The Dockside Grill - Mays Landing

Stopped here for pre drinks. They have a nice selection of specialty cocktails and a friendly bartender. We were a party of six, but they were very accommodating to us considering we were just having drinks. They offered for us to sit at a table. Our waiter checked on us several times while we had two rounds. Parking is a bit small. There may be an over flow option, but I'm not certain where.

Went for lunch. Deck was very pleasant and fans everywhere to keep you cool. Service was good not great. A little forgetful. Lemons instead of limes in drink forgot refills at one point. Three out of the meals were very good. However the shrimp in the cocktail was half cooked and inedible. The Dungeness crabs were small and just ok. And not worth the hefty $50 per plate. We will go back few places like this in the area. Being on the river is very calming. We will be ordering different items off the menu.

Hey Yelp, this place is open. It just changed owners in march. Wow these reviews are all over the map. Good food. Perfectly fine everywhere else. Photos: the scallops app and the pork chop appetizer. Ambiance: this is only for the indoor dining. Super charming, great view. Service: Sadly, meh. I hate knocking servers, but ours wasn't the most attentive (we only got one water refill after everyone at the table had drank all theirs and then an additional 5 minutes, in between courses) and there was another gap after we ordered before he brought out the wine. He also seemed confused on how to best serve our group of 5 and unwilling to walk towards the head to the table where 2 of us were. We also got bread kind of late. Food: we all loved our appetizers but holy hell are the salads are huge! That could be a main course, easily. Step that back by maybe a handful or two of greens. It was a lot. My scallops and the acorn squash crisps were amazing. For the mains: the pasta got compliments as did the sea bass. The short ribs and the salmon (not pictured, obvs) got rave reviews. Sadly , my Parmesan pork chop was meh. The pork felt a smidge overcooked and everything about it felt heavy. I needed more zip from the horseradish and Dijon cream sauce and pairing that with mashed potatoes and literally 6 stalks of asparagus is a CHOICE. Also, not every main needs to have mashed potatoes. Online menu isn't accurate by the way. There wasn't a crab cake on the menu in person and a couple other things were different. Huge portions by the way.

What a nice evening! The place has a special, historic charm. We chose too sit at the bar. It was a comfortable spot. The bartender, Scott, was great! His service was attentive and he was absolutely sweet. The Charcuterie Board was fantastic! Cheeses and meats paired with figs and other fruits, olives and honeycomb. The perfect start with a glass of wine. My dining partner was not a fan of the blackening spice, but I enjoyed it. The seafood was cooked well and the risotto was delish, served with some sautéed vegetables. The Creme Brûlée was devine. An all around nice evening. I look forward to our next visit.

Pictured are the oysters and pork chop. Food- I tried their pork chop which was HUGE! Their portions are great and very reasonably priced. I typically order seafood when I dine out but I've heard great things about the pork chop and it didn't disappoint. Sometimes restaurants miss seasoning the sides, as the protein is of most importance and Sugar Hills mash potatoes were delish! The broccoli rabe paired with the dish was equally as well seasoned. I'm not sure that you can go wrong with anything you order there though. Aesthetics-The Inn's aesthetics can be assimilated most similarly to an older Victorian home. It has a homey vibe with all character of an older home (for those who choose to pay attention to the details). I appreciate the molding, formal table setting, fireplace, and classic aesthetics the Inn has to offer. Service- I had the most amazing server! Marissa was patient, kind, and very informed about the menu. She typically works weekends (as she informed me), so definitely request her!
