                    We always love The Boathouse and go there basically every time we come to Disney World. We brought several people along for their first visit there, and they were very impressed. I usually get the burger, which is excellent, but tonight I tried the Pan Roasted Corvina, and it was exactly what I wanted tonight. So good.

                    We had a reservation for 8 people and they tried to put two small round tables together and squeeze us in. We asked for another small round table so we could sit comfortably and got it but they weren’t happy about it. The server was visibly annoyed. The guy refilling the drinks had terrible attitude and was very slow! We will not be going back! Spent way too much money there for the quality of the food!

                    Arrived within the time frame of the second reservation, I was immediately seated since the rest of my party had already arrived. The waiter was quick and eager to please, took my order for drinks and responded without hesitation for refills, the food was out quickly and delicious. This was my second time dining at The Boathouse. Needless to say but if I’m in Disney Springs again it will be my first choice again.

                    Noise level is subjective as we were outside on the dock, but inside can be very loud. That said, the fact they were able to get our party of 10 outside was great. We had a party of 10 and only 2 of us had ever been here and multiple positive comments were said about how the evening turned out. The Baked Alaska is monstrosity of desserts and should be charged with a felony for violating dessert laws. Menu says for 4 people, but that’s only if the 4 hadn’t eaten in 2 days prior. Out party of 10, couldn’t finish it.
