I have yet to eat something at dockside that was bad, expensive or that made me sick.....the waitstaff that i personally have had have gone above and beyond and are always pleasant. bartenders have always been fast, and the drinks are decently priced, decent sized and always made just right! the view is great, the music is even better! the atmosphere as a whole is great. Karaoke with Guy on thursdays is the best, i attend almost every thursday! during peak season it is very very busy there and if you have been there you know its not a huge place, which means odds are the kitchen is not super huge. if it is busy just know it will take you longer to get your food, as it would in any place. and if you want to be taken care of, make sure you are seated by someone and you don't just seat yourself!!!!!!! before you take anyones reviews to hear on here or anywhere, try it for yourself and be the judge. also take a look at yourself too, don't go into a busy place and expect to be served your meals within 20 min. not gonna happen here or any smaller restaurant. and don't be rude, that doesnt get you anywhere at all. i can't give it a 5 star because honestly i can't give a lot of places a 5 star in buffalo.....but a solid 4. not to mention they keep it clean there. clean bathrooms is a must have!
