    Great waitress. A little disappointed in the sautéd perch. It was definitely more fried & the Broccolini was very hard to cut. Nice restaurant. Pizza was great & so was the steak dinner.

    Wonderful view of the sunset right on the water. Servers were very friendly and service was fast. Wish my mule had been in a copper mug, but otherwise perfect. Food was hot and tasty- what more could you want? Salmon was maybe a bit overpriced IMO, but nicely done. We will absolutely be back for the fall menu!

    The Boathouse is a great experience. Beautiful views of the lake, great food. We had their pizza for the second time. Pepperoni pizza was great and my wife had the Hawaiian pizza and loved it.

    Very uncomfortable restaurant. I think they would rather be a bar instead of a restaurant. Loud blaring music during brunch on a Sunday. Uncomfortable chairs. Very minimalist in decor which translates to cheap in this case. Very limited menu and they are no longer serving two items on the menu! Time to go out of business and give someone else a crack at it.

    Reservations were at 5:30 and they were out of fish & chips. Even our waitress was surprised. Also out of butter. Really. Ordered swordfish. Never seen swordfish served only 1" thick about a 4 oz piece. The Brussel sprout salad was cut not chopped or shredded raw and very hard to eat. Also forgot to put dressing on it. Service was super slow. The best part was our server, she was fantastic.
