Headed here for lunch before a show. Was able to cater for gluten free requirements and wheelchair access. As a group of 9 they had all our meals out in time for us to eat and get to our show without feeling rushed.

We are visiting from Perth, and we found it to be a very enjoyable here. The food we ordered had exceptional flavour. The meat and seafood were cooked to perfection. My favourites were the Veal Osso Buco, the Barramundi, the Broccolini, and the Yoghurt Panna Cotta. It was very comforting, and some of the best food I have had in years. I highly recommend Dock 37 Bar & Kitchen ❤️

Well, they had Heineken on tap so that was 5-stars straight away. We went to have Sunday roast but they weren’t serving it at lunchtime on the day we went. The paella, philly cheese steak and sausages & mash were all great. We will be back; we want to try the roast.
