                  The roasted sweet potato is so big we split between four of us as a side dish. I also order the filet mignon sliders, they never disappoint.

                  We booked a reservation for 7:00 pm, and we were not seated until 7:44 pm. Though it is understood the restaurant will be inevitably busy, it is expected that reservations made will be ready at the time requested. While the food and view were good, they were not worth the inattentive service and price of the meal.

                  This is a busy restaurant. Lots of clients but also lots of staff. Wonderful value for money. I can't imagine crab cakes any better than the had. When everything was five stars it's hard to add more. Don't go there if you don't like seafood. We didn't try the non seafood items but there is so much good seafood, if you don't like seafood, make room for those who love it. Fresh, generous quantity and perfectly prepared.

                  What a pleasant surprise. This was the first time visiting the Boathouse and we had a lovely evening. The service was excellent - our waiter was very attentive to our needs and we appreciated the visit by the restaurants managers making sure we were enjoying our experience. The food was very good. Everyone enjoyed their shrimp boil, tuna and grouper. We recommend stopping by!

                  Not too gimmicky but definitely has the Disney flair. A very nice restaurant but still a family restaurant welcoming kids. Good kids menu. The food and drinks are great. And the service is outstanding

                  Food was ok. Waitstaff was awesome! We waited almost an hour for our food to get to our table, but they were extremely busy, even at 9pm. We were seated at our reservation time. If you are looking for a quiet experience, this is not the place.

                  Sat to table late, then excessive wait for food, burnt steaks, and a missed dessert. Not impressive for price.

                  Food was good and service was exceptional. Unfortunately, it was so noisy, you couldn't have a conversation. Definitely not a place to hold a dinner meeting with clients.
