I stopped by for an afternoon meal, waited 4.5 mins in the front to be seated the server told me just a sec which was absolutely fine, waited another 3.4 mins and waved at someone who was working but she pretended I wasn’t there, So I asked them “ sry why r u ignoring me”. She could just say sry and help me but instead she was rude and mean , she told her colleague or manager about the situation right in front of me and started talking negatively of me with other customers saying I started a fight, this was a huge shock to me. I tried to talk to them and explain that I wasn’t mad or it probably was a misunderstanding but they did not listen and continued with their snarky cold attitude.This is the first time such an awful interaction happens to me in my whole life,At the end not only they didn’t apologize but literally told ANOTHER table about how some customers (me) have no manners.Definitely won’t be coming back

Nice place. Appreciate they’ve added a vegan option, but more plant based foods would be great!Also, would benefit from adding a baby change table in the washroom!

Yummy crumbles fish! Can't say much of the atmosphere because we went at lunch time for take away but it seems a nice place for a quick meal.

We came here for lunch outside on their patio on a beautiful Fall day. Our rating is: Ambiance: 5/5 a great vibe as you stare across the ocean by the beach. Great place for coffee or a meal with family & friends. There's indoor seating inside the tent.Food: 4/5 - we had the cod burger wrapped in lettuce with fries & fish & chips. The setup is that you order & pay inside and they'll give you a number with a bucket of utensils. Your food is brought out when it's ready. They offer Brunch daily from 11 am - 3pm. Happy hour is from M - F from 3 pm - 5 pm along with Daily Deals from M - F. A good selection of burgers, tacos, salads & starters at average prices.Parking: 5/5 complimentary parking in the lot outsideLocation: 5/5 - the place is where the old concession stand used to be near the tennis courtsService: 4/5 - friendly service and food arrived after a short wait

It's sort of this cute little place, tucked away, but right on Ambleside beach. They used to have full service, but now it operates more like a food truck, you go and order from the takeout window, but you can eat it there.The atmosphere is very cute and cozy, and the food has always been good every time I've gone! They specialize in seafood/fish and chips.

Super busy place right by Ambleside which makes it a perfect stop to grab some food when youre hungry! Although we had to flag down our server a couple times to get their attention, the food was delicious on the other hand!

Best truffle fries I’ve had on any beach! Max helped me out and she was a delight. Wish there was more sauce but alas! 10/10 would order the truffle fries again.

The Boatshed Ambleside is a fun, relaxed restaurant, right on the beach, with excellent food. Our daughter’s puppy was welcomed and given a doggie treat. The staff were friendly and competent; we had a great time!

Hello Management, The patio in the back used to look so classy , just great ! What happened? Now is a collection of left overs with a wood wall , I get it, but it reminds me if a poor east Germany thing. I wanted to celebrate ? there but ist not an inviting place anymore.
