   Family Christmas Eve dinner with great variety of choices for their three fixed courses - all four of us enjoyed our selections! Festive decorations and great service! First time here and we really enjoyed it . Great location near the pier, which was all lit up for the holidays!

   Felt a bit blind sided by the $75 three course menu, the only one on offer. Should have been publicized more and we should have been made aware

   We have been to the Boathouse a few times and always had a good experience but last night was subpar. We took a client out and we and he were pretty disappointed. The server was nice but at the end of our 4 course meal we still had untensils, dishes and hot sauce, and glasses from our first course. The food came out at a good pace but the 2 tenderloins were tough, the crab was cold and flavourless. The lobster tail was very very small and we did mention this to the server and he did bring two more, so that was nice. We spent about $1100.00 and it just wasn’t near as good as we had hoped.

   Definitely a fantastic place. We've eaten here a few times. On this occasion, we were staying in Birch Bay, WA. Decided to go across the border for a nice meal. It was well worth it... They honored our reservation request for a booth by the window. We shared one calamari appetizer, a shareable brussels sprouts and mushrooms. I had the New York strip with garlic mash and veg. For dessert, we shared a lava cake. All was perfectly seasoned and tasted great... Service was excellent. We had a nice friendly waitperson who was attentive and didn't hover... Can't wait to go back again.

   Food was amazing. Vibe was amazing. Server!!! AMAZING! We actually tried to book at another location (our usual) but was limited and ended up here instead and what a pleasant surprise. The new drink/cocktail menu is sublime. Food was great - better than great. It was so hard to make up our minds but our server was so helpful. (Side note - a couple of people (different tables) needed mobility assistance and our server (same section) was the loveliest and so helpful - some of the most inclusive behaviour I have EVER seen!). And if you have room for dessert - you won't be disappointed. Best experience at a Boathouse yet!

   I've posted my full review with Landry's (the parent company) at their request. Unfortunately I don't have it saved nor can I locate it as I sent it through their internal review program. In a nutshell, our meal was 50/50 for our party of 6 liking vs disliking. It felt very overpriced compared to similar restaurants in the area. The service was an absolute gong show. I learned it was a new server which would explain alot. I'm pretty sure it was 30 minutes by the time we sat down to when I actually was served my first drink - a plain and simple beer. The billing experience was a mess and took well over 15 minutes to sort out a $300 gift card to pay for a $300 meal plus tip. In the end, I just wanted to get the heck out of there, run away, and never come back. The overall vibe and decor of the 2nd floor where we sat was excellent. It was full and a nice overall atmosphere. It's a beautiful view looking out onto the water (near the window seats). While it's probably not the norm for service, but it was enough to have me avoid coming back other than for rooftop patio drinks on a hot summer day.
