    Great location in the summer, pretty average in the off season. We had reservations and got seated promptly. Staff at the door were great. Service was pretty good. Drinks came quickly. Live music was unexpected and way too loud for dinner. Jambalaya....one of us though it was just okay, one of us didn't like it at all. We would go back but only in the summer on the deck.Table service was very good, attentive and friendly. Overall it was just an average pub experience.

    Spinach dip was mostly cream cheese. Spinach was lacking. The bacon cheeseburger was bland. Location and service was quite good.

    That was the second time we had heard that singer/guitarist who is talented but he turns every song into a sad love song.

    This was my first visit to The Boathouse. The food was great, and our server was very pleasant. We were meeting up with family, and the ambience was just perfect.

    Spinach dip is delish, the deep fried beans were also good. The fish & chips - the fish could use less batter, wasn't cooked all the way through, bit gummy, wouldn't order again. The flatbread had too much cheese.
