Wow, could sum up this review in three letters. Had a reservation And when we arrive, we are immediately seated, even though they've been hit with a large party they were able to pivot and made us feel quite comfortable. The ambience is nice and open and a little loud. The volume was fine as it allowed you to talk knowing that no one else could hear you. The service staff was prompt, efficient, and well knowledgeable. The food was quite delicious and very fresh. I don't know what more could be asked for next time. I have the opportunity to go to New York, I will be back.

My first time at Docks and it was fine. It was busy but our servers were consistent with checking on our large party of 11. They made great recommendations and were quick and efficient. I had the seafood risotto which was decent but lacked seasoning. My best friend had the NY Strip steak which he raved about. Not disappointed, I'd come back on another trip to NY.

This restaurant is always happening! Packed when others are empty. Every seat offers a great view in the restaurant. Drinks are full delicious pours. And the oysters the best. Stephen Weingrad and Melene's go to place! Save table #21 ! Melene N.

GREAT oyster happy hour spot in midtown. Can get a little crazy so try to go early! If you manage to snag a seat at the bar service is super quick and easy and the bartenders are very friendly. Interior is a bit more upscale, but during happy hour it feels like all walks of life are in there. The price for the quality of oysters cannot be beat here! Haven't tried their entrees, but definitely a go to happy hour spot.

It was a Thursday evening about 5pm. Met a friend and sat at the bar. We had oysters served with lemons, horseradish and cocktail sail. They were fresh and fabulous! Also ordered the happy hour shrimp and they were seasoned and cooked to perfection. Then I had the Thai chili fried calamari and once again it was fried to perfection. Ordered martinis that you can have olives stuffed with or without blue cheese. Martini was amazing! Robert the bartender did a great job interacting with the people at the bar. Robert was attentive to all the bar patrons. The vibe feels like a lot of business meetings happen here. The bar feels like a lot of happy people are here. There were bathrooms upstairs and a handicap accessible one on the main floor. I would return to order more food to see if it's as good as the bar food.

This review is based on the excellent happy hour. A great selection and great service!! The only downfall is the bar gets crowded pretty quickly.

Years since I've been here and reviewed this establishment. I'm glad I returned and gave a second chance. Pleasantly surprised with the service and the happy hour choices. Comfortable atmosphere. Glad I came back.

Solid HH spot near midtown for post work drinks and oysters! We sat at the bar and our bartender was super attentive and gave great pours of wine. We got 12 oysters, fries, spicy tuna roll, fried calamari, and then another 12 oysters. The oysters were good but not super meaty. I wish they were bigger, but they did the job for $1.50. The spicy tuna roll was tasty and so was the fried calamari. Fries were crispy and hand cut but not worth $14 for the portion! Overall, I'd come back for the HH. Pricing: Wine: $9 Spicy tuna roll: $10 Oysters: $1.50 Fries: $14 Fried calamari with Thai chili sauce: $9 They also had a live jazz band playing which was super cute!

Stopped by Dock's a few days before Christmas for happy hour. The bar was packed, but found a seat without a problem. The ambiance was good and the bartenders were stellar... very attentive, patient, and friendly despite how busy they were. They deserve five stars. I ordered smoked Oysters Rockefeller, an appetizer from the regular menu and a shrimp appetizer featured on the happy hour menu. The shellfish was very fresh, but lacked seasoning/salt/something. The smoked flavor came through with the oysters Rockefeller, but that's about it. Kind of bland. The shrimp were battered and had an aïoli on it that was supposed to be spicy. The shrimp and or the batter needed seasoning because they were lacking flavor. I asked the bartender for hot sauce, which he kindly obliged. That added some kind of a kick, but other than that, blah. I guess I need to try other dishes, but nothing is pushing me to rush back other than the delicious Pinot Grigio that was on the happy hour menu.
