    Our Christmas Day dinner was fabulous, starting with lobster bisque, followed by steak and lobster and then creme brule for dessert.

    Fantastic overall however our table felt a little cramped in (outside heated patio section). Food was amazing, my mother said it was the best clam chowder she has ever had. Service top notch. Would have been a perfect score if we had a better table. Will be back next year for christmas dinner as im done hosting!! Cheers

    When I booked a table, I didn’t book for a set menu. This should have been clarified. Once i reached I was told about the set menu & felt like I didn’t have a choice last minute to change my mind on a day like Christmas when not many restaurants were open.

    We enjoyed Christmas lunch at the Boathouse on Kits Beach. There were a lot of good choices, both meat and fish and not just the traditional turkey. Definitely would recommend and return. Food and service were great.

    We all had a great time. Our server Mary was so friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The food all came out in a timely manner for our group of 23 and the place had enough background noise to seem busy but wasn't overly loud so we didn't have to shout over the noise to converse with our dinner guests. The view was great and the food was also excellent.
