Dock & Dine in Oceanside
Dining in Oceanside works from a guest slip rather than a guest dock. No Harbor Village restaurant offers a tie-up, and none of them needs to: the village is compact, and every table in it is a few minutes' walk from the guest slips.
The City publishes the procedure, and it is the genuinely useful part: arrivals should "pull into the 'Guest Check-in Slips' (Guest slip #5, #6, #7) before coming across the street to reserve a slip." Take the slip first, then walk.
The chart below reads the harbour and its entrance rather than a restaurant strip, because in Oceanside the entrance is what decides everything: the dredge cycle, the measured 16-foot shoaling, the submerged jetty, and the slip sizes that tell you what actually fits.

Dockage notes are what each restaurant publishes on its own site — space is first-come and dinner-hour rafting is real, so hail ahead. Where a venue states nothing about docking, we say so rather than guess.
