    There are a lot of terrible reviews for this restaurant, but I don't think the one and two star ratings are warranted. Service is a little lackluster (it took us almost 10 minutes to get seated on a slow Tuesday afternoon). Food is fine but not gourmet (our buckhorn sandwich was under salted and a tad bland, though improved with mustard). And the setting is not as "waterside" as I expected (technically you can see the water from a couple of tables on the patio, but the water is pretty far away and mostly obscured by trees in the summer). All that being said, once our waitress noticed us, the service was quick, and the food was inoffensive, which is three stars in my book (and for the record I consider myself a pretty tough critic). They also have a nice area where you can play Cornhole and rings while you wait, and dogs are allowed on the patio.

    Great service - staff were attentive and our food was bought to the table quick. We ordered fried calamari appetizer, Wally sliders, fish & chips, and two beers. Calamari was amazingly delicious with the pickled peppers. The Wally sliders and fish & chips were good and portions were just right. Best of all, The Boathouse Restaurant is dog friendly!

    My husband and I stopped at The Boat House, Hawley PA, for a late lunch today. This is one of our favorite venues in the area since it consistently offers great food and service. Julie was our server today who was very efficient and always with a smile. We both ordered the Buckhorn sandwich (with coleslaw sides) which as always was absolutely delicious. This restaurant is just a lovely venue, inside and out. The outdoor covered porch has ceiling fans to keep you cool and help keep the bugs away. You won't be disappointed stopping at the Boat House for lunch or dinner!

    CAUTION MENU CHANGE!!!!!!!! We've had a house up here at the Lake for 20 years. This was our favorite restaurant we would frequent 9-10 times a year. We will never return!!! If something isn't broken, you don't fix it. The new menu is absolutely terrible and crazy expensive. App of Calamari-17.00 all breadcrumb, no calamari Chicken Parm- 29.00 This one is the best... chicken n waffles witch is a chicken finger on a waffle with syrup......24.00 We asked our waitress about the new menu and she said because the restaurant is called the boathouse, they wanted to put more seafood on the menu. No one cares what the name of your restaurant is. We only care if your food is good and reasonably priced. It sure used to be. RIP Boat house we will miss you dearly.

    Ask the Community - The Boathouse

    Is there Boat parking/docking for lunch?

    Yes, but only a couple available for boathouse customers.

    Quality of food and service?

    Service is good, food is inconsistent, one time I went there and loved it and the second time I wanted to puke.

    Had a chance to finally try the place out. Walked in and wasn't greeted...finally got the counter…read moreperson to look at me. She pointed to my takeout. Had the Asian salad. The salad itself wasn't bad. I enjoyed the dressing. The chicken was mediocre at best. No seasoning on the chicken and it was a little rubbery. My vegetarian daughter might have rated it higher as she doesn't eat meat. Who knows. I would like to try to place an order in person and see if the experience is any different.

    I've gone here about a dozen times and I haven't written a review because I'm still not over that…read morethis place took over for the mermaid café, which was my favorite place in the area. However they do deserve a five star rating because they are offering something different compared to any other place in Catskill. The place is called "The salad bar" however their sandwiches are just as good if not better than the salad. The ingredients are always fresh and I've never been disappointed. Prices are fair considering the quality and overall we need more places that are different and unique like this in the village. They have small cozy area for you to chill and enjoy your meal and the service is always quick and friendly. Many of the towns in the Hudson Valley have been revitalizing their downtown areas with great success but Catskill Village seems to be moving a lot slower compared to those other areas. The salad bar is one of those places that's helping it move forward.
