    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.

    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 offers a great selection of drinks, apps, entrees and desserts. Service was wonderful and the atmosphere was welcoming. It is the perfect spot to watch the sunset over the water. Highly recommend!! Another perk: complimentary valet parking.

    Fun to enjoy a drink before dinner in the casual rooftop bar either views of the bay. We enjoyed appetizers including calamari, hush puppies and fried okra. Dinner was great two with shrimp and fries, the chefs trio, petite filet and halibut and mashed potatoes. Our server Brian was attentive and friendly. A great evening!

    Grace, thank you so much for the five-star review! We're thrilled you enjoyed relaxing on the rooftop with those beautiful inlet views and that both your appetizers and dinner hit the spot. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to Brian. He'll be elated to hear it! We hope to welcome you back for another great evening soon. Thank you, The Boathouse Team

    Had to wait an extended period for a reservation due to understaffing. However, they continue to sell reservations every 15 minutes and place tables on top of each other. On a positive note, the food was good but will probably be our last visit.
    Boathouse at Breach InletResponded 4 days ago
    Gary, thank you for your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear that your visit was impacted by wait times and crowding—this is not the experience we aim to provide. We understand how frustrating that can be, especially with a reservation. During peak season, our restaurant does get increasingly busy and we aim to take all precautions to prioritize reservations, however we tend to see tables lingering longer for a multitude of reasons and sometimes have unexpected limitations that we will always try to remedy. That said, we’re glad you enjoyed the food, and we hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future. Your input is valuable and helps us do better. Thank you, The Boathouse Team
