    Terrific Oysters and Clams! Great drinks and an overall wonderful dinner. The Black Sea Bass special was terrific. Our go-to place for fish.

    Will definitely go back!!! We were celebrating a birthday and they surprisingly gave us a beautiful dessert with happy birthday written on it. The service was great. I really have no complaints. It was exactly what I expected an oyster bar to be in terms of food and noise level. The ambience is beautiful. It’s very close to Bryant Park. Great place to eat.

    Nice dinner in NYC. The host and servers were very friendly and made our visit enjoyable. I enjoyed the sushi roll special and fish and chips. Husband liked the lobster fried rice. Overall we enjoyed.

    This was my first time eating at this restaurant. I ordered the lobster roll. While the lobster meat was fresh, it tasted bland. Some melted butter on the roll would have helped. Overall, it was nothing special. I've had much better. My daugher had the mussels. Again, nothing special. Her boyfriend had the burger. Nothing special about it again. Desserts - nothing special. The best part of our dining experience was the wine. Docks has a good wine list. The service was also good and the server was friendly.
