This resturant has the best sea food that it has been my pleasure to taste. I had the Clam Chowder and the taste was better than any I have eaten. The waite staff is very knowledgeable and very polite. The menu offered something for both my wife and I to select from. This was a very wonderful experience. more

I've dined at Dock's Oyster House countless times and have never been disappointed. The food is consistently fresh and delicious - which is to be expected from the Dougherty family. After relocating to California, known for it's seafood, Dock's is still my #1 choice anywhere... it's simply the best! Don't miss this charming place when you're in Atlantic City! It... more

The best seafood on the island, hands down. Dishes highlight the freshness and quality of the ingredients in an inventive, yet familiar way. Live music from the piano bar adds a warm touch of class. The staff is welcoming and will impress by remembering your name even if you're only in town once a year. The menu is all things... more

What started out as one of the worst trips to Atlantic City was quickly salvaged when our concierge recommended that my wife and I go to Dock's Oyster House for dinner while our room was getting ready. She had made mention that she wanted seafood and she wanted an alternative to the casino's soulless and tasteless buffet. I was starving... more

We enjoyed every bite. We started with a beet, goat cheese, madarin, pistachio, and baby greens salad - a recipe we're going to try to recreate at home, it was so good. The salmon entree with spinach had the best sauce, including just a hint of horseradish. And the fish fry was rich and indulgent. We definitely want to go... more

On November 10th, my wife and I had dinner at this moderately-priced AC landmark for the second time in three months, and once again the reataurant lived up to its reputation as one of the premier dining establishments -- on or off the casinos -- in Atlantic City. I started with a half dozen mixed oysters chosen by Dock's raw... more
