    We had a wonderful experience at Summer House. We checked in for our reservation and were seated in less than five minutes. Our waitress was super kind accommodating, always checking to refill our water and asking if we needed anything. Food was fantastic! I had the sangria and the Cobb salad, my daughter had the pizza and mu husband had the caesar salad with ahi tuna. All delicious!!! Generous portion sizes. I will definitely will be coming back. 10/10

    We had a bit of a wait after our reservation time but overall the experience was great! It was fun listening to the band and watching the tap dancers. The food was amazing and Tarin gave excellent service. We were celebrating my husband's birthday and they even brought him a complimentary dessert! Highly recommend!

    Our meal was prepared perfectly. Every single bite was delicious. I say this after having to wait more than an hour past our reservation time. It was worth the wait. We sat on the patio, waiter was quick and attentive. The bleu cheese bread was incredible. We thoroughly enjoyed our filets, asparagus and potatoes too.

    Wonderful dining experience. We met the Manager, Scott who was the nicest, friendliest person who went above and beyond to make our dinner so very special. You see....we lost our precious daughter, Jenna 20 months ago. It was sudden and traumatic. The Boathouse and the Fillet Mignon sliders were here favorite. Her last birthday Orlando celebration in February 2023 was so special. We lost her suddenly in June 2023. We live on Long Island, we visit 3 to 4 times per year and T.J. has always taken care of us. Thank you to the staff at Tje Boathouse, T.J. and Scott for helping us through our grief at Jenna's favorite restaurant. You help to heal my heart! Sincerely, Jayne Hudson💜💜💜
