“After FOUR YEARS of driving by this place and hoping to one day walk through the door....IT FINALLY HAPPENED on Friday, August 16, 2024! The BoatYard LKN is everything I knew it would be and more! My neighbor and I bought tickets for the "Who's Bad Ultimate Michael Jackson Experience" show.

We arrived early to grab a comfortable seat. Prior to the show we ordered shareables and a few cocktails. The service was incredible from beginning to end! From security to the bartenders, everyone was friendly and welcoming! It must be something about the environment inside, because I met so many kind people who absolutely LOVE the Boatyard LKN experience! The show was incredible! (Minus the storm that came through during the second half of the show.) I will definitely go back REAL SOON!“

“The restaurant is beautiful, clean and the view is great. Where it looses a few stars is in service. I asked the server about an entree I was considering. The Cioppino sounded interesting but I didn't want anything too rich. She said it was a heavy, filling meal because it was served over pasta. I almost didn't order it but decided I could just eat half and take the rest home. There was no pasta in the dish! Staff shouldn't describe dishes they are unfamiliar with! I almost passed up an incredible meal. A simple, “I'm not sure, I'll ask” would have been the way to go. Because I took a risk, dinner was terrific. A good server doesn't make it up. The chef would not be happy.“
