The server was great at the beginning, but then she forgot about us. We had to wait a long, long time to get more water. Then, waited more to get the check. It was not as good as before. They don’t have wings or shrimp tacos more They have fish tacos but not shrimp.

Great service and Great food. The stuffed flounder was great.. the sauce was really good. The boathouse ribeye and fried shrimp was done better than expected. The shrimp/crab pasta was really good too. For desert, the butter cake was delicious!

After being seated at 7pm we sat at our table for 37 minutes before anyone even acknowledged us.

We stopped here for late night drinks. Although we can’t speak to the food, we were surprised that the drink prices seemed realistic! The drinks were also much better than any other drinks we’d had in other locations around the island: they were actually “made” rather than being mostly poured from some kind of mix. Definitely a nice view and spot for a quality, late night cocktail.

Service was great for our large party. The atmosphere was nice. Had the she-crab soup it was delicious, the fried seafood combo was very bland and over fried would not recommend.

Don’t get your hopes up. It was mediocre. Server told me fish tacos were Mahi Mahi. It was a full flounder filet on a taco. Shrimp was very good. Drinks were premixed frozen. Meh.

I gave this two stars because the staff was super nice. This was the oyster/shrimp combo for $28. 4 of the 6 shrimp were overcooked. The 3.1 oysters I got tasted great. Keep in mind I completely understand things are not perfect with the crazy pandemic stuff going on I was not expecting a golden corral smorgasbord of food. I usually only give reviews if I have something really positive to say so I will say that the hush puppies were fantastic and so were the sweet potato fries.

Great food, good service. Don’t forget you amenity cards (they have no sense of humor about that). Very nice views of the Marsh and pier. They don’t mind if you walk out on the pier. They close at 9:00, but they are sometimes cool with dropping in right at closing.

Expensive and not great. After eating here I did a search and it looks like there are much better options available a little off the island.
