Very nice atmosphere and staff! The food is excellent however their mozzarella cheese on the pizza…read moreneeds to be upgraded to a better quality. It honestly takes a really good pizza from a 8/10 to a 5/10. The mozzarella has that block quality with a little bounce and squeak to the cheese rather than a creamy pull. That's my only complaint. The sauce is nice as well as the toppings and the dough. Crust is thin with a little sag, it's not new haven pizza, no char and not a lot of crunch or blistering. Most items are well portioned and enough to share between at least 2 people if sampling. Caesar salad is enough to share between 2 people if you want to sample the menu. Great lettuce quality and better than most restaurants. It's not the bagged precut garbage with all stalks. They use little gem variety. Fries are shoestring and oh so delicious to snack on. Not an insult, but if you like McDonald's fries, these are even better. IYKYK Meatballs were ok, nothing super special. Nice texture, but not dry. Doesn't really have a fresh flavor. The meat flavor reminded me of a mass produced meatloaf from a diner. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad, but for someone with a very refined palate, I think it needs a little "life" mixed in. The sauce helps that a bit. Cocktails were nicely done. You could taste all the flavors listed in the cocktail. Not overly strong and not weak. Definitely would come back to sample more food. For you native CT and Lakeville natives, be prepared to pay NY prices...

I went on a warm day with friends and sat at the bar. It was a little too crowded. The seats are close together. I loved how the fire house doors were open and you can see outside. As a gardener I did notice that the hydrangeas bushes were not taken care of. I do think things like that matter in a business. I was a little disappointed with the service. I did have to ask for a menu and I also had to get the bartenders attention to place an order. I got fries and pizza and they were both really good. I loved how small they cut the slices and how there was rosemary on top of the fries.My mocktail was also delicious!

We ordered a pizza to share (Margherita) since we smelled it on the way in! I got the Frutti di mare entree and my fiancé got the Texas burger. I got mine with the Diablo sauce which you can choose or get white wine/butter sauce. My dish was packed with seafood over spaghetti. It was delicious!!! It also came with a side salad. There were a few choices - and I went with the Caesar. It came with shaved parm on top which I love when restaurants do this! The pizza was also very good. We were able to box up what we didn't eat and bring it home. Very quaint place with friendly service. A great date night spot.

Although it was 22 months (to the day) since my last visit to The Boathouse, this establishment has…read morebeen very special to me, my friends, and my family for well over a decade. In life, things change. People come and go. Times are different. Outlooks and perspectives are seen from new and unanticipated angles. But feelings always remain. I took my son to dinner last night prior to his departure back to college. The smiles, the warmth, the connection, the feeling of "home" exceeded my expectations after being nervous about being away so long. Were there new faces? Yes. Did I miss some of my friends who are either no longer there, off that night, or attending to other family business? Deeply. The menu is still the standard in the area for a nicer lunch or night out. You can go as accessible as a burger, enjoy a well constructed special, or enjoy really good sushi in Northwestern CT. Everything you may be looking for to meet even the most persnickety pallet or dietary need. Come in jeans. Come in a suit. All the same once inside. Do recipes change? Yes. Does my mind have a tendency to long for the old? Sure does. But The Boathouse, and the people who make it special will always keep me coming back - It feels like "home".

This used to be my go-to place for decades but I've been disappointed of late. Here's my latest…read moreexperience. Half of their menu is Sushi but when we sat down we were told the sushi chef is on vacation. They also told us they were out of sole (even though we were there at 6:15). Those were the two things we wanted. I ordered the baby lamb chops and said I wanted them "cooked through, no red." When the order came, not only was there a tiny portion (FOR $52), it came rare. I pointed this out to the waitress and she said "yes, I saw that when I brought it out." Why she didn't do something in the kitchen was beyond me. She took it back and I sat there while the rest of my group ate. I spent $160 on dinner for two and was not happy. The previous time I was there I ordered the sole almondine and was all dried out. It's a lovely venue but needs improvement and better management.

