We were a party of 8 with 4 adults and 4 small kids and had a great time. The menu has a good variety of popular dishes and drinks with a nice twist. We enjoyed the guacamole, tuna nachos, crab cakes, tacos and a nice birthday dessert. Service was excellent and our waitress was very kind and professional. The boathouse atmosphere is really nice with great views and we were seated close to a fireplace. Would definitely come back.
