The food was pretty good. Let’s star off with the good stuff.
Calimary was absolutely perfect. Can’t say more then that.
The stake was perfectly cooked.
The chicken was great solid cook on this dish.
The asparagus was neglected.
The mash potatoes was decent but for the price I was expecting something a bit more elevated.
They came out a bit cold and lumby.
The sweet bread was unique. It was like eating dessert and it came out cold. Not sure if this was intended or the way it was supposed to come out.
There were lots of little ant all over our table and booth as well and nats flying around.
Our server was perfect. She knew exactly when to come by and when to chat. She made the experience a lot more enjoyable.

The Boatyard Restaurant was such a great experience from start to finish. The views right on the water are beautiful and really set the vibe for a fun, relaxing meal.
We had the best drinks ever. The Nauti Rita, Minty Melon, and Sun Kissed were all amazing and super refreshing. Honestly, I would go back just for the cocktails alone.
The East Coast oysters were the best I have ever had, so fresh and flavorful. For entrees, the chicken sandwich was delicious and perfectly cooked, and the blackened shrimp tacos were so good with great seasoning. My only small wish is that the taco shell held together a little better because it fell apart pretty quickly, but the flavor absolutely made up for it.
The staff was wonderful, friendly, and attentive throughout our meal. Overall, I would definitely recommend The Boatyard and will absolutely be returning.

We were a bit disappointed with this place, especially since we had high hopes. We chose Boatyard for my partner’s 34th birthday on February 21st, and unfortunately, things got off to a rough start.
The vibe and atmosphere are right, and the outdoor space is very nice. Unfortunately, valet was a mess. I ended up sitting in my car, just one row in, for quite a while before the valet attendant finally put up a sign saying valet wasn’t available. Thankfully, there is plenty of public parking, so we were able to find a spot shortly after.
The food was just okay. The portions felt small for the prices and assumed calibar of the menu and some of the dishes were a bit strange. One dish arrived in a bowl sitting on rocks. I understand the idea of decorative presentation, but it was a little confusing and definitely not something you would want to make the mistake of trying to eat.
The highlight of the night was dessert, which was a huge peice of cake, and we actually enjoyed it.
The staff were friendly and generally professional, although our server seemed like he might have been new or still in training. He was a nice guy, so we gave him the benefit of the doubt. I’d advice you get rid of the bathroom attendant. It makes things awkward and honestly strange.
Considering the drive from our hotel in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea and the overall experience, we probably would not return.

Wonderful restaurant with great food. Seafood and steak are specialties on the menu. Their seafood Tower appetizer is amazing. The lobster fra diavolo, steak, and Chilean sea bass is out of this world. On the desert menu the bread pudding and the carrot cake are highly recommended. Service was very attentive and friendly.

Boatyard is a great spot to welcome your guests to Florida! It has a great atmosphere and different areas within the restaurant offer different vibes depending on your mood. We sat outside which has water views, some fire pits and couches to lounge at with your group. We found some seats at the outside bar with a nice view and lively atmosphere. We had a nice selection of snacks to choose from but ended up spitting an order of shrimp from the happy hour menu and the wagyu bolognese from the regular menu. The shrimp were large and delicious with an interesting presentation. The wagyu bolognese was a good size and even after we split it, we took home leftovers. The happy hour drink list was good and the wine choices were good. They have La Crema on the happy hour menu. The servers were not especially attentive and did not seem to be working well together. We actually waited a bit to order another beverage but decided to leave after waiting over 10 minutes. Overall, the service was fine, food was great, atmosphere is amazing and we have had many a fun evening here so we will definitely be back. I give it a thumbs up for bringing your people here for an intro to South Florida.

Hands down one of my favorite spots in the area. The vibe is upscale but relaxed, and the waterfront location is unbeatable. The seafood is incredibly fresh, and the cocktails are on point. Definitely order the Bimini Bread! Great service and a fantastic atmosphere for any occasion. 5/5 stars.

Francheska provided excellent service during our visit, and the food was outstanding. Every dish was delicious and well-prepared. Francheska had a great attitude and made us feel very welcomed from the moment we sat down. It made for a relaxing and enjoyable dining experience. I highly recommend this spot for both the hospitality and the cuisine.

We enjoyed sitting at Boatyard’s outside bar for a while and then moving to the inside bar. Great service at both. Had several cocktails, a couple apps and dinner. Check out the crystal-clear ice cube – nice! (Hey, Boatyard, feel free to use my pic in your ads – you’re welcome!). Their Bimini bread is unreal – sweet, gooey and just SO good!! If you like brussel sprouts, these are some of the best you’ll ever taste. Have eaten here before and will definitely visit again.

Great location! Very nice decor and atmosphere! The food was good! The shrimp appetizer was delicious! The calamari was okay, but I wouldn’t order it again. The bimini bread pudding was fantastic!

Such an amazing place, and I’m vegan/vegetarian! The cauliflower dish on the menu intrigued me because we have a place in Pittsburgh (The Lot, in Oakmont) with a similar dish that I absolutely love, and this was equally amazing, along with the Artichoke Chops with Basmati Rice. My BF loved his dishes too of Branzino and Peri-Peri Shrimp. The staff was very friendly and helpful too. We happened to go on a Thursday for happy hour AND ladies night, so the place was pretty busy and great for socializing, with the fire pits going and a DJ playing. Super great place to be and experience.
