                  We have been to the Boathouse many times, and loved it. It was the one restaurant we made sure to have time in our schedule for and was the first reservation we made. If last night was our first visit, we would never go back. The service was beyond slow. Drinks took forever. Had to ask for bread multiple times. Dirty bread plates on the table, and it was so loud, it made it impossible to have a conversation. On a positive note, the food was great.

                  Service was great! Food was fine. View from the deck was beautiful! But the bugs at sunset really ruined the vibe.

                  Have been finishing it very difficult to find food that is not deep fried or covered in cheese or sweets sticky stuff or accompanied with fries…… and fast food - Disney Springs is awash with fast food junk. The Tuna and Corvina at the Boathouse were absolutely amazing. My daughter needs gluten free and the team were superb at talking through the options. We have a super view of the lake from our outdoor seats. Very highly recommended unless you want junk food :-)

                  Rebecca, our waitress was wonderful. Our water glasses were never empty. She checked back often. The food was delicious as always. The honey rolls and great service will always have us coming back.

                  Food was poor very expensive and small portions. More a lunch place than a supper location. Great scenery, great service, but quality of food wasn’t great. Had a better meal at rainforest cafe. Sad to say it was very expensive for what you get
