Howdy!


Today, we're heading to Zef's Dockside Bar & Kitchen. Located right on Lake St. Clair, this restaurant offers delightful views of the lake with a view towards Canada. There's also an outdoor rooftop seating area that overlooks the nearby marina. To kick off our meal, we chose the Dockside Egg Rolls (filled with corned beef, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese, served with a Thousand Island dressing) and Bang Bang Shrimp with a homemade bang bang sauce. Both dishes were exceptional and tasted freshly prepared.


For our entrees, we first tried the Salt and Pepper calamari, featuring battered and fried tentacles and rings accompanied by a lemon caper dill sauce. Next, we had the Mussels, which were combined with a mix of roasted tomatoes, tossed in white wine, garlic, and parsley, and served with a side of sweet potato waffle fries. Everything we tasted was delicious, and the waterside ambiance enhanced the entire experience. We definitely recommend this place if you're visiting the Nautical Mile in St. Clair Shores, MI.
