I live across the lake from where Boat Cafe & Rentals operates, and while I fully support everyone enjoying this beautiful natural resource, I am deeply concerned about the pollution caused by some of the boat renters. On multiple occasions, I’ve seen renters carelessly throwing garbage—like candy wrappers, cans, plastic bags and empty bottles—into the lake. This is not only unsightly but also harmful to the environment and wildlife.
As a resident who pays property taxes, I expect the lake to be treated with respect and maintained as a clean and safe environment for everyone. It’s disappointing to see that some renters do not share this sense of responsibility.
I strongly urge Boat Cafe & Rentals to take action by educating their customers on the importance of keeping the lake clean. Perhaps providing clear instructions, placing more garbage disposal options on the boats, or even enforcing stricter penalties for littering could help mitigate this issue.
The lake is a shared resource, and it's crucial that everyone who enjoys it does their part to preserve its beauty and health. I hope the company takes these concerns seriously and implements measures to protect our lake for current and future generations.
Edit to owners reply: I would consider changing the review but your website does not work and there is no contact email on record (to report incidents) Additionally, your Instagram features boats with tables on them and pictures/videos of renters regularly eating while riding on the lake.
Please provide contact email, I can provide pictures as recent as yesterday and for future instances. Thank you.

I had really high hopes for this place but it was such a bust! We were 6 people and it wasn’t so busy when we got there. We had to literally ask for everything. Hi can we please get plates, napkins, utensils. The food came out cold. Shakshuka was so spicy you couldn’t even eat it. By the time they broad out my bread and sides the main course was cold. It was just bad. And then to top it off we took a boat ride and the motor fell off. The staff really needs better guidance from management all around. It’s nice there is kosher options but please live up to better standards. This place was very pricey and have no problem paying but it was simply not worth it.

The boss is a scoundrel who doesn't pay his employees' wages and even owes them money. He doesn't even want to pay overtime. This boss is really a jerk.
Beautiful lake view whether you eat at the restaurant or on a boat. Best view in the Catskills to enjoy a meal:)

Had the most wonderful experience at boat cafe!! They had great service, the views are beautiful but the food was so good and filling and healthy!! The gorgeous sushi roll was so good and really different than any other sushi I had before. Honestly never had such good healthy food at a restaurant!!! Great vibe there too. I will definitely be there again!
Dietary restrictions: Great place for so many dairy free options!
Kid-friendliness: They brought us a highchair for our baby to sit in.
