Dry Dock might just serve the best grouper sandwich in Southwest Florida. Seriously, think about that the next time you are entertaining out-of-towners." So, yeah, about eight months after my review ran, Dry Dock was sold. Gecko’s Hospitality Group bought the waterfront gem on Longboat Key, which overlooks Sarasota Bay, from longtime owners Eric and Cindy Hammersand. Luckily, new owners Mike Quillen and Mike Gowan have done very little to change the local landmark that opened in 1989. And that grouper sandwich is still excellent.
