                    Food was amazing. Rolls were warm and delicious. Filet cooked perfectly Med Rare and flavorful. Asparagus and Mac and Cheese were perfect. Waitress was complaining that it was too hot to work outside (we were on the patio). Key lime pie is a must dessert.

                    Service is always amazing and food is great! My kids love the shrimp cocktail and the salmon meal from the kids menu. Of course we always have multiple servings of the complementary bread that is served. It is delicious!

                    Even though we had a reservation, we had to wait 30 minutes just to be seated. My son was hungry, so we made the reservation in advance for 4:45pm. We had to give up on the reservation and go to another restaurant.

                    Food was very good, a little over priced but you are on Disney property so it’s expected. Our server was OUTSTANDING! She was energetic, helpful, friendly and caring! Now the downfall. We were celebrating a birthday and had plans after dinner. We had reservations and were not seated until 1 hour AFTER our reserved time. Standing outside in “feel like temp” 105! Didn’t even hand out water for the crowd of people they had waiting. I realize it was Father’s Day, however I had reservations, made well in advance. Needless to say, our after dinner plans fell through due to their overbooking or being unable to handle a crowd. You can do better Boathouse, I was VERY disappointed! We dropped lots of $$$$ for a party of 8 and I feel you need to make some improvements on how you schedule your reservations.

                    Boathouse needs to figure out how to check in guess in a timely manor. Even with a reservation you have to wait in a 45 minute line to check in outside, then once checked in you wait 45 minutes to receive a text to go wait in another line for 30 minutes to then have to wait again for a host to seat you. This process is extremely unorganized and could be much simpler. Food runner brought out 2 lobster rolls that were missing sauce mix. Bar took over 45 minutes to get drinks made. Some of this was expected because it was Father’s Day but you would expect with this price range and it being Disney they could handle this volume. Server was kind and did a great job, food and drinks were excellent when received.
