My family was at the Dock Cafe on Labor Day. We expected a crowd so we ate inside. The food is bland- had the Salmon Sandwich - The wait staff was very rushed and the hostess was not professional/polished. Won't go back.... (more)

A quick note of appreciation to the Dock for last night's New Year's dinner...As "regulars," we've always found it warm and welcoming, quieter in the winter than in the busy summer months. Cozy. Fires in the... (more)

This is a great place to eat. They have outdoor seating right on the river. It is a great atmosphere and you can watch the boats go by while you eat. They also have great food and good service.... (more)

"We will never go back to the restaurant. Although the view was great the food and service are awful so I would recommend spending your money elsewhere. We went to The Dock Cafe this evening for dinner and my family... (more)

This restaurant features a contemporary architecture designed by a local architect. It is on the banks of the St. Croix River, providing views of either the river or the river bluffs from all of the tables. Nice... (more)

Granted we visited for the first time in March, so we didn't have any view to speak of, however, I don't want to return based on the food or atmosphere. The restaurant decor is dated and just plain ugly. The food was very... (more)

The beef tournedos are amazing! Two fork tender medallions of beef sauteed in butter and in a wine peppercorn reduction, with home made mashed potatoes make a date worth going on. Great outdoor view, and the best view... (more)

<b>In Short<br></b>The atmosphere is homey and casual, with a touch of elegance. Diners are a mishmash of day trippers and professionals dressed for the office. Seating is available at the bar or the dining room,... (more)

The food was once very good - but now - 7/9/04 -sat outside and though the river was beautiful, my meal was served in a red plastic basket with a waxed(?) paper in the bottom - reminding one of 'Burger In A Basket'. Halfway... (more)

Good, but not great. The king salmon chile spiced tuna was an interesting creation and it was very good. The encrusted walleye was enjoyed as was the shrimp diablo. We had no service problems, they were more than... (more)

We visited Dock Cafe for a group lunch, and were pleasantly suprised. The place has a swanky feel, even though it is a "cafe". The service personnel were very attentive, and worked hard to make the experience... (more)

Ate here on a warm summer evening for a special occasion -- I'd go back in a minute. Steak was fork-tender; salmon was perfect; shiitake-encrusted chicken breast was mouth-watering. Instead of waiting for an... (more)
