Great food, good vibe, just solidly on the expensive side. You're paying for the view more than the food.

Worst service ever. Seated immediately outside and then forgotten. Not even a drink order. Can't comment on the food because we got up and left after a long time with no server to be seen. Staff. Looked like they could care less as we exited. read more

The worst! Horrible service, Nathan was "taking care of us" but more like neglecting us. And when we had a request it seemed like a hassle for him to abide. What was supposed to be hot food was room temperature at best. Scoffed at when we sent it back. Unbelievable. With multiple great restaurants in a small radius I don't know why anyone would visit this establishment. I know my family and I WILL NEVER RETURN. PLEASE STAY AWAY!!! If I could give it zero stars I would. No redeeming qualities at all read more

Sadly the bar crowd takes over, very loud. Food is good, outside seating preferable to noisy inside.

Tonight, having a reservation for 4 at 6pm, we were walked past empty tables to a table down on the 2nd platform in a dark corner that was more geared for a party of 2. The host was very snippy & curt from the minute we walked in. The lights in the umbrella were out, there were only 3 chairs at the table & the fans were on very high. We sat there with no one coming to serve us. When my husband went to find a server, the hostess came back & told us all tables were reserved but we could sit at a table for an hour until the party that reserved it arrived. The manager offered no help. Their only offer was to put lights that worked at the table. WOW. A chilly reception, lack of service & empathy plus a costly menu caused us to leave. Two thumbs down Boathouse. So disappointed. read more

Good location and view in downtown Stuart. Don't waste your money! I've had two bad meals in two tries in the past 6 months. This place was good when first opened but has tanked since then Salad with grilled chicken. And the chicken is microwaved or bad meat. Old ! Very disappointed. I go across the street to sailors return. Never had a bad meal. Good view. read more

This place was awesome for a birthday dinner, however, the food is pricy. The mac & cheese was excellent, and was completely homemade. The seafood dishes were $30-35, but to me they were only worth $15-20 at the most. The birthday cake that they gave us was to die for. So thick and rich. I would come back here for special occasions but I wouldn't come back for regular day or night dinners due to the high price on seafood. read more

They were out of what I ordered so I had to settle. The salmon was under cooked and tasted like it definitely was not fresh. The "tuna" on my tuna roll was grey. We will definitely choose another restaurant next time we're out. I would compare this place to an extremely over priced dive bar that happens to sell old seafood. SAVE YOUR MONEY and go next door to the black marlin or mulligans read more

We sat outside by the water which has a great view BUT the chairs are VERY uncomfortable. When I asked the waitress if they had a chair pad or something she said they didn't but added that a lot of people complain about the chairs. Really? Sushi was good - a little too much sauce for my taste but good. But please get new chairs or at least some chair pads!! read more

Ate here twice and both times delicious! Tuna, steak, grouper all great! Nice people, great views!

Over priced and not very good Disappointed in the crap dip as I couldn't find the crab. When I asked the waitress about it, she said it cooks down..........yeah not so much read more

Went to The Boathouse with a friend tonight. Was greeted at the door by 2 very young girls who were extremely unwelcoming. We asked for a window seat, they had none. Outside seating was under a tent not in the restaurant. They asked to take my temperature??? We left and won't go back read more

It was so good the sushi is amazing definitely should try it out sit out side by the water won't be disappointed

Food was excellent and Josh, our waiter, did an outstanding job. We were there for my daughter's birthday and the staff went above and beyond to take care of us. Thanks! read more

I can't understand the negative reviews. Maybe it was growing pains. We visited the boat house and the people were Stuart Fl nice as can be. The setting on the river was beautiful. My fish tacos were delicious and my wife thought the wrap was very tasty. The French onion soup was great too. Our guests had burgers which were told to be good too. The decor was cool and nautical. Loved the tables made from a Russian boat. We will bring the boat here next visit. read more

Unbelievable. Worst service ever. Been here for 45 minutes and finally received my appetizer. Food was good, but no attention to detail or the customer. 1.5 hours from being seated until entrees were served. Watched others seated after us that were eating before us. WTF?!? Clearly focused on turning tables. Will not likely come back here...ever! SOOO Disappointed... read more

Right on the water with a beautiful view. Waiter was extremely accommodating and friendly. Escargot and oysters on the half shell were amazing. The tuna stack was extremely filling and very eye appealing. Beware that the surf and turf sushi roll has the equivalent to a block of cream cheese in it but was HUGE and delicious. The lobster and shrimp ravioli was also a large portion and delicious. All the food we got was great and we did not feel rushed being there for two+ hours. read more

My go to place when I'm Stuart! Great staff and great view. Nothing fancy but the food is very good.

