   Very good food, had Calamari, Crab and Lobster Ravioli and New York steak which was very tasty. Service was a little slow, didn't really see the waiter after the food was served, no refills on drinks. Found the level of service odd seeing it was a very quiet night in the restaurant, very few people dining. Overall a very good experience, food, view and ambiance.

   It was a great experience and a nice surprise birthday treat to celebrate . Eggs Benedict were very good , potatoes and French fries were the best we have ever had . Lattes were lukewarm warm . The patio area is well heated in fact it got too hot so heaters were turned off . Great view of the beach and passersby . Definitely worth coming back for brunch.

   My husband had a very similar plate and I wasn't given any sauces. They didn't give much veggies. Instead of 4 asparagus I had two skinny ones. Our plates didn't look athletically pleasing. The veg was quite a small amount. And my son had a hard time with the noise level it was pretty loud and we don't have ASD like he does. And the heater was blaring on us it was super and uncomfortable. We did complain about it but they blasted it again the last half of our dinner. They couldn't put us at a different table if they wanted to increase the heat like that.

   We chose to take our parents out for a nice early dinner and decided on the Kits Boathouse. Two out of our four plates were for to perfection, the other two were over cooked. I asked for the bill privately and when I provided my Visa I forgot and was was not asked by the waitress, if I had my Laudry’s Member card. Well on our way home, my wife asked if I had used our membership card We returned on Sunday with my Members card and bill in hand only to be questioned if it was my card, then advised there was nothing they could do but please contact the Customer Service. For a restaurant like the Boat House should be about their Customers first. My family is a long supporting client of the Boat House and it will be a while before we attend again.

   We enjoyed the location. Parking was readily available near by the Boathouse. Server was excellent as well as food quality. Menu had many options to consider too.

   Made a reservation on here for valentines and they even called to confirm a week prior, but when we got to the restaurant they couldn’t find it. Thankfully it wasn’t completely booked and they still were able to seat us.

   We went here for Valentine’s Day. Awful idea. Felt like a cafeteria super noisy crammed into a random tiny table. Food was super overcooked and underwhelming. Ended up barely eating any of it. The server was the only positive part of the experience. The location is also nice but from our table you couldn’t really enjoy it. Food was super expensive. Won’t be returning here

    We did the sweetheart 3-course meal. They held our reserved table, which was much appreciated since we were running behind due to heavy traffic and just unfamiliarity with the area. Noise level was pretty quiet when we first arrived, but it seemed to be getting slightly louder as we were leaving around the later dinner rush. Food was brought out at a good pace and each dish was hot! Seasoning could have been a bit more, but I thought the lobster bisque and lava cake were scrumptious. I left full and content, would come back again. Oh and parking was super easy!!
