   Great experience. We had 1:00 reservations, and when we arrive, we were seated immediately. At a table overlooking the lake. Service and food was superb. Can’t wait to go back.

   We had a wonderful lunch at the Boathouse. Great tall top table by bar with a beautiful view of the (frozen) lake on a sunny day. Our waiter, Sonny, was so pleasant and upbeat. Great service. Fun outing!

   Brunch at The Boathouse in Central Park was an absolute delight! Overlooking the serene Serpentine Lake, the view was nothing short of breathtaking—an oasis of calm right in the heart of the city. The impeccable service made the experience even more special, with attentive and friendly staff ensuring everything was just right. The food was delicious, perfectly complementing the elegant setting. From fresh pastries to perfectly cooked eggs and flavorful entrées, every bite was a treat. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful morning escape or a special occasion brunch, The Boathouse is a must-visit. Highly recommend!

   De bediening was niet zo vriendelijk. Eten lekker maar niet speciaal.

   Great view! Wonderful setting with AMAZING light, even in the midst of Winter. Superb food - spinach salad, oysters Rockefeller, and a HUGE crab cake full of delicious lump crab meat! The Boat House is not to be missed!

   Heating was very high and next to the glass although view was great it was very hot and too bright. Some blinds would be great just to give a bit of shade. That’s said food and service was 1st class.

   Enjoyed the scallop/pomegranite special and crab cake. Perfection! Lovely meld of flavors. Hubby really enjoyed his JUICY, flavorful burger. Topped it off with delicious creme brûlée. Irish Coffee needed a little more HEAT. VIEW was spectacular with the rain falling on the ice. First time to New York from Dallas TX and this was a top Fiver!
