On our most recent visit to DOCs, our server was Abbie and she was very helpful, efficient and friendly. The food arrived quickly and was cooked to perfection - as always. We always get the Pizza DOC and lasagna to share, always finishing off with a white chocolate sweet pizza. We always enjoy our visits to DOCs and already cannot wait to go back.

I took my partner for Valentine's dinner and it was great, the food was great, ambience was great to have a good conversation. The brick work and old barhouse / warehouse / shed structure gives a warm feeling. It was not too expensive and the staff was very friendly. Improvement areas are around parking, clarity of menu (I found it overwhelming and I clear to make a decision, maybe pictures would help) Overall I would recommend the place, also a nice drive from where we live.
