As the end of summer draws near, change is bound to happen — and this year, we have a few changes to share at The Dockside Bistro.

One of the first changes you’ll notice begins this coming weekend. Going forward, The Dockside Bistro will be closed Sundays and Mondays, giving our team a little more time to rest and recharge as we head into the next season.

We also want to wish the very best to some of our amazing team members who are heading back to university this fall. Riley, Ethan, Logan, Ella and Kaitlyn — it simply won’t be the same without you! Thank you for all of your hard work, dedication and the energy you’ve brought to The Dockside this summer. We’re so grateful to have had you as part of our team and wish you all an amazing school year!

We also want to wish Sandy all the very best as he begins his next chapter and moves away and moves on to new adventures. We thank him for the many years of hard work and dedication he has given to The Dockside Bistro and wish him nothing but success and happiness on the road ahead.

And while change can be bittersweet, it also brings new opportunities and new beginnings, and there are some exciting things happening behind the scenes at The Dockside Bistro over the coming months.

But one thing will not change — our commitment to you.

Regardless of the changes happening behind the scenes, you can continue to count on The Dockside for the dishes you know and love, the homemade quality you’ve come to expect, and the warm, welcoming dining experience that makes us who we are. In fact, we’re looking forward to taking that commitment even further with even better service and an even better experience for our guests.

We are incredibly grateful for the continued support of our customers, our community and our amazing team.

Here’s to new beginnings, exciting adventures and the next chapter at The Dockside Bistro!

We can’t wait to share it with you.

Today something happened at The Dockside Bistro.

I don't usually share situations like this publicly, but today felt different.

A customer enjoyed most of their meal before calling us over to say they had found something in their food. I won't share what the item was because that's not the point. What I will say is that it isn't something we even have in our kitchen, and the way it was presented simply didn't make sense based on how the meal had been prepared and served.

As a small business owner, moments like this are incredibly difficult.

Every restaurant gets complaints. Sometimes they're absolutely our fault, and when they are, we own them. We apologize, we fix the mistake, and we learn from it. That's part of running a business.

But sometimes you're faced with a situation where, after investigating everything you possibly can, you genuinely don't believe your business was responsible.

Today, we checked everything. We even invited the customer into our kitchen so they could see for themselves that this item wasn't something we use or even have on the premises. We were honest. We listened. We tried to understand what had happened.
In the end, we simply had to say, "We don't know how this happened, but we can't honestly take responsibility for something we know didn't originate here."

Will we receive a bad review? Maybe.
Does that bother me? Of course. Every review matters to a small business. But my integrity matters more. I can't ask my staff to accept blame for something we genuinely don't believe was our mistake.

Owning a small business means constantly balancing empathy with honesty. We want every guest to leave happy, but we also have a responsibility to stand behind our team when we know they've done everything right.

I guess today just reminded me that doing the right thing isn't always the easy thing.
To everyone who continues to support small businesses with kindness and understanding—thank you. It means more than you'll ever know. 💙
