Had an excellent meal here with a lovely view of the bay. Crab and corn chowder was delish as was the tuna entree. Excellent service. Would recommend to anyone. BYOB. Very romantic, but also great for a family.

We were seated right at the edge of the dining room, closest to the bay. It was sunset, enough said. Everyone was jealous and several people came over to take pictures. It was just beautiful. Service was great. Food just okay but the view made it our favorite meal. Definitely a great shore experience.

Boat house restaurant is a break frome the Friedcation. The clam chowder was good and had a little kick. We were with 4 families and they accommodated us nicely with a long table on the outside patio. We managed to order many things from the menu. All items were good and fresh. If you like crab cakes, the boat house... More

A 45 minute wait to secure a table somewhat raised my expectations. However, as is typical of most US eateries, the vegetarian choice was limited.....to a salad or a "crab-less" cake. My fellow dinners were impressed by the generous starters and lobster main whereas when I had to ask for tomato ketchup to flavour my main I knew it was... More

First of all, it's BYOB. It would have been helpful to have that noted on the website. One of our party made an "emergency" run before we ordered and It was quite pleasant looking over the bay while we waited for him to come back. Food was ok, not bad but not great although one of our party had the... More

This is a great bayfront BYOB. We were lucky enough to score a waterfront table at sunset for our "girls night" out. Service was pleasant. The blue crab nachos were awesome and the Island Duet (rum seared scallops and coconut shrimp w fruit salsa and black beans - YUM!
