    We went for Father's Day dinner which was a set menu. $69 for a soup or salad, main course, and a dessert. This was grossly over priced for the quality of food we received. After waiting an hour after ordering we finally got our soup/salad and our mains came out 2 minutes later so our table was cramped and our mains got cold while we were eating our soup/salad. Two of our mains were wrong and either under or over cooked, and the other two mains were fine, not worth the $69 the meal cost. The plate presentation was pathetic for a "fine dining seafood restaurant" and every bite of seafood in the pasta dishes were either overcooked or under seasoned. We will not be returning and would love for this location to turn into a much better restaurant.

    Unfortunately our experience was not the greatest. It was Father’s Day and the father of our group didn’t even eat well his main course was supposed to be a seafood carbonara but it was far from that there was no egg used. The dish was sent back and taken off the bill, it was a dissappointing experience. The service was very slow the poor waitress kept apologizing, lovely lady. Not sure we will return for a very long time.

    The food was great but the service was not. We had reservations to celebrate Fathers day...our dinner took a total of 2.5 hours. We understand that it was a very busy day but that is an unreasonable amount of time for a dinner, we spent way too long waiting for our food. Our server was also extremely busy and did not offer to refill our drinks or take our dirty plates away. He was nice but I can tell was over worked, he did not check-in with us at all. We have come to this boathouse location quite a few times but we were quite disappointed yesterday.

    I let our server know my dad had recently passed away and wanted him to leave the extra table setting; the Boathouse was one of his favorite restaurants to go to. Our server asked what my dad drank and he delivered a virgin chichi for him. This wad so thoughtful and kind. It really was a lovely added touch along with us enjoying the food my dad loved so much.

    My son and I went to the New West Boathouse to celebrate my birthday as we have always enjoyed it there. Unfortunately, the service was awful. Our server, albeit very kind, kept forgetting everything we ordered. We asked for bread. It never came. We ordered calamari. It never came. I ordered a glass of wine. It never came. Our dinner did eventually come. Customarily, since I have been to the Boathouse on my birthday before, we would get treated to a dessert, but that never happened. It was truly disappointing. The food was delicious, so kudos to the kitchen, but, sadly, the service was awful. I should have spoken to a manager, but didn’t. I felt bad as our server was very apologetic. But, in hindsight, I truly feel there needs to be more training at this location because even the bus boy was unpleasant. He tried to clear a table away across from us when the women had just stepped aside to take a picture. When he brought us our meals, he was rude and miserable. Certainly does not like his job and should not be interfacing with customers. Very unfortunate overall.
