4 /5 mary roldan: Came to Johnnys Dock for a dual birthday lunch celebration, and overall it was a really lovely experience! The views are always a win, and despite the place being short-staffed, the service stayed friendly and attentive. Major props to the team for keeping things moving.
The menu was a bit limited (sadly, no crab cakes. Made in house and chef didnt have time to prep them in the morning), but we made it work and everyone ended up happy with their meals. The food came out hot and flavorful; the fish was perfectly cooked, the steak was juicy, and the sides were solid comfort bites.
Now, about my tequila sour... lets just say it didnt quite look (or taste) like one. On a previous visit, it was on point, so Im guessing Drake, one of the bartenders who really knows his craft, wasnt in that day.
The only area that could use some love is the restroom. One stall had no toilet paper and there was no soap, which might just be part of the short staffing struggle, so Im giving them a pass this round.
All in all, Johnnys Dock has a lot of potential. Between the waterfront views, good food, and a staff doing their best under pressure, its still a solid pick for a casual lunch or special occasion. Will definitely be back to try more of their Indian cuisine menu. Supposedly the shrimp peri peri is really good!!
