“ 10 out of 10! Ok except for the sangria... That gets a 2. But the food was outstanding! We both ordered the chef special Wagyu Ribeye. Best Ribeye we have ever had! Salad was spot on as well! Expensive but great food, nice view and worth every penny! ”
“ Great place to have dinner. We had the filet mignon, mushroom ravioli with grilled shrimp, and clam chowder. Everything was good especially the service. The owner seated us and was very welcoming. It was very close to getting all 5 stars. The Caesar salad could have been better ”
“ Very happy we celebrated our 26th Anniversary here. Food & service was awesome. We will be returning! ”
“ It was our first time there and they were very busy, as it was Wednesday night, three cluster crab was the special our waitress was on point but very short and brief.... I understand that she was extremely busy but not very etiquette but everything came out exactly as it should so I do not blame Her!! Food was amazing. I would not recommend the beer, cheese and pretzels as they did tasted burnt, maybe left in the deep fryer a tad bit too long.... The New England clam chowder was amazing, lobster linguine was to die for, and the crab clusters was out of this world, If you don’t like spice order them without the seasoning, They were very heavy seasoned with Cajun, I like spice so I didn’t mind just giving people a heads up.. The bread and butter was out of this world. I have no idea what they put in their butter, but it was fantastic!!!!!! All in all it was a fantastic place to try. Delicious seafood, A great place too enjoy a good cocktail or beer with friends and family... Thank you again Smiths Boathouse as it was as delicious as everybody has said should be!!! ”
“ What a peaceful evening at The Boathouse. We got the delicious halibut special & lobster pasta with salads. Their house dressing is wonderful. Key lime pie for desert was delish. We will be back! Thank you Shai for great service and Laura for a well run restaurant and ambiance! ”
