Ariel is the best!!!! We walk up to the hostess stand hoping she's our server, she's always so nice and respectful and makes an effort to remember us. Riley is super nice as well!! Oh and the food is good too. read more

The boathouse patio brought us all the good summer vibes we were looking for! We rode our bikes here and were pleasantly surprised to see they provide a bike rack, we hope more business in Noblesville & Cicero will follow their lead! For appetizer we ordered fried pickles, if you like fried pickles you wont be disappointed. They were the best we've ever had, fried battered covered the entire pickle, very crispy, flavorful and the horseradish sauce was delicious. Service was good, lots of high school kiddos serving they were very hardworking and kind! We also ordered the Cicero sampler, loved the variety, the hush puppies hit the spot! Give Boathouse Kitchen & Swan Dive a try! Cheers! read more

Boathouse Kitchen & Swan Dive - view - Burgers Near Me - Cicero, Indiana

We had lunch at the Boathouse on a Monday afternoon. On this visit, if it wasn't for the beautiful fall day, the water view, and the decent overhead music, I doubt we would've stayed. There was no one at either the outside nor the inside host stand upon arrival. We chose our own table on the covered patio. It took 20 minutes for my cocktail to be delivered. Our server explained that there was only one bartender, two servers working, and they weren't terribly busy, so as he put it, "It's not a big deal." Well, from a customer's perspective, it's certainly not ideal and we didn't feel all that much of a priority. We ordered the Pick Two Lunch with a cheeseburger and baked potato soup as well as the Fish & Chips. Our meals tasted fine and the portion sizes were adequate, we just felt like the service was slow and a little lackluster. Bottom line: it was nice to spend a little time enjoying the view of the water on a fall day. read more

Boathouse Kitchen & Swan Dive - Fish & Chips - Burgers Near Me - Cicero, Indiana

You come to The Boathouse for the views... and the kids' meal. The kids' fish and chips are surprisingly one of the best things on the menu, but the real winner is the Rice Krispies painting dessert. It keeps little ones entertained while you finish your meal, making this one of the most kid-friendly dining experiences around. The rest of the food is good but fairly average for the price, and it's definitely on the pricier side. If you're visiting, I'd recommend ordering the fish and chips and soaking in the waterfront views. Worth it for the atmosphere and a fun meal with kids. . read more

My husband recently had surgery and wanted to get out of the house. Talk about a day out, it was a mini vacation Located on Morse lake, the restaurant looks like somewhere you would go to on vacation. Inside and outside covered and uncovered seating. Boat ramps for those arriving in boat And lakeside view, wonderful. Happy hour starts at 3 ends at 6 We encountered more vacation vibe when we ordered 18 oysters at $2 each. Bottled beer and Eddy's flavored vodka for $5 For his actual meal, My husband got sushi tuna roll. He said it was fresh but would have enjoyed a different sauce on it Because they use soy oil for frying I got a pepper cheese burger with a side of asparagus. It was wonderful. I could have made a meal out of the asparagus. All of this while great music played and a waitress that treated us with real care Will I go back? You betcha read more

Boathouse Kitchen & Swan Dive - Brussels Sprout Salad - Burgers Near Me - Cicero, Indiana

Great spot! I was first thinking of waterfront dining and was pleasantly surprised by the menu too. Excellent crab stuffed mushrooms and I recommend for an appetizer. Steak salad was perfect. The steak was seasoned nicely and the greens were fresh. The Brussels Sprouts salad was interesting. The Brussels were grilled nicely but I think the romaine lettuce was probably yesterday's; hence the ding. Service by Carter was excellent. read more

Well, the tale of two hamburgers! We have eaten at Boathouse several times and I love the Pontoon Pete, but not after tonight! My burger was the equivalent of a frozen patty from a box and tasted like it! My husband, on the other hand, had a great burger. Fries had way too much seasoned salt as well. Not sure who was cooking tonight, but how can two burgers be so different? I know this place is pretty popular but the food has to equal the atmosphere for me, and this doesn't cut it! read more

I came here for the first time with my brother to have a nice lunch on the river in Indiana. It was a perfect day after the flooding. We ordered a black Angus hamburger, fries and a salad and the waitress was very helpful and sweet. We will definitely come back and visit you again. Thank you so much and kudos to the Chef!!

