Service and atmosphere were excellent… But the cheeseburger was extremely disappointing.. It is not a handmade burger.. It is a frozen patty and not a good quality of meat… I expected for the type of place and for the price of the Burger it would of been juicy and high quality…. The got the bum and contents down but the meat was hidden and not the star…

Have been there many times . Always a good review to me. Just went for Easter brunch but was not completely satisfied with desserts. Not many choices and no cakes etc. I feel that was only problem.

Why do I bother going to a resturant called boathouse when I dont like seafood? Anyways foods pretty good. The resturant has a pretty nice atmosphere unfortunatly a lot of the clientele seem to be smelling the ceiling if you catch my drift. Expect to overhear so rich people locker talk.

Portions are large and food comes out quickly. We get another whole meal from leftovers. Servers are friendly and personable. View of the water from inside. It does get fairly noisy sometimes. Outdoor seating with fire tables. Our new favorite place

The food wasn’t good at all. The host didn’t seem to acknowledge us right away and just shoved us between two other tables even though the restaurant wasn’t busy and had plenty of seating elsewhere. From the two appetizers to the two meals we ordered it was all bad. My partner and I didn’t even finish our entrees. The service was slow but the waitress was incredibly kind. I should’ve anticipated the place wasn’t going to be good when my drink came out poor.

We had our first outdoor dining experience of 2024. Patrick was our waiter, and HE was the BEST!! He made our experience ?! Also he made the best blood orange margarita!

We had my son’s 1st birthday party at The Boathouse today. As usual the staff was absolutely amazing and above and beyond accommodating. Erica was an extraordinary server. We had absolutely everything we needed at all times. Drinks at all times, tables constantly cleared and clean and more. Kerri was wonderful to book and coordinate with and helpful every step of the way. The food was so delicious as always. We’re so grateful for the beautiful party we had today! We can’t wait to have future functions at The Boathouse again.

Our dinner was great. The fish was fresh and the sides were creative and delicious. Just skip dessert. The cheesecake was dry and the flan was a box mix.

I was searching for seafood near me on and this restaurant came up in my search. I decided to try it out on 2/18/24. When I arrived to the restaurant, the greeters at the front desk weren’t welcoming no smile and it felt as if I was a bother for entering the restaurant. I was then seated and was given a glass of water. I waited for 20 minutes before the waitress who was pleasant came to the table and apologized for not coming sooner because she didn’t know I was sat in her section. I ordered the crab cake balls as an appetizer, and they came out hard and on the inside had a similar filling to crab rangoon. It really didn’t have a homemade taste and they were cooked from a frozen state. I then ordered the fish and chips which didn’t give me fresh fish vibes but frozen fish cooked. The atmosphere was great, however I feel the food was not the best. In other words I didn’t leave saying I need to come back here again with my friends etc.
