    We were warmly greeted on a chilly January Sunday evening. By none other than the chef himself. He creatively described his favorite dish and hoped we would enjoy it as well. If there was a spice or vegetable that was not positive with my digestive tract he introduced another dish that would be hove me instead. The waiter was fantastic and the restaurant should be the 1 attraction in Bridgeport, Ct

    We had an amazing time at Dockside! We reserved the Candy Cane Lane igloo for our annual pre-Christmas outing. The igloo was so fun, themed so well, supplied with heaters and even a speaker so we could play our own music. Our waitress was absolutely amazing. She was kind, fun and made sure we were all having a great time. The food and drinks were amazing. Thank you so much for a wonderful time!
