We are there for the first time on 1/3/26 and I meant to leave this review much sooner. I do not remember all the dishes, but I will say that the taste was unforgettable. What an outstanding meal. Everything was perfectly prepared and exquisitely presented. We sat at the bar and the bartenders were friendly and welcoming. The drinks were well crafted. It is well worth the money. And reservations ahead of time for a table (or even a seat at the bar) are a must.

Review is for The Boiler Room @ The Station or right next to the Station. Food quality and taste were excellent. The ambience is quaint although on the small side. The service was very good. The price can be expensive when adding in any bar drinks or glasses of wine. Excluding alcohol, the food price is comparable to a high end restaurant. I knew this going in and wasn’t sure what to expect with food taste and quality. Both were excellent and price worthy. It could be $10 dollars or so cheaper but I would definitely go again. We ate the scallops for one dinner and the filet mignon for second dinner. Apps was crab salad and homemade focaccia bread. The crab salad was good but is served cold. For me I like hot crab cakes. It makes sense to serve their crab salad cold bc it is a salad. The focaccia bread was great. 4 big pieces for 2 people to share or for 4 people to each have one.

I had the pleasure of dining at The Boiler Room, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the tone for the evening.
The staff were attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and made excellent recommendations.
Now, the food—simply incredible! I tried halibut and the shrimp pasta which was perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. Every bite felt like a celebration of culinary artistry.
The ambiance was also top-notch, whether it’s the tasteful décor, ambient lighting, or great background music. It was the perfect spot for a romantic date, family dinner, or celebration
I can’t wait to return and try more of their offerings. Highly recommend the boiler room to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience!

Everything I try here I fall in love with. The first time I came I got the tuna tacos which were light and delicious. I also got the hot dates which are like a flavor blast in your mouth which I ordered again the second time I came. Chef also came out to introduce himself and make sure everything tasted good.
The second time I ordered the filet which was perfectly done and tender. I’ll be coming a third time this week because I can’t shut up about it. Ambience and outdoor seating is also a 10/10. Friendly and competent wait staff 10/10.

Definitely worth a second look. We stopped in after dinner somewhere else for drinks and dessert. The bartender was absolutely outstanding and a classic expert mixology. That was very welcomed and appreciated. The desserts were very good and we look forward to coming back to check out the rest of the menu some other night. It is a bit tight and we were thankful that it wasn’t crowded. So just keep that in mind that it is on the smaller side. The courtyard is amazing and I’m sure when it’s not a hot summer night it will be an amazing place too. Spend some time with others that you want to hang out with. So definitely in a wait and see mode. Check it out for yourself and take a look at the menu. The items on the menu look and sound fantastic so we’ll have to check it out and I’ll add to this review later.

We came in for a Mother’s Day lunch with a 2:00pm reservation and were seated right on time. The space had a nice, relaxed vibe and our server greeted us quickly with water and came back shortly after for drink orders. She was incredibly sweet, which we appreciated.
That said, the timing of everything felt a bit off. While the restaurant wasn’t particularly busy—most tables were already eating or almost finished eating when we arrived—we ended up waiting about 45 minutes for our food. We ordered around 2:15, just two casual lunch items: the cheeseburger and the chicken sandwich. Our server did stop by around 2:45 to say it shouldn’t be much longer, but at that point it was already 30 minutes since placing the order and then the food still didn’t arrive until just about 3:00. Since we were ordering lunch-style meals and there were only two breakfast-style appetizers available at the time (like cinnamon rolls), we hadn’t gotten anything else to snack on while waiting. By the time our meals arrived, we were pretty hungry.
One thing that added to the awkward timing was that while we were still waiting for our food, every other table around us had finished, left, and been reset. It was a little uncomfortable and made the long wait feel even more noticeable.
Another small note—when I asked about the market price oysters, the server wasn’t sure and guessed they were around $47 for a dozen based on what she remembered from a different day. That seemed unusually high and also was not a confirmed price. If something is listed as market price, I think it’s reasonable to expect the staff to know that information each day.
Despite the long wait, the food was genuinely good, and we enjoyed the meal once it finally arrived. With some improvement in pacing and menu awareness, this could be a really great spot!

This place is amazing, we started off with the dates which I didn’t think I was going to like, but my girlfriend convinced me and it was delicious. The ravioli and steak were fantastic, but the lobster ceviche took the cake for my favorite dish of the night. Again, wasn’t expecting to like it but it was absolutely savory.
One problem I always find with restaurants is pretty simple, my water is never filled. The wait staff here is quite the opposite and attentive. My water didn’t go dry once which I appreciate.

We came here for a date night and it did not disappoint! The atmosphere was very nice and the service was top notch. The staff were so nice and checked on us frequently. The food and drinks were excellent. I had a raspberry lemon drop martini that was a great balance of sweet and strong. The shrimp cocktail came with 5 jumbo shrimps, the filet was cooked perfectly, and the homemade Mac and cheese was a great additional appetizer. For desert we had the Affogato, which is vanilla ice cream with hot espresso poured on top. It was so good and is now a new favorite (I wish I took a picture!)! I highly recommend this restaurant for a date night or special occasion/celebration!
