I came here for my birthday with my friends, and we had an amazing time! The atmosphere was beautiful, with flowers everywhere that made the space feel elegant and inviting. Our waitress was fantastic--she was very knowledgeable about the menu and gave excellent recommendations. For starters, we ordered the fried calamari and the Baja fish tacos, and both were absolutely delicious. The highlight of the meal was the seafood linguini--it was AMAZING! The sauce was incredibly flavorful, and every bite was delicious. They also played great music, which added to the overall vibe of the restaurant. Between the beautiful aesthetics, outstanding food, and excellent service, we truly enjoyed ourselves. I would definitely recommend this place and can't wait to come back! read more

Docks had all the potential during my visit but it definitely fell short. I do feel like it's because we were a big party and our waiter just wasn't attentive or very personable. I don't even remember if he introduced himself to us by name. The ladies at the front desk were very friendly, welcoming, and helpful. It was also very hot in there (could be from the LED lights that were by our table), they ended up bringing us a standing fan to help. We celebrated my bff's birthday here on a Saturday night at 7:30 with a group of 15. The ambiance in here is definitely fitting for a birthday or any special occasion. Lots of floral and colorful decor for lots of photo ops. They had a DJ who played a great mix of music and kept the vibe all night. They also had someone taking professional pictures which came out really good but it's definitely overpriced. $25 per photo, not printed, just airdropped to you. Drinks: I started with my favorite pornstar martini but it wasn't that good here. The color was off and it tasted more like juice. I ended up switching to the brunch punch which was much stronger, it's essentially a rum punch. The white sangria was good too. Food: we had a prefix menu with the apps and desserts served family style and each person gets 1 entree for $125 per person, drinks not included. The ribs and wings were the best of the appetizers. The calamari was good but the shrimps were overcooked and soft. For my entree I went for the seafood linguini. The sauce on this was really good and flavorful but the linguini was overcooked. The portion size was good as well with a good amount of seafood in it. I also tried the seafood paradise which is a fried rice with shrimp and salmon served in a pineapple, it was good. She got a side of the mango habanero sauce to go with it and it actually paired well. I would have to go back for just a one on one dinner to see how I truly feel about them. read more

I really wanted to like Docks Off 5th. The space has undeniable potential - the decor is sharp, and the playlist is actually curated with some taste. But unfortunately, you can't eat the wallpaper, and the "hospitality" here is a total ghost show. I arrived for an 8:15 PM reservation and was still standing around like a background extra at 9:10 PM. When I checked in at 8:40, I was given the classic "ten more minutes" brush-off. Even a personal intervention from the owner at 8:49 - complete with a promise that we were next for the very next table for two - amounted to absolutely nothing. We ordered a round of drinks to pass the time, but after an hour of watching the staff meander aimlessly while we remained unseated, we finally threw in the towel. It became glaringly obvious that a table was never actually coming. A few observations from the waiting area: (1) The Atmosphere: Curiously, for a restaurant, it smelled like... nothing. No garlic, no searing proteins, no aromas of a kitchen in flight. It was sterile and odd. (2) The Food: While I didn't get to taste anything (since seating apparently requires an act of God), the plates I saw passing by lacked any visual "wow" factor. They looked uninspired at best. Leaving a restaurant hungry and disappointed after holding a confirmed reservation is a first-class way to ensure a customer never returns. Docks Off 5th has the "vibe" down, but they've completely forgotten that they are actually in the business of serving people. They have a mountain of work to do if they want to be taken seriously. read more

Docks off 5th is under new management - what a disappointment. We came here for brunch and they made drastic changes to the menu. Before the boozy brunch would include more entrees than the Fantastic Four and you had a choice of mimosas, bloody mary, sangria or Bellini's. Now your only choice is Mimosa's so we were okay with that but we wanted the juice on the side and the waiter informed us he couldn't serve the juice on the side. We opted to order the bottle of Champagne for $68 and make our own. I was insulted when they came back to the table with J. Roget twist off champagne which cost about $5 a bottle. I immediately asked to speak to the manager and informed her that I will not pay $68 for that bottle. The food was okay, I spoke highly of this restaurant then my cousin found something in her food and refused to eat. I don't know whats going on at Dock's on 5th. I understand with new management come changes but to downgrade your quality is not what I was expecting. read more

