dock and drink — Restaurant in Renton

It's hard to beat the view of Lake Washington. But the drinks were mediocre for what you pay and disappointing when you can make cocktails better at home. $12 for an aperol spritz that had a splash of aperol, which an Italian would not be proud to serve. $13 for a can of House wine?! You can buy a can of House wine for $5 at the store, the markup is horrendous! Beer selection is blah for Washington State. I can understand including automatic tip for parties of 6 or more, but to include tip regardless of party size makes me think the establishment pay for servers is terrible or trying to make up cost when this could have been built into the cost of products. The tip option should be removed from the system since it's already included especially since it's contactless service, you order via qr and someone drops your order off who don't seem interested since they'll know they're being tipped 20% regardless of how they interact with customers, there is literally very little interaction with the servers unless you go to the bar to order. I would like to say I'd make Dock and Drink a place I'd go to regularly since I live in the area but I can just hang out at the park and get the same view for a lower cost and...

Beautiful view, fast friendly service, and easy parking. With that being said, the food and drinks were barely average way over priced hotel food. My boyfriend and I tried a lot of different things from the menu and were disappointed in everything. Small portions, lacked flavor, only canned wine, and watery bar drinks. The ordering system is also annoying. You have to scan the menu and submit your order and pay from your phone. It doesn't let you keep a tab open so any time you want to order anything else you have to submit a brand new order and then pay tax and the automatic 18% gratuity every time. They don't have glasses of water so you'll have to order $3 bottled water. Not all of the tables have an umbrella so you just have to hope you can get a covered table. But there's also a covered cabana area so that's a plus. We enjoyed the waterfront view, but we wouldn't come back. If you're a foodie you'll be disappointed in this place, but if you want a stunning view (and are cool with expensive average food) then you might...

First time going to this place with my coworkers (4 of us total) and we made a reservation for 8pm and when we arrived promptly at 8pm our table was taken from another party and the server said “I reminded that party that has your reservation is at 8pm so hopefully they leave...”

So we waited...

The table finally gets cleaned and we sat down. The server was nice but she messed up two of the four drinks that we ordered. We all ordered the same dish called Clams and Pancetta with white wine sauce and it was surprisingly good but I can’t say the same for the drinks. I had such high expectations for this place and but the service and drinks is why I won’t be coming back. Not to mention, our bill was separated 3 ways, and each one of our cards was charged several times in error. One card was charged 4 times and another card charged twice. I certainly hope that other customers are not being treated the same.

Just make sure you pay cash if you don’t want to risk the headache of being overcharge on your...
