Thank you so much to the very attentive team at Dockside for helping us raise funds for our students. We recently held our Gala Fundraiser dinner in the Darling room and with a short lead time to plan everything - the team helped us pull everything together. The food was delicious, the drinks were cold and the staff were wonderful. Thank you so much!
Corrupt individuals with toxic policies, overusing their power and having a power trip. Terrible service. Food was horrible, music was boring and the event manager was such a rude lady. At least it has a nice view. It’s a nice area. Could’ve been better.
Had really great experience with the crew at Dockside. My husband and I had our wedding at their Darling room on the 4th of May and leading up to that point, our coordinator Irene was amazing. She would always respond without delay and that made us feel at ease with the whole process. She would happily answer our questions and help us sort out any issues. Bijay was our coordinator for the night and he was so great. He was attentive to us and was enthusiastic about our needs. He took care of everything we asked for and always made sure we had what we needed. Special shoutout to the female security whose name I missed for helping us get the best location for the 8:30pm fireworks for our photos. The pictures came out great!
The name of this venue says it all ! An amazing location in the best city in the world just add family and friends for a occasion. Thank you Dockside.
The venue was nice and the visuals for the food were nice however the flavours of it were extremely unpleasant. The steak was of extremely low quality, had a displeasing scent and was tough to eat, the food had extra grease that accompanied it, the food quality was irregular for each and every person: e.g more sauce or less cooked. The dessert was alright, it's hard to make dessert bad however it was extremely sweet and hard to eat over half of it. Come here for the visuals only.
