The Docks has turn out to be one in every of our common spots for lunch and dinner. Most not too long ago, we went to lunch with our buddy Mark who was on the town visiting this week. As a giant child, I at all times love testing the lobsters within the tank residing their finest lives on our solution to be seated. Talking of seating, the Docks has each inside and outside seating. We opted for inside seating since it’s beginning to get scorching once more.
Because it was a fast lunch, we didn’t get drinks or appetizers, however the Docks has a wonderful bar and a few scrumptious apps. Each my husband and Mark opted for the burger. It could sound unusual, however this seafood joint does have one of many higher burgers on the island. Each off the fellows loved their burgers and agreed that it was a sensible choice. I used to be going to go for my normal alternative, the snapper philly. Nonetheless, once I heard that the fish of the day for the fish sandwich was purple snapper, I went with that as a substitute. I’ve to say that it was scrumptious, possibly even higher than the philly! There was a great quantity of fishing on the sandwich, and it was cooked completely. Additionally, the bread wasn’t all soggy prefer it will get with plenty of fish sandwiches, so it was simple to eat.
We have been served by the bartender, and he was very attentive, fast to refill our waters and the rest that we wanted.
After lunch, we went into the seafood market and Mark acquired some conch and a few swordfish to take again residence with him. Whereas not low-cost, apparently, the fish on the market price lower than on the seafood counter at Publix the place he lives. Additionally they had wagyu steaks within the freezer, which is nice to know!

Yesterday, my husband and I together with our associates Tommy and Pam had dinner at a brand new restaurant referred to as The Docks situated on Entrance Avenue on Inventory Island. The constructing was residence to Fishbusterz Fish Home for a few years. This new eatery has revamped an outdated, dingy area into one with a clear and stylish, but welcoming vibe.
We have been seated instantly by a pleasant hostess. And shortly after, our waiter, Santiago (from Argentina), came to visit to introduce himself and take our drink orders. We discovered some fascinating choices on the menu, however as quickly as my eyes alighted on the snapper philly, I used to be bought. The Docks menu is seafood heavy, as one would think about with that title. However, there’s something for the landlubber as effectively.
To start out, we ordered a lobster rangoon and a wedge salad. For entrees, Pam and I each went with the snapper philly, Tommy went with the fish and chips and Steven went with the burger.
Our Evaluate
The lobster rangoon have been gently fried, served with a aspect of candy chili sauce and scallions. They have been so freaking tasty. My solely grievance about this dish is that there have been solely three wontons, and I want there have been many, many extra.
The wedge salad was fantastically offered and attractive. Nonetheless, I’m keen on my very own blue cheese dressing. This dressing was a bit gentle on blue cheese and heavy on garlic. There may be additionally a beet salad on the menu that appeared inviting, however I’m saving that for my subsequent go to.
When dinner arrived, every thing appeared nice. Presentation was stunning. I’ve to say that the snapper philly was most likely the very best fish sandwich I’ve ever eaten. The blackened snapper was smothered in grilled onions, peppers, and provolone cheese and served on an amoroso roll. Merely elegant! Who wants a cheesesteak with this sandwich! And the French fries have been hand lower and fried to perfection with simply the correct amount of salt added to them.
What’s there to say a couple of burger. It was scrumptious and cooked as specified. White cheddar cheese and pancetta gave it additional aptitude.
And the fish and chips, which on this case was tile fish, was superb. Fried to perfection and served with a tasty tartar sauce, it was the very best fish and chips this aspect of the Atlantic.
When to Go
On the finish of dinner, Ian, one of many homeowners, stopped by our desk and chatted with us for awhile. He’s from Jersey as are Pam and I, so we had an on the spot rapport.
Whereas dinner was not low-cost, the ambiance, meals and repair have been effectively well worth the worth of admission. I can not wait to return! Open from Midday to 9:30 PM seven days every week, The Docks is a should go to for lunch or dinner whereas visiting Key West!
