    Stephanie was wonderful. We loved our New Year's brunch at the Boatyard. Pit appetizers were perfect, and our main courses were delicious. As always, we had a great time.

    The service was a bit slow. The hostess when we arrived was so unconcerned and had us wait unnecessarily until I went back to check. The food was so sub par from the previous times we have visited from Texas. Will take this restaurant off our list of favorites when in town.