Drats, I really wanted to love this waterfront restaurant! The good? Beautiful setting (for central Indiana), and kudos to the staff for doing an awesome job at handling our reservation on a crazy busy night. The not-so-great? I ordered the Margarita flatbread, and in a rare move, asked for it to be returned to be cooked longer. For $17, you got a pre-made piece of flatbread, some kind of clearly canned red sauce, roasted tomatoes and feta. The promised "basil drizzle" was a minuscule amount of basil sprinkled on the dish. The roasted tomatoes were the only thing decent. The dish was almost cold when I received, and the feta still very firm. I asked for it to be cooked longer, and 20 minutes later, I received the exact same dish. Perhaps it was warmed up then sat on the counter? My husband had the fish sandwich. Fish was fresh but woefully underseasoned. Our server was personable but clearly frantic. We don't mind extended wait times when it's busy, but had to flag him down for the bill over 30 minutes after we finished. Such a great property and fun vibe - maybe make your menu shorter and execute with better quality? Use some balsamic reduction on the margarita? read more

I have to upgrade my review. We came here for Mother's Day and it was a completely different vibe. Our previous time, it was a weird mix of cozy date night / wild frat party, but on Mother's Day, it was just serene and warm. The food is still great and I will never stop craving their brussels sprouts. My daughter graciously shared her Shrimp Pow Wow (mostly because she wanted some of my salmon) and it was delicious. read more

My husband surprised me with a date night here. I can't believe I've never been after living in Indianapolis for 16 years! Just a beautiful 20-40minute drive (depending on where you're located in the Indy area) into the quaint country scene of Cicero and here lies this gem. He made a reservation near the water and the hostess said the best seat in the house was available, score! Chill music playing made the vibe even sweeter as boats docked at the sun was beginning to set ever so slightly. There's a grassy area nearby with colorful adirondack chairs where you can soak up more of the music/view before or after dinner, as well as picnic tables out front. Plenty of parking, too! Our waitress, I wish I could remember her name because she was great and so kind, was training another kind woman named Rosie. We started with the crab stuffed mushrooms and there were very good, made with real crab, and you get several for the price - immediately further impressed! I got the original steam pot and I love that it comes in various sizes/combos. The one person original was only $23 and it came with skin-on de-veined shrimp, andouille sausage, corn, onions, garlic, lemon, thyme, and a Cajun spice butter sauce - SO good! Not a huge portion but plenty for me and a great size for the price. I'm glad I asked for a side of the house made cocktail sauce for my shrimp because it was excellent. My husband got the tuna poke bowl and for $21, I couldn't believe how much tuna he received! The ponzu sauce was delicious and the other toppings were SO fresh! Explosions of flavor all around. He also had a bowl of broccoli cheddar, the soup of the day, which was homemade and tasty. We didn't drink but the cocktails were reasonably priced at around $12/each. They also have draft beer and wine. I was just grateful they kept our waters full, a small but important touch. We ended the night with a slice of key lime pie for just $6. It was just okay to me but my husband loved it. I would have liked it better without all of the canned whipped cream on the plate/pie. Overall the dinner was delicious, priced very well, excellent staff, and the most gorgeous views! Other diners were in such good moods (how could you not be here?!) and my husband even chatted with some strangers after hearing them tell the wait staff that they were from his home state - small world! I don't know how this place doesn't have a higher overall rating but it's definitely worth checking out for a family get together, date night, girls night out, etc. Definitely make a reservation when the weather is nice! read more

Food quality was good, but nothing special. My fries were pretty good, but the sandwich was just 4/5. Staff was friendly and professional, but seemed to disappear for too long. Admittedly, our group was dining on the lower deck, pretty much all by ourselves, but the waiter was not around when we wanted to check out, we had to go looking for him to pay our bills. read more