3.5 rounded to 4 I tried Docks Off 5th during restaurant week on a spur of the moment outting. It is definitely more about the vibe and aesthetic than the food itself, but overall it was still a pleasant experience. The servers were friendly and attentive, although there was a bit of confusion midway through our meal when our server switched and we weren't told. We waited for a while thinking the original person was coming back before another server eventually stepped in to help. Once that was sorted out, service was perfectly fine. The food was good... It wasn't mind-blowing, but satisfying. Portions were fair and actually large enough for my friend and me to share comfortably. One small thing to note is that the menu posted online appears to be outdated, though the current menu isn't drastically different. Atmosphere-wise, this place clearly leans into the aesthetic. It was pretty lively, and a bit loud between music and parties happening, and a lot of people seemed to be there mainly for photos. Walking down the steps into the restaurant is really pretty, and they have a flower wall that's great for pictures. Just be aware that if it's busy you may have to wait your turn or share the photo space with others. I'm not sure how much of the space still reflects its old Johnny Utah days, but it's definitely a spot worth trying at least once. I probably wouldn't go out of my way to return if I had other options, but I also wouldn't mind going again if someone else suggested it. You just have to go in knowing the kind of scene to expect. Overall: good service, decent food, and a strong aesthetic vibe. read more

First time at Docks Off 5th for a Galentine's dinner with my book club, and it was such a fun night. We all agreed the food wasn't necessarily the standout of the evening, but everything else truly made up for it. The ambience was 10/10, beautiful atmosphere, great energy, and the perfect vibe for a girls' night out. It felt lively without being overwhelming, which made it easy for us to relax, chat, and enjoy each other's company. And the drinks? Also 10/10. Creative, well made, and definitely the highlight of the menu for us. read more

You can't deny the aesthetics of this place!!! The food was good for the most part (4/5) but I think it could be better for the price and a downtown restaurant -- I will warn the menu is not super extensive. Overall the service was mid to me. The ladies at the front were kind and helped with the coat check. We had a switch with our waitstaff which was okay, it just wasn't communicated. What REALLY disappointed me was buying premium liquor just to be served well liquor -- I didn't even get to take a picture of our food. Not only was this confirmed for me but it was very clear in the quality of drink we ordered. This type of practice is UNETHICAL and is the reason why I will not return and made me give the place 3 out of 5 stars. read more

Not for the easily overstimulated, this places is a girly night out explosion. So much pink and flowers but super fun! You would never know this place is here, as it is downstairs but walking in the place feels very spacious for being in the basement. I went with a friend to celebrate so we went all out! For apps: Lobster Bisque; 7/10, not a huge lobster fan but this was very good. Angry Lobster sushi roll; 8/10 this was a great cooked sushi roll. Sticky Ribs; 6/10 not really for me as this is a knife and fork place but the glaze was good. Tuna tacos; 10/10 could have 12 of these! For mains, we split two: Seafood Paradise (which no longer comes in a pineapple); 7/10, this was much spicer then we thought it would be the rice was good but needed a minute or two longer. We also ordered a chicken with potatoes dish that is either no longer on the menu or a special but was actually one of my favorite meals of the year so I hope they bring it back! We were absolutely stuffed at this point but we still got the two different Sundae for shits and giggles, I'm actually allergic to strawberries for the Fried Oreo sundae was the perfect way to end the meal. For drinks, our waitress suggested the watermelon lemon drop & the lemon drop martini. I was more a fan of the watermelon version as it was less tart but both were great! They came with a cute little floating duck in them. read more

Great location and decor...well outstanding decor! If you want a instagrammable tourist location this is it! Flowers everywhere..snap a pic at every spot! However, thats where the vibe ended for me...the food was ok but held no wow factor. We had to send back the lamb because it was overcooked after asking for medium..our potatoes were cold and calamari soggy...the dessert carousel was a beautiful sight but all the desserts fell short. Funfact...this location use to be jhonny utah's read more

