    Some people we know were saying the Boathouse wasn't the same as pre-Ian so we had to see for ourselves. We went on a Wednesday. Our server Danielle was attentive; explained specials & prompt with our drinks. Our entrees were timely, HOT& delicious. The portions were/ are generous. No one rushed us. A delightful anniversary dinner.

    Our server, Mark, was great. The hostess was a bit rude when we first walked in and then sat us at a dirty table that had wet silverware and cups drying on it…. We were perfectly on time for our reservation so you would think they’d be prepared to seat us. The oysters were not great but everyone loved their entrees. The prices were a bit high for how small the portions were though. It was fine for what we were looking for but we probably wouldn’t go back.

    I reserved a table at the Boathouse for 5:00p on 11/25/23. I kept my reservation and had a fairly decent meal for 2. Boathouse chose to inform OpenTable that I did not honor my reservation. Have receipts to prove otherwise. I have been a user of Open Table for 16 years and have NEVER not honored a reservation. I am offended by this accusation by the Boathouse and subsequent communication from OpenTable.

    The Boathouse on Naples BayResponded 6 days ago

    We apologize for the misunderstanding. We will be sure to let Open Table know that you did attend your reservation that night. Sorry for the accident!

    The food was mediocre at best. Our daughter ordered the shrimp platter and they forgot her shrimp cocktail. The table ordered 2 pieces of pumpkin pie for over $9 each and the were the smallest slivers of pie. The thanksgiving turkey dinner was awful.

    Been here monthly for a long time. Took guests. Unfortunately my meal (Fried Seafood Platter) was overcooked, especially the Flounder and Scallops. Chef should see it and redo it! The noise is always bad and there probably is no solution! Great view and this was our first BAD meal!

    We visited Naples November 11-19. We dined at The Boathouse Restaurant four separate times. Each time the meals were perfect. On the 17th. Margarita was out server. She did an impeccable job.

    Rain was impending so we dined indoors. Saw a dolphin diving by pier; entertaining. Had 5 pm reservation. Plenty of seating. Server was brusk, rambled through the favs at 90 mph. He forgot to bring fries with dinner entree (twice). Had to ask another server for this. He also forgot salad for family member along with us which she declined since already through most of her dinner. The waiter joked about bringing her salad as the evening went along. While the food was very good (I had the blackened grouper), I was not impressed with our waiter. If we return there, we’ll not want him again.

    We sat outside as it was a beautiful night but we were seated under the big screen TV which was very bright although muted. On the other Side was we think the ice machine with very noisy clanging and banging. It had started To rain so we did not ask to be moved because we were under cover. Fun evening with good food though
