Been eating at Le Dock for as long as I can remember.This season have eaten there 5 times so far.Service and food are great and we have never been dissatisfied with the unique salads,mains and great deserts.Drinks can be a little pricey but you only live once.Will continue to make this our go-to Restaurant on Fir read more

I've eaten in Le Dock several times this season, and I must say, not only is the food excellent, the service is as well. Daniel is very professional in managing the staff and has a welcoming personality. Chef Liam Beardslee is putting out delicious food at the perfect pace even when the restaurant is filled to capacity. Of course you have to try one of the specialty drink that Walter makes at the bar. read more

Have eaten 4 times over the summer and though the food is very good it is inconsistent. At times the main is served with the sauce.and accompaniments as described on the menu and other times they are entirely different. In addition the portions are rather small, which I feel do not justify the prices charged. The interior is beautifully designed but the acoustics are deafening. One has to shout across the table to be heard by fellow diners. Because of this most people opt to sit outside. That causes another problem. The reservation system is so screwed up that it is not uncommon to wait 30-90 minutes for your CONFIRMED reservation. I won't even comment on some of the wait staff as they are so clueless. What a shame world class chef Jean-George saddled with this less than amateur staff. read more

Ok. I have been here before, and it was meh. I don't know what happened, but this place is top.notch. What a change! Inventive, but approachable menu, human portions, and good wine menu. I didn't even recognize this place. Highly recommend the fried chicken. My friend had the heirloom tomatoes, and it was fresh & great. The beet appetizer was scrumptious, and those strawberries, are the best I have ever tasted. Wait staff is good. Manager is attentive. A great night out. read more

Food and svc just ok. Felt understaffed and we're out of key dishes. Would definitely like to see Fair Harbor have a dependable f&b.

I used to come here all the time (under previous owners) but the past two summers have been SUCH a disappointment. I ate there with my family last night and not only were the portions laughably small (even by chic NY standards), the food was average at best. Burger was over cooked. The tuna tartare used to be my favorite but it was mushy and bland. As if they had cut off the thick part of the tuna steak and used the flesh they scraped off the sinews. The cocktails were good but it was over priced and worse than underwhelming. AVOID IF YOU POSSIBLY CAN. NOT WORTH IT. read more

We were a table of 4 who stopped in for lunch on 7/7. Prices are high but that is no surprise for the height of tourist season on Fire Island. However, when you throw in average food, slow service, plus high prices - the result is plainly unsatisfactory. My friend ordered a 'shaved fish salad' appetizer and the wrong dish was delivered. When the waitress brought out the correct dish - we actually did a double take! A few shaved pieces of white fish in oil at the bottom of a saucer - that was it. Ridiculous for the price and the completely thoughtless presentation. We did not complain. We tipped appropriately - the staff are young people working summer jobs and need their money...but management/owners better get on the ball fast. Avoid this place- there are other, better places you enjoy on the island. read more

This is the best restaurant on Fire Island. Hands down. Make the trip if you are on the island. It's worth it. Great service. Creative dishes coupled with some very safe fare. Incredible sunset views. I'd be hard pressed to ask for more here on the island. read more

Fantastic Jerk Snapper. Just the right amount of spice. This place is the OG. Service setting drinks food. Has it all. Don't miss. Oh yea. And the Rocket Fuel is orbital ! read more

Run, don't walk, back home to your backyard grill...I've been here 6 times in the last two weeks and for my last reservation, the hostess (with the least-est) pointed my group to the table under the AC or the broken plastic table in the corner. The food is average tbh and it's all about the view. Please give some modicum of respect to loyal customers before you lose them. read more

1st time at Fair Harbor, joined A large group of ladies for lunch. We were offered several Nice choices, I had lobster tacos. Chunks of lobster not Shredded, and the base Marinade was very tasty & not Overwhelming. Black bean side Nice add on. The service was efficient and Orderly especially since we were a group of 20 people! The place is lovely, modern, but Cozy. I hope to get back there Again. Best wishes to you new owners. read more

Thankfully, Le Dock is now in the hands of the new owner, Michael Miller. I had heard about it all summer and I can honestly say the hype is justified. The food is AMAZING! I just got back to the city after making a special trip to try the new and improved Le Dock. Michael took it over this summer and has done a spectacular job. The food is much better than before and the service is impeccable. We shared two incredible entrees, the salmon and the lobster tacos. I've had lots of salmon in my life but this has to be one of the very best. The herb crust and red pepper coulis were brilliant. We were in the mood for pasta so Michael obliged. It was great, but next time we will have it with farro. Everyone has been raving about it so I can't wait for next summer to try it. I have had lots of fish tacos, but the lobster tacos here are decadent and delicious. I can't wait to return next summer. read more

