   We had a fantastic experience that exceeded our expectations. The food was exceptional, and the atmosphere really enhanced our enjoyment. Our waitress was attentive and ensured we were well taken care of throughout the evening. The drinks were outstanding, and the filet mignon was nothing short of perfect. Each guest found a dish that suited their tastes, whether they preferred vegan options, seafood, chicken, or steak. The variety of appetizers was perfect for sharing, adding to the overall enjoyment of the meal. While it was on the pricier side, the quality of the experience made it well worth the cost.

   Food drinks and service all great! Portion size was quite small on several dishes. Otherwise delicious. Dessert was incredible.

   While we are typically used to a top-notch experience at the Boat House, last night left us very disappointed. The food was okay but underwhelming - poorly described on the menu and not all that well-executed- and the service was unacceptably slow. Granted, we were approximately ten minutes late for our 6:45 reservation due to traffic- I did call the restaurant ahead of time to let them know, and was assured it would be no problem. We were seated on the covered patio right away. Our sever, while very pleasant, seemed either overwhelmed or unfocused. Drinks, appetizers and entrees took eons to be brought out. We were at the restaurant for three hours, which might have been nice for a leisurely afternoon but not at all appropriate for a birthday dinner with my elderly parents. I will think again before returning for a special dinner. What happened here??
