    We celebrated our anniversary at the Boathouse and it was wonderful. We both had the filet which was delicious- tender & cooked to perfection. Our server, Nancy, was so nice & very attentive. Overall, a wonderful evening.

    I made a reservation for 4 and we showed up but no record was found because I had made it for the following month! They were so gracious and accommodating and were able to squeeze us in within 10mn of arrival. When our main courses were majorly delayed, Cara the manager came over and apologized for the delay and comped us a round of drinks - above and beyond Forbes service!! Food was delicious and we had a great time. We will be back on the day i originally made the reservation and look forward to hopefully eating delicious food outside. Sad that we only discovered it senior year. Thank you for the great hospitality and service.

    Everything was wonderful! Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable. She was very detailed when describing cocktails and food choices. The atmosphere was beautiful! Can’t wait to go back in the summer and eat outside overlooking the water views.

    My wife and I dined there yesterday. Waitress forgot to bring second glass of wine. Asked for no onions on salad and got onions. Server took my silverware and when the main course came, I asked the server to bring me silverware. Didn’t happen so I had to grab some from another table. One of the most disappointing times at this restaurant. We purchase gift cards from the Newport Restaurant group every year. This was not a pleasant dinner.

    The Boat House was perfect for a late lunch with out of town friends who wanted a dining experience on the water. Food and service was exceptional with menu items for both the seafood lover and those more terrestrial. Well laid out, clean, comfortable and high quality dining establishment.
