We come every summer for the lobster menu. Unfortunately this evening the lobsters were long in coming and when they finally arrived, they were undercooked and, for us, uneatable. Too bad.

The North Dock is right on Lake Champlain so diners can experience truly wonderful views and, if the weather is right, spectacular sunsets. The food is consistently delicious. Served buffet style with a wide range of options, diners enjoy the freshest local produce in spectacular salads, and equally fresh fish and meat. Last night’s highlights were an amazing broccoli salad, melt in your mouth prime rib, and fantastic carrot cake. We’ve eaten at the North Dock for years and have never been disappointed. Service is brilliant- very attentive.

Everything was lovely. The service was terrific, and the food delicious. There were so many tasty choices. I appreciate that there were GF and vegan choices in the buffet.

The staff did an excellent job despite it being a bit windy on the dock. The food was great as always. Parking closer to the venue should be available.

It was amazing how they recovered from a serious rainfall just minutes before, and still were able to set up such a lovely dinner and dry and comfortable tables. Bravo!
