We sat on the dock right next to the river. It was very lovely. We especially enjoyed the iguana(?) Family that kept us company. The crab cake was absolutely delicious! As was the guacamole and chips. The staff was also wonderful.

The view of ships passing by makes this place a must for those who those who are into the nautical scene. You can sit literally a dozen feet away from a passing ship. The wait for service and food are the only issues I have.

I thoroughly enjoy dining at this restaurant located alongside the New River in Fort Lauderdale. Sitting on the dock, watching boats pass by, adds to the charm. First, I savor my cocktail, and then I indulge in the particularly delicious appetizers.Today; my spouse, my son, my daughter-in-law and my grandson joined me for another visit. Once again, we sat on the dock right by the water. However, I must emphasize that making a reservation a few days in advance is essential; otherwise, securing a table can be quite challenging.Happy hour drink specials are available every day between 4:00 PM and 6:30 PM, and except for weekends, there are happy hour food options on weekdays. You can also visit for Sunday brunch from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, although we usually come here exclusively for dinner.As always, we ordered a variety of starters to share. The Guacamole, Spicy Sautéed Shrimp, Crab Cake, Loaded Potato Dipper and Pepperoni Flatbread were especially delightful. However, I found the Steamed Mussels somewhat mediocre and not to my taste. Previously, there used to be a delicious octopus dish with a special sauce and potatoes, but unfortunately, it was absent from the current menu. When I inquired, I was informed that the chef had changed, and the dish was no longer offered. It truly was a starter worth trying, and perhaps they’ll reintroduce it after some time.Even if you’re not in Fort Lauderdale, I highly recommend visiting this restaurant if you’re in the nearby cities. Especially if you appreciate waterfront views and enjoy watching different boats and yachts pass by while dining, it offers a truly unique and elegant waterfront dining experience. Boaters can also dock their boats here for a meal.Wheelchair accessibility: Two handicapped parking lots are available just in front of the restaurant. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible. There are a lot of paid parking lots next to the restaurant.

Ambiance was nice with the river ?, but they never brought my food out ( think my waiter may have forgotten to put the order in). Even when the manager (Diana- who was kind of rude to the staff also ) came by my table and asked if everything was ok, I informed her my whole table already finished their food she was very dismissive and offered no apology. Would not come back..Instead of addressing the issue, you write back and ask me to remove my honest review? You all write and say there is no one there by that name (Diana). That means my waiter delberatly LIED to me when I asked what the managers name was, as he said her name was Diana. So you all hire liars??? The manager was a woman with grey hair who worked Saturday morning 4/6/24. Look at your schedule, as I am sure you know who I am referring to... You should have kept that response to yourself.

Food was very goodService was goodThe location is the best
Location is everything, and that's the primary reason you'd want to visit the boathouse. We stopped in on a weekday evening for dinner and were pleased to get a table at the Riverwalk, but never got waited on. In fact, I had to find a waiter myself. Our meals were decent enough, but my $30 swordfish steak was quite possibly the smallest piece of swordfish I've ever been served. And my wife's salad didn't include the walnuts it should have. Disappointing. Ordered 2 beers that were only slightly cooler than room temperature. Blah. The general area surrounding our table wasn't particularly clean either. Anyway, with all the dining options in the vicinity, I'd recommend somewhere else.

Excellent place. The service is good. The food was really good. Very close to 2 Water Taxi stops. You can sit at tables near the river, under a covered terrace. Awesome!
