    Need to expand the menu a bit. A little more land items. Maybe a pork or steak.

    The outside and inside ambiance was beautiful! The bartender very polite, and hospitable, however she was servicing the entire restaurant which made her less attentive for the bar guests. The lobster roll and scallops were delicious but portions small. Fries with the lobster roll were served initially cold, however after we flagged down a floor manager he replaced them quickly with new hot fresh ones. We love coming to this restaurant and we’re a bit disappointed on this visit. :-(

    Salmon with Baby Greens salad was delicious. Our large group had the Clam Chowder Hall of Fame Chowder, Fish and Chips, Lobster Roll, Hamburger, Shrimp, Cheesecake, Lemon cake, and Martinis! Everything was very good, the service exceptional and the atmosphere was excellent. Would highly recommend the Boathouse!
