What Nyasia Upton doesn't like about Boatyard Waterfront Grill:
The staff was very friendly. The views of the restaurant are spectacular, but the food was a bit down. The food could have much more taste!!! Nicely plated, but not enough spices of food. View all feedback. What Mandy Maggio likes about Boatyard Waterfront Grill:
The location is perfect for outdoor dining on the water at this local favorite. The **** Mary was very good, the grouper Piccata and Caesar Shrimp Salad were excellent. The service was great and our server Matt was very nice. Much distance between tables and good Kovid precautions. View all feedback.
