We had the best meal and service. Our server Michael was fantastic and made our visit so much fun. Food was delicious - chicken sandwich and Mac and cheese were our favorites. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend!

The bar was a bit disappointing - avg drinks and $13 for a mocktail was too much! Saving grace are the mussels and frites. Huge mussels and oh so tasty. Should have skipped the lobster roll. Excellent staff.

Fabulous lunch. Prices of wines are unbelievable as with the whole of New York. Nothing at all under $60 then add tax and 20% service and its around £100 a bottle of ordinary wine! The Boathouse only adds a standard 15% service so all credit to them. The member of staff was really talkative and he was trying to be nice, but it was overpowering

The food was surprisingly good and the service was absolutely amazing. I love the way the arepitas are resented so I don’t have to choose one. The monkfish and short rib were also a nice surprise.
