    First time customer and we were happy to find a few seats at the bar so we could enjoy a drink before our 6:30 reservation. Our bartender was friendly and made one of the best lemon drop martinis I have ever had. The lemon was tart and the sugar rim was a nice offsetting balance. When we first entered and told them we were going to have a drink at the bar before our reservation, the hostess told us to come back up whenever we were ready and they would seat us. At 6:15 we went to the hostess and she told us they couldn't seat us until 6:30. What? We had given up our bar seats because they said they would seat us early and now they couldn't. She directed us to a lounge area to wait. At 6:30 she took the 4 of us to a table and there were only 3 chairs and 3 place settings. Right next to us was a table for 6 or 8 with no guests, therefore lots of empty chairs. She asked me to stand there and wait and she would bring me another chair. I'm sure I had a baffled look on my face because there was an empty chair at a table next to ours that we could have used. Our server noticed me waiting and hurried over and moved the chair. Super weird. Our server Taliah was a gem! She took our drink order while we viewed the menu and then made a few suggestions for us. The wine was a nice size pour. We, of course, had to share the cornbread which was highly recommended. We were able to enjoy the cornbread before we ordered our entrees, which I love. The cornbread was warm and soft inside with a crunch on the outside and the honey add on was "icing on the cake". For my entree I ordered the ribs which came with fries. Food arrived timely and hot. The ribs were fall off the bone and the bbq sauce was great. The fries are shoestring and were great, The slaw was also very tasty. Service remained outstanding and overall everyone was happy with their meals.

    Beautiful place.. reminds me of Hillstone group.

    1031 Main in Lakewood Ranch--really disappointing experience. We stopped in hoping to grab a quick drink at the bar, but were stopped by the host and told we couldn't go up. Meanwhile, another guest walked right past us and took the last two seats at the bar. When we asked about options, the manager suggested waiting 40 minutes for the next availability. We ended up leaving frustrated and let down. There seemed to be no consistency in how guests were being handled. Definitely expected a better experience--hope they improve.

    Jalapeño cornbread
    Karen C.

    Ambience great. Service amazing with multiple servers and managers making sure our experience was good. The Double Pork Chop was the most tender flavorful pork chop I've ever had. The cornbread appetizer was flavorful but jalapeño not overpowering. The inside was soft and flavorful with an outside buttery crust. The medallions were a daily special. The flavor profile was great with the Demi glaze and smashed potatoes but the texture was off, very chewy. We thought it was the cook as it came out rare but cooking a little more didn't fix it but they graciously offered the barrel cut filet to replace it which was tender, flavorful and perfectly cooked with nice sear. They even brought out chili while I waited. The chili was good but not my flavor profile being originally from the Midwest, more tomato and chunks of beef instead of ground beef. Overall amazing and will be back.

    I Was brought to this restaurant by my best friend. She had been here once before and raved about how good it was. She said the food and service was impeccable and after going myself I'd have to agree. Eric was our server and he was phenomenal! I would go back and request him for my server again! The one thing I was really surprised about is that they allow you to bring your own bottle of wine. They also don't charge a corking fee. They do have a full bar and wine list as well. We brought two bottles of wine and my friends also had cocktails beforehand while waiting for us to arrive. For an appetizer my husband and I ordered the cornbread. It was delicious as all the reviews stated! It was large enough for each of us to have a piece. I don't like hot & spicy and it wasn't which I appreciated. My girlfriend ordered a Ahi Tuna salad for an appetizer which she said was good. For dinner I ordered the Prime Rib Sandwich which was served with fries, au jus and horseradish. It was very good. My girlfriend and my husband both ordered the Danish Ribs! I had two of my husbands ribs and they were incredible! I would definitely order them next time. My friend's husband ordered the Tile Fish special and enjoyed it. For dessert my friends shared a slice of key lime pie and my husband and I shared a slice of Banana Cream pie. I didn't try the key lime pie but the banana cream pie was amazing and the slice was huge! We all shared it because it was that good! Probably the best banana cream pie I'd ever eaten. An enjoyable time was had by all! I find all the restaurants in Lakewood Ranch to be overpriced and this one is no different. The only difference is the food and service at this restaurant is probably better than most other restaurants in the area from my experience. Give it a try you won't be disappointed.

    Deviled egg appetizer
    Jennifer M.

    Best Filet I've had anywhere! Better than any high end steak house. We ate here for lunch and we throughly enjoyed the food and service. The ambiance is awesome. Casual but elevated. They play great music too! We ordered the Deviled eggs for an appetizer, the Filet w/ green beans and the Thai Steak salad. I was excited for the strawberry shortcake but they didn't have it today. Highly recommend coming here and we'll definitely be back.

    Great small Ceasar salad

    Enjoyed our anniversary dinner here on a busy Sunday Easter night. We tried to go to the bar to have a drink first but all seats were taken so we got our drinks & sat in their casual room outside the bar & met a lovely couple while sipping our drinks. We then sat down at our table & a guy took our drink order & then another server came over to introduce herself as our server & that they worked as a team. On the table we did find it very odd & out of place that they had sugar on the table as well as an old-fashioned salt shaker & Louisiana hot sauce. They do not serve complimentary bread. My husband had the small Ceasar salad to start & I must say it was delish! For dinner, I got the halibut special without the butter sauce that the server kept recommending for an add'l $7. Who needs to drink a grilled fish with sauce? It was fantastic & I swapped out the veggie for the yummy skinny fries that were addicting! My husband enjoyed the pork & brought some home as it was a large portion. We didn't get dessert as we didn't care for the 4 options that they had. Wish they had a cheesecake or carrot cake or tiramisu. All in all we had a nice experience & will be back!

