    The special was a Flounder and it was one of the best fish dishes I’ve ever had! Went two nights in a row while visiting Richmond! Oysters were great too! Loved it!

    We were sat in a section that the bartender had. We only saw her once to take orders. 30 minutes later we needed drinks and were almost done with our food. She was apologetic and got us dessert I just would have preferred to have a server who wasn’t busy with bar.

    Overall, excellent experience. The food was good. The atmosphere was great. Our server was wonderful. Unfortunately, given the ratio of customers to servers the service was rather slow.

    I love the food at the boathouse but I’m alway’s underwhelmed by the service. Nice people but apparently, no leadership it’s sad how inept the waitstaff is. I’ll keep trying but it’s sad. I spent the same amount as a better place,like lemaire or bookbinders even the slightly better tobacco company, so inferior. I’ll come back eventually. Never been the same since before covid, sad.
