The Boathouse - Guelph

We had a really nice time here, and the ice cream was very good. Sitting by the river was relaxing. I suggest visiting for those who just want a quiet ice cream by the river.

We sat and waited 10 minutes. There were 5 or 6 servers but they were mostly standing around talking. I finally walked to the counter and asked if I had to order there or if someone was going to come to the table. A girl apologized and immediately came over. We ordered. She brought our food and drinks and never came back to refill the teapot or ask how everything was. I took our teapot to the counter and asked another girl to fill it. The table cloths were dirty on several tables. The almond milk was curdled. The food was good. There were plenty of servers but they were not attentive to customer service. The prices on the website need to be updated to reflect the menu prices.

Had a waitress, I think her name was Rachel ? . She was very kind and attentive. She even brought us over extra napkins and the carrot cake was garnished so nicely! She laughed at my husbands jokes. I don’t know what I like more, the service or the delicious food!

Thank you for carrying vegan ice cream! We are (mostly) vegan and now our family can go out and enjoy ice cream, and our young daughter doesn't have to miss out. It means so much thank you!

What a lovely place to share some time with a gal pal! We were served immediately and left to chat as long as we liked. High tea was splendid!