    After work yesterday we were able to grab a table here and try 131 for the first time. The appearance outside off the get go was very warm and inviting and the inside was just as nice and we thought good start. The waiter was a well spoken and all ways available when we needed him. We ordered the jalapeño cornbread for an appetizer, prime rib sandwich along with a side wedge salad and Thai salad for our entree, and the banana pie for dessert. The cornbread was really good, not the best I've ever had, but worth ordering if you like cornbread. The wedge salad was crisp and tasty (the blue cheese dressing had a nice garlic flavor if that is something you like), the prime rib sandwich was tasty and tender and served with a good side of au jus (worth ordering again), the Thai salad was very good as well with a lot of steak to fill you up. Lastly the banana pie was really good, if I could remove one thing it would be the extra banana slices on the outside ( a bit of an overkill ), but the crust was delicate and the filling just right. I will return to try the steak next time and comparing to all the other steak restaurants I would say it's a competitor. Food 8.5 Atmosphere 9.0 Service 9.0

    Cornbread
    Courtnie C.

    Beautiful atmosphere and friendly service. The food didn't quite wow us this time, but we'd consider trying again. We don't eat pork, and many of the popular dishes include it, so we may have ordered differently than most reviews suggest. The cornbread wasn't our favorite, but the fries were a pleasant surprise! My chicken was solid, my husband enjoyed his steak. If we went back, we would order differently like the crab cakes or salmon and tuna appetizer -- they looked great from what we saw. The fresh-pressed lemonade and cocktails were also refreshing.

    Shrimp cocktail. Fresh and big.
    Jessica H.

    What a lovely restaurant: Dale was very kind to us and checked with us a few times. He befriended our son over the burger. Ambiance: fresh and clean since it's brand spanking new. Moody booths and lighting, nice warm wood accents Service: very nice and attentive. needed water refilled a little more but that's my only con I noticed. Food: YUM! The tuna tower was my favorite. Husband loved how big and fresh the shrimp cocktail was. The burger was kid approved and the fries were devoured quickly. Nice skinny fries but not soggy or overly crispy. I got the blackened chicken pasta and it was perfect. Nice spicy flavor but not over bearing. Good amount of protein. I'd want a few more vegetable pieces but I also like my veggies. We will definitely be in again!

    I was told that they are BYOB friendly with no corkage fee... is this correct?

    Can you sit at the bar to eat?

    YES!!

    Is there a specific happy hour menu or pricing?

    No happy hour menu. Tuesdays are half off bottle wine.

    Do they have tvs in the bar?

Cubed yellow fin tuna: Also a very large portion and good flavour but it could have gone without the tomatos (and I love tomato's) And perhaps served with a rice cup or something to scoop it up. Everything is diced up so it makes it kind of messy to eat. We got a burger to split. we didn't order a side but the waiter I guess put them in anyhow. The FF without the poutine are just ok. The burger on the other hand was really good and cooked perfectly. We split everything and took home left overs, as it was a lot of food.

I love Dry Dock Waterfront Grill and I always visit when I am in the Sarasota area. Dry Dock is always busy so I am also sure to make a reservation in advance using Open Table. Typically we sit inside but I know the back patio is popular too. If your timing and patience is perfect, you can also get a nice a nice window seat in the dining room that has sweeping views of Sarasota Bay. The inside atmosphere is bright and airy and although airy often translates to loud, Dry Dock thoughtfully put noise dampening panels on the ceiling. As far as food, I don't think you can go wrong. I always get something with grouper whether it be an entree, sandwich or tacos. On my most recent visit I got the grouper filet with coconut shrimp because I had originally been eyeing up the coconut shrimp as an appetizer. Ultimately, we decided to get the rock crab claws for an appetizer which were good but more work than I planned even though they were pre-cracked. I felt like a Neanderthal trying to eat those crab claws in such a nice restaurant. No offense to the Neanderthals, of course! I have no idea what my husband had as it disappeared. After entrees, apps and bread, we were too stuffed for dessert. I think our server was Cari and she was awesome! Attentive, friendly, funny and quite possibly a mind reader and magician. She saw the hanger in my eyes and made bread magically appear. I hope I got her name correct because she was superb! Shout out to all of the great staff members at Dry Dock -we've never had a bad experience. I love Dry Dock and it will forever stay in my Sarasota rotation.

I was seated facing a wall so I didn't get a good long look at my surroundings but between what I did see and looking at photos posted on Yelp the theme seems to be chickens. Our server was friendly and available to answer any questions as we spent time looking over the menu. I settled on The Hitman, a double patty smashed burger with American cheese, hen sauce, fried mozzarella, Nueske's bacon, with a side of garlic parm fries. It isn't listed on the online menu but there is a note the menu changes frequently so it may not match the day's offering. Let me start by saying that two of the people at my table got salads and were disappointed that there was too much lettuce and too little other stuff. With that out of the way, let me talk about The Hitman, which I loved. What is Nueske bacon? This is a special smoked flavorful bacon made by the Nueske family. Fork & Hen uses thick cut, and there were two slices on my burger. My burger towered so high there was no hope of picking it up, so I attacked it with knife and fork. Being made with Focaccia bread certainly added to the height, but so did a thick block of mozzzrella cheese. The cheese, melted on the inside and crispy on the outside, was substantial. I would be careful biting into a hot block of melted cheese, think pizza mouth. In my photo I broke into one corner to show that is cheese, so much cheese. The burger patty part topped with American cheese was by itself great, like you might find at a home cookout or Smashburgers. Other toppings were there but for me this was meat and a lot of cheese. And as much bread as you want. I loved my surprising good cheeseburger.
