    We arrived at the opening hour, but it only stayed quiet for about a half hour, because it’s a popular place. It’s a little pricey, but the food is excellent and the service is very friendly and efficient. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    A hidden gem! Romantic and beautiful views! Loved our pastas we got and the service was great! Romantic ambiance inside very cozy and outside views can’t be beat! Recommendation for restaurant owner is to clean the windows. If spotless the views inside can be amazing too but with a dirty window it blocks the amazing view.

    We ate here in the winter when the sun sets before dinner. It wasn’t busy at all which was surprising because food, service, and drinks were amazing. Highly recommend this place.

    The food was superb. The service was excellent. We could have a conversation as a whole group because the restaurant was not loud.

    Well, the service was top-notch. The food was lackluster, dry stuffing and chopped turkey parts not exactly my ideal of high end they might want to think about stepping up their menu.

    A hidden gem ❣️✨ The location is so perfect, tucked away and private feeling, the food was cooked to perfection and our server Ally was so wonderful!!! Just the right mix of attention, pleasantness and care - the epitome of what a server should be. We loved the range of options that your restaurant provides - from drinks and appetizers, to burgers, to perfectly prepared surf and turf and a celebratory five course dinner- this will meet your needs. The elegant interior sets a beautiful ambiance, the porch gave us the perfect beginning for drinks and appetizers with a God given beautiful sunny evening and out on the water just can’t be beat! So glad that I decided to have my celebration at The Boathouse ✨💝

    We went for happy hour and came back for dinner. The service is very friendly and the food is amazing. We had the shrimp appetizer in a goat cheese sauce that was delicious. Then we ordered the Salmon and it was a wonderful large piece that was really good. I would go back next time we are in SLT. The view is amazing. Thank you for a very memorable evening.
