Looking for a fine dining restaurant that isn’t over priced and produces high quality meals? The Boathouse is the place to go. Every meal was absolutely beautiful and brought out to the table in a timely manner. It was a little bit warm inside however with the windows open you are able to feel a nice breeze off the water. I can’t wait to go back again.

Amazing food! Restaurant changed hands a few months ago and the new chefs are amazing! Everything I tried was amazing, but in particular the scallops and steaks stood out. Food and service are amazing and I plan to go a lot more!

Great fine dining place. Staff provided excellent service and the food was served in a very timely manner. Food was exceptional and the experience would've been better during the daytime when the water views could be seen and enjoyed. Overall, great place to go to for a special occasion!
