    Red. Velvet. Cake.
    Stephanie G.

    Absolutely incredible cuisine! The food was so good we came back twice in two nights! We ordered the watermelon salad, fish and chips, and chicken dish; everything was divine! We also enjoyed the crab cake! Chuck was our server and was great. Would highly recommend for anyone who is looking for superb food with friends! Try the chef's specials! Delightful! Red velvet cake and pavlova are excellent desserts!

    I had brunch here today. The fried potatoes with Old Bay were excellent. The spinach and feta cheese egg white frittata was good, but that says more about a healthy option than the way it was prepared. I appreciate that the chef didn't skimp on the spinach. Service was fine, though our server was pretty slow to bring ketchup and hot sauce after the food was delivered.

    My husband and I ate at the Taproom for dinner and the dark wood definitely makes you feel like you are in an old British pub. The appetizers were both outstanding - crab soup and the crab egg roll. I would say it's the best cream of crab soup I have ever had. The crab egg roll comes with avocados, grapefruit, and almonds and it was hard to share this dish as well. My husband ordered the lamb curry and I had the flounder fish and chips. He enjoyed his lamb curry but the portion could have been a little bigger. I enjoyed the fish and chips but would have preferred a lighter batter. You could tell the fish was fresh which is always a plus. Of course I saved room for the Smith Island cake which is many layers of alternating chocolate frosting and vanilla cake. The homemade chantilly cream was divine and really made the cake. I would no doubt return here next time I visit Oxford. I also love the history of the Robert Morris Inn and it's neat to dine in a historical inn.

    Dark and stuffy I would not return. Service was good but the food mediocre at best, particularly for the prices (which are DC but not close to quality). Casear salad to start was good, but how hard is it to screw up? Main course - "crispy" duck. 1st off nothing was crispy. It was warm and the vegetables on the cool side. I was looking forward to the Brussels sprouts with bacon, and received about 4 sprouts. The roasted root vegetables were dry. My wife had fish and chips with green peas. She was very disappointed. The best thing was the Smith Island cake (which is not made there).

    Tasty crab balls and fish bits. Attentive service. Nice atmosphere in what seems like a quiet town

    Incredible eggs Benedict with crabmeat. Warm and cozy atmosphere. It's pretty neat the history that surrounds this restaurant

    First time at docs in several years. Our party of four came by boat and were able to use one of…read moretheir slips on the side of the restaurant. They recently completed their outdoor dining renovation which consisted of a lower covered area and an upper deck with sweeping views of the tred Avon. We opted for the lower seating area as they only had high tops on the upper deck. The top deck also has shade covering. Great view of the river from both locations and we were very comfortable on a hot day due to a nice breeze as well as the fans they have on the deck. Chelsea was our server and she was efficient and personable. We opted for an order of onion rings, crab cake, mussels, coconut shrimp and a Burrata salad. we usually go to Capsize Restaurant by boat and docs clearly is bringing in more people which I suspect is largely related to their location on the river. Our food was mixed with the crab cake being a solid two star with too much filler and poor seasoning, tasted like one of the nasty crabcakes we get in Florida. The coconut shrimp were done nicely but the provided sauce was so hot that it took our guest breath away. My muscles were a solid four star and they mixed in spicy sausage and shrimp as part of the mix and it was very good. The garlic bread that came with it was in my opinion forgettable. The Burrata salad was a solid four star plus as was the avocado crab gazpacho which our guest had as an appetizer. Onion rings were OK but straight out of a box. All in all, I would gladly return especially during happy hour as I suspect they do a very big business.

    We live in SOMD but we visit Doc's by boat frequently through the summer. We always sit at the…read moreoutside bar. The staff has always been super friendly, and drinks and food have always come out very quickly. They have very good crushes and their seared ahi tuna is my favorite menu it. It's always fresh and a good cut of tuna. Many times when I order seared tuna at restaurants there is always a section that is extremely chewy but that's never been the case at Doc's. Their wings are also great and popular amongst the group we typically go to Doc's with. If coming by boat, I recommend getting there early to try and snag a slip or spot on the backside as it gets very rough docking in the front or side of the restaurant.
