You can see from my photos that the food here is really good. The patio is dog-friendly and they even have cushions and blankets for dogs. The owner makes a point of talking to everyone and explains the menu and food sources very well. Also a very funny guy. and is very quick witted.

My girlfriend and I stopped here after reading reviews online and wow! The food, atmosphere and service all top shelf! Our server was on her second day but she absolutely killed it, and the owner came over to welcome us, and to chat about the building and the pride he takes in what they have created. I got the Philly steak sandwich and it was one of the best I have had, both quality and quantity!

My husband and I often go to this restaurant. We absolutely love it here. We are never disappointed with the food and always enjoy our experience. The patio is a wonderful place to have lunch or dinner, the view is fantastic. The staff are great and the Owners are hard working, attentive, kind and warm. We’ve only had an issue with the food once and the issue was fixed without us even asking. We would not hesitate to recommend Dockside, it’s truly always a pleasant experience. Sandy and Sarah, the Owners, are wonderful people and their dedication to their restaurant shows in the quality of their food and the warm service they consistently provide.

We tried pierogi nachos, mini potato paties, rogan josh and butter chicken. The food was delicious and sufficient for a group of 4 people. For rogan josh and butter chicken, they should offer one more naan/ roti and less rice.

The owner came by twice and was very friendly and fun. There were 6 of us and each had a fabulous meal. I cut the roast beef with my fork. Loved the potatoes and veggies, excellent! The waitress was attentive and friendly, a comfortable place to dine A

We stopped in on our way to Ottawa from Toronto as we wanted to break up the drive and what a great discovery. I require gluten free and they had lots of options - including one of the best veggie burgers I’ve ever had. Would love to come back in the summer and check out their dog-friendly patio - they even have a menu for pups which is so cute.

Super friendly owner greeted and chatted with us. Wait staff was equally as welcoming and efficient. The food was amazing, options on the menu were fantastic and the environment was clean and beautiful. We will definitely be returning!
