    I love the food at the boathouse but I’m alway’s underwhelmed by the service. Nice people but apparently, no leadership it’s sad how inept the waitstaff is. I’ll keep trying but it’s sad. I spent the same amount as a better place,like lemaire or bookbinders even the slightly better tobacco company, so inferior. I’ll come back eventually. Never been the same since before covid, sad.

    This was an amazing dining experience. The view, the food, and the service was outstanding! Casual dress code was a plus. Raw oysters were delicious! Large scallops cooked perfectly! All the shrimp were huge. The shrimp cocktail was so good we had to get a second order! I've eaten steaks at a lot of places, but this was the most perfectly cooked steak I have ever had!!! DELICIOUS!! I can't say enough about this place. It was expensive, but worth every penny!! Our server was on point! Not overbearing, but right there when we needed him! Kept our table clear and was very kind and attentive.
