Diner Reviews
  • "Several of my early dinners at the BoatHouse three or four years ago were disappointing. No longer; the past five or so visits have proven outstanding in every respect, from cuisine to service."

  • "Wonderful Fare Rewards service restaurant group. The view, food and service is impeccable. Best when off season, but most beautiful in season with water views and sunset views."

  • "Haven't ever been disappointed by the Boat House. Good food, great service and wonderful view. Always start with a cup of their chowder!"
    Dined on 2/25/2014
  • "We come here frequently and always have great meals and very good service. The Prix-Fixe specials (Sundays-Thursdays) are especially worth trying. (The mushroom bisque is delicioius!)"
    Dined on 2/23/2014
  • "i really like this place. my only complaint--seating. everytime i go there with a reservation there is always a 1/2 hour wait for a table. Even more in the summer. They really need to get their act together."

  • "The Boat House is outstanding. We go as often as we can"
    Dined on 2/19/2014
  • "I heard so many good things about this restaurant so my family of 4 went this past Sunday. Very disappointed. The food was flavorless, prices way too high for what we got. No sooner ordered cocktails and the appetizers were served. then the meal came. I got the seafood scampi, watery. My husband ordered the baked stuffed lobster, the stuffing completely flavorless. Mushroom bisque was fine and the scallops my daughter got were good. The Sakonnet oysters on the half shell were nothing to write home about. We will never go back again. I guess when a corporation owns a group of restaurants they are not looking for return customers."

  • "Boathouse is one of our very favorite restaurants but on this visit (Sunday, President's Day) it did not live up to its usual excellent standards. Their corn chowder is a must, spicy and delicious, but today not hot. The short rib appetizer is very good but served barely warm. My wife's sole entree special was disappointing. Dry, overcooked with very little lemon buerre blanc under the fish. Chunks of lobster were meaty but actually cold. My swordfish special was good, moist but a bit salty. Being seated in the bar area did not help. We enjoy the dining room and were frustrated to see a window table open up within a few minutes of us having been seated. Usually Boathouse is superb and we will not let an off day prevent us from returning."

  • "Great food, great drinks, great service. Wonderful experience all around!"
    Dined on 7/19/2013
  • "I've been coming here for several years, and fortunately it has remained consistently wonderful. They have the BEST wait staff, comfortable, attractive ambiance, diversified wine list, and we'll prepared food. What more can you ask for?"
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "Our seats were available immediately upon arrival, the service was very good as was the food. The tables are set a little too close for my liking, making private conversation impossible. Overall a good experience."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "The location is beautiful and romantic along the water, especially as the sun is setting. Also, the food is fantastic. Each dish had the most unique and delicious flavor combinations. The rack of lamb was perfectly cooked, very tender; with a delicious crust on the outside. We also had the coconut rum cake for dessert. The warm sauce combined with the mango sorbet, crunchy crumbles, and the rum cake itself were perfect. Can't wait to go back to try out more of their menu."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "This night was wonderful. They wait staff were attentive without being too overbearing. The food was delicious!"
    Dined on 2/13/2014
  • "Always love coming here to eat! I came in 2 weeks ago and ordered sword fish which I had to send back to be cooked a little longer. This time once again, I tried the sword fish was certainly cooked much better but I don't think I would order it again."
    Dined on 2/8/2014
  • "Great food, excellent service and magnificent view! My favorite place!"
    Dined on 2/8/2014
  • "Beautiful view of the river. Excellent draft beer. Great service and food on time nicely prepared. The crab chowder was delicious with a nice kick. For special occasions this really is a fantastic spot!"
    Dined on 2/7/2014
  • "The Boat House offers a truly beautiful interior and view. Unfortunately, the acoustics and over crowding led to a very loud atmosphere where it was hard to hold a conversation (especially with a screaming 3 year old one table over). The food and service were very good, but not great."
    Dined on 2/7/2014
  • "A very pleasurable dining experience with my 90 year old mother in law and wife. Their scallops were great and my swordfish was slightly overcooked. Great recommendation about bourbon prepared for the restaurant.from the waiter. We had reservations and did not have wait for a table at all. Highly recommend if you are in the area"
    Dined on 2/1/2014
  • "=Have dined at this restaurant many times and have never been dissatisfied. Great food and great service. Always accommodating. Love the view too."
    Dined on 2/1/2014
  • "The food was good. We felt a little crowded sitting within a foot of the next table. Service was excellent. I may go back in summer for the view."
    Dined on 2/1/2014
  • "I've been here twice over the past couple of months and it has been great both times. Everyone got something different and it was all good. My favorite is the salmon. The cocktails are also very unique and very good. Will definitely be going back again and again."
    Dined on 1/29/2014
  • "I just had a wonderful lunch at the Boathouse restaurant with a panoramic water view on a cold winter day through three walls of full length windows. The decor is elegant and has an unassuming feel. We were greeted by a hospitable host and led to a table by the window adjacent to the bar. My wife and I had the 3 corse prix fix with mushroom soup/mussels, scrod/steak and crime brûlée/bread pudding. My sister in law has the seafood scampi. We like to sample others fare and I love their seasoning and beautiful presentations. The prices are moderate and the service was attentive. I pledge to return in the near future during summer when those windows will be opened to let in the salty breeze and boats to dot the seascape."

