    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??
