Tonight is the last night this restaurant will be open. We just were there and it was a disaster. Don't do it. Don't even think about it!!

Best views on the south shore! Corrine made us some wonderful cocktails and we got to watch the storm pass by. Gonna miss the Boat House đŸ«Ą

The view is why you go here. Not for the limited food or the limited staff.

Sunset was beautiful. No one ever greeted us when we came in we had to seek somebody out to get a seat Sat there for a long time before we Approached someone to let them know that we would like to place a drink order. Brought out water and there was lettuce stuck on the inside of the glass. Ordered a mule that was very watered down menu was completely different from what was advertised as the updated menu for 2025 online we decided not to order food there and requested a check couldn’t get a check. They told us they couldn’t print it out And just told us a total. we will not be returning.

Cool joint but kitchen was closed for the season(upcoming remodel) & not a great selection of mixed drinks due to not enough ingredients on hand..? The view was great from the balcony but we could definitely see how the entire place needed the upcoming remodel.

Pros: the view would be wonderful from the deck outside but it was cold and rainy. The burger, fries and poke bowl were great!
Cons: it was so cold inside that we had to eat with our coats on. The fish tacos were dry and mediocre. Service was very slow (table behind us left without ordering, the only other table was upset that their food took so long, it seemed like friends hanging out instead of servers waiting on tables).

Lovely views but insane service. Puddle on the floor for over an hour, waitress yelling about getting reprimanded by the manager, extremely bland meal. At one point, one waitress poured half a cup of water on the table and said “oops” and then walked away. We wiped it up ourselves. After waiting for the check, we asked another waiter to help us get the check. He was visibly annoyed.

Very weird experience. Won’t return.
