Great for scenic views
Good for special occasions
Neighborhood gem

The waterfront ambiance of the Boathouse on Naples Bay is as enticing as the food and at the heart of Naples’ history. Spectacular views, great food, friendly seasoned staff, and a very relaxed attitude.

Are waiter was fine. Not outstanding by any means. The food was just OK. I had blackened salmon on salad and it was too heavy on the spices. My friend really enjoyed her clam melt and her brother really enjoyed his grouper sandwich. The bread is stale and we were at lunch the other day with a group of ladies and the bread was stale. Thank you very much.

We historically love The Boathouse and go several times each season but last night’s experience was a bit disappointing. First, we had an outdoor reservation but were seated indoors without any notice, apology, etc. The host ran away before I could even say anything because my elderly parents were in between the host and me. Second, we were seated two on each side of a square table which was awkward because there was too much space been each side. Third, the house salad was uninspiring and looked like “bag salad.” Fourth, the bread came out long after our salads, Fifth, the prime rib was excellent but the baked potato was cold. Lastly, I’m not too keen on the new a la carte menu pricing strategy but at least the side we’re reasonably priced. We plan to go back but I sure hope outdoor (vs indoor) reservations are honored in the future.

We thought it was under staffed and overpriced. Had to ask for things multiple times and never got the items. Very disappointing.

I got the grouper combo with fried shrimp and crabcake. It was delicious. My wife got the trigger fish with jerk seasoning. It was not spicy at all. It was very good. The only issue I had was our drinks were subpar. I had the worst old-fashioned I’ve ever had. They made it with crushed ice and put maraschino cherries in it. It tasted like watered down flat cola. My wife’s spicy margarita was not much better.

Sorry to report that they increased their prices and now charge extra for a side and salad. They want to capitalize on the snowbirds at the expense of everyone else. We were there in September and the staff was begging us to come back more often since business was so bad. Our dinners in September cost $78 and last night we paid $109 for the same meal with a lesser portion. Sorry to say that we won’t be back.

Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your experience. We did make the change to A La Cart sides, but in refection to that we have lowered the price of all menu items and lowered the price of the sides from $5 to $3. We appreciate you dining with us and please leave your email so we can send a coupon if you do choose to visit again.
