My husband and I decided to stop for a bite to eat after a lighthouse tour and we were not disappointed! The scallops were cooked to perfection and the clam strips were amazing. I couldn’t forget the clam fritters as well. Great spot to grab great seafood and picturesque setting. We will be back soon.

Staff was extremely friendly. Atmosphere was beautiful. Food was abysmal. Definitely frozen, and definitely fried in old fryer oil. It’s a shame because the location is so extraordinary. A few tweaks could really make this a great place, but that starts with having a core unit that is inspired to make great food to match such a great environment. It feels like they might just be going through the motions and serving what they’ve gotten away with serving this long. Shrink the menu & the portions, which will allow for fresher ingredients, which will give a flavor that matches the scenery, which in turn will keep people coming back for more.

One of my favorite places to go to in the summer. Staff is super friendly and good is good. They get to know you after just a few visits. Views are great and people the frequent there are always welcoming.

Love this place! It was our first time but we’ll be back. Broiled shrimp and broiled haddock meals were delicious. To sit and relax on the water is just what we needed.

We had read such good reviews and so excited to finally make it there…a party of 8 who traveled 2 hours for authentic coastal favorites but we were so disappointed! Most of our food was cold…have you ever tried a cold whole belly fried clam? Well unfortunately we did tonight! The lobster bisque was inedible as was the Rhode Island clam chowder. The Cajun Shrimp wrap was mostly lettuce and tomato with 5 bay sized shrimp…the lobster roll and steamers were delicious. I’ve never written a bad review before but feel like maybe this feedback would help the management prevent this from happening to other patrons visiting their Dock!

I had the cajun shrimp wrap with fries. It was OK, but not great. There are a lot of seafood items on the menu, so take my review with a grain of salt. It only represents a single sample. The service was good once we got up to the window. The atmosphere is very basic. A tent with picnic table seating.

We recently stopped for lunch at the Dock Restaurant in Niantic, CT. Staff was friendly and very helpful in our decision to order. We went with a hot lobster roll and a scallop platter. placed our order and went to seat ourselves on the large deck overlooking the bay. beautiful views and it was a bright and sunny day, perfect. As we were walking to grab a table we passed the raw bar, that caught my attention. I placed a order for a couple of clams, they were cherrystones, small but tasty, just what I needed. Back to the lobster roll and scallops of which both were very good and plentiful. Overall the Dock was a great stop for us, beautiful scenery, good food nice portion size. The choice of the hot lobster roll went against all of my convictions, but the cold lobster roll was with heavy dose of mayo and celery, to me that’s a lobster salad, not my preference with a cold lobster roll. All was good at the Dock Restaurant if you are in that area looking for a nice seafood lunch give it a try. I would give it a 4.5 but it doesn’t allow, so instead of the best 5 star rating , it is a 4.5 worth stopping in and enjoy the fresh air, boats in the bay the Niantic River drawbridge and see some trains roll by.
