                  The food was good, but it takes ages to get there. You have to walk from the parking lot for about half an hour to get to the restaurant . We got there on time for our 7:30 reservation, and they made us wait about 30-45 minutes to finally get to our table.

                  Very nice experience. We got lucky and were seated in a quiet area but the overall restaurant can be fairly loud.

                  Boathouse is one of our favorite restaurants. It does not feel like a restaurant in a themed tourist area. It feels like an elegant waterside restaurant. Love the ambiance and the service and the food is excellent (my favorite is the filet minion sliders). I arrange to go there whenever we are in the Orlando area.

                  Always a great place for lunch. Lots of great food and drink selections. Boathouse will be celebrating 10 years at Disney Springs soon and Jillian and her team are still providing great service just like the first time we visited almost 10 years ago.
