The Dock at River Rocks — Restaurant in Viera

It is worse than Squidlips or Captain hirams The food was a two out of 10 at best My friend got blackened mahi tacos. And we got served old sour fish. Manager claimed it was possibly the tail of the mahi???? Parmesan chicken you get a 8 ounce chicken breast with Parmesan on it. With no seasoning. Your choice of fries, vegetables, ashed potatoes plantains sweet potato fries. You can only pick two sides. For plantains they give you four for mashed potatoes you get a 6 ounce scoop of instant mashed potatoes. Chicken is hard and chewy. Mahi Pokey bowl. The three ingredients are white rice, coleslaw, and one piece of grilled mahi. There is no sauce or any other toppings. Prime rib sandwich tasted more like a flank steak sandwich. And happy hour is only at the bar, not restaurant wide. food poisoning. Service fees. And a tip. $80 later me and my two friends walked away, hungry and not pleased. After bringing it up to the manager, he said I don’t make the prices we are dealing with inflation crisis basically, sorry that your meal was bad. We hope you might return again. crowd is largely old retired white people. It was hard to spot a person under 50. And a different race. I have better food at my old high school. cafeteria. I have had better service from a vending machine. I got robbed without a gun. Save yourself the trouble and go to a real Riverside restaurant. For the same prices, you can get double the food, double the flavor and double as much fun. At Captain Hirams’s in Sebastian. or Squidlips at Eau Gallie. The fresh catch is not fresh. The waiter screwed up the check. Never got a water to drink. And I’m just writing this because I haven’t had such a bad experience with a place until until today it is just actually surprising how angry they got me and I really don’t get angry lol. I’m sure if you’re old and white and you live in Suntree you probably enjoy this place but if you want the younger crowd to ever join your regular crowd. Gonna have to do something. My friend got a piña colada and she said that she didn’t even taste any alcohol in her drink. She also said that she felt like her stomach hurt really bad after she ate and she also got the Parmesan chicken. Don’t be fooled by the looks on the inside and the jazz music and the live bands, you can get much better food from Dollar tree. And likely better service. Would like a refund. Service fee what is that? Who am I giving the money to. Lobster crab dip, taste like it was microwaved. Ton of salt on one chip none on the others, chip tasted like it was cooked in old Oil. Water taste straight from tap. Either that or ice machine needs to be cleaned out, super strong minerally taste to the water. Waited 3 months for the perfect opportunity to come and this place is great if you have no tastebuds and are on Medicare.haha I’ll let you know if I throw up any...

Usually a solid choice, today was the worst experience we've had in a long time. Stopped in for a quick lunch after church. Seated promptly and waiter appeared promptly. Ordered drinks and meals at the same time, indicating we were in some what of a hurry. Enjoying our drinks. They are getting empty. Or shades spot is getting more and more sunny. Hey, it's been like 40 minutes since we ordered. Flag down waiter.... Hey, how's the kitchen doing? He responds that they are doing their best. Disappears. No drink refills... First real contact with him since we ordered. He reappears.... Sorry there was a glitch in the computer... What did you order? I will put it in as urgent. Umm. Ok. Might be he forgot, might be the computer. He walks away... No real sincere offering of remorse, no can I get you another drink... Or even refill our drinks. Sitting there for another ten minutes. That's it! manager please. The manager comes over eventually and I didn't recognize him since I never saw him walk the floor once while sitting there. He then explains everything the waiter just explained. Nothing more... A very weak smile and no empathy... Almost felt like we might be bothering him. Adds that the server rebooted and they knew this and had no way to know which tickets got deleted. So? Nobody reviewed their tables and orders? Just said oh well and we will see who complains. Been an hour at this point and after this repeat performance we were pretty upset. At this point in most restaurants you get... I am so sorry. This is our fault. Your meal is on me. We hope you come back. Not until my wife put him on the spot did he offer anything. We were we were done waiting and are leaving. The customer service oriented manager then asked us to wait some more so he could run up to his office and get us some free appetizer coupons. We walked out. Just so disappointing. Things go wrong, everybody understands that. There are simple well known techniques restaurants do to deal with it. This was a waiter and manager failure. This was completely fixable. Will be a little while until we return. Hopefully better managers will be...

The atmosphere is stunning! Love the setting of dining on the docks, under lights and on the beautiful river. Very serene. The service was also good! Our server was attentive, kind and had a great knowledge of the specials and regular menu. The drinks were…ok…. they were out of not just the first liquor that was offered on the menu but the back up as well. So our orders were house and the price did not reflect this change of quality. Our party had 2 martinis each and out of the 8 only 1 was served in a martini glass. The rest were in whiskey glasses… it took away from the enjoyment of the drink. The food was also just ok. Presentation is severely lacking for their prices and quality of the food is sub par. Again they were “sold out” of many things, all being in my own personal order so I had to choose something different every time I made a selection. Very disappointing. The chowder was gelatinous and so thick it stuck to the spoon… worst chowder I’ve ever ordered and it was left uneaten. The pros: gorgeous views and location, good service The cons: no parking, the drinks were all low quality liquors, the presentation and taste of the food was not...
