Our Dock & Dine trip to Clemente’s starts with a simple departure from Great Kills Harbor—a smooth, quick ride across the water that brings you right into the heart of Sheepshead Bay. It’s one of the easiest hops from Staten Island, just enough time to enjoy being out on the water before arriving at a classic Brooklyn seafood spot.

Clemente’s has that unmistakable bayside vibe—casual, laid-back, and all about fresh seafood. They’re known for their snow crab clusters, fried seafood platters, lobster dishes, and all the classic favorites you expect from a Brooklyn waterfront restaurant. The atmosphere is relaxed and family-friendly, with a menu that works for everyone. Even Noah found his go-to: pasta with chicken fingers, which came out perfectly.

The dockside energy at Clemente’s is part of what makes it special. There’s only one slip, so getting it feels like a bonus—you really do step right off the boat and into the restaurant. Outdoor seating near the water adds to the experience, giving you that “on the bay” feel without the crowds or chaos of a busy marina.

Overall, it’s an easy and enjoyable Dock & Dine run: leave Great Kills, cross the bay, tie up at Clemente’s, and enjoy a solid seafood meal with a real Brooklyn waterfront vibe. A great choice for a relaxed afternoon on the water. Let me know if you want a shorter version for social, or a more polished version for the Dock & Dine directory page.
