Daniel was a great server and he took really good care of us and make sure we were good. Thanks for being a great server Daniel.

Hayden was great! We had a great experience thanks to our waiter! He was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our meal. He checked in just the right amount. His positive attitude and excellent service made our visit even more enjoyable. We will definitely be back! read more

Food and service was great along with a beautiful setting. Levi (waiter) was excellent and very attentive. I highly recommend The Boathouse.

It took a while to get seated, but the staff were nice. Our waiter was attentive and it is not very loud inside, at least when we were there on a Thursday. The food was very good, by the view is the main reason to come here! Little slice of heaven in RVA. read more

I made a reservation at The Boathouse at Sunday Park for my partner's birthday and specifically included a note asking them to help make it a special experience. Unfortunately, it ended up being one of the most disappointing dining experiences we've had. We arrived early and were told we had to wait because tables were being cleaned, despite there being several visibly open tables. Once we were finally seated, our table still hadn't been cleaned and someone had to come wipe it down afterward, which made the wait even more frustrating. No one acknowledged the birthday at all, which honestly makes me question why they even ask about special occasions during the reservation process. The food was also very disappointing, especially the fried oysters and steamed mussels, which had a strong odor that smelled like a dirty sink. I also ordered a diet soda that was completely flat. Between the food quality and drinks, the experience just kept getting worse. On top of that, the service was slow and inattentive throughout. Overall, the experience felt unorganized, unwelcoming, and far below expectations. Will not be returning. read more

I've been to a few boathouse locations. I really enjoyed the midlo location! I went with a friend who has a 1 year old and all the staff were sooooo sweet! Especially with my friends baby! Sometimes bringing babies to fancy restaurants, the staff tends to not like that. My friends child is super well behaved and our staff was great. The ambiance is so gorgeous and it's close to some water if I remember! The parking and how to get to it can be a little confusing but relatively easy to figure out. The food was delicious! I got the crab cake sandwich and a cocktail! read more

Beautiful experience at The Boathouse at Sunday Park! We had such a wonderful time dining here. Our server, Jamie Cole, was warm, attentive, and made us feel perfectly taken care of. We started with the focaccia bread, which was soft, flavorful, and the perfect beginning to our meal. I had the clam chowder, which was rich and comforting, while my friend enjoyed a fresh Caesar salad. For entrées, I ordered the rockfish, and it was absolutely amazing -- perfectly cooked, served over a risotto cake with charred tomatoes and a delicious green sauce (I don't know the name, but it tied everything together beautifully). My friend had the seafood combination -- crab cake, scallops, shrimp, broccolini, and Yukon gold mashed potatoes -- and everything was cooked to perfection. To top it off, the sunset view over the water was breathtaking. Between the setting, the service, and the food, the whole experience felt peaceful and special. We'll definitely be back! read more

We came to The Boathouse on Father's Day and had a great experience. The food was delicious, and everything on the buffet was fantastic. The atmosphere was exactly what we were hoping for, but what really made the day special was our waiter, Levi. Levi was awesome -- he provided some of the best service we've had in a long time. He was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever being overbearing. He really went out of his way to make our Father's Day meal a memorable one. We'll definitely be back to The Boathouse, and hopefully we'll get lucky enough to have Levi as our server again. Thanks, Levi, for helping make a great meal even better! read more

Aniyah was a great server. Enjoyed our brunch so much! Food arrived as ordered and tasted great!

Chris gave us amazing service for brunch! We love The Boathouse and the variety for brunch. Many classic favorites and new innovative items as well like the blueberry lemon ricotta pancakes. Great flavors, food temperature, and overall experience. Is a bit expensive for value at times, but they have a great rewards system for points collection/redemption that helps! read more

Nice setting though they've done everything possible to block water views from the dining rooms. We had good service (Huey) though one of us had a glass of water spilt in their lap...certainly an accident but totally unexpected at what seemed to be a very nice restaurant. The food was abundant and reasonably tasty -- hush puppy appetizer, shrimp tacos with pineapple salsa, clam chowder and focaccia bread; Classic Zookie for dessert (very good!). We'd try it again. read more

Shout out to our amazing waitress Brenda! So my buds and are were in town for the Carmax Christmas run. We met here ....... First time for all of us. Beautiful area. Nestled in the middle of a private community with a lake view. The restaurant is a mix of rustic and elegance. It appeared they had upstairs.... Banquet room as well. Everyone enjoyed their food and drinks and we are all planning on returning. read more

The Boathouse at Sunday Park was the perfect place to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The idyllic venue nestled in the woods overlooks a scenic lake perfectly positioned to take in the sunset. Outdoor seating is a great option, but we chose indoor seating on this beautiful 95+ June day. We were promptly seated at a cozy booth inside. The server warmly congratulated us on our anniversary and let us know that the couple across from us were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. We shared greetings and congratulations with the young couple. Our first choice of wine was not available and our server gave his recommendation for a Boathouse signature red Zinfandel. Although technically reds don't pair with our choices of apps or entrees we most often choose a bold red. The zin went well with our beautifully presented Rockefeller Roasted Oysters and entrees. The oysters were large and succulent. We both ordered from the Chef's Summer Feature menu. My wife chose the broiled seafood combination. Each seafood feature was perfectly seasoned, tender and cooked perfectly. She enjoyed what she couldn't finish the following day. I chose the Double Cut Bourbon Brined Tomahawk Pork Chop. A good thick cut is the only way to enjoy a great pork chop. Exquisitely seasoned, tender and cooked just enough, served with a peach chutney and matchstick fries, one couldn't ask for a better entree. Our server was a memorable part of our experience. His friendly personality and humor was an added bonus to our celebration. The Boathouse at Sunday Park earns my highest recommendation for service, atmosphere, and cuisine. read more

Levi did a tremendous job! We celebrated birthdays and a 56th wedding anniversary. You can't beat this location!

