Not the best experience. No one was at the front for 15 minutes. Lots of open tables but even with a reservation our table was not ready. Music was too loud, hard to have a normal conversation. Seating by the window for our anniversary was nice but they placed us next to a surprise birthday party table that was also very loud. Food was very good and the waitress also gave us very good service.

Service was good. Food was very slow to come out. The food is not as good as the other Boathouse locations, just ok in our opinion.

My wife and I had another nice evening and good meals while dining on the outside patio overlooking the river. No complaints, but on their chilled seafood tray they could subtract some of the mussels and add a few more shirmp. Otherwise all was well.

The service was disappointing, the food was good. It is overpriced for the quality of the service and the food grade.
