We had a great dinner at the Boat House! I had the fried Haddock and my wife ordered the Crab Cakes that were served with asparagus and Yukon mashed potatoes. The cakes were full of great tasting crab meat, and cooked to perfection. For dessert we ordered their signature bread pudding it served warm with vanilla ice cream and sautéed banana slices drizzled with caramel sauce.

Dinner was wonderful. We sat next to a window overlooking the river on a stormy rainy evening. Our waiter was wonderful. Our drinks and appetizers were served promptly and our meal was delivered in a timely manner. The plates were abundant and cooked perfectly. While the food is pricey It’s worth the visit. We go to this restaurant several times a year for special occasions. All in all a truly lovely evening.

Excellent food with a good menu variety. Our server April was just great. We were there with a two year and the staff was very accommodating. The views are of course breath taking on the water. I would really recommended going early week. I know they get busier later in the week. The slow Monday night allowed us a quiet and relaxing pace for dinner.

We recently ate at the BoatHouse City point location for a Birthday event. We made reservations and were seated upon arrival. We received our food an hour after ordering and the portion sizes were underwhelming. The house salad was bitter and had a small piece of plastic wrapping in it. The waitress was pleasant and curteous. Not a bad experience, but not our best after several past visits that were really good.

what a view - if you're looking for waterfront dining and good food, this is it. Beautiful decor, happy hour is a bit noisy over the top, but the dining experience was a 10 out of 10.
