    What a nice waiter we had last night for my dad’s 86th BD ! You honored my special request for where to be seated and it was lovely! Food was decent! The burger my son ordered looked delicious ! Without even asking … they brought my dad a scoop of ice cream that he raved about being FABULOUS all the way home and even the next day ! So whatever ice cream you’ve got keep it up! Wished ya carried High Noon!

    The service and food was great. Our server checked on us often to make sure we have everything we needed. My husband was totally enjoying his Walleye. We will be back. Your backdrop is the water and boats. We enjoyed it.

    We have enjoyed the food at The Boat House often over the past 10 years and we were excited to try their new menu. We were very disappointed to find the food awful. My husband had a steak bowl that had no flavor and he could not even chew the steak. I had the beef short rib dip. I asked for it without onions and it came with onions. After some time, the waiter came and had it remade. The beef was like a stringy, tough, dry pot roast and the dipping juice so spicy it burned my throat. The waffle fries were cold and awful tasting. The waiter just said that he would tell the kitchen to do better. We are so sad that this is a restaurant we use to enjoy but will never return to.

    Enjoyable evening with friends along with food and too much to drink. Good food and Long Island drinks. We had a booth and somewhat private.
