Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The service is excellent even from training staff. Food was very clean and size perfect (especially for Tapas) Location helps a lot as well.

Quick and tasty meals served with a smile. We liked that they had a range of small share plates to choose from so we got to try several things. The Churros for desert were my fav.

Great ambience, great service such a shame the food was ordinary. Ordered 5 things, one was fair. Everything was served at one time which meant some was cold. Definitely wouldn't go again and wouldn't recommend.

Father’s Day… booked 6.30 6 people… ordered food 6.50…. 4 out of the 6 things we wanted were not available 😂 had to order stuff we weren’t so keen on or leave and go to maccas..food very ordinary… the bruschetta was laughable and their best...dish was the chips 😳😂… surely a restaurant that has been open for years is capable of ordering enough ingredients to fulfill their customers orders an hour after opening! Thankfully staff were delightful… especially Macie !More

Eleven of us girls enjoyed fine food and Marina views at this relaxing venue. The staff greeted us with a smile, and our drinks and food choices were delivered promptly. The Marina views are the icing on the cake.

Everything about this restaurant impressed. The ambience, the service and the food were all top class. Although this restaurant is a little tucked away at the rear of the Mantra hotel at Urangan, Hervey Bay it was certainly worth the effort to find. From the...moment we entered to the time we left it was a pleasurable experience. The service was fantastic from the time we sat down to the time we paid the bill. The food was delicious, we chose the Italian Dock plate, pan fried barramundi and Greek lamb gyros. Although these are tapas size meals they were enough and thoroughly delicious. My wife also had room for the Bailey pan a cotta and according to her beautiful. Overall a place we will definitely go back to when in Hervey Bay again.More

Service was a 5/5 Food was a 3/5 So 4/5 is what I’m giving this place, we were waited on well, the drinks were a little slow to come, the food came in batches as expected of a tapas place, we tried a number of...options from the menu, garlic mushrooms, chicken wings, cheesy garlic bread, prawns etc, some items were better than others, Would recommend going if you are visiting Hervey bay, it’s a nice restaurant with a nice vibe.More

We were looking for something different for lunch for my wife and two eldest daughters. The Dock came up in a quick search of restaurants in the bay and we’re very glad we chose here. Service was excellent, our server Rebecca, is known to one...of the daughters and she took excellent care of us. We chose to sit in the enclosed outside area, unfortunately the weather turned dramatically with rain coming in through the blinds. The restaurant team quickly mobilised and moved us inside. Food was top notch. The popcorn haloumi went down really well. We chose a selection of dishes that were enough to share between 4. There was plenty to go round. One small issue with one of the dishes that was swiftly dealt with with no fuss. That is always appreciated Good value, great service, really enjoyed our lunch, highly recommended.More

In the main restaurant, the noise was deafening, like a crowded front bar. The verandah seemed much quieter. The food was average much of it is aimed at the vegetarian customer and Tapas inspired. A birthday celebration, our group (of about 25 pax) generally agreed...that the service was good & the food arrived promptly. The chairs have improved but still left a lot to be desired especially as the night wore on. This is our third visit & we were apprehensive when told where the celebration was to be held. Not our choice & we don't plan to return here.More

Hi, I found a menu on their Facebook page: Go to FB and add the extension /THEDOCKHB/menu/ It's also coded for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and lactose-free. Hope this helps!
