                  Our dinner experience last night was great! Our waiter was excellent, friendly, and helpful! Our meal was so good! I had a garden salad and filet, my husband had the crab cake, and we shared their delicious Mac n cheese! We always dine here twice during the week+ that we are in Orlando.

                  Our recent visit to The Boathouse Restaurant was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the warm hospitality and genuine smiles from the staff. It’s clear that great care has been taken in training the team to treat every guest with respect and make them feel valued. The food was cooked to absolute perfection, with generous portions that satisfied both the palate and the appetite. Even the drinking water stood out. Our experience was refreshing and appreciated. These are details that speaks to the restaurant’s commitment to excellence. The ambiance and view were breathtaking, creating the perfect setting for a memorable meal. Our server, Chris, elevated the experience even further. He was engaging, professional, funny, and an absolute pleasure to interact with. His attention to detail and vibrant personality made our evening feel extra special. We crossed paths with several other staff members during our visit, and every single one of them left a positive impression. Their friendliness and professionalism contributed to an atmosphere that was both welcoming and friendly. Thank you to the entire team at The Boathouse for providing such an extraordinary experience. We will absolutely be returning and recommending you to family, friends and everyone we know.

                  Great experience, reservation was on time, food was excellent and service was very professional and attentive. Busy restaurant, full and a little noisy, but good. Took the Senior Citizen approach and ate early, the place was jammed when we finished. I recommend reservations at way in advance.
