The Boathouse at Rocketts Landing

Shrimp on the grill too long making them tough.....

Wife and I visiting Richmond and went for a leisurely evening of fine dining. Great scenery. Very good service. We had a lovely evening.

Excellent service, beautiful location, great food. The only negative was value- slightly higher priced when compared to other similar experiences in our opinion. Would save this restaurant for a special occasion rather than a regular place to visit.

Great views, good food, good service. Pricey, but brunch is a better value than dinner. Atmosphere is lively, but loud. I will return and recommend this to family and friends. Only Complaint: It was difficult to hear conversation at our own table - everyone needed to shout to be heard. The glass & masonry box is architecturally interesting but, does nothing to absorb the sound. On top of the loud conversation coming from every table - the restaurant plays background music. This only serves to make everyone yell louder. Expect excellent food, but bring your earplugs.

Sunday brunch at the Boathouse at Rocketts Landing is always on our schedule when we are in Richmond overnight. The food is excellent and the city view is great. It is a relaxing way to "recover" from weekend meetings and hotel banquets.

Great restaurant
Beautiful views!!! Great service and amazing fresh seafood!

Great food - great atmosphere - even BETTER service! We just don't like having to go through downtown to get there.

The atmosphere is very nice and the service was great. The food portions were small. I paid alot of money for 4 scallops on the plate and a few spears of asparagus with a scoop of mashed potatoes. The food was good but not outstanding. The beer selection could be better.

First, I believe in being stingy with 5-star ratings. The experience must be outstanding to rate the fifth star, so don't let four stars be misleading.

The table was sticky on one side, with one of the forks having bits of food stuck between the tines. I am not fussy, but this brought down the score. The waiter quickly and graciously rectified the oversight.
The music was too loud. We arrived at 5:45 on Friday night. I assume this is normal, but it makes conversation too difficult.

The view out of the window was beautiful, with a commanding view of the James River on one side, and a view of the downtown skyline on the other.

The food was very good. I ordered the Duck Cassoulet. I thoroughly enjoyed this dish. The meat was tender and flavorful, with thin strips of fat on the edge of each bite. It was served on a bed of beans, which were delicious.

I would recommend this restaurant with caution, but for my wife and I, we prefer the location at Sunday Park. It is quieter and more peaceful.

Has always had a great evening at The Boat House

Great food and service, will be back next time we are in town

Great location. Friendly attentive service, and good food.

Match Day lunch the views were great as was the food a great Richmond eatery

Great place to eat, wonderful food, and our server Kaitlin was superb........ but watch out if you like your bourbon neat with “one rock”. The “one rock” cost $2.00. A $2 ICE CUBE......RIDICULOUS. Otherwise great place to go and the view, ambiance and interior environment and setting is fantastic.

Wonderful Sunday Brunch. The food and atmosphere were great. Service was wonderful without the pressure to leave as soon as we were done eating. Great experience

Food and service were excellent.
Kaylee di an exceptional job.

Everything was great! I will definitely be dining here again soon! And I’m recommending it to friends and coworkers. Job well done

Thank you for the excellent experience and superb cuisine!

It was our first time and we will definitely go back. Excellent service, delicious food and great ambiance

Kyle the manager and our server were very nice. Food was good, and there was minimal wait time. Overall good view and good experience.

Fun evening - great food and service

Food and service was amazing! Our server and Kyle the manager were excellent!

Great place to take someone special. View is wonderful.

It was my first time at The Boathouse, but not for all in our party. Our experience could not have been better! Wonderful server, wonderful food, wonderful view...just an overall great evening.

Disappointed in Appetizer. 6 oyster shells but only 5 oysters? Waiter didn’t acknowledge when we showed him or offer to fix

Great service. Awkward wait time between choosing between the made to order omelette and standard menu items — standard menu items arrived well before the made to order items were available.

Great meal...period. Would definitely go back...50 yet?...

Service was a bit slow. My husband's order did not come out correctly but the waitress did make it right.
I thought the restaurant was a bit expensive.

Awesome experience and great food

We loved the boathouse! The food and service were excellent! We can’t wait to go back when it’s warm and sit on the deck by the water. 2 complaints though...1, it was so loud I couldn’t even hear people that were sitting at my own table! 2, we made reservations a week in advance and requested a table by the window with a water view but we were sat in the middle of the room. That was a big disappointment. The wine selection was good and the wine recommendations were great! Only negative for wine is that the bottle we chose was $28 but we bought the same bottle at target for $9.99!! The crab cakes were amazing and the steak was cooked in point! Wished we had room for dessert. We will definitely be back!

The food was excellent and the staff very friendly.

Excellent food and service
Also a great time can’t wait to come back and celebrate our anniversary

Great food. Friendly attentive service. Overall, a great dining experience

Great place with an amazing view. All the dishes we ate were a good portion size and very tasty. Definitely will eat here again.

My wife and I had a good meal and a good time dining at Rocketts again. We split the yummy chilled seafood tray (again) with salads and it was a feast for 2 (an appetizer for 4). When I return with 3 friends please add 2 more oysters to the tray so we each can enjoy at least 2 of those fresh and delicious on the half shells. The smoked salmon was excellent this time too, melted in your mouth. One of those spicy condiments brought tears to my eyes, but they were tears of joy ;-) We shall return!

Fabulous, Delicious food, I will go again real soon.

Great food, great views but service was not up to par on Monday.

Great service and meal. Seated by the window to enjoy the beautiful view of the city and the river.

Good food, nice place, enjoyable

One of our favorite places in Richmond! Lower stars for this visit because salads were missed. Mentioned to server who delivered the food, and he apparently told the manager, because he was right over and comped our first round of wine. That was impressive that he came over on his own. Hopefully next time the weather will be nicer, because we love sitting outside on the deck. The views are fabulous!
