Playa Provisions

At Dockside, expect to find seafood and comfort food from the “Top Chef” alum’. The menu is East Coast inspired, from its selection of Long Island oysters to a lobster roll with pickled mustard seed, celery and crushed potato chips to the dungeness crab mac and cheese to the salt cod clam chowder with braised bacon, served in a sourdough bowl.

Mary’s organic whole boneless brick roasted chicken breast was one of the best chicken dishes we have ever tasted. This dish is exquisitely prepared and melts in your mouth. It is so subtly flavored with grilled stone fruit, herbs, lemon and a roasted garlic spread that you’ll still be questioning “why” and “what” after you’ve polished off every last bite. Also make sure to order up the sinfully decadent side of cheesy stone ground grits with vinegar cooked collard greens, soft cooked egg and crispy red onions.

On the boozy side, we adore the kitschy and Prohibition era style cocktail the Bees Knees: a mixture of gin, lemon, Tupelo honey and hibiscus. We highly advise you save room for dessert, as the warm chocolate chip cookies—served with some very adult bourbon milk—are a must. If you’re still craving sweets, also order up the brioche donuts, which are delivered warm out of the oven.
