During our visit to Atlantic City we decided to try Dock's Oyster House for a nice dinner. YOu will not be disappointed. The food is absolutely awesome with great service. The seafood was very fresh and cooked perfectly. I enjoyed the Crab Meat Saute while my husband enjoyed Scallops over risotto. Dessert is a must and the Cheese Cake is... more

If you visit Atlantic City DON"T MISS THIS RESTAURANT! I'm a "foodie" and research restaurants to visit every where I travel in the the US and abroad. My research for a restaurant for myself and 3 Real Estate associates to visit while at a convention in Atlantic City lead me to "Dock's". WOW! My associates and I were all DELIGHTED... more

The oysters on the half shell were surperb. The rack of lamb I ordered was perfectly cooked (meduim-rare), excellent in seasonings and flavor, and fork-tender. The sushi-grade yellow tuna my husband ordered was equally tender and flavorful. The service was outstanding! Our waitress possessed good wine-knowledge, and steered us to the perfect accompaniment to our food. I wish we lived... more

We visited Atlantic City with another couple and wanted someplace special to dine prior to attending the 8:00pm Holiday show. We trusted the reviews found here on tripadvisor and were not disappointed. This quiant, historic building belied the quality establishment within. Service was prompt, courteous and possibly a little too quick to pickup after each course, with an abundance of... more

I was taking a quick trip to Atlantic City from my home in Melrose Park ( near Philly) and looked on Trip Advisor for restaurants. I was not sure about all those stars, but I wish now that I could add more stars. Dock's Oyster House is elegant yet unpretentious. Our server, Helen, welcomed us as if we were in... more

I first visited Dock`s with my son in Sept. I really looked forward to a return visit. I accomplished this the first week in Nov. with my sister. I was not disappointed! It is still the best filet ever! I will return to Atlantic City if only to go to this great restaurant. We were very lucky to get the... more

My husband and I had a fantastic dinner at Dock's. I had the day's special of Pan-Seared Scallops with parmesan risotto and my husband had the Wasabi Tuna. Both were delicious, perfectly cooked and the presentation was beautiful. Our server, Allison, was fantastic -- very attentive and friendly. The entire staff worked together to make our evening out one of... more

We were doing a little getaway for our 10yr anniversary and I wanted our anniversary night to be perfect so we went on that night, happened to be a Saturday night. Everything about the experience of this restaurant was perfect....the waiter couldn't of been any better, not too... more

I booked reservations online through opentable easily. We arrived a couple minutes late due to bad weather and a 1.5hr drive. We accidentally parked in the wrong lot at first when we arrived. There is one right at the restaurant, so don't park elsewhere. Didn't feel uncomfortable at all parking and walking in. We were greeted and seated immediately. The... more

One of the best seafood places we have ever visited. We had a sample plate of Oysters, then a wonderful mixed green salad with beets, then a Salmon Wellington on a bed of Crab Meat. Service was excellent and fast but not rushed. The tables were to close together, so a private conversation might not be possible. more