Absolutely adored the ambiance of this place, so many spots for pictures and creative cocktails to match the aesthetic. Service was a little confusing as different people were waiting on us and some drinks got mixed up. But otherwise pretty attentive since everyone is serving. I originally wanted the truffle steak but was sold out. That's really the only option that caught my eye so I ended up getting the seafood linguine. I personally thought the dish itself was a bit fishy, not enough for me to send it back but enough to just eat and get it over with. Calamari was ok, nothing extraordinary. Seems like this place is really based on vibes and being instagram worthy but other than that we had a wonderful time. read more

Docks Off 5th - Walk in staircase - Seafood Near Me - New York, New York

Must be the most breathtaking instagram picture worthy place I've seen in a while The entrance is just stunning As soon as you open the door you are greeted by some stairs filled with beautiful flowers The host immediately greets you We had a party of 13 for my mother birthday! We had the private room. We had a SHARED SIGNATURE MENU, rounded up to $100 per person. This included delicious food placed throughout the table, enough to feed everyone. The drinks are not included so people placed their own orders for drinks. ( drinks are ok) Our waiter ( Ignacio ) was just so amazing Very warm and supper attentive to our party . We met the manager ( Joe ) and he is also fantastic! I really love that fact that you can hear the music, but are still able to hold a conversation! I'm INLOVE with the Halloween decorations right on time for OCT 1st The only negative is that street parking is horrible! lol ( what can we expect from manhattan) N the restaurant is in the PRICEY side ! read more

Some friends and I had brunch at this spot for a friends birthday. The ambience is absolutely beautiful. As soon you walk down the stairs, the wall and ceilings are covered with beautiful flowers. This place is a photographically appeasing. We started our experience with our sweetheart server, Garrett who took care of us like we were all friends. We all ordered cocktails, two friends had rum punches, 2 had the spicy mango and 1 had a sangria. We all enjoyed our drinks but baby that spicy mango with the jalapeño on top Definitely gave me a kick. It was really spicy and sweet but most importantly delicious. The birthday girl chose the appetizers for the table. We had the crab cake that one tasted a little of and it was delicious. We also had ribs and shrimp that i didn't taste and lastly the wings that I destroyed. I'm not a seafood gal, lol. Everyone raved about the ribs and crab cake. For entrees, three of us ordered the seafood paradise which is the open faced pineapple with jerk salmon, shrimp and lobster. You can customize the order to a degree since one of my friends didn't want the shrimp. Another friend had the salmon with asparagus and I had the blackened chicken Ceasar wrap with fries that was absolutely delicious. We were all very satisfied with the food and nicely full. I didn't have room for dessert which is a shock. The bday girl ordered a slice of cake that she enjoyed. Before we left we made sure we got our pics from all of cool spots in the restaurant. Another thing i loved about this place is that the music wasn't blasting and we could hear each others conversations without yelling. This is definitely a spot to check out. read more

Visited on a Tuesday without a reservation and was still able to be accommodated, which was a nice surprise. Street parking was available, which made getting there easy. The food and presentation were both good overall. The margarita flight, however, was a bit watery. I'd probably skip that next time. I ordered the Seafood Paradise and it was a 10/10. It had a nice spicy kick and was really flavorful. The boneless chicken unfortunately reminded me a little of the Tyson frozen bag from the grocery store, so that was probably the weakest item we tried. Our bill came out to $219 for two people, which felt pretty reasonable for a dinner in an NYC-type setting. The environment and ambiance were great, perfect spot if you're looking to take pictures. Overall, a solid experience and I'd definitely go back, just with a slightly different drink order next time read more

I would go there again for photos only. Ambiance is great. I ordered sushi for $28 and it barely had lobster in it. It was mostly rice. Staff were kind enough to replace it with tuna tacos but... the tuna had ice in it - frozen. Linguini was a bit heavy. Seafood paradise was not spicy for jerk standards. Mango mocktail was good. Creme brûlée was kind of hard inside, not creamy. Birthday sparkler was $6. It was a nice add. read more

