Dover Straits

Dover Straits just might be one of my favorite restaurants of all time. I started coming here when I was about 12 with my parents and family friends for the famous "surf and turf." This then became the place to go for Homecoming and other high school dance dinners. Dover Straits is still the awesome place it has been for the entire 15+ years I have been going.

First of all, the crab cakes are the best I have ever had anywhere, and I usually always get crab cakes at a seafood place. Tom likes the oysters, but I'm not a big fan of them at any location. The dover sole is the house specialty and it is delicious. All entres come with the salad ship - either the nina, pinta or santa maria will deliver a customized salad to your table. Very fun!

On Friday's and Saturday's, there is a live band that plays smooth jazz and 70's disco. It's super fun and we love to get on the dance floor and shake a leg! The service is always great and the host and server's all know us right when we walk in. The atmosphere is that of a supper club and you will always see all different kinds of people. You can either dress casual or dressy - it's up to you!
