    Amazing experience. This was our 1st time there. Early Valentine’s Day date with my wife. We sat upstairs inside & loved it. Our server, Misa, was fantastic & provided great recommendations. Everything was so delicious. It’s a bit pricey, but worth it for a special occasion. I would definitely return to try other dishes like the Chilean Sea Bass. We had the Spare Ribs as an appetizer & the Peking Duck for 2. Also ordered the Buri-Bop as both our hostess & server highly recommended. Thoroughly enjoyed everything. Brought leftovers home to our children & they also enjoyed it.

    Every year we meet friends here & enjoy a Spanish / Cuban meal in one of many rooms of this historic restaurant. There are three large parking lots, a gift shop and always a wait. Today we discovered that the restaurant is expanding and taking over the gift shop. The gift shop will be moving across the street. We always start with the sangria which Victoria prepared table side in a Spanish pitcher. The warm bread & 1905 salad is excellent. We shared 4 small devil crab croquettes, beef saltedo & we finished by sharing a warm white chocolate bread pudding. Portions were huge & prices reasonable. Our lunch was delicious. All four of us devoured our meals. We went next-door into the gift shop with a sell, their beautiful pottery, tiles, wine, cigars, cookbook, and ingredients

    Our waitress was fantastic but the kitchen was pretty slow. We were the first table there so it might have been an issue with getting the kitchen up and going but we waited about 35 min for our main courses. And it was just grilled fish. Food was fantastic though.

    Wonderful dining experience. We met the Manager, Scott who was the nicest, friendliest person who went above and beyond to make our dinner so very special. You see....we lost our precious daughter, Jenna 20 months ago. It was sudden and traumatic. The Boathouse and the Fillet Mignon sliders were here favorite. Her last birthday Orlando celebration in February 2023 was so special. We lost her suddenly in June 2023. We live on Long Island, we visit 3 to 4 times per year and T.J. has always taken care of us. Thank you to the staff at Tje Boathouse, T.J. and Scott for helping us through our grief at Jenna's favorite restaurant. You help to heal my heart! Sincerely, Jayne Hudson💜💜💜
