From the reviews
My sister and I ate here to celebrate her birthday. The view was spectacular and the restaurant was clean and well managed. We enjoyed mocktails, I had a cucumber mint something and she had a strawberry flavored mocktail. We enjoyed crispy brussel sprouts, avocado toast, chicken and waffles and a cookie dessert.
Hope did a great job personalizing our service and making my birthday dinner special! Food was phenomenal and the view was unbeatable. Will definitely be back!
See Eric at the bar! Delicious drinks. Spectacular view! And tons of options! LOVED the crab cake app - Perfection!
Getting married at The Boathouse at City Point
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.
