Dry Dock Waterfront Grill

Excellent all around -- the service, the food, the atmosphere. Went to celebrate our anniversary and our server, Nicole was awesome. I had the bacon-wrapped scallops with a lump crab cake and my wife had the grilled shrimp with a lump crab cake. Both meals were delicious. I liked the grilled flavor having a mild wood smoke flavor.

Everything about this restaurant is incredible! So much so, that in a 48 hour weekend vacation, we ate here TWICE. Starting with the view/ambiance it was perfect! Overlooking the water, it's an incredibly calming sight. We dined outside, and they had fans and umbrellas for when it was hot, and heaters for if it were cold. Service was perfect. But the FOOD!! BEST CALAMARI I'VE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE. The steak was cooked perfectly, the lobster, the salad, the dessert, the pasta... I could go on and on. We dined elsewhere for one dinner and paid substantially more than for WAY worse food/ambiance. I researched for hours trying to find a non chain , fine dining restaurant and I looked in all surrounding cities. I am SO glad I picked this one.

This beautiful restaurant was recommended to us by friends who live in London and travel to Sarasota every year. So we decided to try it also on our first trip to Sarasota. So glad that we did! First of all, the setting is magnificent on the waterfront. The indoor area is also beautifully appointed. There are little walkways all around the restaurant. You can pull up in your boat or drive up to it. The view is incredible and even more colorful at night with the emerald green fluorescent lighting!! There are lots of fish right by the dock to greet you also. We sat outdoors and were very comfortable. It was our first night in Sarasota. For an appetizer, we ordered Grouper Bites, which were yummy. We both ordered the Lobster Tail with Bacon Wrapped Scallops, which was so delicious! Although the desserts looked wonderful. We were simply too full to order any. We wish to thank Steven for his attentive service to our needs. Service was great. Next time we are in Sarasota, we will be back and try it out during the day for the view and possibly sunset. Parking was easy and free because there is a big lot attached to the building. There is an elevator, stairs and a walk-in to the indoor seating.

Got here a few minutes before reservation so grabbed a Dry Dock Blood Orange lager which was the perfect way to start dinner. Service was super friendly and I found portions and flavors to be very generous. Decor upstairs is contemporary but with a nautical feel. Very tasteful.
