Had a great dining experience here. The seafood pasta was perfectly done—tender fish, juicy scallops, and clams cooked just right, all sitting over al dente spaghetti in a rich, well-balanced tomato cream sauce. The garlic bread was toasted beautifully and paired perfectly with the dish.
You can tell care goes into both the presentation and the flavor. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, making it a great spot for a casual meal or a date. Solid food, great execution, and a place I’d definitely come back to.

Four stars overall because there wasn’t very many seafood items on the menu, maybe about 6 items only. We expected because it’s located by the water, that it would be mostly seafood, but since it wasn’t, we had some pizza, and it was a great choice. We said when we come back to this area, we’re gonna come back for sure for the brick oven pizzas. And the waitress was very nice, helpful, and a hard worker.

I just love this place. I went 1st time there and it was lovely, lakeside outdoor, breezy.
Service was great, food was awesome.
What else one can ask for.
Beautiful place for lunch dinner. Small get together ❤️

It’s a beautiful location, with a beautiful view, and great outdoor activities. I got the burger and mac n cheese. The burger was perfectly cooked with great flavors. The mac was significantly under seasoned. The mixed drink was underwhelming. I saw mine and a few other mixed drinks that weren’t finished. The tablecloths were also a nuisance; they were loose, and nearly came off the table when I stood up.
The host was also helping serve food, so more than one person was left waiting at the front to be seated. My waiter was also the bartender, which left either some waiting on drinks, or others waiting on food or service.
It’s a great location with a great opportunity to create something wonderful. They just need a better process so each person can focus on their assigned roles to provide a better experience.

Wonderful friendly fast service. Great view and great tasting food. My husband and I split the chunky dunk and grilled asparagus. Which was really really good. They make fresh brewed tea, which is really really good. I don’t even need to add sugar to it! We will definitely come here again.

I ordered the short rib and it was good no complaints. The best part was the friendly black cat ⬛

WOW! What a hidden gem. Extremely beautiful surroundings with outdoor activity areas and the absolute best view of the Delta. It’s located about 15 minutes away from Great Wolf Lodge. Definitely worth the drive. Gorgeous interior and the drinks are fantastic!!!!!! Very reasonable prices. I had the Philly and it was divine! My husband had the club and agreed with how delicious the food is. When you visit, make sure to get the warm pretzel with in house made fondue. OUTSTANDING service also! One of my new favorite places. Thank you Boathouse!
I have to say folks, I went back, coming from the bay area on, none the less opening time on 4/28/2025. EXCEPTIONAL! A Cobb salad at 11 am with fresh bacon! I had the best service and I wasn’t shocked by the price for fresh food I’ll be reposting as I drive by consistently.

Went here with wife and in-laws a month ago. We had never been and they were coming out to visit and we wanted to take them somewhere kinda cool. This place looks really nice and had some decent reviews so we decided to try it out.
Service was ok. Took a moment but once our server saw us she was pretty attentive. We brought our own wine and paid the small corkage fee. The place overall is ok. I’d think being able to sit outside in the nicer time of the year would be much better but we were inside as it was chilly and a bit rainy.
The prices are high, but what isn’t nowadays? We asked for some ideas on what to order and I ended on the club sandwich. Other orders were the filet and the salmon.
Food came pretty fast but the problem happened while I was eating. Took a few bites of the sandwich which was decent but when I looked down there was a very long black hair from one side of the club sandwich to the other. It looked like a black rainbow. I called over the server and told her there is a giant black hair in my club sandwich. She was immediately apologetic and took it away. She asked if I wanted another but once I have hair in my food, my appetite is done for the night. She asked if they could fix me anything else and I said no.
The in-laws didn’t particularly like their food either. My wife said hers was ok. Fish was dry and so was the steak. They took my club sandwich off the bill and also brought us out a free dessert which I took a few bites of, but that was about it for me.
Oh, and on the way home, my father in-law said that he had a black hair in his broccolini. He didn’t want to say anything.
So over all, I’d say two things.
1. If you can sit outside for drinks, I’d say it might be worth your time.
2. Get the cooks some hairnets! My goodness.
