    The food was above average. The service was terrible. We saw several servers standing around while we waited and waited for service and finally asked a server to take our order. We also had to ask for the bill. Unless you were on the patio. Unless you have a lot of time to sit and wait maybe try another spot. Too bad as the food was pretty good.

    Originally made reservations for outside dining. it was quite windy with a chance of showers, even though there are large umbrellas; we asked if we could be seated inside. Thankfully there was room to accommodate our change. Thank you. There were four adults dinning and all of our meals were excellent and tasty! We ordered; steak, salmon, pasta and a burger. All cooked perfectly! Our server was great and did not rush us to order nor to move after we had been there two hrs. I highly recommend The Boathouse Eatery. See you again! Cheers 🥂

    There is much to enjoy at the Boathouse, and the food is adequate, does not need to be better, but perhaps should show more evidence of a chef's thoughtfulness. This would make the boathouse outstanding.

    Reservation was not as requested. Also was given a reduced menu instead of the correct one; however the management apologised, restaurant had been very busy and had not notified hostéhostess of change. Gift certificate given.

    We were greeted immediately upon arrival. The wait staff took our drink orders and provided sufficient time to review the menu before ordering. The space was clean. We had initially planned to eat on the patio, but it was grey and a little cool. We did take out coffee to the patio after our meal. The owner thanked us for dining with them. All in all it was a good experience.
