And just like that… that’s a wrap on Season 15. ❤️
2026 is officially in the books.

To my incredible team, thank you. For the long days, the crazy days, the laughs, the hustle, and for caring about this place right alongside me.

To our customers, thank you for showing up, season after season. For filling our patio, supporting our little waterfront restaurant, bringing your friends and families, and making Dockside what it is.

Fifteen seasons. Still here. Still grateful. And maybe just a little tired. 😂
Thank you for another unforgettable summer on the water.
See you in the spring of 2027 for Season 16. ⚓️❤️

Until then… that’s a wrap, Dockside.

Okay, friends. This is it.
Today is technically your last Dockside day. ❤️

Tomorrow we PARTY. Tomorrow we BLOW IT OUT. Tomorrow Andrew takes over with a small-plate tapas-style menu made from whatever we’ve got left, the regular menu is gone, and we officially enter Freezer & Bar Blowout mode.

But TODAY, we’re still Dockside as you know it.

We’re definitely running out of things (that’s the plan 😏), but we’ve still got lots of your favourites, and today is your last chance to come get them.

So if there’s one Dockside dish you need one more time before we shut this season down… today’s the day.

Tomorrow?

Tomorrow is not “I’ve always wanted to try Dockside” day. 😂

Tomorrow is IF YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW.
Tomorrow is party day.
Tomorrow is blowout day.
Tomorrow is help us empty the freezers and the bar day.

But today?

Today is the last day of Dockside as you know it. ⚓️❤️

Come get your favourite while we’ve still got it. Open 11-730 today.

IYKYK😉. 🍻
Friday is our FREEZER & BAR BLOWOUT PARTY and the FINAL DAY of Season 15.

The goal is simple: get rid of EVERYTHING.

The regular menu is pretty much gone. Andrew takes whatever we’ve got left in the freezer and turns it into small plates until there’s nothing left to cook.

And the bar? Help us empty that too. 🍻🥂

We open at 11am and we close whenever we run out of food.

🎶 Mike Gallant live from 5–7:30pm

This one’s for our regulars, our familiar faces and everyone who knows what a Dockside blowout is all about.

Come early. Come hungry. Stay awhile. Have a few drinks. Help us clean out the freezer and the bar and send Season 15 out properly.

Friday. Make a plan. Come help us get rid of it ALL.

If you know… you know.

🌮 LAST TACO TUESDAY OF THE SEASON! 🌮
We’re going out with a good one.
🔥 Hot Honey Chicken Caesar Tacos 🔥
Crispy chicken tenders tossed in hot honey & Parmesan, with romaine, bacon and our Caesar dressing, all loaded onto a cheesy flour tortilla.
Sweet.
Spicy.
Cheesy.
Caesar-y. 😋
It’s the last Taco Tuesday of Dockside Season 15😢 once they’re gone, they’re gone.
