                    Unfortunately we never got to eat at the boathouse. I had to grade the food but did not have any. We had a reservation for 8.45. Got there early hoping to get in early. Unable to accommodate we went outside to the bar on the water. We had a couple of drinks and waited. At 8.55 we had not got a text so I went to the front to check. I was told another 15 minutes or so. At that point the women we hungry so we 91decided to leave. Maybe next time.

                    A little disappointed with the service at this establishment. It feels like service standards are slipping everywhere these days, but here it was especially noticeable. Our server wasn’t friendly — she seemed bothered to be there and disappeared for long periods. Service was slow, and she lacked basic serving skills: fingers inside the glasses when bringing drinks, serving me before my wife, not checking in to see if we enjoyed our entrees, and not even knowing how to properly pour a beer. Pretty sad experience overall.

                    The oysters are delicious. The lobster roll is my husband’s favorite and my favorite is the Yellowfin tuna poke. First time trying the whipped edamame appetizer. It did not disappoint. Staff and server were fabulous.

                    We sat outside so we were able to talk and hear each other perfectly. We went at 7pm so the sunrise was beautiful and even got to catch the fireworks! Great experience and service.
