Dock Brown's On Saratoga Lake

OMG! We LOVED Dock’s!!! We were welcomed from the moment we stepped inside! The food was amazing! I had the Caprese grilled cheese ~ the tastiest thing I’ve had in at least a year! So good! My husband had the fish and chips ~ also good. A special shout out to our waitress, Charlie ~ she was the best, so sweet ~ brought us a complimentary cheese cake dessert because we mentioned it was our first date anniversary!!! The views of the lake are beautiful! The restaurant and rest rooms were clean and well appointed.

We were here to celebrate a milestone birthday. The view is amazing. The staff was wonderful and accomodating, even though we had some hiccups during our dinner, they made it right. The food was tasty (we had added hot honey on our salmon and rice) lobster tots, lobster mac n cheese, saratoga chips (dipping sauce was delish) fried pickles come in spears (I'd prefer chips, but that's just me) the blossom and saratoga sunset drinks were yummy. Definitely recommend.

Finally, Some Good Food. I've been having a string of super mediocre and mundane Friday dinners, not the way I like to celebrate the end of another work week, with even the more trustworthy locations failing to meet my expectations. Thankfully Dock Brown's is here to change that. Order over the phone going with the Baked Pretzel Sticks and the Grilled Caramelized Onion Chicken Sandwich, coming to a total of $38 and change before tip. I made no adjustments to the choices, sticking with the fries for the sandwich and both the queso cheese dip and spicy mustard for the pretzel sticks. Pickup was easy, though the staff was slightly confused about payment. Their online ordering system was down, explained to me they turn it off over the weekend due to peek hours, but sometimes forget to turn it back on after. After paying for my meal I was on my way home. It takes me about 30 minutes to get home, and I did have a stop along the way, but even still everything was nice and warm. I tried a bite of everything with the lingering heat to make sure I got the best flavor possible, and I was quite ecstatic. The sticks were lightly salted, slightly chewy, and paired so well with the queso cheese. The spicy mustard was a whole grain kind I don't much enjoy, but the honey mustard I had with the fries was a whole different ballgame; sweet, mildly spicy, and so darn thick. The fries were nice and stiff, but not too oily or overdone, and had some hearty potato flavor. The sandwich was the big boss though, so I left it for last. A cross-section cut showed me it contained all listed ingredients, with some lovely layering. I was hesitant about that rather thick cut of tomato, a "fruit" I'm not too keen on in its whole or sliced form, but my bite changed my mine real quick like. Meaty, smokey, savory, sweet, and it all held together so well. Oh man, that was good. Compliments to the chef.