The atmosphere here is great! The water view, music and east coast feel was lovely. We got a drink and an appetizer, which we decided on the Brussels sprouts side. They were nice and crispy, had some bacon, and were a good size. We were shocked when the bill came and they were only $3.50. The sandalista cocktail was tasty, but I couldn't even taste the gin. Our waitress was attentive and helpful with recommendations. They have happy hour that ends at 5pm and live music sometimes too! read more

Boathouse Kitchen & Swan Dive - Burgers Near Me - Cicero, Indiana

Overall, a good experience. We've watched several restaurants come and go in this location and a year or two ago 8 said we really need to give this a try. Had a great weekend weather day and decided to have lunch. Made reservations for the patio and had a nice view of the lake. Thought the food was decent and enjoyed our cocktails. Service was good but it slowed a bit as it got busier. I heard the server tell people next to us that the bar was backed up. When we left I could see why. The place was packed and a wait to be seated. I would certainly come again but you really want the weather to be decent because the views and atmosphere outside is why you come here. read more

We were looking for a place to eat outdoors and the Boathouse Kitchen is perfect. Big plus that they accept reservations. Nice indoor and fantastic outdoor area. Views and atmosphere are great too. Service was good as well. The food is a little overpriced for the portion size and quality. I paid $22 for two under-seasoned grouper fish tacos with fries. Add a third taco or charge less. Definitely worth another visit to try some of their other dishes. read more

I've anxiously been waiting and excited to go here and for my wedding anniversary then we finally made the drive and I'm so glad we did! Very much off the beaten path from when I live, we drove interstates as well a country roads with pretty scenery to get here! Located on the water, we requested to be seated out on the patio so we could watch the boats and hear the live music, however, we had to walk through the indoor area to get to the patio this we passed through the inviting air conditioning and comfy booths. We also noticed that indoors you can still hear the live music because it's on speakers indoors as well. When we were seated then the position of the sun was causing a pretty substantial brightness to reflect off the water and caused me to squint to be able to look towards my husband. We then asked to be seated indoors and they willing took us indoors at a booth that also overlooked at the water, a bonus for us! Our waitress Olivia was very friendly and helpful. We began with an order of 'Frickles' which are fried pickles. They were yummy! They also soothed our hunger while we waited for our food without be too much to have spoiled our appetites. I also ordered the Strawberry Mojito which came out right away. For our meal we decided to get the Original Boathouse Steam pot for two. This was plenty for the two of us and we were surprised to see that they gave us so many shrimp! We also had Andouille Sausage in the dish and red potatoes with four small corn ears which had been broken giving us two halves each. We ate every bit of it because it was delicious! We then ordered a piece of key lime pie to split which was delicious! We definitely will return to this laid back spot. read more

Great location and setting on the water. The food was good and there is a wide variety on the menu. Cant wait to try out new things. Drive up there n the car or boat! There are docks available. Our server was very good and lots of fun. The gal at the hostess was not so much. Maybe had a bad day. We definitely recommend Boathouse and will be back. read more

Waited an hour and a half to be seated. In addition we were not seated until 8:00pm, we did not recieve our food until 9:40 pm.Ridiculous!!! Service was poor, chicken was dry. Fries were greasy and burnt. My daughter asked for a Shirley temple and they didn't even add cherries. I would give this place zero stars if I could. Don't visit this restaurant unless you have plans to camp outside with a tent before hand! read more

Our server was Aryiel. She was amazing! Suggested a cucumber adult beverage and it was wonderful. Great place.

This was our first time to the Boathouse. I can't wait to come back and try it on a warm sunny day!! We had a large party and made reservations in advance. The team was exceptionally at helping us work through some seating and arrangement issues. They were very friendly and professional. Lots of smiles and great service even though we had a large party. The inside facility is moderately large and good condition. Everything was clean and comfortable. The bar area is attractive and looks relaxing. You have to love all the windows to watch the lake activity and sun. The menu is large. Im sure you will find something for everyone in your party. We started with the fried pickles. The breading was thin with a slight amount of seasoning. Not too greasy. The breading easily fell off the chips. The chip was a nice size to pick up and eat by hand. A nice appetizer ! My wife loved her fish tacos. She say they were very fresh and light. The Cole slaw was also very good. It is mayo based with a slightly amount of mayo. The slaw was chopped into moderate sized pieces and slightly coated with mayo. You could detect a slight amount of seasoning. I had the BBQ and ginger wings. The wings were large and very tender. They were cooked nicely - no pink insides and slightly moist. The skin was a bit crisp just like it should be!! The ginger sauce was very mild. You could pick up hints of ginger in the BBQ sauce. However it wasn't very predominant. The BBQ sauce was slightly sweet and tasty. Both sauces were very good..especially for a non-buffalo sauce person. read more

