The Docks Restaurant Key West - Waterfront Seafood & Raw Bar

The Docks Restaurant + Raw Bar – Stock Island Waterfront Seafood Dining

Discover The Docks Restaurant + Raw Bar, a standout Stock Island waterfront seafood destination pairing harbor views with fresh, fisherman-to-table dining. Located beside an active commercial fleet and Keys Fresh Seafood Market, this shoreline restaurant delivers fresh local seafood sourced daily from shrimp boats and fishing vessels for an authentic dock-to-dish experience. Indoor seating features coastal sophistication, while the open-air waterfront deck offers panoramic harbor scenery—especially striking when shrimp boats return during golden hour sunsets.

Guests savor a creative raw bar that highlights chilled oysters on ice, zesty oyster shooters, rotating fresh-catch ceviche, peel-and-eat Royal Red shrimp, and the abundant Docks Seafood Platter. Small plates introduce bold variations of island flavors, including Lobster Rangoon with sweet-savory accents, Grilled Calamari Carpaccio enhanced with citrus brightness, furikake-infused Tuna Carpaccio Pizza, and Figs in a Blanket baked with honey, sage, and silky brie.

Seasonal entrées focus on expertly cooked catches such as Sautéed Snapper with Key lime beurre blanc, Grilled Swordfish paired with warm root vegetables and pickled elements, classic Fish + Chips hand-crafted from fresh fillets, and a rich Seafood Cauliflower Bake combining lobster, shrimp, and a parmesan crust. Signature sandwiches add inventive twists with the Snapper “Philly,” Shrimp + Shiitake BLT featuring ginger-wasabi aioli, and NY-Style Pastrami Swordfish served on rye to echo deli nostalgia in coastal form.

Harbor-view cocktails celebrate Keys culture with the Key Lime Cartel, Port Side Paloma with strawberry-grapefruit notes, curated wines, and seasonal craft beers. Enjoy sunset happy hour Monday–Thursday from 3–5 PM, featuring specialty drinks and raw bar favorites as fishing crews return to port.

Located at 6840 Front Street, Stock Island, Key West, FL, The Docks Restaurant + Raw Bar welcomes guests daily from Noon–9:30 PM. Reservations are encouraged for prime sunset tables overlooking the working harbor.
