    Nice local & upscale restaurant for the city of Winter Garden. Food was prepared well. The service was excellent. Good atmosphere. I had the Strip steak and it was one of the better steaks that I have had in a while. Be prepared to open your wallet. The prices for food & wine are on the high side. For a special occasion, it is worth it!

    My husband and I had an absolutely outstanding dining experience last night. From start to finish, everything was top-notch—the food, the service, and especially the wine pairing. Our server, Jeff, truly elevated the evening. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable and attentive, but he’s also a Certified Sommelier, which made our wine experience exceptional. We opted for the wine pairing to complement our meal, and I’m so glad we did. Every selection was perfectly matched, enhancing each course beautifully. The food itself was phenomenal—each dish expertly prepared with bold flavors and perfect execution. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in both quality and presentation. If you’re looking for a restaurant that delivers a flawless culinary experience, this is it. Amazing service, exquisite food, and a wine pairing you won’t regret. Highly recommend! 🍷

    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.

    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💜💜💜
