    We had my daughter's college graduation dinner here and we couldn't have been happier. We had our own private room, the service was amazing and the food was delicious. I would recommend this place 100% And I want to say thank you to everyone for helping our celebration be such a great one.

    What a place. An improvement from the previous restaurant at the same location for sure. The owner is a great guy, very responsive, and managers Joe and Will are an excellent team.

    Excellent meal, clam chowder had plenty of clams the mesclun salad had a tasty dressing and the baked haddock was fresh with buttered breadcrumbs flavored perfectly

    Was my 1st time there. Went w/2 friends who suggested the Boat House Grille because of their amazing salads (all 3 of us are watching our weight). I got the Rockport Pear Salad & it didn’t disappoint, wow! Fresh, delicious, just right. One of them got same thing but w/steak tips & she said they were the best she’s ever had. The other one got the Spinach Salad which she’d had before & just loves. We split the Fried Brussels Sprout appetizer (a 1st for all of us) & the flavor, texture & portion of that dish was spectacular.

    Calamari was disgusting. My "Titanic salad" was drowning in an ocean of dressing. Place was too loud and tables too crowded together. I don't feel like writing anymore.