I took my friend here for her birthday and we had such a great time. The wait wasn't long, and the atmosphere was beautiful full with flowers everywhere. They have a nice bar area, as well as a private room you can book for large parties or special events. The DJ was amazing that night, playing all the best 90s hits, and had us singing the songs the whole night. The food was good, especially the appetizers. I really enjoyed the ribs and sushi. The menu leans more toward finger foods like sliders, fries, and seafood options, rather than full entrées like pasta or rice dishes. For my friend's birthday, I ordered the Ferris Wheel dessert, which came with fried Oreos, chocolate-covered strawberries, and cheesecake. She was able to blow the candle on it. It was definitely a highlight of the night and a popular item to order for dessert. While the prices are on the higher side, given the location, I expected it to be pricey. read more

Dined here on 6/18/25 for a solo date. I was seated right away despite being early for my reservation by a nice hostess. I ordered the Lemon Drop Martini immediately along with a couple of appetizers (Fried Calamari and The Angry Lobster Sushi Rolls). I loved the drink and appetizers. Everything was tasty and refreshing. I proceeded to order another drink; The Watermelon Lemon Drop and the Seafood Linguini for ny entrée. Both items were delicious; 10/10. The last drink I had wasn't the best; Spicy Mango Mezcal Margarita. I thought it was too spicy so I couldn't enjoy it. For dessert, I ordered the Fried Oreo Sundae which I thoroughly enjoyed. I'm looking forward to coming back here again to try the fish tacos, sliders, Brussel sprouts, stuffed chicken and stuffed salmon. read more

I visited Doc of 5th to celebrate my daughter's graduation, which took place right next to Radio City Music Hall -- and I'm so glad we chose this spot. The experience from the moment we walked in was beautiful. We entered by walking down a staircase that was decorated with stunning flowers on the walls -- it gave such a warm, celebratory feel right away. We were a party of six and were seated in a lovely booth. The ambiance was elegant and well-thought-out. There's even a stage area where we were able to take lots of beautiful and memorable pictures of the graduate -- a perfect touch for a celebratory meal. There was also a live DJ playing great music the entire time. My friends were literally dancing in their seats -- and by the end, they got up and danced! It really brought the energy up and made the whole experience feel like a true celebration. We were jamming to every song! As for the food, everything was delicious. I had the Island Salmon, which was flavorful and cooked perfectly. My daughter had the Seafood Paella, which came loaded with different types of seafood -- she really enjoyed it. I only had a ginger ale (which was $6), but honestly, I chalk that up to the ambiance -- which was top-tier. We didn't opt for dessert, but the overall dining experience was more than enough. Yes, it's a little on the pricey side, but considering the location on 6th Avenue and the way everything was set up -- from the decor to the floral arrangements to what looked like a former bank vault turned design piece -- it was absolutely worth it for a special occasion. Highly recommend for graduations, birthdays, or any milestone celebration. It made our day feel even more special. read more

Sip, Snap, Repeat: Bottomless Brunch with NYC Vibes : Docks Off 5th - Manhattan, NY Came here for a Saturday birthday brunch with friends and left with mixed feelings--but plenty of cute photos. Let's start with the ambiance: the decor is fabulous, photo-ready, and definitely made for your IG grid. From the plush seating to the playful wall art, it's giving "brunch but make it fashion." It started to get super packed around 5PM, so if you're trying to beat the rush, get there early. We went for the bottomless brunch, and if you love a good deal, this is a smart way to stretch your dollars. Drinks were flowing--the Watermelon Drop stole the show ( even though it's not included in the bottomless brunch). Sweet, refreshing, and had us all ordering round two (or three... no judgment here). Now for the food: * Calamari & shrimp - 10/10. Crispy, seasoned, and gone within minutes. * Fantastic Four - 8.5/10. Solid variety, nice presentation. * Brunch burgers - 7/10. Tasty but could use a little more oomph. * Chicken & waffles - 7/10. Flavor was decent, but it arrived a little lukewarm. * Note: food service leaned on the slower side, and a couple of our orders got mixed up. Bathrooms are open to all, which is convenient but means they get busy. Staff was nice overall, but the kitchen seemed a bit overwhelmed once the crowd rolled in. All in all, it's a vibe. Would I go again? For the drinks, decor, and seafood apps--absolutely. Just hoping next time the pace is tighter and the entrées come out hot. Rating: 3.5 stars rounded to 4 for vibes and value. read more

