I booked a reservation a week in advance for Valentine’s Day. The reservation was for 8, but due to traveling to from over an hour away and holiday traffic we walked through the door at 8:18. They stated there was no way we could possibly get a table anymore, due to the busyness, and there being a 15 minute grace period. I understand they were probably busy, but to not make an exception for being three minutes late to this “grace period” is kind of ridiculous to me. Was really looking forward to a nice dinner and instead I wasted a few hours driving.

Detailed Review:
It’s Summer 2022, I looked for a waterfront restaurant in CT. I found this place, however, it’s tough to reserve an outdoor table for a weekend dinner. I booked my table on 6/6 for the dinner on 6/25.
We ordered: Local Oysters on the Half Shell, Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail, Chicken Liver Pate, Prime Burger, Boathouse Lobster Roll, Apple Strudel, and Creme Brulee.
– Local Oysters on the Half Shell & Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail: very fresh, you can even feel the oysters were crunchy.
– Chicken Liver Pate: the Pate was very good, you may want to ask for more bread to finish the disc.
– Prime Burger: it’s juicy, the beef was good (but not excellent yet). The fries were crispy.
– Boathouse Lobster Roll: delicious. The torpedo was crispy but not hard.
– Apple Strudel: the vanilla ice cream was very good.
– Creme Brulee: burning smell, not too sweet, delicious.
So I gave 5/5 for the food.
We did bring our own wine, there was $30 for corkage fee. I just wish they could have an ice bucket for our bottle, but they served well and their recommendations for food were good. So 5/5 for service.
The view was great, there is the Saugatuck River flows by. Since the patio faces East, during sunset, the sunlight does not shine directly to your table. So view is 5/5.
The restroom is nice and clean. They have an individual restroom upstairs and another restroom downstairs.
.
I hope this review is helpful for you.

This is an incredible location for an outdoor event. You’re right on the water! The Boathouse has an outdoor patio with views of the river that are gorgeous. One thing I loved was that they have a large tent over part of the patio that’s clear, so the view isn’t blocked. (Most tents are solid white.) The Birthday girl at this party arrived by boat, which made for a unique grand entrance. Love this venue. Beautiful views, friendly staff and great food.

We stopped in for lunch and enjoyed a great view of water. They have two dining areas and we chose to sit outside and dine. For starters we had the cheese plate along with the charcuterie. Both plates were great. The cheese was really good along with the charcuterie. For my lunch I had the burger which was cooked perfectly. The fries were delicious as well.

It is a nice spot to have a drink or dine in. The staff is nice and the food was tasty. We had the pâté to start which was delicious and their scallops were yummy! We lucked out with beautiful weather and will definitely come back again.

There were 5 of us . I ordered a burger medium it came well done. 3 others ordered the salmon, they said it was horrible. I gave my well done burger to my friend who gave back her salmon. I asked for another burger, the waiter didn’t order it and when he finally did it never came. When I asked he said very rudely that it takes a long time to make a well done burger. Never ordered it well done. He even saw it on his computer and never apologized. I never ate dinner and when the bill came there were 2 burgers charged and the salmon wasn’t taken off. Very very bad service and bad food. The drinks were 21 dollars for a martini also which we didn’t complain about . Never going back

I went for lunch today and ordered the hamburger sandwich. The food was good, and the view was wonderful. However, while I was having a serious conversation with my companion, the waiter came over and asked if I was finished. I told him I was not done yet.

A little later, he came back again with a to-go box and tried to pack up my food — while I was still eating. I found this extremely rude and inappropriate, especially for a restaurant that presents itself as an upscale dining place.

I was so uncomfortable that I decided to leave right after. I truly hope the owner reads this review, because this kind of service is unacceptable.

Perfect weather sitting outside. What an amazing location. Food and service were great. Had a great kale salad with an excellent piece of salmon on top. I would have sat up there looking at the all afternoon but had to get some work in during the day. I will definitely go back and next time try dinner

Had a reservation at 1:45pm sunday september 8 2024, for brunch . We were seated and then the Manager, out of nowhere rudely said “you have to move them, I don’t care! move them”. I was Horrified by such Disgusting behavior . He didn’t have any basic training on how to treat patrons in their establishment. I will never spend my hard earned money in any locations, which treats any person in that manner. His delivery was demeaning and disrespectful . So i got up and walked out and walked across the street and spend $300 dollars on lobsters and oysters across the street at the lobster restaurant.
