Great casual place to eat on the water in the bay area if Naples. We sat on their outside deck and we had a nice table with a nice view. Service was good and so was the food. If you are looking for a good seafood meal at a reasonable price with a water view this is the restaurant for you. I would highly recommend.
The seafood was excellent. Our party had snow crab and Brazilian lobster which were outstanding. A couple of our group members who don’t do seafood ordered the filet mignon and NY strip. We don’t recommend either. The spinach that came with the beef was delicious. Ambience - if you are in the mood for dining in an extremely boisterous atmosphere, you will love it. We were not, and found it very disturbing to our meal. COVID consideration is nonexistent. Tables are nearly on top of each other and this restaurant is seating parties practically together, barely room to leave the table once you are seated. Our waitress removed her mask to speak with us as well. Even though the seafood is great, we will not dine here again due to the so-so quality of steaks and the ear bursting noise level. Prices are also very high.
Overall experience would be summed up as chaotic. The two hostesses were young, dismissive and too concerned with internal drama. Not one but two trays of food were dropped. It didn't appear that there was any manager on duty to oversee the running of the restaurant.
We had great food and service! Veronica was very attentive, and pleasant! We enjoyed sitting outside and relaxing!
Had the crab and lobster... Wonderful!
Great spot for outdoor dining. Food and service very good.
I ordered Alaskan Halibut. They brought me 3 different fish.....none were halibut. It’s an expensive piece of fish so I would expect that they would know. The service was something I would expect at Stan’s not a fine dining restaurant. The server was very rough around the edges
Visiting guest really enjoyed the whole experience. Great menu, great food.
Will return
Great waitress. Food was ok. The noise was unbearable.
Tables were very cramped and 2 of the seats were in direct sunlight on a very warm day. 1 Hostess very nice the other was rude - not only to us but to several people that were inquiring about a table. We luckily had reservations which are pretty much required even if there are several open tables.
The food was outstanding and the atmosphere was very nice.
Great service, decent food and sweet location
Food was ok service was horrible. The presentation of food was horrible. Wouldn’t go back.
Great service and food!!!!
Great experience on the patio.
Wonderful ambiance.... Tables spaced well for covid.... Wait staff all in masks....
We had an amazing time, and the food was excellent! Joe, our waiter, was wonderful. He has the absolute best personality, and provided exceptional service.
Food was amazing, service a little slow, very nice sitting outside
Wanted a true Florida seafood dinner with scenic views. Great spot
Excellent food. Good service.
We had a great experience! The food was delicious and the ambiance was wonderful!
Great views and vibe for the restaurant. But, the food and service is average at best. Prices are high for the quality of food and service. You are paying extra to sit near the water.
Our visit to The Boathouse was frankly disappointing. While our server was good, the noise level made it very difficult to have a conversation comfortably. Our appetizer, the chargrilled octopus was good but minimal and why they put corn with it I'll never understand. Our main courses were OK but my husband's sides were bigger than his fish. The wine list was good. Not a repeat for us I'm afraid.
Fitting decor for location, large menu, food was very good.
Our filet mignon came out rare when it it was ordered as medium- medium well. Not good when everyone is eating their dinner but yours was sent back to the kitchen...
Great location. Great food. Great service. Would definitely recommend this place
We enjoyed our meal and the time spent there.
The restaurant was great! I loved how they had a valentines balloon arch where people were able to take photos! The service was fast! Waitress provided us with great wine suggestions and amazing food choices! We enjoyed our time and had an amazing dinner. Will definitely recommend others and will come back again!
We had a seat outside on a beautiful night. Had a nice selection to chose from. Service was great!
Put into a corner where the servers hit my husband with a door when they came out. No view. Steak was less than tender and under cooked.
My husband and I celebrated Valentine’s Day and it was wonderful. We sat outside and it was beautiful. Will definitely be back!
Service was very slow. The server had to many tables.
We had a wonderful experience. We were first time diners at this restaurant, found it on Open Table website.
What a hidden gem. Nestled in back of other building and took a little walking to find the restaurant but it was well worth it.
Only negative was the delay in getting seated. We had a reservation but they were busy and we had to wait about 20 minutes to be seated.
The atmosphere was great, seating on the waterway with boats coming and going.
We had great service even with most tables full and our waitress running non stop from kitchen to the sitting area.
I saved the best for last, the food. If you love seafood you have to try this restaurant. The menu is full of different types of seafood along with platters offering a mixture of items. Both our meals, including appetizer were delicious.
We return soon and tell our friends that this is a MUST visit restaurant.
Thank you “The Boathouse” for a wonderful Valentines dinner.
See you again soon.
I don’t care what people say, the food here is terrible. It’s over priced and you pay for the view. DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY!!!
Absolutely beautiful view of Naples Bay! the Sunday brunch was excellent and the service was very attentive and great. Will go back for dinner within the next few weeks. A great way to spend Valentine's Day.
Beautiful location. Sunday brunch menu could be more diverse
My husband and I came here for the first time to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Our server, Nadia, was extremely kind and knowledgeable about the menu. She made recommendations that did not disappoint! Her service was friendly, as if she was an old friend. We had a quiet spot outside on the bay and it was very beautiful. The food was delicious and it’s safe to say this is a new favorite spot for us.
Considering it was Valentines Day the crowd was as expected and the food and service better. At the last minute we were able to get a reservation for Valentines Day. With strong reviews and never having been there off we went. When getting out of our car to valet there were other patrons leaving and I engaged them and asked how was it? Unanimously everyone was smiling and exclaiming how good it was. Well, needless to say what a good start. We entered and within 10 minutes we were seated in a extremely busy atmosphere. We had appetizers, entrees and desert and it was all delicious. Being at night the bay vista was light filled and looking forward to visiting many more times. Great find! Thanks Boathouse!!!
We dined here for Valentine's Day. The waiter was friendly and attentive. Food was flavorful and portions were generous. My crabcakes were probably the best I've ever had. I would order them again. The atmosphere was casual and the noise level from conversations was a loud hum - you could still carry on a conversation at normal voice level but there was no music to blend the conversations from the other tables into the background. Overall we had a nice experience. We will return during the day when we can enjoy the view.
Delayed seating as waited 30 minutes beyond reservation.
Nice outdoor ambiance. Good server.
Disappointed . Worst table next to rest rooms corner not romantic at all for Valentines Day. Partners soup lobster bisque was so skimpy for price . 4 nice size shrimp as my app but pricy . Partners dinner Norwalk seafood was good & plentifully.
I had NY Strip steak & this is why we went there new grass fed beef as I’m not a seafood person was thin and very chewy . Way over priced. Mentioned to server & he said yes there beef is a new grass fed beef . “Wow “ it was not at all tender. He offered a dessert but we declined . Not sure if it was because it was the day before Valentine’s but just not up to par . Love the view under normal times by the h20 or even outside but not sure we’ll be back too soon.
