   I really like this. I believe is a must if you come to New York. The food is really great the the service on the table too. The only thing that I didn’t like was when we arrived to the restaurant. They had a closed sign a we were waiting there but they opened a different door and no one told us where to go. Another customer gave us the tip to use the side door

   Great atmosphere and feel, but also a really appealing menu. Everything we had was excellent. Yes, it’s a bit pricey, but you get a truly lovely and classic NYC location and very fine food.

   Beautiful place and very good service. Unfortunately the food is not great. Not so flavorful and everything made with tons of oil, the roasted veggies I ordered were soaking in oil. Even if you really want you can’t eat healthy there. It’s a pity.

   Great experience. We had 1:00 reservations, and when we arrive, we were seated immediately. At a table overlooking the lake. Service and food was superb. Can’t wait to go back.

   We had a wonderful lunch at the Boathouse. Great tall top table by bar with a beautiful view of the (frozen) lake on a sunny day. Our waiter, Sonny, was so pleasant and upbeat. Great service. Fun outing!

   Brunch at The Boathouse in Central Park was an absolute delight! Overlooking the serene Serpentine Lake, the view was nothing short of breathtaking—an oasis of calm right in the heart of the city. The impeccable service made the experience even more special, with attentive and friendly staff ensuring everything was just right. The food was delicious, perfectly complementing the elegant setting. From fresh pastries to perfectly cooked eggs and flavorful entrées, every bite was a treat. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful morning escape or a special occasion brunch, The Boathouse is a must-visit. Highly recommend!

   De bediening was niet zo vriendelijk. Eten lekker maar niet speciaal.

   Great view! Wonderful setting with AMAZING light, even in the midst of Winter. Superb food - spinach salad, oysters Rockefeller, and a HUGE crab cake full of delicious lump crab meat! The Boat House is not to be missed!

    Heating was very high and next to the glass although view was great it was very hot and too bright. Some blinds would be great just to give a bit of shade. That’s said food and service was 1st class.
