The service was generally good, but some guests felt underwhelmed. The atmosphere was also a point of contention, with small portions and high prices leading to a dystopian feel for some guests.

The food was so good, but the portions are small for the pricing. the ambiente the bar was really nice and the staff was so great.
This is one of the best spots of capitol bill for a night out. eating is perfectly executed and so is the service.
Really great, super sweet and tasty place. crooked are a tad small for the price, but the menu was inventive and delicious. I love the garnel with chips!
That was my first experience in a renee erikson restaurant and it didn't disappoint at all. you eat exemplified the things that my family and I appreciate good cooking. 10/10 will celebrate again.
This was one of the best meals that I’ve had this year. Everything from the cocktails and oysters to the beef tartare and fish and chips special: excellent! I swear the vesper is one of the best martinis out there! Thank you, Boat Bar!

Boat Bar is a nice alternative if you can’t get reservations at Bateu!
Starting with great craft cocktails, delicious oysters, a crab special, asparagus, and the steak frites, everything was prepared perfectly. And the bread pudding was the perfect dessert. The server was fairly brusque in a hurry to get everything ordered even though we were seated at 8:15 and they weren’t terribly busy. If she had slowed down a little, we would have ordered and enjoyed more food and drinks.
My favorite cozy happy place. Never disappoints food fun and excellent service
Great food, great menu and specials, great service!
Really good once things started rolling but took about 20 minutes to get our first drinks

Ideal place on a summer night for interesting small fish dishes, white wine, and good company!
The servant is irresponsive. We are not very happy about this
The ambience is great! Cute spot, love the colors! The food was good but everything was over-salted. I wouldn't run back for the food.
Every dish had great depth of flavor and was perfectly seasoned. It was our best meal in Seattle.
Food was good, our server was rather pretentious, as if he was doing us a service serving us

Ordered oysters and a grilled lamb dish. The seafood was excellent and fresh, lamb nicely charred. The dining room is bright and airy with a casual vibe. Staff were friendly and quick. Bathrooms were tidy. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Price per person: $20–30
Had a great birthday meal at Boat Bar. The oysters were delicious and props to the person behind the bar shucking all night! It was fun to have a variety to choose from and we chose them all. The small plates are generous. The smoked scallops and crab-filled brioche donut were standouts for me. I also need to call out the incredible and attentive staff here. Our server was friendly and warm and everyone who we encountered was lovely. We will be back!
