Boat House Waterfront Dining

It’s been a couple years since I’ve been to the Boathouse. But the food and service was as excellent as I remember.

Best of the Best!

A+. I love going there. My husband loved the monkfish and I love

We are frequent diners here because it’s convenient to where we live, and the view is outstanding. The service is always wonderful but though the menu sounds intriguing, the food rarely is.

Recent dining experience was at the end of a busy Friday night. Service was excellent, appetizers were excellent and two out of three main courses were excellent. My scallops were overdone and dry. Seems like they may have been sitting for awhile or else cooked earlier and reheated. A disappointment to an otherwise nice evening.

Lovely spot with good food, nice menu selection and from a gluten restricted person, it offered a lot of variety. Much appreciated.

Service was great food was very good. Next time I will request a table by the window. I felt the tables were kind of to close together. Staff was on top of food allergs.

It was great, my boyfriend and I went for a romantic date. I LOVED that I had a ton of gluten free options, food was great, server was so polite, great service and romantic ambience. We will definitely be back

Outstanding view for sunset. Food was delicious, service was great. Price was very fair for the amount and quality of our meal.

Excellent evening dining at The Boat House. The food was exceptional, and every detail was what you want when you go out to dinner. The menu had great seafood choices that had creative, unique and delicious tastes. The service was great and the price reasonable. Highly recommend and will be back again!!!

This was my second visit to Boathouse. Failed to make reservations the first time but did this time. Food and drinks were great. Waitperson - JP - was terrific. Looking forward to going back when it's warmer and sitting outside.

The food is always great the waiter was very busy and didn't check on us often but when he did he was very engaged.

James, the manager, was very attentive and helped make our night enjoyable. Jessica, our server, was attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. She made our evening fantastic!

Delicius food my favorite Oisters, fresh and BIG, our waitress Lisa was professional, her kindness a plus +

My husband and I took my parents here for my mom's birthday. They had never been and they loved it! We were seated next to the window and it was beautiful. Loved the gelato/sorbet for dessert!

This was my first time at this restaurant, what an amazing dining experience. It was my boyfriends birthday and neither of us have visited the restaurant. What an amazing view within the restaurant no matter where you sat with in the restaurant. The prompt service and the amazing staff and friendly environment. Meal was prompt and delivered to precise perfection

I absolutely love this restaurant! The food is fantastic, the service is great, and the location by the water is perfect!

Better than expected and I had very high expectations. Food was amazing and the service was fantastic. Can’t wait to see that view in the summer.

A little pricey, but always an enjoyable dining experience. Could use acoustic panels or sound reduction to lower loud conversation level.

We can always rely on na good meal at the Boathouse.

Love the BH!

Great food and good service in a very pleasant atmosphere

best food ever 5 stars all the way told all my friends about it

First visit (new RI resident) - recommended by many neighbors. It was a slow Monday and dreary weather so we didn't get the usual vibe.

Service was excellent. Food very good. Good cocktails and decent and inexpensive wine by the glass list. We'll return in better weather..

Wonderful birthday dinner! Unbelievable views of sunset!!!
Arrived 30 minutes early for reserved time of 4:45. Greeted promptly with a smile.
Other guests without reservation were told the wait was about an hour.
Drinks: great cosmopolitan
Appetizers: calamari - perfectly cooked with deep fried pepper and olives- and mezzo plate-well balanced and tasty
Diner: Paella - large shrimp, scallops, clams, and fish - colorful mixture with saffron rice served in traditional round flat pan yummy
Warm soft bread rolls
Dessert: tasty and with a single verse of happy birthday from our Waiter
after dinner drinks of Italian coffee, black Sambucca.
This will be my go to place for special occasions. Well worth our 30 minute drive. Can’t wait for summer!
I will be sure to come back again!

Loved the whole experience, as well as my in-laws and it was their first time there. Newport Restaurant Group does not disappoint. Looking forward to the next time!

3:00 reservation water front view as requested. Appetizers Shrimp cocktail - Lobster Fritters (great)
Bottle of Aveleda Vinho Verde (great) Filet Mignonette - Scallops & Shrimp (Great) great anniversary dinner 5 STARRS

Food and Service was very good. Manager came over to check how our meal was.

My boyfriend and I both work in the industry and we both agreed it was very hard to have a conversation. We sat at a two top in the center of the restaurant and even though it wasn’t crazy busy we still couldn’t hear each other at times. Maybe move two tops to the outer parts of the restaurant and have the larger tables in the center? Just a thought. We will def be back but will be sure to request a booth or a table along the wall

Fantastic Gluten Free menu - and the cocktails are fabulous

Romantic with beautiful view! Great local foods. Window seats are best during the day.

Fantastic!!! Food drinks ambience were just as expected - always great!!!

Wonderful Valentines Day Dinner w my husband .
Delicious as always ! :)

The Boat House is always Excellent. Service and food is always very good.

Valentine’s Day date. Food was excellent and the service was impeccable.

Nice day in February to celebrate Valentine's Day. All expectations met, including a table by the window.

A 2PM Birthday and Valentine brunch. Jamie was an excellent server with good knowledge of the wines and specials.

I have eaten here a lot over the years and standards are slipping. Salmon was overdone and underwhelming. A side order of root vegetable latkes was not prepared and then when requested was delivered, undercooked after the meal. Also, latkes are pancake like. They are supposed to be on the flat side. These were an inch thick and thus basically raw in the middle. Latke was not an accurate description of what was served. It was more burger or dumpling or cake... not latke. My coffee cup was dirty and served on a saucer full of spilled coffee.. and frankly wasn't nice coffee either. The ginger cake desert was on the dry side and my wife's decaf coffee ordered with it came out only when requested a second time, this time after desert was done. They did comp the decaf, but really this was a very expensive lunch for such a disappointing experience.

I would recommend going to Boat House Waterfront Dining! The food was great. I had the seafood scampi and it was delicious! The waiter was very nice and informative. It was very pretty with an ocean view and the noise level was perfect.

Outstanding food and service.