Hubby and I came here for date night on Saturday, we sat outside and the view was amazing. Our server Elijah was the best, he was so attentive and friendly and everything came out super fast. We were there for a little under an hour. I got the painkiller drink(delish) hubby and I split the calamari appetizer and I got the crab and asparagus pizza. My husband got the shrimp taco and loved it. Can't wait to return. read more

Guliana was great. we had outdoor service and 2 toddlers there and the staff was so kind and accommodating to us. shrimp and grits were DELISH and the lemon ricotta pancakes amazing.

Delicious food at the absolutely most beautiful spot on the reservoir. Our server Levi was great and attentive.

Great food and great service, the atmosphere is wonderful and the restaurant looks beautiful on the inside. It was the first time my wife and I have been to this restaurant and we went for our anniversary and we had a great time and gave us a card wishing us a happy anniversary. We had Jacob as our server and he took really good care of us, made sure we had our drinks filled and gave some great recommendations for what drinks and food to order. read more

recently dined at The Boathouse, and while my experience had its ups and downs, I want to start by highlighting the positive aspect of the service. The waitress was incredibly nice and attentive, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite meet my expectations. I ordered an Old-Fashioned, but my cup was off-puttingly dirty on the outside, almost as if it had crusted sugar. It was a bit disappointing, especially when you're looking forward to enjoying a drink. I also tried the grilled Atlantic salmon, which, while colorful, was a bit dry, and the potatoes on the side didn't quite hit the mark. However, the crab artichoke dip appetizer truly saved the day--it was absolutely delicious and a highlight of the meal. Despite the food not living up to my hopes, I must say that the restaurant's view over the water was stunning. It made for a lovely atmosphere and a perfect backdrop for a meal. Overall, I would recommend The Boathouse if you're looking for a picturesque dining experience, but I might suggest exploring other options for the main courses. read more

The food was good. The service was not. First of all we waited about 15 minutes before anyone approached us When she finally came over, she said, 'OH, I didn't know this was my table'. All other tables were being being attended to. There seemed to have a disconnection somewhere. We placed our order and someone .We ordered dessert to go. Some else brought out half of the dessert order. We had to wait for the waitress to tell her we didn't have our complete to go order. She immediately said, 'I know I our it in correctly.' I never said that she didn't. She went to get it and NEVER apologized for the mistake. LaLauni's interaction with the other guests were different than it was with us. The ambiance was nice. I won't waste anymore gas going in that direction. read more

Sunday Park: Who is hiring and managing the bar staff! Ten minutes before being acknowledged. Dropped a menu and wandered off. Only when we gave up waiting and went to order at the bar did the server rush over to take our order. Zero courtesy. Zero eye contact. Both young ladies in the bar lacked social graces and civility one would expect. Better suited to a dive bar at midnight, It burns when the check is preloaded with a tip that defies logic. $20 in tip for two sub par interactions - If ever I return. i'll take my wallet and tips to settle in the dining area so the bar staff learn the hard way over time. Shitty service will cost the bar team. They don't seem to realize people return for good service and they reward it with higher tips. So they rip customers off never to see them again. Dumb ways to go broke. read more

Leevi was a great host and server! We love every experience we have at the Boathouse!

So let's just start with the absolutely beautiful view you have from the bar and outdoor area. That's worth the trip in the first place. Now you bring in a fantastic bartender, great cocktails, and delicious food and you have a perfect venue. I'm down visiting a friend who brought us here, and a we walk in to a busy restaurant but empty bar. Sit down and are immediately greeted by the Bartender, Chris, and told that he's training two new people today. He provides a few recommendations and we start with an orange crush. Now I'm a former bar manager from Maryland (our official state cocktail) so I'm judgey as hell with crushes. PERFECTION. I was pleasantly surprised it had freshly squeezed OJ and a splash of sprite, something everyone fails at. Went to the berry mojito next, which one of the trainees did and I could drink these all day (well, you know ) We split some fried Zucchini with ranch, and Dear Lord they were a perfect pair with the cocktails. This is a MUST try if you're in the area, and management should know how fantastic their bar staff is!! read more

Ohhhhh my goodness. This is definitely the spot. We had a Ladies Only night here and reserved one of the heated igloos. They look cold from the outside looking in but they were so warm and cozy inside. We could see the reservoir from our table, and enjoyed being outside but staying warm. They even had cushions on the seats and cozy throws for us to cover our laps with! They had candles and pretty decor inside with a heater as well. The lamp overhead made a huge difference and kept us warm and the igloo even had a ventilation window in case we got hot (we didn't!). The door is a zippered door with the guests and servers having to unzip and zip to get in or out and the service is amazing!! Xavi was our waitstaff and she was attentive, cheery, and so happy to answer any questions we had. She even showed us a second hidden page of our menus! We thoroughly enjoyed the ambience, the coziness, the food (oh my god it was delicious!!), but most of all, the company. The restaurant really made us feel special! 10/1 recommend the heated igloos before they're gone! read more
