The Docks Restaurant + Raw Bar

A true hidden gem that completely exceeded all expectations. The fish was unbelievably fresh, the stone crab outstanding with fantastic homemade sauces, and the main course was perfectly balanced and full of flavor. Huge compliments to the chef — this is real, honest cooking at its best. The location is peaceful and beautiful, right by the harbor with a gorgeous sunset view. Seeing manatees there was pure magic. The service was warm, attentive, and relaxed, yet very efficient. An unforgettable experience. We will absolutely come back next time we’re in the Keys.

This place is all about flavor and quality! No gigantic portions just the perfect size with the most flavor! Scallop ceviche! Melt in your mouth! We did a few happy hour tastes and followed it by the swordfish! Perfectly cooked and a nice flake! Oh and almost forgot about the ceviche of the day with wahoo, and the seafood soup was amazing

I really liked everything about this restaurant: food, scenery, vibe. The food was excellent albeit on the pricey side. It’s a little bit inconvenient location to go to IMHO, and there was almost nobody here, definitely the quiet part of town. We were the only people in the restaurant (12pm on Friday) which kind of makes sense cause it’s on the complete opposite side from the busy side of the island. But we had swordfish bites appetizer - They were awesome. They were blackened And extremely tasty. The tartar sauce that they serve with it was like legendary, upscale tartar sauce we actually asked to keep it so we could eat some with our meal. It was so good. And then for entrées, we got the snapper “philly” sandwich and then I got a snapper sandwich which was just happened to be a lunch spe

Wow! This great little Hideaway restaurant is a classy little establishment with some nice on-the-dock seating plus a very well done, clean and well lit indoor area with a bar, nice clean restrooms and very pleasant servers... Oh, and Great food! we had the Catch of the Day and one of their specialties , cauliflower seafood bake. Sounds a little strange but let me explain. It's basically a seafood bisque with some cauliflower added. it had a pot pie like top but was filled with shrimp Lobster and catch of the day. Which was large pieces of fish, probably Mahi . Both are very well prepared, nicely presented, and it was plenty of food. Both dishes were really delicious, then we had a cheesecake of the day, chocolate chip, which was an unusual cheesy cakey creation with lots of chocolate

We love this place and come in several times every time we come down. Friendly familiar staff, fresh seafood cooked to perfection and top tier cocktails from the bar. You cannot go wrong with enjoy dockside or inside with a nice view especially around sunset time.
