We had a reservation for 4pm since we were bringing our baby, but as 4pm drew closer, we realized we weren’t going to be able to make it. I called the restaurant and they were able to change my reservation last minute to 4:30! Super helpful. They sat us quickly in a perfect corner booth seat. Service and food were great! Our waitress was attentive and so kind to our little baby. Made for a lovely dining experience!

We went following a Saturday matinee. Perfect atmosphere for us. Felt low key, comfortable and like a genuine neighborhood place. Food and service were both excellent. Menu is well rounded and offers choices for everyone. Don’t think twice.

Burger was delicious. Crab cake is full of fresh crab, but could use a little more of the sauce. The slaw served with it is very good too. However, I think the crab cake the boathouse used to have was better. Appreciated the complimentary plate of veggies to start. Offering some bread would be nice too.
