    The food was pretty good but with Charleston close by it has very tough competition. It was nice not to drive downtown. Our server was great.

    Unfortunately my reservation request for seating near a window was not honored. They sat us in the exact opposite of what I requested. They did apologize and offered a round of free drinks. However, we went there for sunset and the view and were disappointed to be by the wall and not able to see the water.

    Food and service were excellent. I got the special, and it was delicious. My husband said his strip steak was the best one he’s had at a restaurant. Parking is an issue but the Valet is free, make sure to tip! We loved the outside deck and are looking forward to coming back to enjoy the sunset from the rooftop bar.

    Food was absolutely delicious, but, a martini priced at $21 influenced the value rating.

    There are places that reap the benefits of a majestic view which The Boathouse has in spades. But the sum of our experience on the evening is greater than the part about the majestic view. Billy, the bartender, could dazzle royalty with his perfect concoctions. Ryan, our waiter, personifies Southern charm. Did I mention the view? Never at a loss for words, always happy to engage in conversation, I wanted only on this evening to watch the wonders of nature framed on the screened porch. The innocent peach of the sunset contrasted with crimson highlights, resting on shimmering blue grey water. Birds in flight. Birds diving for food. Fishermen coming home. Guiding their sea worn boats in with the day’s catch. Did I mention the appetizers? Who makes hushuppies that would hush the most ravenous appetite? That you can’t stop eating if you weren’t even hungry? The Boathouse. Pickled okra fried? Yes mam. And it was delicious. Lobster tails that transported me to a Maine vacation I cherish. Shrimp and grits. Buttery fresh green beans and asparagus. And oh, that key lime pie. But just the preparation, the presentation, the taste, the view, would not cause me to give 5 stars. Without the service. The boathouse has my heart. My loyalty. Because of the service. Don’t miss it. The sun rises and sets for this gem of a restaurant.

    Hi Heather, Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you love the majestic view it truly is breathtaking. We're so glad that Billy and Ryan gave you amazing service and made such a good impression. Your loyalty means the world to us. We can't wait to welcome you back again soon for more great food, beautiful views and amazing service. Thank you from the Boathouse Team!

    Food great, service great, prices reasonable. My gin and tonic was very small and I didn’t taste the gin. If my cocktail had been generous it would have been a near perfect experience.
    Boathouse at Breach InletResponded 1 day ago
    Hi Ken, Thank you for the great feedback! We're so glad to hear you enjoyed everything-though we're sorry the gin and tonic didn't quite hit the mark. We hope to welcome you back soon and next time we'd love the chance to get that gin and tonic just how you like it!
