Normally we’ve had a good experience at the Boathouse but New Year’s Eve was not a good night. Our food took forever and we later found out two cooks quit during the night leaving several patrons waiting on food for long periods of time. They also ran out of “mashed potatoes” according to our waitress. I will say the waitresses handled the tough situation very well as several customers were not very happy. I think upper management should have gotten more involved and interacted with the customers and maybe even offered complimentary drinks or dessert.

The restaurant atmosphere was great! However, the shrimp was under cooked, the salad was dry and the lettuce was not cleaned. The meal was not good. Also, A toilet in the ladies room was broken. A patron used it not aware That it was broken I tried telling the manager and she WAS VERY rude to me. Not sure we will return. :/

Holiday dinner with my bible study group. Not crowded but service was very slow. Atmosphere was boring for the holidays. Food was overpriced and not great. Lobster tail was overcooked and tough. Food was not hot either. Had to ask for everything even refills on soda and tea. I have to say that the desserts were great. The fellowship was wonderful but overall restaurant was not great.

We looked forward to our night out, making reservations @ 5 to catch a concert @ 7. Plenty of time… we thought. Our waiter forgot to put in our order. Waited an hour after ordering to receive our meal, no time to eat our dessert. We understand these things happen but we were charged a lot of money for a rushed meal with soggy fries. Interesting, I never ordered fries but we were so rushed to make it to the concert I wasn’t going to waste more time waiting for the exchange. I believe the waiter must have been new and unexperienced. We all have to start somewhere. Hopefully with time and more experience, he may pay more attention to the details. There is great potential with this place but I was not impressed.
