Great atmosphere and great service! This was our first time here, as we don't come to Jersey often, so the complimentary bread and salad was very nice and unexpected! Coconut shrimp appetizer was delicious, but you only get 4 shrimp, which seemed a little steep, even for a seafood restaurant. My mom got the fried platter, and boy was it fried - definitely seemed like they needed to change their oil out. I got the scallops Chesapeake, and they were very watery, decent flavor, but definitely not the best I've had. Overall, we had a good experience but would probably try out a different restaurant next time we visit.
Enjoyed a savory seafood meal at the shore. Isn't that what you are supposed to do? The Boathouse Restaurant didn't disappoint. Carly, our server was absolutely wonderful. How she tolerated us dropping everything (knife,bread) I'll never know. She helped put our dining experience over the top. We were kindly seated in a shaded portion of the patio with a nice view of the marina. Our appetizer of coconut shrimp appeared instantly. Hold on did I mention the sunset specials? Many meals were priced at $20. The broiled scallops I ordered were cooked to perfection. Not rubbery, nor mushy. They swam in a shallow pool of garlicky melted butter with a wedge of lemon on the side. Thank you chef! I hate when the flavor of the meal is overridden by something else. The lemon paired well with the crispy green beans on the side. The cole slaw was good also ,but a slight bit sweet for me. Thank you again Carly! I'm sure we will dine here again. When in the vicinity. If you'll have us.
Atmosphere was very nice. Perfecting setting with a deck that you can dine on which overlooks the water. Our food was phenomenon. Tried the broiled seafood sampler. Scallops were to die for. Highly recommended coming here for a delicious lunch/dinner for a very reasonable price.
