Nice atmosphere - we were there on a Tuesday night, so it wasn't that busy. However, our waitress was not attentive at all and seemed like she didn't want to be there. The only time she was congenial was when she brought the ticket. The food was so-so. We had the fried green tomatoes as an appetizer. These definitely were under-cooked, and the dipping sauce was a chipotle flavor, which was not good with these. We both had the fried catfish. It looked crispy, but it was not and lacked seasoning. We were looking for something new, but it will not be a repeat place for us. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $50–100 Food: 3 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 4
I don’t normally leave reviews and especially not bad reviews but this was the worst experience I have had with a restaurant from start to finish. Drove an hour after we saw their advertisement for margarita flights. We were told the wait was 45-60 minutes. At one hour we inquired about the list and were told we weren’t on the list. The hostess had clearly written our name down and even noted that we would be waiting outside. They said they would seat us right away. 15 minutes later we arrived at our table. We waited 20 minutes for a waitress and ordered 2 flights of margaritas and the rest of our party of 5 had tea and water. 10 minutes goes by and our tea and water arrive and no mention of the margaritas and the waitress leaves before taking our order. 10 more minutes goes by and the waitress comes to take our order and says the bar is backed up and she’s not sure when the margarita flights will come. 45 minutes later our food arrives. We had 1 appetizer and fish and chips. Every meal was room temperature but we were so hungry we ate it. Still no margaritas. Towards the end of the meal the waitress asks if we still want the drinks, yes we do. 15 minutes later she brings the wrong flight of margaritas and they too were room temperature and all watered down. The other flight of margaritas never came. From the time we got to The Boathouse until we paid the check, we were there 3 hours. It was the most disorganized, chaotic environment and not one staff member cared the least bit about whether we enjoyed our food, nothing! I can honestly say it was one of the worst experiences I have had in my entire adult life; I’m 58. I have no idea how the restaurant has scored a 4 in Google reviews but save yourself the time and money for a terrible experience and go anywhere else.

Nice location with good food only downfall is its relatively young wait staff. They seem to want to perform well but lack experience and curtousy. Food: 4 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 5
Not the best seafood I’ve had. Service was good. Overpriced for quality of food. Service Dine in Price per person $30–50
