Firstly I will say, order any of the fish dishes and you will be happy. All of the seafood was very fresh from the water tasting and well balanced flavor-wise. My brother and sis in law and I got the swordfish, the snapper and their signature grouper with crabcake on top. We all ended up sharing bites and no one could decide which was best. I wish I would have taken more pictures. Calamari was well prepared, fresh and crispy. I was told the lobster bisque soup of the day was delicious. Lobster pasta had generous lobster and the fish and chips were not greasy at all. Service was thoughtful and attentive, though a bit more of a relaxed pace than in my hometown of Chicago. But it made for a relaxing, enjoyable dining experience. We were able to savor our food and have good conversation which was so nice. Drew took good care of us and even checked with me on spice tolerance for my dish which I really appreciated. (Butter sauce on the side for snapper if you're unsure if you can handle heat. It is definitely spicy! In a Smokey sweet way. ) Also key: along with a fun drink menus there was very nice selection of delicious non-alcoholic cocktails which was a happy surprise for my sober brother. All in all a lovely experience. I definitely don't understand low reviews. Maybe we just ordered really well. Ambiance was peaceful and lovely, even sitting at a round table somewhat in the center. They don't take reservations and parking can be a challenge but it's worth it!
The atmosphere was incredible. The service was great, and the food was delicious! Situated right on the pier so after we ate, we walked the pier and took in the entire experience and it was really nice time. 3/7/2025
Delicious food! What a wonderful restaurant. The service is super friendly and helpful in this charming cozy comfortable restaurant! The food was exceptional too! First we had an appetizer and drinks then we had our main courses! The food was very tasty and the place has a very comfortable air about it! The freshness of the seafood and the crispness of their greens was fantastic ! A definite place to go when in Naples! Please see pictures below and let your eyes do the feasting for you!
The fish tacos were excellent. Others had a cheeseburger, a salad, and the Shrimp Louie Salad. The shrimp were stellar. I had a daiquiri and others had beers. The ambiance was delightful with completely outside seating overlooking the marina. The staff wanted all parties present so it took a minute to get a table. I'm not sure if they took reservations so I probably could have done that. But it was such a short wait it didn't matter. Our server was delightful, Ryann from Kentucky. (She also goes by Heather!) We really enjoyed our meal and I've already encouraged others to try The Dock!
Amazing outdoor dining with Covered patio garden on the water I had the spicey watermelon maragarita which was delicious, but a bit pricey. The shrimp nachos had plenty of small breaded shrimp with cheese and chili sauce-- which I had never had before , but loved. My husband had the fish and chips, which were very good, but he would have liked more fish lol The service was very attentive! I would definitely come back and recommend
Nice location right on the water with outdoor seating. Service was great- nice and quick. Food was yummy- has a selection of seafood from shrimp nachos to paella to grouper (and ribs). All was delicious. Overall nice lunch and good portions - recommend
Every time I go to Naples to visit my family I check my trusty Yelp for a new restaurant to explore. I swear ya'll were gatekeeping this place! A bit of an older crowd, local, chill with upscale feel. The staff, unmatched, incredibly welcoming and kind. --from the warm welcome from the host to our hilarious server. Fun fact about me, if there's coconut shrimp on the menu, I am 95% of the time going to order it. This coconut shrimp did not disappoint, I wish there was more! Another fun fact about me, my go to drink is Prosecco. I am 100% of the time ordering a Prosecco for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I decided to try the Prosecco with watermelon popsicle. Absolutely delicious... Must try! This outing was a late lunch/early dinner and I was craving something that would hold me over for a few hours... The spicy rigatoni lobster spoke to me. It tasted like heaven, the perfect amount of lobster, and just enough spice. I found my new favorite place! Make sure you head over ASAP.