This was my wife's and myself's first time at this restaurant. We have date night every Tuesday and this particular Tuesday was gorgeous. The view of the water as well as the perfect blue sky and warm weather complimented the exceptional food we had. We love eating on any water whenever we get a chance and we will be back to this location for sure. From start to finish from the crab stuffed mushrooms, to the tuna poke bowl and the seafood boil the food was amazing. Super fresh, flavorful, hot, and lovingly prepared. And to make an amazing evening better we had great service. The waitresses we had I believe it was Rachel and Anne were on top of their game and they were attentive and showed care for us and because of them we will certainly be back. Boathouse Kitchen and Swan Dive is a little slice of heaven and we can't wait to experience the live music next time. If you haven't been to this establishment yet, don't wait! Run don't walk here, you won't be disappointed. read more

We used to frequent the Boathouse often in the summer, but I have to say that lately we've been extremely disappointed with service, food and drinks. No one knew how to make mojitos and what they brought us, was the most watered down drink possible. The food we ordered was cold and mediocre at best. I'm not sure the menu has changed at all, which is unusual for a restaurant. Normally they switch up the menu! I have to say, I'm not sure we'll be back for a while. read more

Fellow customers were pushy and arrogant. Bartender ignored us even though we were there 20 mins before arrogant party. Drinks were grossly overpriced. We left after drinks after receiving several smirks from bartender instead of good if even average service. read more

We had reservations and were immediately sat. They were so kind to confirm we still wanted the patio since the sun was extra hot that day. Our waitress was prompt and very nice. Once she took our order we had our food within 10 minutes. I feel like saying 10 is even too long! They were fairly busy too so I appreciated the attention to our order. Food was hot, flavorful and quick! We had it before the drinks from the bar haha. I got the fish tacos and was worried it would be bland from previous reviews but it was amazing! He got the platter and it was just as good. We will definitely be back soon! read more

I had always sat outside on the patio or deck in the Summer, but given my daughter's ISSMA singing competition in Noblesville, running up to Cicero for some basketball and lunch & libations overlooking Morse Lake was a great idea! Sat in the bar, enjoying some sun while watching multiple bball games & winning some money! My steamed shrimp pot was really good and the potatoes & corn on the cob were thoroughly enjoyed if even out of season and not local. The Key Lime Pie to finish up made for a nice midwinter's break, even if I would have preferred being in Ft. Meyers in May or Charleston in August. Plenty of local beers, if that is your thing and the service & crowd could not have been nicer. A good break from the winter doldrums! Maybe the groundhog really did not see his shadow! read more

Being Mothers Day, I can understand the big crowds but why offer both brunch and regular menus when you clearly can't keep up. We waited over 1 1/2 hours for our meals with no apologies or offers from the staff. I just can't even go on with a review since this was so egregious. They are so lucky to be on the lake and open on Sunday and seemingly had plenty of help...except maybe in the kitchen. Want to like the place but this kinda ruined it for me. read more

I love eating outside at restaurants on the water. I am a big fan of Ricks Boatyard and was curious how their menu was in comparison. My friend and I met for an early dinner around 4pm on a Friday. We had no wait time to sit outside. The tables are shaded and there was a nice breeze coming in. I ordered the blue Betty frozen cocktail because it's hot outside and it was good. Then for food I ordered the lobster roll with a side of brussel sprouts and my friend ordered the fish tacos with a side of brussel sprouts. Our waiter gave us suggestions on the menu because it was first time. I was surprised with the abundance of seafood options being located in Indiana. I look forward to coming back and trying their famous steam pot. We both enjoyed our food and the view. I really like the seating inside the restaurant. There is parking readily available. read more
