Everything was great. We had a couple cocktails. I had the filet mignon and my husband had the crabcake. We then decided to get the dessert that had some chocolate and whipped cream, but I don’t remember the name of it. Everything was delicious and our server was super nice

We had our Thanksgiving lunch at Boathouse. We loved being able to order off of the menu unlike other restaurants that charged super high prices for a Thanksgiving buffet only. Having a vegan daughter with food restrictions she was able to order delicious food off of the menu instead of us paying $75 -$125 per person elsewhere for her to eat rolls and potatoes. My son and I had the Thanksgiving special which was delicious!!! My husband had a seafood mix that consisted of lobster tails, scallops and shrimp. Also delicious as we shared our meals. Jocelyn was our server and she was incredibly kind and knowledgeable. The wait time on our meals was minimal. Everything came out hot and so good. Having never been to Boathouse due to us being in town for the holiday we were Very Very pleased with everything about our experience. Boathouse will Definitely be on our itinerary the next time we are in IOP.
