Wow! I visited the restaurant on either the 6th of 7th of July, 2022…Best experience by far at Docker’s! Not only was the service that myself, my husband, our two kids and my brother-in-law, by far the best service that we have ever had at Docker’s, but our server, Eric (man with long hair), was beyond exceptional! At one point, I counted 5 other tables that he was serving at the time right around us under the shade, yet, he greeted us at the table and introduced himself about 20 seconds after we sat down. He showed up to the table with waters for everyone (including for the kids—Which came with lids on top of them thank god!). He proceeded to take our drink order (the adults), and had all of our alcohol drinks at the table within 1 & 1/2 minutes after telling him what we would like! Very impressive compared to the service we have received lately by some other servers who were unable to answer questions without going to the kitchen to ask the chef. He knew right off the bat that the Salmon Old Bay was a gluten free dish, explained what came with it, and that really impressed me! Everyone at the table had a question about different menu items, and without a thought or stutter, he answered them quickly, and as it turns out, his answers were spot on! He was able to recommend drinks for us based on our initial drink order; All of which we loved more than the previous! We did have sort of an obnoxious order because we made so many changes, however, he assured us that he could make it happen! 8 minutes later, Eric showed up to our table, appetizers in hand! Talk about fast! Hats off to the kitchen for that one as well! As our apps were being placed at the table, Eric made sure that everything came out perfectly. He took our entrée orders a few minutes before the appetizers arrived, cleared appetizer plates as they were finished, kept both our waters, as well as our alcoholic drinks full at all times..which is rare in any restaurants!!
The food came out EXACTLY how we ordered it (and we had some very needy requests)!
To make it better, the food was absolutely amazing! By the end of our meals, our plates were gone from the table as soon as they were finished. He even talked us into one more drink, a couple of shakes for the kids, and a Key Lime Pie for the adults to split.
The best part (to me), was that it didn’t seem like he was “waiting on us hand and foot” even though we were difficult with our orders! It seemed genuine, informational, and “real”..if that makes sense…
