   The boathouse is a great location that has fallen into a bit of disrepair. Menu was limited, food a bit over seasoned but good. Quite expensive. You’re paying for the convenience of the location at the hotel I suppose. Evening service was good. Breakfast was less than good. Seemed they over burdened the servers.

   One of my guest was a vegan and sent her selection back. It was one of her favorite vegan dishes but wasn’t cooked properly. One of my guest and I had the traditional Thanksgiving turkey it was cold, We sent it back and it was returned slightly warmer. It was good when i warmed it at home but cold turkey and mashed potatoes was difficult to try to eat. Others who had Fish and chips raved about it.

   My friend and I had a very nice experience at The Boathouse. Staff was friendly and exceptional in serving us from the word "go." We also really enjoyed the relaxed and beautiful ambience on the outdoor patio facing the ocean. Neither of us were as hungry as we could have been and we didn't order very much food. My salad was exceptionally fresh and my friend's steak was done to his liking, which he enjoyed very much.
