to Dockside's many times and always order one of their fried seafood platters, usually fried oysters or a seafood combo. I have ordered the same dishes at Lenny's, and the Chowder Pot, but Dockside's has them beat for the following reasons: (1) Their seafood is cooked to total perfection - a nice golden brown, not overdone, as happened to me once or twice at Lenny's. The oysters are large, plump and juicy. (2) The platters don't overdo it with the French fries - just enough, but not enough to stuff you on them, and they, too, are cooked perfectly. (3) Their coleslaw is the best and they give you a very large portion, compared to the other restaurants I mentioned. (4) The service is always friendly and prompt, and they are willing to accommodate special menu requests. My only wish is that they would add baked stuffed lobsters to their menu. They offer them steamed, but they do these so well that I am sure with a little effort, they could offer an amazing baked stuffed lobster. And they also make great martinis!
