Great food and service! Always a good experience. Try the lobster bisque! Nice views!

5 stars for a nice dog friendly restaurant in Venice! We wanted to take our pup to the dog beach nearby so we're so glad the patio at Dockside Waterfront Grill is dog friendly. They offer a wait-list through Yelp so I added our name before we arrived since it had a bit of a wait. It was super easy and we were given a table right away when we got there. They offered my pup water right away, which was so appreciated since it was such a hot day. We wanted to eat a little light so we ordered the grouper sandwich blackened with fries for $23. And also got a cup of the chowder for $8. The chowder wasn't anything amazing but it was a little thing to go along with the sandwich. We enjoyed the grouper sandwich, it had a decent amount of fish and fries. Service was good, our food came out quickly and we left feeling satisfied. The view is really pretty with the dock too. Love the vibe of this place!

This is a quintessential waterfront restaurant with nice relaxing views of the bay. I had the seafood chowder, which was good, not great. Add some lemon pepper, chopped green onions and crispy bacon and I'd order again. I did love the crab mango stack. This was light and fresh and I loved the combo of crab with mango. The crispy wonton chips were perfectly fried and nicely salted. Service was good.

We decided on dinner here twice and it didn't disappoint. I had a grilled chicken salad and the chicken quesadilla on another night. Both times the customer service was on point and the waitresses were attentive to our table.

What a nice place, the service the live music, and the food all came together for a fantastic dinner. I started off with raw oysters, yellowfin tuna. The oysters were from Louisiana, they were not salty like the ones from the northeast, they did not take sweet like the north western ones, these had more of earthy taste, bland. Not the restaurants falt, they should try to offer more of a variety. On to the dinner the portion size was acceptable, the tuna was perfectly seared, my wife had fried scallops, they were mouth watering and huge! Everyone was happy with their food and portions. Great dinner, good price! I would definitely go again!

Great food, good service, and a perfect atmosphere to spend time with friends or family. The crew is good at making you feel at home, though sometimes a bit overworked as it may take an extra ask for a refill. Nothing major, and well offset by tasty fare - not the best, but definitely in balance with the atmosphere, service and price.

Food is always consistent & good. The service is very good as well. If you eat inside, the view of the water & the boats is relaxing. Very nice place to eat!

This time was a fantastic experience, last one was not so much but more than made up for it New dishes are delish nice portions, waitstaff very attentive, atmosphere the best Will be back

Great service, great location, fun atmosphere! Right on the water in the marina, great breeze outside keeping things cooler, too. Wonderful side salad - all the extras: cheese, shaved carrots, actually red tomatoes, and real bacon. Not typical around here AT ALL. Great fish and chips, exceptional tartar sauce, good Cole slaw, good fries(chips) (a little cool, but flavorful). Citrus Grouper was excellent, not as large as some of their other locations, but less expensive - so it balances. Good choices of tap beer, decent wine selection- need to ask about a wine list, unless going house. Always a great choice!

We decided to try a place by the water in Venice today and were glad we chose Dockside Waterfront Grill! We had a table that was in an indoor patio with great views of the water. I had the linguini alfredo pasta with blackened chicken and thought it was delicious. My husband had a grouper sandwich that came with a side of corn salad I guess you could call it. Whatever it was, it was as unique and really good! We brought our kids and they seemed happy with their choices as well. The kids menu had chicken tenders, Mac n cheese and I believe there were two other items to choose from. The restaurant was busy for lunch but the service was still great! We would definitely try this place again.
