The Boathouse Restaurant

Our family of five, which much to our dismay includes one kind of picky/not adventurous eater, dined here last night and it was wonderful. After a short wait that was exactly the amount of time promised, we were seated on the patio on a beautiful evening. We had a dozen oysters, which were delicious. The bartender made the perfect dirty martini and fast. Our server, Xavier, was attentive and had a great personality. I ordered the shrimp and scallop entree, which he overheard me debating, and assured me it was the best thing on the menu. I think he was right; it was amazing. I wish it had more bok choy or I'd gotten another veg (I didn't need it from a fullness standpoint... plenty of food), but the flavors were so good and the scallops were perfectly cooked. One of my daughters got the fish and chips and the fish was amazing. Generous portion and perfectly battered and fried. My husband got the shrimp tacos, which he said were delicious. The picky eater got a burger, and she said the pickles on it were amazing (random but she really liked the pickles). The last (but actually middle) daughter is gluten sensitive (not celiac) so she opted for shrimp cocktail and fries and was a happy girl. The fries come with a sriracha ketchup and I appreciated that without asking, Xavier also made sure to bring regular ketchup. We would absolutely eat here again. Best meal of the trip thus far.

The food was great. Some gluten-free options
