    I have been going to dockside since they opened all of a sudden you cannot make any modifications to the menu items. We left did not eat or order anything sur to this. I have two toddlers and they love going there however they are picky eaters and when I tried to order the nachos with just cheese I was told thats not longer possible aa no modifications are able to be made to any menu items due to the fact that they just changed to their summer menu. Seems very strange that you cant ask for something to be left off what order. Will not be back

    We were a party of 4 for a 12:30 lunch. We had a reservation for the upper deck overlooking the water. The table was perfect but upon a couple of minutes we realized that the noise level from a large party was too much for us. We requested to be moved to another table which was accommodated and we sat on the deck outdoors. It was perfect. Towards the end of our lunch, it began to drizzle but was virtually unnoticeable with the large umbrella. Service staff were friendly and attentive, and we were not rushed. Food was very good and prices were very fair.

    Had lunch in one of the igloos. Nice to be able to have that space to chat with our family and relax. Service was very good, staff was attentive and food arrived quickly. Will go back again.
