★★★★★ — Boris, Jul 2026

This place is such a wonderful spot to enjoy a meal right by the water. The views are absolutely stunning and really set a peaceful tone for the whole evening. Everything we ordered tasted fresh and well-prepared, though the service was a little bit on the slower side.

★★★★☆ — Marae, Jun 2026

Beautiful views and delicious food. I loved the sole meuniere. Fish was perfectly cooked and the toasted saffron fregola was amazing topped with a creamy sauce 😋. I usually get the lobster roll there which I love but I'm not sad I tried the sole.

★★★★★ — Lara, Apr 2026

Great place for dinner and a fabulous view. You’re missing out if you don’t get the onion dip for a starter & end with the espresso martini crème brûlée. Cocktails were also very good - every one tried different ones and all were great.

Getting married at Boat House Waterfront Dining

Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