This was a tik tok Suggestion that I wanted to try. It was a girls date with a good friend. The location is pretty touristy and snuggled under a scaffold and blocked by a huge dumpster. Anyhow once you walk in there is a steep set of steps nestled in flowers. That was cute. The food was mediocre nothing to really brag about or make me want to return. The restaurant is pretty Insta worthy with all the cameras out and bright lights for what would seem like "influencers" the service was good thank god. The menu is pricey for the caliber of food. I mean if you wanna give it a try I would say, that's on you. read more

For a relatively new restaurant, especially one touted as Instagram-worthy, the indoor stairs from the street to the dining floor downstairs felt old and creaky. The path down is beautifully decorated with flowers galore but just gotta be careful with each step. That area really is the only spot ideal for a photo unless you have a professional camera and lighting to shoot photos on the dining floor, which is dark. The restaurant is intentionally dark, except for the restroom area which has quite harsh fluorescent white lighting and not decorated at all, which easily brings you back from a fantasyland mindset to reality. The menu listed many dishes that sounded interesting. We got a variety of dishes to share, which weren't bad tasting but were definitely overpriced. We had a waitress and many other staff members who helped with checking in, refilling water glasses, serving dishes, clearing dishes. The communication among them could've been better. When my party was seated, we didn't have complete table settings including glasses for water. In the beginning, some of us were served water, some were not as we had no glasses. By the time shareable starters began to arrive, some of us could start picking at the food while others couldn't because we were still waiting for table settings we had requested. This spot is good for a night out with friends in a central location (midtown) with lots of flowers in a dark setting with lit signage inside. Drinks are a close secondary priority and food is probably right after. I'm not sure if this is a new norm, but the bill arrived with gratuity automatically added for a party of 4 adults. We each paid with credit cards and noticed the amounts on each card didn't match the split amount expected per the amount on the bill. We had failed to notice the text at the bottom of the bill stating an additional percentage is charged for paying with a credit card. It was a nice, new experience but sure is hard to justify the cost to repeat a visit. read more

Went to this restaurant for a late night dinner after seeing a Broadway show on Saturday night 3/21. We had 10pm reservations and were seated promptly. The positives about Docks are that it is a beautiful restaurant with lots and lots of floral decor EVERYWHERE!! Perfect for those who are Instagram and "Selfie" obsessed. Just about every corner of this place is an Instagram story or TikTok video waiting to happen. More "positives" are the menu options, the flavors of the food and strong drinks!! We ordered the Hoisin braised pork ribs and the fried Calamari (with 2 dipping sauces) as appetizers. Good portions and delicious!! Entrées were lamb lollipops with asparagus and mashed potatoes and also the seafood linguine. They weren't cheap with the shrimp and the sauce was flavorful and creamy. I did notice after the fact, that they forgot my garlic bread . We both had the rum punch and we were definitely too full for dessert. Gratuities are automatically added and the bill was roughly $235 for 2 people. Now...the negatives This place is loud. Lots of reggaeton! The Saturday night crowd skewed VERY YOUNG!! Despite the inappropriate clothing, heavy makeup, people dripping in bling, etc.. these kids looked barely legal to be drinking much less not being accompanied by any responsible adults. Second...unisex open bathrooms that weren't very clean. Just weird walking into the "area" with someone of the opposite sex right behind you, also looking for a stall. Young girls hog the mirrors over the sink, applying even more makeup which can make going to the sink to actually wash your hands and leave, a challenge. Third...that doggone staircase!!! My God!! Good luck navigating going up or down when people block your way taking countless Selfies. The death stares you get when trying to pass!! How dare YOU be so inconsiderate by blocking THEM from getting all their "angles"?! YIKES! Lastly...it was a tad too warm in there and just be careful walking around. I felt like the steps within the restaurant, combined with darkness and alcohol is an accident waiting to happen! I would definitely revisit Docks but maybe in the daytime or for brunch. The Saturday night crowd was too young, loud and immature for me. read more