Tried this place today for the first time. I have lived in Palm City for a while so I wanted to take my friend out to lunch in the area. So disappointed. She ordered a Bloody Mary- it was completely watered down. I ordered a chicken prosciutto panini (minus the prosciutto). The chicken was very rubbery and room temperature It didn't taste fresh at all. It seemed as if it was reheated in a microwave. The cheese in this sandwich was just one big melted lump. I also ordered the cranberry kale salad. The dressing came on the side and it was soggy before I even added it. Again, it was room temperature. I'm not sure if their dinners are better but I was not impressed with this Saturday lunch experience. read more

Food OK, atmosphere is nice, service is terrible, waitress poorly trained, could not even uncork a wine bottle or get the order right, manager (man) very confrontational and full of excuses, a very unpleasant person to deal with. I cannot recommend it. Very bad experience we had on my sister and nephew's birthday. read more

Friday after work. Great view! My wife and I ordered the fish and chips. We started off with the Brie. Delicious. Sitting at the bar was nice but a tight fit on the wall side of the bar. Even with the tight fit it was a great way to meet people. read more

Just had a great meal here. Dinner of Mahi and Scallops was perfect and our server Jenny was amazing and super friendly. My family had a great time and we will be back. read more

The greeter and waiter had no personality, the boathouse was cold- the food average. The salad dressing watery, fish and chips taste like the grease it was fried in, and the French Fries were processed!!!! Drink were good... Restaurant location was top notch but needs a professional to assist with the ambiance!!! read more

Hostess always has attitude. Service is just ok and it always takes at least an hour to get food no matter if it's busy or not. Food is good, needs to function better in kitchen and other areas. Probably won't go back it's just frustrating. read more

Sat at the bar and had cocktails and steak dinner from dinner special menu. 3 course meal $ 24.95 Went on Saturday around 4:30 pm Excellent chowder Special shout out to Jordyan and Paige and one other whose name I unfortunately cannot remember. They were so friendly and made our visit memorable. We will definitely be back. read more

Wednesday lunch with wife. Sat outside. Beautiful day with a beautiful view! Very attentive service. Great food! Wife had mussels and the homemade hummus. Awesome! I had the Ahi Tuna Stack, which was delicious. Impressed with our servers passion for their food choices. We will definitely be back to visit! read more

See all

Food is not great - -Had a seafood chowder for $8 which ended up being broth with little flavor - - i mean it had zero seafood in it - Sent it back as I was told it was loaded with seafood. My waitress brought me a new one which they dropped 2 small shrimp in it -and was told they fixed it- what a joke... Sushi I had was loaded with cream cheese an not fish to make it look large. Zero flavor. The over stuffed shrimp is not over stuffed....we had a large table an not one wow or try this. Service was very slow but she was nice Over priced not good food -- view is great read more

Had lunch there on NYE. Very interesting menu. I had the mac and cheese with a Cuban sandwich. Delicous and reasonable. Rachel was great. The location is phenomenal too. read more

Service was great. It was super busy when we went but our waiter was still very attentive. Sushi rolls were huge with a ton of fresh fish but the rice was still a bit wet and slices were messy. Blackened mahi tacos were perfect. The tuna tataki was a bit overcooked. Still a great lunch spot with a nice outdoor space. read more

This place is super cute and has some of the best patio space around but I've never been super impressed with the food. It's very fun of the mill and chainfood like. The atmosphere is fun and views worthy a visit, but the food is nothing to be excited about. read more

Food was good, service was horrible. $48 for a dozen very tiny oysters. We were not made aware of the price. Complained to manager......no response. Will not return!! read more

We ate here two nights in a row, and we found the service, the menu and the food to be outstanding. Hands down, the best dining experience in Stuart. Good value for the money, too. If this strikes you as overpriced, I've got a pro-tip: eat at home. read more

Yuck! Burger was awful. Fish and chips was awful. Service at the bar was awful. Beer was good.

This place has sooo much potential but lacks the management and support necessary to provide a pleasant experience. The wait staff was was either understaffed or just incompetent. We were seated immediately, but waited for everything after that. We ordered 5 minutes after we arrived. We didn't receive our appetizers for 30 minutes. We didn't get refills on our drinks until the appetizers were delivered. We did ask the server for refills, but he never notified our waiter. Our food didn't arrive for almost 30 minutes later. The Mahi was cold, the chicken was over fried and had no flavor. I overheard several tables commenting to management about the long delays in getting their meals. If you're trying to get a timely meal. This is not the place. Cold tasteless food and overpriced menu, poor service. Don't waste your time, more importantly your money. read more

Horrible! Ordered a fresh watermelon martini and it came out with some type of mixer that didn't even taste close to watermelon, definitely not fresh watermelon. Most waiters were not wearing their masks correctly and the tables were not 6 feet apart. Left before ordering food but on the way out looked at some food on tables and the hamburgers looked terrible! read more

We stopped in on a lark and had a great meal at the bar with Josh. The mahi sandwich was very good! Glad we found this place.

Always a fun atmosphere at the bar. Bar tenders are very efficient and the drinks are always good. I would recommend avoiding the sushi but the mussels and oysters were very good. read more

We sat at the bar due to long wait,but it was clear not all tables were being used Service at bar was great but food was poor The medium rare ribeye sandwich came well done The heirloom tomato salad was great except the tomatoes were not heirlooms! read more

I have been twice, and both times for lunch on a Saturday. The first time they were packed, the 2 time only half full, probably because it was raining. The service was very good both times- attentive, but not overbearing either. I was in a party of 4, and of 6 the second time. The short rib sliders were very good, but I like a spicier cole slaw. The Shrimp Po Boy was seasoned and cooked perfectly, and the bread was soft, which is prefer in a sandwich to the baguet. Bloody Mary was great. Everyone enjoyed the food, service, and view. I have read where people complain about the prices, well, when you're eating food made from scratch it costs more. The place isn't Applebee's after all. I for one will return and recommend. read more

The view, food, drinks, staff, environment, etc is just perfect. This is my go to place when friends and family come to town to relax, talk, drink, eat, and enjoy the view. read more
