    We celebrated Thanksgiving day for the fourth year with you all. I would like to see beef tenderloin, and ham options added back to your menu. The salmon and shrimp were nice but for people who don’t eat fish or seafood it only left turkey. The service was excellent, and the staff, as always was very pleasant. Dessert selection was great, but it would be nice if the vanilla ice cream was available for the pecan pie as well as the apple pie dish.

    Every aspect of our first visit to the Boathouse at Rockettes Landing was amazing! The hostess, waitress very helpful, positive and professional. VERY impressed with getting a cordial visit from the manger to our table - that was awesome - talk about making customers feel welcome! 5 STAR all around. LOVED the raw oysters and will definitely be back for the Happy Hour $1.00 oysters - great deal! Had the fish and chips - delicious, well seasoned and NOT oily - thank you! We'll definitely be back. Not to say anything negative about other Boathouse locations but we've been to the ones at Short Pump and Sunday Park and they were not nearly as good as the Rockette's Landing restaurant!! You picked the right manager, chef and staff!

    Great ambience, location and food. We had the mussels, clams, crab cakes and Shrimp Tacos. Everything was delicious. Didn’t like the chips though - oily and some weird taste.
