   We are local and have had events there as well as special dining. Yesterday was by far our overall worst experience. Shrimp and grits was like a soup with very few grits. Sent a drink back that was not correct. Apple crisp had no crisp. Only apples and ice cream. The banana bread pudding was very good. We were never checked on during the meal.

   It’s been about 8m since I’ve eaten at the Boathouse last but the prices have gone up and portions sizes down significantly. I had the rockfish dish and the fish was small, and they gave me literally only 3 tiny potatoes on my plate. That’s was about $44. It’s a beautiful spot and service great but food isn’t worth the cost.

   I ordered the boathouse burger and my girlfriend ordered the caesar salad, both with a side of fries. Fries were slightly disappointing, but our entrees were fabulous! Received excellent, quick, and attentive service and had a wonderful time enjoying the view of the lake!

   Reservation specifically requested table overlooking water and two of us sitting side by side due to hearing deficit. Even re-requested in confirmation. Stuck at a table for two sitting across from one another behind the hostess shed with no view. Server and food was very good. Bar service at both the bar and once seated was "backed up" had to wait 15 - 20 minutes for a glass of wine. Definitely not worth the drive from the city.

   We had an amazing experience at the Boathouse tonight! We were celebrating our anniversary which we stated in our reservation. Upon arrival we were told happy anniversary and were given a hand written card! Once seated our waited asked what we were celebrating and once we told him, we were offered complimentary champagne! He said its a new thing they've started. We were pleasantly surprised. We ordered the 3 course meal which is only offered 4pm-6pm. The clam chowder, salad, shrimp, crab cake, fries, creme brulee with berries and bread pudding covered in pecans sitting in caramel sauce topped with ice cream and a banana were so delicious!! Our waiter was very attentive and friendly as well as the kitchen staff. We can't wait to go back!

   Everything was great except the hostess who took us to our table said zero words. Zero. Probably 4.5 stars but can’t pick that.

   We have buffet but it wasn’t worth the price for the food selection and service which was so bad
