Last week we asked you to share your favorite Dockside memories, and your stories truly reminded us why we love being part of this community. 💙

From friends gathering around the table and family celebrations to Christmas Eve traditions and special moments shared along the water, every memory you shared highlighted the meaningful experiences that have happened here over the years. We especially loved hearing from a former team member who helped open Dockside and shared her memories from the very beginning.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to share your experiences with us. We’re grateful to be part of so many special moments and can’t wait to continue making memories with you for years to come! 🤗

What an incredible evening celebrating an incredible career! 💙

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate Mike Koloski’s retirement. Seeing so many family members, friends, coworkers, and longtime guests gathered together was a true testament to the impact Mike has had on so many lives over the years in the Venice community.

😊 From the laughs and stories to the hugs, handshakes, and happy tears, every moment reminded us just how much Mike means to the Dockside family.

Mike, thank you for your years of hard work, unwavering dedication, and the friendships you’ve built along the way. You’ve left a lasting mark on our team, our guests, and our company. While we’ll miss seeing you around the restaurant, we’re excited for all the adventures retirement has in store.

Congratulations, Mike! Here’s to tight lines, great memories, and the next amazing chapter. You certainly earned it! 🎣💙