The price and quality don't line up. Cocktails avg $20, my basic Titos vodka martini was $27! They offer just 2 light beers on the menu, and they were out of bourbon.. The rice and shrimp in a pineapple had 5 shrimp and cost $48! At least it was hot. The tempura lobster roll was tasty, but I expected the tempura to be hot. The salmon sliders seemed like the best value, but they weren't warm either. The clientele were mostly young women in cocktail dresses celebrating birthdays. The place was getting ready for Halloween, so the decor was floral with some black ghostly add-ons. I was happy the music wasn't too loud and stayed in the background. Our server was very nice, but our water glasses weren't kept full and the bill included an 18% service charge. read more

Looking for delicious food, good drinks and not to mention beautiful decor. Docks Off 5th is your place. Perfect for date night , girls night or group gatherings. Not only is food presentation on point it's also well flavored and seasoned. If social media is your thing many IG photo opportunities available. The staff is amazing. Knowledgeable, attentive and all around superb. Elite Yelper Michelle highly recommends. You will not be disappointed. Drinks Brunch Punch: a bit too sweet but it's strong and I enjoyed Not so old fashion. My sister enjoyed. To strong for me..lol Appetizers: Sticky Ribs: if fall off the bone was.

We visited for a celebration and were honestly disappointed. The DJ was there for only a short time and then left for the rest of the night, which wasn't what we expected. The food was pretty mid, especially considering all the hype it gets on TikTok. There was also a man selling hookah for $50, and it was not worth the price at all. The drinks were okay, but we waited over 50 minutes for just four drinks. What made it even more frustrating was that the restaurant wasn't packed, so the long wait was hard to understand. Overall, the experience didn't live up to the social media hype. Between the slow service, average food, and disappointing atmosphere, I wouldn't rush back. read more

Docks of 5th has a very nice aesthetic and is great for photos, but unfortunately the staff does not match the look or vibe of the space. Everyone seemed lost and unsure of what was going on. An automatic 18% gratuity was added to all checks, which felt undeserved given the level of service. My drink was $28 made with house tequila and had virtually no alcohol in it. Bartender was pretty rude, and yelled the price as if he knew it was wrong what they were charging as well... We ordered appetizers, and after 45 minutes, no one returned to clear the table or even ask if we wanted to order entrées. We were there celebrating a birthday, and the experience was extremely disappointing. I honestly wish we had chosen another establishment. We left feeling very underwhelmed and will probably never return. In the photo our guests are trying to clean the table ourself read more

Just two days into open and this place is already a hit. The atmosphere inside is incredible with flowers everywhere. Such a romantic atmosphere. I just saw one proposal here. I tried the lobster roll which was pretty good one of the better lobster rolls I have tried. 7/10 The fries remind me of childhood. That perfect crispy fries you remember getting at McDonalds with free cone day. Amazing memories. 9/10 amazing. This place just opened and has a lot of changes to still make but off to a great start. The service of the manager and servers is great. They are very eager to please and make any changes you need. They are still changing up their menu so it is going to be amazing when they are done. I will be back in January to do a more in depth review. read more

I initially intended to reserve a table for 12 to 15 people, but was informed upon contacting the restaurant that they only had a table for nine available. However, it was not mentioned that they have a private room capable of accommodating over 25 people, with multiple tables and seating arrangements. I found it somewhat unprofessional that this option was not brought to my attention. Given the restaurant's proximity to Fifth Avenue, a location of considerable prominence, I firmly believe that implementing a dress code is not only justified but necessary. The presence of children under 16 celebrating their birthdays underscores the importance of maintaining a certain standard of attire, particularly to avoid exposing other patrons to inappropriate displays. While I found the service to be excellent and the food delicious, enforcing a dress code would greatly enhance the dining experience for all patrons, ensuring that the environment remains respectful and family-friendly. A dress code would prevent patrons from inadvertently exposing themselves or others to inappropriate views during meals, which is especially important in a setting intended to be kid-friendly. Lastly, the person who is in charge of bringing the dessert with the sparkling candle ruined the surprise completely ruined, the surprise. Had to ask him to start over again to the point where my waitress had to take over. read more

Food was tasty. There was something for everyone, and so we tried a third of the menu (group of 3). Brunch is served from 11am to 3pm during the week, which is very unique for the city. The ambiance was very calm and beautiful (faux flowers galore). The drinks were very whimsy but strong. We had great servers - they were very attentive. read more
