Everything was great, from drinks to desert. Unfortunately they didn't have crab cakes like some of the menu pictures showed (I assume due to the crab shortage)

If you go with friends, they won’t separate checks.

Fast food service, very loud and hard to hear people and the chowder is red like tomato not creamy, wish they would have warned me first.

Tried to go here for the famous turtle races but apparently that's not a thing anymore since COVID. It is just a run of the mill bar and grill now. Very sad!

Incredibly over priced for just ok food. I had the skirt steak which was over $30. I had 4 slices of steak, a large salad and roasted potatoes all on the same plate. The salad wasn't fresh, the tomatoes were wilted. One should never place cold food with hot food on a plate unless it's a salad. The flank steak wasn't flavorful at all. Our appetizers came out with our dinners. Service was basic.

Turtle Kraals didn't survive the pandemic apparently and reopened under the name The Boathouse - to lure customers in, Turtle Kraals' menu stayed online and is advertising the restaurant with its food and entertainment but the reality was a very reduced food offering with few vegetarian options (which were nothing to write home about). A sign at the toilets reminds of the venue's old name. While the location is great, other places nearby are far more atmospheric.

I miss the days when prices were lower and you could stuff yourself on potato skins and raw oysters, but the food is still delicious.

The food was the worst one compared to everywhere else we ate. It was also the most expensive meal we had…and I don’t mind spending money on a good meal!! But it should be good. My fish was greasy and it was supposed to be grilled…and there was more issues with the apps. But the worst was they don’t take discover card and there is no signs, nothing that warns you of that. Ridiculous and terrible business!! Will never go there again!!

I hadn't been here in a long, long time, but I'm happy to say it's still great. Same great harbor view, excellent service and really great food.Our favorites are the "small plate" options, so we had several (like tapas). Loved the lobster tempura and the coconut shrimp!This is no overpriced tourist seafood dump. Everything here is high end, the service is attentive, they have great drink options, and they serve delicious, quality seafood.
