Had lunch here after visiting a museum. We sat outside on the porch which looks like it stays shady all day and has a great view of the water. The sandy lower seating is hit or miss for shade. Drinks were good, but I wouldn't order the mojito again because it had little mint or rum flavor. I ordered a rum shot to fix it up;). The shrimp tacos were excellent! The service could have been a little more attentive. Would definitely return when in the area.

Fabulous food. Attentive service. One of my favorite places to eat!

We were seated outside at a table with an incredible view of the pier and the bay. I made a reservation for this lunch with a former colleague and could not have asked for a more enjoyable experience. The food was delicious and the service was very attentive without being too attentive. Highly recommend!

Good food service and atmosphere.

Honest review. Crab cakes, macadamia nut grouper, banana bread pudding were AMAZING. Sarah our server was very attentive and kind. The snapper and the Yucatán shrimp were very very over cooked. The snapper was literal rubber. The shrimp were inedible. I will say the restaurant made t right by comping the shrimp and half of the snapper dish. The waterfront location is beautiful. I would come back for the bread pudding, crab cakes and the grouper for sure.

We have great service. The food was good and will definitely be back.

The view and location can't be beat! Unfortunately it was too hot to sit outside and inside the noise level was intolerable.

Seared Tuna, Lobster and the Yucatán Shrimp were MONEY! Well done Doc Fords Team! Patrick, our server, Thanks for the great customer service!

Made a reservation well in advance but the hosts really struggled to get us a table. Lost in the shuffle and when we waited well past when they told us they would have a table we had a young guy act like he couldn’t have cared less. After finally getting a seat our server and the food were fantastic. Crusted grouper sandwich and macadamia crusted fish with coconut rum sauce were outstanding. Would probably go back if in the area great party spot.

Delicious, fresh lobster roll! As good as that was the sweet potato fries stole the show or so said my nephew. Not a bit of grease on them! Nice restaurant if you’re down by the Pier. Food is good. Service was fair. It was Thursday night and very busy. I would go again.
