Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

The Berkeley Boathouse offers a scenic dining experience with "great service" and "wonderful views." Highlights include "delicious" Chilean Sea Bass and "amazing" bay views. While service shines, menu limitations and pricing may deter some. The restaurant is ideal for non-vegan diners seeking a memorable waterfront meal with attentive staff like Roger.

I was surprised for a Father's Day brunch there were not many people at all. The location is amazing, I love Berkeley, but the service of this place was so poorly managed. I saw 2 managers walking around, and more bussers walking than actual servers. The food was alright, pretty basic brunch items, the mimosa flight was overly juiced barely any sparkling wine. I got coffee and had to wait for a busser to ask for cream and sugar, just not good. I had higher expectations for the amount of money I paid for this place. It has great potential but needs some major improvements.

It has potential but there needs to be a collective investment in the experience of the customer. From customer service to wayfinding. It’s a great location and is close to being a great spot.

To begin, the service was very good and we really enjoyed our spunky kind waiter. The staff assisting was not as “on the ball”. We were there celebrating our son’s graduation. The views were beautiful and we did get a peak of the sunset. The food was very good. I had Chilean Sea Bass which was excellent. One son had salmon which he enjoyed and the other son had steak which was very well prepped and delicious. The mussels appetizer was a large bowl of them in a delicious broth but bread was never delivered which I found odd, not realized as we spent the evening in good conversation. All in all a wonderful experience and definitely recommended.

The service is good, but the food is not great. The food like flavor a bit overpriced and I would just go somewhere else if you’re looking for a nice dinner.

I was expecting more from this restaurant. The food was just ok. I ordered eggs Benedict and it came out just barely warm. I didn't notice when I booked the reservation that the restaurant was attached to a hotel.
