    We enjoyed Christmas lunch at the Boathouse on Kits Beach. There were a lot of good choices, both meat and fish and not just the traditional turkey. Definitely would recommend and return. Food and service were great.

    We all had a great time. Our server Mary was so friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The food all came out in a timely manner for our group of 23 and the place had enough background noise to seem busy but wasn't overly loud so we didn't have to shout over the noise to converse with our dinner guests. The view was great and the food was also excellent.

    Everything was fantastic, docked points due to their not being any access for people with disabilities. Walking a block in the pouring rain with my canes was horrible. I called and asked before booking and was told there was parking, but should have been warned it was a long way from the restaurant.
