This was my first time at this restaurant. Came with my wife for our anniversary. I had the Florida Paella and she had the Jumbo Shrimp Scampi. The meal was really good! Seasoned to perfection. Clean, nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Will definitely come here again.

I recently attended a private event here and I have nothing but positive things to say! The event was held in a private room in the restaurant that overlooks the patio and water. It was breathtaking during the daytime and the room we were in didn’t feel hot at all with the weather increasingly warm these days. From what I could see, the indoor dining room was also very cozy and the outdoor patio looked beautiful.

Made reservations on OpenTable and was seated immediately upon arrival. Both hostesses were very friendly. Went for Saturday brunch. Some of the food came out cold, but the waitress immediately offered to get us hot sides, which were delicious. It was a little loud because there were 2 large parties going on, but we had a wonderful time.

Want local seafood, then this is your stop for seafood. We had one issue, but outside that, it was great. The waitress was very informative in making sure we knew what everything was and made some great suggestions.

Loved Boatyard. The ambience is perfection. It’s very grown and sexy on Thursday nights… apparently ladies night. It’s teeming with business professionals and people who are totally fine with spending. I ordered the grilled snapper with the cauliflower mash. I wasn’t impressed by the grilled snapper at all. It was very boring and lacked flair; however, the cauliflower mash was extremely delicious. I could have had two orders of it. My friend ordered a paella and loved it! The drinks were great, the server was top notch, and the ambience… well, that was just perfection.

The food was delicious. We ordered the snapper with citrus butter sauce and the filet with blue cheese butter and bernaise to share. The side portions were enough for 2 to 3 people. Everything was amazing and cooked just right! Our waiter Andres was excellent he went above and beyond for our anniversary and brought us the most delicious smores dessert, he made our night very special! Would definitely recommend it, and I can’t wait to go back!

Heard so much about this place, but after being there, aaahhh, so disappointed. Went for lunch (2:00), but the menu was a stretch to really find something except for brunch items..bummer right there. The ambiance was ok only if you were seated on the patio would you get the full effect of the canal. Our server, although had multiple areas, was good and really kept an eye. Overall, the afternoon was ok. It could have been better.

I came here for a birthday of 10 people. It was super easy making a reservation, unlike other places around the area. The atmosphere here is awesome and it’s right on the water. The food was all wonderful and the drinks were really good too. The staff are actually very nice and helpful, from the hosts, the bar and the servers. I used to go to Shooters until it turned bad and let me tell you this place is a lot better. I will be back, thank you Boatyard!

So, we arrived at 2:25 p.m., which gave 5 minutes to order food before the kitchen closed. With this being the first time I’ve been here it felt super rushed, but I ordered the Chicken sandwich, it was very tender, and full of flavor, the salad had way too much balsamic dressing but the best part was the Smores dessert, I’m not much for desserts but this was fantastic, the flavors were layered and complex in the most perfect way!! The atmosphere is very upscale casual, great place for lunch, and I can’t wait to come back for the fillet minion.
