Boat House - San Diego

Great atmosphere. Absolutely loved the Manhattan chowder. The clam chowder was good but very rich. The oysters were amazing. Definitely must try the key lime pie. The service was beautiful. Only downside was that they were out of lobster rolls and we got there at opening.

I tried the Wednesday Live Maine Lobster special and it was fantastic! The lobster was incredibly fresh, juicy, and sweet—so much so that I ended up having two! However, the rice pilaf was a bit too salty for my taste. The clam chowder was delicious too. I would definitely come back just for the lobster! Plus, I had a lovely view of the dock from my table.

I’ve been taking my wife to the Boathouse Restaurant for Mother's Day brunch for the past six years. We’ve always gotten a table by the window, and the view of the marina has been spectacular. The food was delicious, and the mimosas were great as well. The service was excellent too.

To Considering the special location and atmosphere this restaurant is very affordable! A good value value The Boathouse Restaurant location is exceptional! The surrounding grounds, Marina, and proximity to downtown San Diego offers a feel good experience (very good)... The restaurants dining area offers great views of the Marina... We sat next to large windows overlooking this beautiful Marina. Our server (Will) did an excellent job at serving our party and his other tables (he was very busy; a very good attitude). Everyone in our party of 6 loved the dining and drinks we ordered (except for me... Note: I am not easily pleased... sorry)... I ordered the Prime Rib and a bowl of Clam Chowder. The Prime Rib (this serving was very fatty) is served with a mashed garlic potato that was overly garlic for my taste. The Clam Chowder (I won't order again with a beef plate) was a bit lacking, which is surprising considering my expectation of this classy restaurant... I must insert here that I usually do not order Prime Rib so this was a venture away from my usual preferences... I did try a taste of the Macadamia Mahi Mahi but I wasn't impressed with that either. The drinks were visually impressive, refreshing and tasty; a second round was ordered... Also the house expresso was appreciated and reordered by the two in our party that are very into expressos (so the drinks and expressos receive high kudos). Assistant Manager (a young gal) was very professional (sorry I don't have her name). She was very congenial giving me a very good first impression. I think most diners would rate the Boathouse with 5 Stars for the overall experience. I may have had a very of day... By: cmilton111 Google Guide 6.10.2018

This restaurant is a fantastic spot for dinner with a stunning view of Marina West. The sunsets here are breathtaking. The menu offers a mix of American cuisine and seafood, making it a great choice for everyone in the family at reasonable prices. There's also a bar where you can catch your favorite sports on TV. The bartenders are consistently friendly and attentive, so you won’t have to wait long for a drink! I’ve been a regular here on and off for the past four years, and it’s a great local gem. Enjoy your visit!
