We happened to have won a gift card for Dockside. Tonight we came and had the most delicious meal. Our waitress was Haley and she was very friendly and pleasant. The atmosphere was great, the view of the water and boats was nice as well.

An absolute find!
Last minute reservation on the screened-in porch for an anniversary meal, and it was more than we could have asked for! The food was delicious, the waterfront view was so peaceful, and the staff was so much more than just accommodating.
We will for SURE be back.

Wedding Review Here! When we first began dreaming of our wedding, we knew two things would be key to a successful reception–dancing and food. When we stumbled across the Dockside Restaurant and realized we could book out the entire place, we couldn’t believe our luck! Here are our top four reasons you should absolutely choose Dockside for your reception venue:
(1) The Food – Kendra and the team were eager to work with us to craft the perfect wedding menu. We have a lot of allergies as well as foodies in the family, and they balanced the desire for delicious food with perfect signature cocktails with the need to keep shellfish and gluten far away from a few guests. We ended up with about 120 guests, and they did a great job accommodating everything. This included mini-lobster rolls and oyster shooters with gazpacho as appetizers, HUGE portions of price rib, delicious fresh fish, a great vegan option (usually overlooked but not here!), and killer desserts.
(2) The View and Ambience – York Harbor at sunset is magical, and the Dockside is in a perfect spot to enjoy it. Everyone loved the expansive green lawn, the small rocky beach, the cute gazebo, and the long dock that puts you among the sailboats. Our guests enjoyed the grounds so much, some of them almost missed the start of dinner. Dockside itself does their beautiful location justice with large, floor to ceiling windows that let you gaze at the water as the sun went down, and an enclosed porch that meant our guests could take a break from the dance floor without feeling as if they were leaving party. As a bonus, the Dockside’s floor plan makes it ideal for a dancing.
(3) The Staff – We worked with two, wonderful event coordinators due to a long engagement. Our first, Heather, helped put us at ease by walking us through rainy day plans, confirming our choice of DJ, and introducing us to the Dockside’s expansive menu. Our second event coordinator, Kendra was as enthusiastic as we were about our event! She helped us work out a plan for all the allergies, and coordinated the special touches mentioned below. All our servers were wonderful! They were attentive, fast, and so kind!! It was clear that everyone on the staff wanted us to feel good and for the event to go smoothly.
(4) Special Touches – Kendra helped us plan two signature cocktails and one signature mocktail at no extra cost! The venue was accommodating of our using a school bus to pick up and drop off our guests. And we took the option of extending our night by an hour–and all of our servers stayed through the entire event!
If you are considering the Dockside for your wedding reception then look no further – this is the place!
PS. We had our ceremony at a different location, but we are confident that Kendra and the group would also do a fabulous job hosting that, too. The view of the harbor is gorgeous and they have a comprehensive rainy day plan. So much so that they were actually our rain location despite our ceremony being elsewhere.

This is a review for the Dockside Restaurant in York Harbor, Maine. I went for dinner tonight(7/12/25), with a large party. As I think back on this outing, I can say that it was an excellent experience! The atmosphere was terrific – we ate on the screened-in porch – the food was great(duck, braised short ribs, lobster, haddock), and the service was superb. Our server, Josephine, was as good as it gets, upbeat, energetic, and flawless in serving 9 people! Putting all of this together, it was a wonderful night, so very enjoyable. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone, and be very confident that they would love it!!

Dockside is one of my favorite wedding venues to photograph! I’ve shot many weddings there and I’ve loved every one of them. The staff is top notch, the grounds are beautiful, and view is unmatched, and during your reception you’ll probably be visited by a nosy great blue heron. He’s popped up at most of the weddings I’ve shot there. There are so many wedding venues in Southern Maine, you probably can’t do any better than Dockside.

We came here for my friend’s birthday and the food was incredible! I had the Pork Shank special and the meat just fell off the bone. It was absolutely delicious. Everyone cleared their plates. Our server, Charlotte, was great! The view was very pretty. Excellent evening.

When we visit York Harbor we try and eat at the Dockside. This trip, we ate there, stayed at the Quarters and ate on the Deck as well. Great place with great food (love the drunken lobster). The waiter was a bit quiet so hard to hear with the full room and service a touch slow. We used an app to book the dinner reservation but I failed to ask for a porch table so we were seated inside at a table by the window.

We had our wedding at Dockside in September of 2025 and it was simply amazing! The grounds are stunning and perfect backdrop for any wedding ceremony. The staff made us feel like the center of the universe from the very beginning of the planning process all the way until the end of the night. Our guests told us over and over again how special the venue felt and how great the staff was! The menu was delicious and easily customizable. We cannot wait to go back for the rest of our lives. Dockside simply made our wedding amazing!

Had a fantastic experience from start to finish. Our server Brittany was great, the place was packed and she always seemed to come back to the table at the right times. Dockside in my opinion has the best food York has to offer and if not the best, easily a top 3 view as well. We showed up early for our reservation and were still able to be seated and moved to an outside table. The prices are not the for the faint of heart but I believe in paying for quality, and that is what you get at Dockside. Definitely stopping in the next time we are up that way!
