About the restaurant

Named by Richmond Magazine as one of the best destinations for seafood and outdoor dining in the Richmond area, The Boathouse restaurant and event spaces wed impeccable waterfront views with authentic, locally-sourced cuisine. From the classically Southern shrimp and grits featuring sausage from Surry, VA to pizza made with authentic Italian recipes, the menu is distinctive and, most importantly, delicious.

Food and service were good. Only complaint would be the simply prepared salmon. Tasty but portion too small. Maybe 5 oz salmon but very small scoop potatoes and maybe 4 asparagus. Light for $27 in my opinion.

The food was great. Katheryn, our server, was very nice and attentive. They had live music around 6p, which was okay but made it where we had to yell across the table and repeat ourselves to hear one another. Also, there is a lack of central A/C. There are fans on but you cannot feel them on the first floor. Definitely not enough on a mid-summer afternoon. We were very uncomfortable and perspired the entire time.
