    It's a season of party and gratitude. I had my birthday party here in August. This was the third time that I dined at boat house. The spicy jumbo lump crab & avocado cocktail was so fresh. The faroe island salmon and Bronzino accompanied by Sancerre were fantastic. We were so lucky to sit by the window and have enjoyed a snow lake view with plenty of sunshine. The restaurant was filled with a warmth of family and holiday mood.
