    The blackened chicken is a must, slightly saltier this time than usual. However, definitely still an all time favourite.

    Wonderful service. Prompt and professional. The food was excellent and perfectly prepared as ordered. Our family of four were completely satiated and absolutely delighted by the surprise birthday dessert received. All in all, a very enjoyable experience and highly recommended.

    We had the most amazing brunch today. I had the chicken and waffles which were so good. I’m seriously going to dream about them. My partner had the crabcakes Benny and he said they were delicious. The service was exceptional, from the hostess to the server & bar staff, everyone was friendly & we felt so welcome! The restaurant is lovely, and warm and very clean! We can’t wait to go back and try the dinner menu!

    This was a last-minute reservation to check out the NY Polar Bear Swim at Kits Beach! Since my mom had never seen one, nor visited this boathouse location, I thought we should come and see if we’d get lucky with front-row seats—and yes, the Boathouse delivered! We were ushered to window seats facing Kits Beach in a nice, heated space. We loved our server Lauren’s recommendations and thoroughly enjoyed the oyster sampler from PEI. My mom also loved the Monte Cristo. We then shared the bruschetta board, tuna tacos, and delicious mussels! Lauren’s warm smile and outstanding service made our meal even more enjoyable. My mom especially appreciated her attentiveness in ensuring plenty of hot water—a must for older Asian ladies, lol. Overall, this was a great lunch spot, and we look forward to visiting again!