They get away with murder as the only restaurant in this town. Ridiculously overpriced with a menu that never transcends meh. Really gone downhill under the new ownership. read more

We eat at LeDock very often and have enjoyed it very much! Food is excellent, servers always very attentive and nice! Will be looking forward to many more meals there! read more

Just had a great experience here - I've been coming to Fair Harbor since I was a child and eaten at many versions of this restaurant. This is one of the best by far. The food was delicious and it was great to see the owner so involved and genuinely interested in how we were doing. We had herb crusted salmon, stuffed artichoke, burrata and shrimp arrabbiata - all delicious! We even got takeaway drinks in a quick manner! I recommend this spot - go asap! read more

I had a wonderful lunch at Le Dock and the food was so amazing that I went back that evening for a lovely dinner. The food, friendly service and water views were all simply divine! I highly recommend this gem of a restaurant. read more

Under new ownership ! His name is not Jean George, but Michael Miller has taken this restaurant under far greater steward. This was a full step above the typical fire island restaurant experience. Delicious food, great service and an amazing ambience. Can't wait to get back here! read more

Great new management with friendly attentive service and great food. A refreshing change to the previous front runners of this magical restaurant on the bay. Hats off to the new management team for coming in and offering something special. Definitely great to have an eatery if this quality so close ! read more

Extremely over-priced and the food doesn't warrant it. The only plus side is the view over the water. If you time it right, you can watch the sun set and it's beautiful. That's really all though. The food is mediocre. read more

Great place to come for a bite to eat and a nice refreshing drink!! Strongly recommend! Beautiful view too.

First time to Fire Island and had a fantastic dinner with friends at Le Dock. The cocktails were great and the menu is full of delicious offerings. read more

We had a wonderful meal and experience at Le Dock. Michael and his staff were friendly, quick with kids food and order and accommodating. Highly recommend and we will be back! read more

We always eat in Ocean Beach so this was a nice change. Much better atmosphere. We enjoyed our meal and Good service. Also water Taxi ride a treat. read more

I think $35 for 2 small house margaritas is bit ridiculous...don't you? This place used to be a great laid back beach community restaurant/bar. Now it's an over priced, pretentious and boring restaurant that only the wealthy can go to. read more

This place is awesome!!! Fantastic food and service... even better fries... highly recommend for anyone in Fire Island!!

We didn't even have the chance to eat here! LOL, we made a reservation at 7:30pm 2 months in advance for my parents anniversary. After waiting for a 30 full minutes, they informed us we could sit at a group table with 2 others or continue to wait. What's the point of a reservation anyways! read more

Food was amazing. Best Marinara sauce I've ever had ...DELICIOUS.... Service was very good and the setting beautiful watching the sunset as we had our dinner. read more

The food was delicious and the service was terrific! I highly recommend this restaurant beautiful surroundings and friendly staff .The chef is outstanding read more

Casual dockside spot with great views and amazing food. Crabcake and Zuppa Di Pesce was delicious. Friendly staff all around. Would definitely recommend it . read more

If you're not friends with the owners, prepare yourself to be sidelined even if you have a reservation. The food is good, thanks Jean Georges, I guess, the service was not. We had made a reservation and requested an outdoor table of which we arrived a little early. Though there many empty tables outside, we were told at the hostesses station that seating "is not guaranteed." Okay, but there were plenty of tables outside, "can we sit at one of those?" We were told that we can sit at one of the table inside, and that the outdoor tables are reserved for "friends of the owner." Annoyed, we decided to sit at the bar right at the hostesses station. 20 minutes later a group of four arrive announcing that they had no reservation and debated sitting inside or out. After 30 debate, they choose to sit outside. The hostess looked at her manager, who looked at the non-reserved guests and nodded. They were shown to an outdoor table. So the outdoor table are, in fact guaranteed, but only for the elite who also, by the way don't need to make reservations. Also, the bar tender was polite, but obviously uninterested in the service industry, generally ignoring people unless called upon. Really, is this how you treat your patrons? At least tell your staff to come up with a less affronting explanation as to why you don't care about the plebs. Nice. read more

