    Good experience overall. A little epensive for what you get. The creme brulee and apple crumble were disappointing at the end of the meal, but other than that, everything was good., Is it a place I would be eager to return to? Probably not. Would I go back if someone else suggested it? Sure.

    The Boathouse is always a great experience. The atmosphere is great, the restaurant is beautiful, all of the staff is friendly and attentive. The food was delicious. The cajun chips that came with my entree were over cooked, but other than that it was all great.

    Good deal for dinner before 6 pm of a 3 course meal very reasonably priced. Salad dressing is excellent; clam chowder pretty good; bread pudding for dessert is exceptional. Can be very loud if seated near the bar but there are other options hopefully open when you go. Our server Emma was excellent!

    This was our first visit to The Boathouse at Rockett’s Landing and we all were very impressed! The ambience was wonderful and our hostess seated us with a river view as requeated. Our server, Badan (sp?) was so attentive and polite. The food was great and I will definitely be back! Highly recommend!

    I had a thoroughly disappointing experience at The Boathouse. Despite its promising atmosphere and menu, the kitchen served subpar dishes, including overcooked meat (ordered a medium rare) and a burnt crème brûlée (imposible to eat) The service was equally lacking, with our server seeming overwhelmed and neglecting to clear dirty dishes or attend to our needs in a timely manner. To make matters worse, the wait between courses was excessively long. Overall, I will give it a rating of 1/5 stars, finding it to be overpriced for the poor quality received.
