Docks is one of those
places that feels as though it was just built to pack in crowds. The
midtown restaurant is gigantic, and basically caters to the suit and
family out to celebrate dad's promotion crowd. Singles sit around
the bar trading witty banter about tech stocks, and kids drop the
occasional crab claw on the floor. It's almost the equivalent of being
served in an airport hangar by a group of humanoid waiters who just
want to serve you and get you out so somebody else can have your table.
The food is pretty basic American seafood. The soft-shell crab was
dry and prepared without any taste or pinnace. Everything is very
functional and very midtown. Sometimes big restaurants make it feel
as though your food was prepared on a conveyor belt by some space
age Jetsons robot. It's fish, it's pretty good, it's Docks. [MF] Other Locations: Docks Oyster Bar - West Side |