So, it's the time of Covid and I'm thinking to myself "What can I do to make our anniversary celebration special." I made a reservation at Le Dock, and was greeted like a long-lost friend. Measures to ensure hygiene and social distancing were in place and obvious. We enjoyed delicious cocktails, great calamari, a wonderful meal, topped off by a warm lava cake. It was worth every penny and I recommend it to anyone who's just plain tired of cooking or is commemorating a special occasion. read more

When you try a new restaurant you allow for some opening jitters: appetizers arriving at different times, being out of entrees and sides, etc. but there are certain non-negotiables. Burned garlic in the spinach, beards left on mussels (which were over cooked), and tainted shrimp (which resulted in a very unpleasant overnight experience) are simply not acceptable! Combined with being seated next to the kitchen in a half empty dining room because they were "completely booked with large parties" left us cold and $350 poorer! read more

The food was mediocre and expensive - You could eat much more tasty and well prepared food at a diner for one third the price. It was actually laughable - my dinner was dry and tasted like it just came out of the microwave, the cheeseburger and fries my son ordered tasted freezer burnt, the other dishes at our table were basic, thrown together and not tasty. Now I know why the place was so empty at 7pm. Would never go back. read more

Great location, awesome food and outstanding service! We sat on the patio which overlooks the Great South Bay. Order the Lobster Roll or Fish Tacos! read more

If you are in fire island - no mater where- this restaurant is a definite 'must'. It is not just an excellent dining experience- it is a night out. We went to fair harbor from ocean beach (Le Dock offered and paid for half the fare) to have a lovely sunset dinner- But what was so much more. We made fiends with every table - the mood was just intoxicating...and the Dock had a evening sunset ritual called 6ish when everyone comes to the Dock to watch the sunset- and Le Dock is a part of it all.. it's a great vibe. Not to mention-the food was delicious. The service was like friends/family - just the loveliest evening out. The apps were delicious- we had crispy calamari and tomato mozzarella My wife had the lobster tacos for dinner and I had the stuffed shrimp special... all were excellent I had a special Manhattan cocktail in hand and watched a beautiful sunset with seemingly 100 new friend and can't wait to visit again...yes definitely 5 stars. read more

Food can be anywhere for fair to very good- The service is a mess, but they try really hard and are always nice. Will likely get better as they figure out how to run big ideas through a tiny kitchen. Prices are very high for what you get, but hey...it's FI and the audience is a captive one. The price for drinks is higher that NYC hotspots. 2 drinks cost me 45 the other night. That's outrageous read more

Service - 4/5 Appetizers - 2/5 Entrees - 1/5 Not kidding, the entrees were an unmitigated disaster. It was much more galling because JGV's name was on it. I had extremely high hopes for the fried chicken and so did several of my dining companions. What we got tasted like roasted chicken that had been covered in thick tempura-esque batter and then pan-friend for 30 seconds. The burger looked so sad I didn't have the heart to ask my friend how it tasted. Apparently the pasta was "Okay" ... but, that's just not acceptable for JGV. The appetizers were "Meh." The sushi dish tasted like Pringles. The tuna tartare was fine, but basic. The mussels were just on the okay side of fishy. And the shrimp did not retain any of the flavor of the sauce they were cooked in. It was almost like they hadn't been marinated. In anything. I will say that our server was lovely (even if she could've been a tad more attentive in the drinks department) and the frosé was an enjoyable drink. TL;DR: Absolutely do not eat here. read more

Setting can't be beat but I preferred the old Le Dock. Restaurant owner/manager please note : You need to get rid of the drain flies; they hovered over our table throughout the meal. It's a relatively easy job and an experienced restaurant owner should know better. read more

Wow! After cooking for ourselves at home Covid-19 style for 2 weeks while on Fire Island, we ordered from Le Dock online for delivery tonight. The food arrived from Fair Harbor hot and aromatic. We were treated to an elevated dining experience. The flavors were astoundingly complex and yet smooth. We loved every bite. We had the crab cakes & calamari (travelled better than expected), followed by the salmon and fried chicken. The chef's talented touch infused the meal with surprisingly enjoyable experiences at every turn. The side sauces were sublime and enhanced the flavors of the items paired with them. You know it's special when each bite you take creates positive ripple effects throughout your taste-buds so much you have to recognize and appreciate the marvel even as you are swept away by the comfort and caring that clearly went in and comes out of it. The best take-out ever! read more

I used to eat here a lot, but went on Saturday and was very disappointed. The food wasn't as good as it used to be, and the prices were higher, but the worst part is that the place stinks! They obviously have a sewer problem that they need to address. Can't possibly be hygienic. read more
