Food is meh. Food trucks need to go and they need actual table service. We need more dock and dine. This is like doc and fast food with warm drinks. Super cool atmosphere though. Very easy to pull your boat in and a great view. The food is just food truck food and it shows it.Dietary restrictions: Limited menu so customizations are limited. I have dietary restrictions that they had trouble understanding or being able to accommodate.Parking: Lots of parking for carsLimited boat slips especially if your boat is bigger.Kid-friendliness: Lots of games for kids to play etc.

Love this place! Tons of parking. Casual atmosphere with limited food menu.Mostly beer and wine drink options. Fun games to play. Really nice space. Always have received good service as well.

Nice location on the water. It's an outdoor venue with a large tented area. Dog friendly also. Prices are tourist high but that's all over the area.

Love coming to The Boatyard. Atmosphere is chill, lots of docking. The dockhands are very helpful. FYI can't start a tab at the bar. Lots of options at the bar and the rum punch is amazing!Kid-friendliness: Lots of games for the kids to play.

Worst attempt at "Pizza" that I've ever overpaid for that new addition to the "food truck" area was terrible . There is also no need for the music to be that loud at all times. It's a good place , for what it is. But small changes could improve it.l a lot.

Bartenders were pretty rude. Beer was good though - as well as the food.

This place has more waterfront potential than anyplace I've seen...yet, so poorly managed. 2 Foid trucks, serving mini tacos for $18? The lobster rolls looked worth it. The restaurant building, overlooking the Bay? Empty! Tons of parking, tons of boat slips...too much wasted space, not enough food trucks or a restaurant! Gotta improve the management in this place.

They close really early and give no warnings!!! I feel so bad for this other couple that had to ride through the rain tonight!Horrible customer service!!!The more I think about it, it's not the first time they closed before 9! Imagine a bar closing at 9(but not even staying open until then)!

--- 0 Stars ---Horrible customer service. Last call at 7:50PM and music off at 8:05PM. The bartenders closed up and walked out to their cars at 8:15PM meanwhile they close at 9PM and not a single person mentioned they were closing early. Left us with the lights off and questioning whether we did something wrong. If any of them had common sense they'd see there were no other cars left and two bikes left yet it's pouring rain.The fish stinks from the head down! No wonder they can't get a Certificate of Occupancy, they can't even get customer service right yet alone basic construction. Their days are numbered.

Great atmosphere for a chill drink. The food was basic (although the Mac and cheese was amazing). The new building they are renovating is amazing though. The view is fantastic.

This place is awful. Overpriced and overrated and everyone who works there is 16 years old sitting on their cell phone taking photos of themselves. Only canned beer which is gross. Food was not good waste of money. New owners have no idea what their doing they should close it down again not temporarily but permanently. The building is also weird and almost looks like unfinished construction. Better off throwing 200$ in the garbage or in the bay.To the response: Sitting on a cellphone and taking photos of yourself is working harder than most adults you know? What adults do you know lol. I know someone who works here who is 17 so that’s interesting. Server said canned beer only. They don’t address the food being terrible because they know it’s true. Definitely won’t be back for the grand reveal or ever and will tell everyone I know to do the same. Stay blessed!
