    Ivan our server was great and the food was wonderful. The host got us in the boat for our seats. The shrimp boil, oysters Rockefeller, steaks and key lime pie were all incredible! Expresso martini 🍸 hit the spot!

    Customer service forward, this restaurant sits on a man-made lake inside of Disney Springs. We were seated at an outdoor table with a covering and was open to air other than above. Close attention was paid to two of us with food allergies to assure our choices were allergen-free. The wait service was excellent and a dining room manager checked in with us after our meal. The food was very good. I had grouper fish with sauteed sweet potatoes, onions and baby spinach with a savory butter sauce. The grouper was well done and a bit tough and the sweet potatoes were slightly undercooked. Other than that the other three guests at my table were pleased with there meals. Unfortunately, the birds were aggressive and flocked to a table with food not cleared yet next to us, and darted by our heads flying to other tables vacant. One said bird defecated on the shoulder of my blouse! The restaurant manager did compensate our table with a gratis lake amphibian boat ride. I recommend this guided boat ride as well!

    What a great evening! Fine service from Geo, never a glass empty or a single thing missed. A wonderful representative of your team, truly a service professional! Big kudos to Colleen at the hostess stand, made our evening by truly looking out for our special requests! Treated us like family. Food was superb, hot fresh and tasty even with a very full, busy restaurant. Loved the holiday drink menu too. The Boathouse is our favorite restaurant and we will continue to come back.

    The overall experience was good. The food was good and the service was good. The noise level was very high in the restaurant. It was difficult to have a conversation with anyone at your table. I think with the reviews I had read maybe I expected a little more, but it was definitely good. I felt the menu was lacking in seafood variety and more options.( just my opinion) For me this was a restaurant I tried and it was good and now I will try something else.

    The restaurant was so clean and had a beautiful atmosphere. The staff was very attentive and polite. The food was excellent and I highly recommend the sliders. Love their bread and my husband loved his lobster roll. My cocktail, Razz Razz Duck, was made perfectly and loved the little duck they float in it. They made me feel special for my birthday lunch. We will be back.
