Was seated at our reservation time, outdoors on the deck. Waited at our table for exactly 30 minutes before we got up from our water side table and went and sat at the bar to get service. Thank goodness for Rodney, he saves the night. Food was good and Rodney’s service was great.
It was a pleasure to sit outside on the waterfront. The food met expectations but service very slow. It appeared they were understaffed on a reasonably slow night. Server was trying to be friendly but had a ‘direct’ manner that was bothersome.
Our server Daniella was very pleasant. Seemed the kitchen was a little slammed but she did a great job keeping us informed and happy. The food was Excellent. The mojito was too sweet. Get the grouper blackened...delish! The grilled octopus and stone crab claws were excellent too.
We were celebrating our daughter's 20th birthday with family and friends. Sitting outside was a bit chilly, but the heater helped. Ambience was nice looking at the water (even in the dark). Our waiter, Mark, was excellent. Kept up with refilling some heavy water drinkers, was concise in offering his opinion to advise us on menu options, and made everyone feel special as we celebrated! Thank you.
Thank you so much for dining and celebrating your daughters birthday with us!!! We hope to see you for your next special occasion, or any time in between!
Over waiters name is Mark. Great waiter and kept tap on how we were doing and if needed anything 👍
Restaurant is really very nice. Valet car parking. Indoor and outdoor seating both with views of the water. Nice indoor bar area. Menu is relatively large and food was spectacular. Quantity of food was appropriate for the prices. Service was very attentive and pleasant. Definitely will return.
Thank you so much for your lovely review!!! We hope to be able to wow you again soon!
Great dinner on the bay in Naples.
Took my family nice server friendly
Beautiful River View.
Delicious food and generous portions.
Our waitress, Brianna, was absolutely perfection.
Marci, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us your feedback!!! We hope to see you again soon, and please feel free to ask for Brianna again!!!
Waitress had to many table and service was inferior.
Prices for food was not competitive relying on location to justify pricing.
Would not recommend with so many better restaurants in the area.
Excellent atmosphere and great food and service Beautiful views
Service was very slow she said they were underhanded
Service was accommodating and the food delicious. It was a cool evening, but the heaters do the trick outside.
Thanks for dining with us!!! We hope to see you soon!!!
Waiter needs a personality.
Great place, good atmosphere. Will be coming back!
See you soon!!!!
Food was mediocre at best. Very salty and heavy on butter but not tasty or memorable. Drink menu was uninspired and the beer selection was an absolute joke. Service was good, not terrific (weekday so probably not well staffed so not going to hold that against them given COVID issues). Fish was actually cooked perfectly, moist and flaky. Seems like it was just cooked in a vat of butter. No true flavor. There is a weird mix/match to sides and such so there is no flavor coherence and made for an meal that was lacking when compared with the bill. Go somewhere else.
Very comfortable experience. Food was terrific and the selection of choices was more then satisfying. I would definitely return.
Thanks for your review, see you soon!!!!!
Still a great view - but had reservations still had a wait had to check in twice people that came after we arrived sitting down almost immediately? Restaurant inside and outside wasnt real busy so must have been the staff , needing more servers. Most everyone had masks or protective covering. Lobster Mac and cheese used to be y favorite here - but price has increased and serving is smaller. I would still recommend trying to out just for the view we sat outside by the water on a cold night but was still nice.
Great selection on the menu. Our server, Mollie, was awesome! Attentive with being overbearing, courteous, fun! Made our dinner there very enjoyable!
Thanks Jeanie!!!! We hope to see you real soon!!!!
Great waiter and food
Our first time dining was fantastic! We had a beautiful view of the water from our table. Wonderful selection of seafood and fare from land. Will definitely be dining again.
Thanks for the great review!!!!!
Been several times. Not great server this time. Wasn’t notified they were out of ordered food until everyone else’s food arrived. Request Kerri. She’s an amazing server we’ve had in past. Food always great. Reasonable prices. Great location.
We went here intending to have a lobster lunch but the server made us feel so unwelcome we had the coconut shrimp appetizer and left. We were seated outside on a perfect afternoon. The waiter was an older man who would literally drop off our items and keep going. I don't think he said a word to us. It's unfortunate to have somebody like that representing your restaurant.
Enjoyed the food, service excellent, and outdoor dining relaxing
We dined outside and had nice heater to keep us warm as it was a chilly evening. Our server was outstanding. She was very attentive and delivered hot and delicious seafood.