For our wedding anniversary, we traveled across the river to Annarellas Ristorante on 276 Malden…read moreTurnpike in Saugerties We arrived early as we were traveling about an hour away and we're aware there were many detours as the Malden Bridge is undergoing repairs.  I'd read about Annarellas prior to this, and based on glowing reviews chose this to mark 50 years together, 39 as husband and wife...long engagement! We were not disappointed. We were seated promptly by our lovely hostess, and Shaun immediately came over to recite specials and to take our orders. He was attentive and we knew we were in good hands! We started with the Dr. Fox Cocktail: Angostura bitters, Bulleit Rye, Apple Liqueur, Dry Curacao, and Sweet Vermouth, which was perfect. It was accompanied by a hummus trio to spread on the bread. There was also a delicious foccacio. Next we were served a perfect salad, delicately dressed, and what made the salad so delightful was that the lettuce was torn into manageable pieces. A pet peeve of mine is large lettuce leaves that are difficult to wrangle, and this was not the case here. There were also tiny bits of cauliflower that gave the salad a nice texture and crunch.  I had the Stuffed Artichoke and my husband had Shrimp Gamberi on an Arugula salad. Both were substantial and beautifully seasoned. We had two glasses of an Argentine Tomero Malbec. It was a generous pour. For the main course, I had Polla al Limone (Lemon Chicken) over spinach. A simple dish done well. My husband had the Halibut special, a classic Mediterranean baked halibut with tomatoes, capers, and olives. So good that he finished it all...a rarity for him. (The halibut was pricey and it would be appreciated if the price was mentioned when the specials were gone over. Perhaps we should have asked.) We finished with a Sorbetto al Lampone, a tart raspberry sorbet in a dark chocolate shell and sliced.  And as we left, our sweet hostess brought over Lucianno, the most adorable puppy, to send us off with puppy kisses! We definitely will be back...especially for the wild boar ragu over pappadelles. One nitpicking observation. The entrance to the restaurant was a tad shabby. We mistook it for the service entrance. It needs to be spruced up to match the superb food inside!

Ima keep ranting about this part of New York. This area really don't got a lot of good flavor. And…read morewhat I mean by that, like the cooking just ain't cooking for most of these spots. And idk what it is, it could be just the local folks don't got that much flavor in their taste buds and they the anti-City folk type so most of the businesses just lack in that field. With that said... this was a pretty decent Italian spot I will say WITH that consideration in mind. I did have the ravioli with slow cooked carne inside and that was delicious. My wife got the lasagna and... it was iiiitte. Family next to us were raving about it and like they were nice and we were being polite. But like let's be real here - it tasted like Stouffer's. Not that it's a knock, but at that point, you paying for the atmosphere. Which I will say the indoors is nice. You can have a nice date night or family outing here. There's a bar and plenty of parking. The service was on point and very accommodating with our new born. Who we were chopping it up with our waiter, and found out the owner's name is also the same as our kid so that was fun talking with them on. The garlic bread - idk if it's supposed to come cold, but it had like tomato sauce on it, it was like the complimentary bread with some extra shit on it. But I wasn't feeling that, but my inner Italian side just kept dipping it in my red, and it was all good. I'm glad we came here but probably won't be back if given the chance. But we looked around, and it seemed like to be the only viable Italian restaurant in the area so, if given under the same conditions, we would be back lol. I just went back and forth there like 3 times. Is that non-Ai enough of a review for you Yelp? After they flagged me for actually structuring and editing my reviews like in old school English class. Now yelp is promoting "Yelp Assistant" even though it's Ai. Gtfo here lmao

Sadly, Taro's seems to be under new ownership - and the quality and service have both declined. We…read moreordered the lasagna special and ravioli special. The ravioli was excellent, but the lasagna was messy and was essentially a pile of cheese and pasta. While it was ok, the appearance was yukky. The service was weird. There were only two staff in the dining area, one woman (who vibed owner/manager) and her mom. Mom spoke only Spanish (which is fine with us - we're both fluent), and had no idea what was on the menu, what the restaurant served -- nada. Owner/manager was clearly flustered by the task of waiting and running the takeout. We'll try Taro's again in a few months and give them a chance to get their act together.

We then enjoyed two pastas, both of which were great. The squid ink pasta with scallops was tasty as was the bucatini (especially loved the thin slices of guanciale it came with).

Don't know how they got such an amazing whipped texture. I recommend making a reservation if you can. We walked in on a Friday night around 7pm without one as a party of two and just got the last two seats at the bar. Can't wait to return!

Walking through the restaurant it was very dark - I understand wanting a romantic ambience but this was too dark. We opted to sit outdoors which was lovely - a beautiful evening. Our server was very nice but there was some confusion about our beer order. My husband told her what he wanted, but then told her he wanted it with his meal. She said it was ordered already (goes directly from her portal to the bartender) so it is probably on the bar waiting for her. She brought it to us right away because she didn't want it to get warm on the bar, but then it sat outside and got warm while we waited an extraordinarily long time for our meal. I know that the website says everything is made to order and takes a while but this seemed like way too long. Then when it arrived the lasagne that my husband had was very dark on top as if it was burned - like it had been reheated under a burner. My eggplant lasagne was delicious. No complaints there. And our Siberatas salad was very good. I would like to go back and give it another try since everyone else seems to have a good experience.
