Spiced New Zealand Rack of Lamb
A must for a wonderful culinary experience. Staff are very professional and friendly, making you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. Pre and main courses are very well thought out, cheers to the chef and staff! The wine offerings are top notch to pair with whatever your course may be. Great atmosphere with view of water; Small but very comfortable, any larger and would lose its ambiance. Enjoy! NHHS 76
Fresh Market Fish
We've been to The Dock for dinner multiple times over the years and it remains our all time favorite restaurant. We no longer live in Orange County, but will continue to make the drive for the incredible food, wine, service, and atmosphere. This will forever be our special date spot - especially since my husband surprised me with reservations here for dinner after proposing during the annual Christmas boat parade.
Prosciutto Wrapped Natural Pork Tenderloin
My husband and I ate here for our one-year wedding anniversary. There are not enough good things to say! The service was exceptional and, in addition to the food, was what really put this establishment over the top! Our waitress was so attentive, but also didn't interrupt us when we didn't need her. She was thorough in explaining the dishes without rambling on and had patience when we had specific questions. The food, the wine, the drinks - you could tell how careful the chef/staff had been in selecting and creating them. The pork dish I had for dinner was the most moist piece of pork I have ever had. It was cooked perfectly. The prosciutto was crisp without being hard - it was the perfect compliment to how juicy the meat was (and our server was spot on in explaining the dish). The root vegetables had just enough bite. The potato gnocchi had a delicate texture that I loved. The sauce that went with it was just right. Everything fit perfectly together. We cannot wait to come back and tell everyone of this perfect spot!
Eggs Benedict
The Dock is the very best! Great food and great service.
Fresh Market Fish
The fish special of the evening was halibut. Always cooked perfectly when I order fish here. Served with a delicious pepper risotto which as well is done perfectly. Won't disappoint.
Espresso Crème Brûlée
The Creme Brulee was delicious, but my oh my. The Cinnamon Beignets that accompanied it were incredible. Instantly regretted ordering dessert to share. Now on a quest to learn how to make them, while accepting that I will never come close to recreating such perfection. A must-have dish. Nightly if possible.
Cajun Spiced Poached Lobster
The best dish I've ever tasted! I had this as a starter and the delicious diver scallops as a main dish. Both were amazing but I'm obsessed with the Cajun Poached Lobster!
Crab Beignets
These are insanely, mouth-wateringly good. The quality and uniqueness of this dish is spectacular and I would go back to the Dock just for this. And added bonus is that the rest of the menu is equally as delicious and masterfully constructed. A must try for anyone in Newport Beach!
Red Wine Braised Short Ribs
I had this at a wine pairing event with you! Unbelievably amazing! Melts in your mouth tender and so full of flavor!
Red Wine Braised Short Ribs
Excellent choice recommended by our waiter, service and food was fantastic!
Crispy Spanish Octopus
Cooked to perfection! Great flavors, loved the slightly smokiness. Highly recommend and from someone who isn't a big octopus fan. Great way to start your meal!
Eggs Benedict
