    This continues to be one of our favorite restaurants in the United States. It is consistently a great dining experience. We travel to Orlando every year just to spend a night at Boathouse. That’s how good this place is. Make your reservation in advance, or prepare for a long wait - but it’s worth it!

    Our waiter was fantastic and quick to take our order and bring out our food. Prior to that, we waited 20 minutes in a long line just to check in with our reservation. The hostess said it would be a 30 minute wait so we went to the bar for drinks and appetizers. Our bartender was quick with our drinks and food but 10 minutes later we got a text that our table was ready. We brought our drinks and appetizers over to the hostess stand only to have to wait another 20 minutes juggling drinks and appetizers while waiting for a table. They need a better system for seating guests. We’ve ate here many times and have never experienced this, even during the week of Christmas. Our steak and shrimp boil was fantastic. They also have the best sticky buns. No piano player. So this experience was not that great.

    The host managing menus/tickets was difficult and not good at communication. We checked in 10 minutes early for our reservation with the more pleasant hostess and then waited 40 minutes to be seated in spite of checking in repeatedly with the other hostess managing reservation ticket order. We were told twice we’re “up next” which was not the case until our third trip to the host stand.
