    It's a season of party and gratitude. I had my birthday party here in August. This was the third time that I dined at boat house. The spicy jumbo lump crab & avocado cocktail was so fresh. The faroe island salmon and Bronzino accompanied by Sancerre were fantastic. We were so lucky to sit by the window and have enjoyed a snow lake view with plenty of sunshine. The restaurant was filled with a warmth of family and holiday mood.

    I made an reservation and arrived about 15 minutes early which allowed us to enjoy some time at the bar. The bar staff were absolutely amazing! Unfortunately, we waited 43 minutes past our scheduled time before I mentioned to the bartender that no one had come to seat us. The young lady who checked us in seemed a bit flustered at first but eventually realized she hadn’t come to get us when the table was ready. After being seated, it took a while for someone to come over for our drink orders. Once we finally got our drinks, there was another wait to place our food order. The food was fantastic, but the service needs improvement—particularly with a more reliable hostess and servers. The bar staff are doing a great job, but they can’t handle everything on their own. Overall, despite these few hiccups, our experience was fantastic, and I would definitely return!

    Food delicious and service excellent. Been here twice now and both were great. It is expensive and when it gets crowded the noise level can get high but overall a great neighborhood place!

    Dinner on the top floor next to the windows was perfect! Not crowded like lunchtimes we’ve eaten here. My spouse loved his mushroom ravioli, the crostini with prosciutto were delicious and the chicken paillard very nice. We will be back soon!
