We had a wonderful experience at Summer House. We checked in for our reservation and were seated in less than five minutes. Our waitress was super kind accommodating, always checking to refill our water and asking if we needed anything. Food was fantastic! I had the sangria and the Cobb salad, my daughter had the pizza and mu husband had the caesar salad with ahi tuna. All delicious!!! Generous portion sizes. I will definitely will be coming back. 10/10

This restaurant should run the government lol We went on Valentine’s Day (usually a day of mediocre service and food due to crowds). Not fishbones! The staff was bending over backwards hustling - everyone working together efficiently. The food was perfectly prepared - no detail was lacking. It’s always a consistently outstanding experience no matter the day time or holiday. I always love the Chilean sea bass and the dang bang shrimp. The steak is also pure perfection. This time we tried the shrimp cocktail and….wow. HUGE shrimp with an exceptional flavor and texture. The cost is always shocking but I’ve never had anything that didn’t feel worth the price. We love to come here for special occasions.

Wonderful dining experience. We met the Manager, Scott who was the nicest, friendliest person who went above and beyond to make our dinner so very special. You see....we lost our precious daughter, Jenna 20 months ago. It was sudden and traumatic. The Boathouse and the Fillet Mignon sliders were here favorite. Her last birthday Orlando celebration in February 2023 was so special. We lost her suddenly in June 2023. We live on Long Island, we visit 3 to 4 times per year and T.J. has always taken care of us. Thank you to the staff at Tje Boathouse, T.J. and Scott for helping us through our grief at Jenna's favorite restaurant. You help to heal my heart! Sincerely, Jayne Hudson💜💜💜

We were able to sit outside for a beautiful sunset evening. My husband had the special - bison ribs. Tasty and unique. Only downside was my salmon. Requested med to rare but was more well done than preferred.

Eating at Chica's was outstanding! The food has always been great! We went on Friday night. There was live music on the outside patio and also live music in the bar. The atmosphere was electric but not so much that you couldn't have a conversation with your neighbor. Very enjoyable experience!