  • "Cabin fever got us out of the house and over to The Boat House Sunday evening where we always find great food, attentive staff and casual ambiance. One of our favorites. We'll be back!"
    Dined on 1/26/2014
  • "Great food, Great service and a wonderful view of the bay."
    Dined on 1/24/2014
  • "The Boathouse is fabulous anytime of year for any occasion or just a night out. The wait staff is friendly and efficient. The food is fabulous and the setting is outstanding! In short, The Boathouse never disappoints!"
    Dined on 1/24/2014
  • "Diners finished a brunch birthday party and stood around other diners tables and spoke loudly as tough at a banquet. This was the only 10 minute bad experience of our visit."
    Dined on 1/19/2014
  • "Get the Bolognese appetizer as an entrée - delicious!!"
    Dined on 1/18/2014
  • "If you want to feel special, and have a very friendly staff then this is the place to go in Tiverton. The Boathouse is in a great spot on the water, and in the summer has outside dining. Good selection of drinks, good seafood, and prices ranging from low to high. Easy enough just to feast on appetizers and salad, and have a very satisfying meal. Try to get there at sunset, you will not be disappointed."
    Dined on 1/18/2014
  • "As the name implies, the Boathouse is in an excellent location with stunning waterfront views. The ambience is cheerful and very friendly. Quarters are a little bit cramped but when the deck is open in the spring/summer/fall then all is well! Lovely staff, not intimidated by jocular customers and willing to participate in the fun, without imposing themselves or controlling the flow of conversation. It is nice to eat in a place where the staff are allowed the time to get to know their clients! The food is excellent with lively vibrant presentations. Adequate menu for non-fish eaters but great for everyone else. I have been informed by my dining guests that the dessert menu should (dare I say, must) include more chocolate!"
    Dined on 1/18/2014
  • "We dine there frequently. I love the view and the food."
    Dined on 1/16/2014
  • "Even though we had reservations we waited about 30 minutes for our table. The host brought us a free appetizer because our table wasn't ready on time. We did not get a window seat as requested but the great food and good service made that okay. This is one of our favorite restaurants in RI and especially love it when we can enjoy the outside patio and views. Cannot wait for our next visit."

  • "Great food, great service, great waterview. Everybody who I have brought to the Boathouse has enjoyed it and returned and recommended the Boathouse."

  • "I've begun dining regularlay at the Boat House because of the view and great food--excellent service always."

  • "I have been here many times and they have yet to disappoint. I will go here before Providence any day. Great food, drinks made with pride and service has been outstanding. The view is also one of the best around! I have been there on date nights with my wife and with my 9 month old and they always treat me with the same respect and class."
    Dined on 12/31/2013
  • "A great location and excellent service. The waitstaff is very attentive and works to make your experience a good one. The food has declined in the past 6 months with the loss of Chef Cambra and the hiring of a new culinary team. The food lacks the quality of flavor it previously had. I find most dishes quite plain and ordinary. The menu prices remain high and the food needs to be improved to make it the great restaurant it was. It is time for the culinary team to get creative and kick it up a notch. No more Sysco dinners. Thank goodness for the waitstaff and the ambiance. I think for the moment we'll enjoy the great sunset views with a glass of wine and the calamari appetizer. We'll skip dinner until the new chefs get their feet under them."