We did have a very vocal toddler at the table next to us which shortened our time there and put to rest any thoughts of dessert or after dinner drink. Saved us some calories!
Always the best fish, prepared the way you like it at the Boathouse. We have been trying to only eat outside and the Boathouse has definitely stepped up to the challenge. They have recently updated the outdoor tables and chairs so it is even nicer than it used to be out on the deck.
We had local Red Grouper, blackened, and it was excellent as always. They make outstanding Clams Casino for an appetizer.
Service is slow. they could use more wait staff most of the time
Great service and yummy food!
We had a 5:30 reservation and at 6:00 had to argue with hostess to get a seat. I ordered the lite portion of crab stuffed shrimp and got 3 tiny shrimp with a dot if crab. Plain broccoli was my side. I would not go back as it was overpriced and not all that tasty.
Went there 3 times with our 110 ib German Shepherd. Perfect time!
Great food, great view and great time!
Excellent meals and outdoor seating. Service below standard....long wait time but seemed to be limited to our server only. Excellent choice for dining in Naples area.
We have eaten and enjoyed The Boathouse in the past and enjoyed the food, ambiance and just about everything about it however, sad to say, that his restaurant is not covid compliant nor do they seem to be paying attention to the risk to their staff or to the patrons. They do not follow CDC rules. Just a couple of quickies. 1) To get to the desk to sign in you have to go through the crowd on the "ramp", 2) when you get to the desk there were 7 people (not counting the staff) crammed into a very small space, 3) the gal that took us to our seats had her nose over her mouth but not her nose, 4) in order to get to our seat we had to slide between the chairs of seated diners (our girl asked several to "suck it in" so we could get by, 5) when we got to our table we could reach out and easily touch the next 3 tables (the fourth side was a wall). There is so much more that The Boathouse could do to ensure safe dining. Shame on us though since when I looked it up on TripAdvisor other people had already made the same observations. Shame on The Boathouse for not responding properly. PEOPLE WILL LIKELY GET SICK, SOME MAY DIE, BECAUSE THE BOATHOUSE DID NOT TAKE APPROPRIATE PRECAUTIONS....EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE.
We were there for New Years Day for dinner
Halibut with lemon butter was fab but salad very small n broccoli was 4 florets.
Definitely not concerned about Covid there. Had I not been with others I would’ve left or asked to be moved. No partitions; no distancing between tables etc. It was clean & masks were worn. I felt uncomfortable.
Very loud. People were friendly.
Food was all too
buttery
Our waiter, Ian, was AMAZING!! Great vibe and music!!
Beautiful view and excellent food & service.
Made a 3:15 reservation for Jan 1st thinking we would have a relaxing afternoon.
Wait staff complains about being tired from New Years Eve. Server was absent for most of the time, had an “I don’t care attitude”. Food was not good. Potatoes and lobster were over cooked and dry. Prime Rib was.
Medium well after server assured us we could get medium rare. Very disappointing to say the least.
First, I made a reservation for 3people, outside seating. Arrived 15 min prior to reservation time, as directed. There was no one available for at least 3 minutes welcoming the guests. She appears without a smile or an apology for the wait. Then she proceeded to ask how many in my party n if I had a reservation. She located the reservation n told us that we must wait because all the tables were dirty. We waited. Then when she finally was able to sit us, she started to take care of a guest who was interested in buying merchandise. After her transactions she comes back n told us that our table was ready...we walked behind her, and suddenly she stopped n asked us to go back inside because the table was still dirty. After 5 more minutes, she told us that our table (this is way past our reservation time) is ready to follow her outside. She proceeded to sit us in a corner with no water view, next to the serving tower overlooking part of cars parked on the parking lot, n a restaurant window. She threw the menus on the table n said enjoy.
This young girl had NO customer service manners whatsoever n an “I don’t care” attitude. The restaurant owner should really look into an intense orientation for the hostess on how to welcome and treat the guests who come to the restaurant to spend money and make the place desirable for people to go back and enjoy the experience. By the way, it was 2:30 in the afternoon when the restaurant was NOT busy at all!!!
As for us, we will never visit again or recommend the place to family and friends.
1st time dining at The Bosthouse. Had dinner on NYE, excellent staff, service, and food. We enjoyed our meal and the atmosphere.
