    I decided to bring my girlfriend to dinner here on Valentine’s Day and honestly I could not recommend this restaurant more, the food arrived within 10 minutes after ordering and was spectacular, well worth the price. If you are considering giving it a try let this review be the deciding factor, the service was outstanding, waiters were great and very polite. 10/10 experience.

    The Dining room was quite cold, and when they opened the door to move chairs etc for music it was even colder. I had the pulled beef on a bun. While the food was fine the needed to be drained before loaded on the bun. The bottom half of the bun was soaked and fell apart.

    The waitress made a confusion with our plates twice. Brought me a different soup from the one I asked and a different hamburger for my husband. I made a reservation and I thought the table wasn’t great. In the back of the restaurant and a little cold because of the windows.

    This was our 4th visit to Boathouse this season .Our first time there for dinner. The food experience was not up to Boathouse standard . Lunch is the best.
