The sea bass was so salty we could hardly eat it. At it was a huge disappointment. Other items we ordered were ok. Our waiter was quite accomplished and knowledgeable and the atmosphere is lovely

Was disappointed servers were not in masks. Reserved outdoor seating but was told it would be a minute wait. Full disclosure it was mentioned they could not guarantee that. Should simply take it off as an option. Management and servers were as accommodating as possible. Since I picked that restaurant for the sunset we were disappointed that couldn’t happen. Would have chosen another

Was great but asked to add two more people to make it was told we couldn’t but when we were sat we had an extra table next to us that wasn’t used the whole time we were there. Disappointing they wouldn’t accommodate extra people that were visiting no less. Totally could have accommodated our extended party was disappointed by that but food was great

My wife and I ate here for a night out while on vacation with the kids. It was great for just the two of us. Service was helpful and prompt. The valet parking was great. Not a wide variety as far as menu goes, but good food. I will say the scallop portion was a little light (only but other than that we had no complaints. Nice location, and good music on the radio

Why do you sit diners ft apart during a pandemic in a empty restaurant? Your bartender doesn’t know what a MaiTai is or how to make one

The Boathouse offers a scenic dinner experience with a vibrant outdoor bar and valet parking. While the food received mixed reviews ranging from overcooked hush puppies to fresh lobster and excellent steak, the service was consistently highlighted as prompt and friendly. Some felt the prices were high, especially for drinks, but the atmosphere and location were praised. The limited menu had some hits and misses, with varying portion sizes and quality. Overall, Boathouse seems to be a hit or miss experience, but the stunning views and good service make it a desirable spot for a meal or drinks.

We always make a reservation weeks in advance and ask for a table on the porch by the screen and never get it. Last night we watched a party of 2 like us get seated at a table next to the screen like we asked for. We are always slammed up next to two other tables with people we do t know listening to our every word. Very uncomfortable.

Service was slow (we weren't served for almost an hour and noise was a problem, but that was understandable on Saturday night. What was not understandable was 5 beautiful little lobster tails cooked almost beyond recognition and too chewy to swallow. (But who is going to send an order back after waiting so long for it?

The space was extremely crowded and noisy! The food was the worst I have ever had at a restaurant. I had mahi-mahi which was small serving, thin piece of fish and tasteless. The shrimp and grits had marinara sauce that was cold. We will not return! This is a restaurant we have enjoyed in the past 40 years but no more!

Travis our server was great! He was very knowledgeable, polite, with quick service. We are from out of town so he shared his recommendations. Greaaaaaat oysters, drinks, mahi mahi and crab legs. Key lime is great too. Thank you for great service Travis! You deserve a raise!!

We had an amazing dinner last night. Every plate was wiped clean, even the kids! Our waiter was outstanding! So attentive and so personable. He was telling us the good spots on the island and off since this was out first time to the area A beautiful sunset to boot?

Overall, we had a positive experience. The service was excellent, and everyone enjoyed their meals except for the Mahi Mahi, which was undercooked and not a great cut of fish. However, the swordfish and the shrimp and grits were both very tasty. We will definitely consider returning to this restaurant.

Our waiter, Travis, was exceptional! He was very knowledgeable and attentive, especially considering that one of our party has Celiac disease. He provided us with options for both gluten-free and regular dishes. The manager was also incredibly kind when I called ahead to ask about cross-contamination and gluten-free options. The food was fantastic, and I can't wait to return!

Our server was very attentive and offered thorough explanations of the menu items. He even went above and beyond by suggesting some nearby restaurants to check out, as I mentioned my interest in exploring the area further. The food and drinks arrived quickly and were absolutely delicious. I ordered green beans, but since I prefer them to be softer rather than crunchy, the staff kindly replaced them with asparagus, which paired wonderfully with my stuffed chicken. I truly enjoyed my first visit and will definitely return. I almost forgot to mention the beautiful outdoor seating area where you can relax, take in the sunset, and enjoy views of the water. It was simply stunning.

This restaurant is amazing! Be sure to make a reservation, as it’s a popular destination in Charleston. We went on a busy Saturday night and found the outdoor terrace a little too warm, so we opted to sit inside. The service was friendly and attentive, and the food was exceptional. It's truly a local treasure. The restaurant has a small parking lot that offers complimentary valet service—just don’t forget to leave a tip! Alternatively, you can self-park in the gravel lot across the street. Don't miss this place; you won’t regret it!

After dining there with my wife, I took a moment to read some reviews. I was expecting a casual vibe with fine dining, and while the atmosphere was pleasant and the service was friendly, the food didn't meet my expectations. The poached lobster tail was disappointing—there was no sauce or lobster utensils, just dry meat. The entrée featuring steak and crab cake was similarly underwhelming. The steak was cooked to my specifications, but it lacked any seasoning, and the crab cake was just mediocre. Considering the wide variety of excellent dining options nearby, I doubt I’ll return. That being said, it seems that others have had better experiences there; unfortunately, that was not our case.
