    We always have great service and great food at the Port Moody Boathouse. It's wonderful if you want to visit and talk with friends. It's not loud like pubs and very relaxing. Whenever I get together with friends we always reserve at this particular Boathouse. The view is beautiful as well. Our server was also perfect. He came to the table when needed and didn't make a nuisance of himself like some restaurants. He was charming and professional as well.
