We had a great time here. The salmon were jumping out of the water. The view was perfect. The staff were really friendly. Lots of different food to choose from. When we are up again we will be there. read more

The Sackets Boathouse - The view from the back patio - New American Near Me - Sackets Harbor, New York

We had our son's rehearsal dinner at The Sackets Boathouse and it was absolutely wonderful. From the planning, to the service, to the food, everything was top notch. Our guests raved about their meals and the beautiful setting. The servers and bartender were extremely attentive and friendly. It was a wonderful evening from start to finish. I would highly recommend them for any event. They went above and beyond to make certain that we were satisfied. PS - The Maryland crab dip was amazing! read more

Great selection of seafood. Menu does need updating- half off bottle of wine on Sunday is no longer available. Service was fast friendly and helpful in making our selections. Best outdoor ambiance in Sackets Harbor - Marina overlook. Perfect after concert dinner with the ones you love. I was a little surprised that 3% was added to my bill for credit. Who pays cash anymore? Don't miss out on this great restaurant. read more

It was good outdoor seating, nice waiters, and good food. However, hostess was a tad grumpy when we told her are reservation. Burger said it would come with lettuce and tomatoes but didn't. Great for group dinners and outdoor sitting. read more

(Make sure it's open because it's only a seasonal restaurant!). This is a great choice for Sackets Harbor. The fish is really fresh and the service is great. Friendly and very attentive. The view of the harbor is beautiful. Highly recommend! read more

Service: I asked for a two top outside. The hostess said all of the lakeside outdoor seating was occupied. I requested to sit in the front where they had corn hole and comfy patio furniture, all of which was empty, clean, open, etc. The hostess said people do not sit there. Surprised by the response I asked sarcastically if they were just decorative seating. She said no and allowed us to sit outside. Cocktails: We ordered two margaritas, one guava, the other strawberry rhubarb. The cocktails did not taste like these fruits. And they were so saccharine, I added 16oz of water, a full pint to the drink, yet it was still too sweet. It was abhorrent. Still gave 2 stars for the ambiance. read more

Six of us went out to share and celebrate our friends anniversary. The appetizers and dinner was delicious! The staff made our experience and absolute pleasure! read more

I have not been back here in quite a few years due to the food being just so-so. A friend wanted to go so we went for dinner. Based on what I tried it was okay, nothing spectacular food wise not still good. What is really good about this place is the view and I think that is what keeps people coming back! My friend had the following and enjoyed them all: The French onion soup (looked and smelled delicious) the crab cakes and a Cesar salad. I had the special of the day which was a cod with pesto and tomatoes and spinach over orzo. It was prepared very well. read more

My fiancé and I went on our 5 year anniversary dinner there. We are from VA and come to Sackets every year when we go out for a night of wining and dining while visiting my cottage in Dexter. Our server was great and I am sorry I can remember his name. He was tall, athletic build, light brown hair. He started us off with 2 lemon drop shots from the bar that were great. It started to rain so we had to come into the bar and even though he was busy, he didn't miss a beat with our meals or the experience. My fiancé had the shrimp pasta and I had the butchers cut special. Everything was delicious. Thank you for a nice meal and a fun time for our anniversary. See you next year! read more

The ambience of this casual dock dining location is relaxing and peaceful. With a cold beer in hand, it doesn't get much better than this! Beautiful sailboats, cool gentle breeze and female mallards swimming add to the experience. I started with the Floating Island soup. This is a classic French Onion soup with a "floating island" of a crostini, topped with melted provolone, Swiss, and Parmesan cheeses. My favorite of the meal. Additionally, I had the Vermont Salad - a mix of greens, berries, candied walnuts, grated carrots, red onions, crumbled goat cheese and finished with a berry vinaigrette. The salad greens were not fresh, and the salad was disappointing. A+ venue, food C+ = 4 stars read more

For many years, this was our favorite restaurant in the area, but we were disappointed this year. We went there a couple of days ago, and the fish tacos were mediocre. My wife had fish and chips and said that it was greasy, and mostly batter. There's not a green vegetable anywhere on the menu. I hope they go back to a restaurant, instead of just a "bar serving bar food," unless that's what they're going for. In that case, we're out. read more

So we were hoping 3rd time would be the charm. Two stars for the ambience. Service has always been slow but this experience was strange. Ordered our drinks after waiting a bit for the server. Since we had her, we ordered our appetizers only to find out they don't do the Spinach and Artichoke dip in the summer because the oven makes the kitchen to hot. Which is odd because I'm assuming they use the oven to cook other things too? Wouldn't it be possible to warm up spin-dip other ways? How big is this oven? So many questions... Ordered the coconut shrimp which was good and the house chips with Chipotle dip which was good but not worth the money at all. No small dishes to make sharing easier. Apps arrived about 10 min before the drinks did. Which at that point we decided to not eat dinner here and try the place next store instead. This is our 3rd try here and each time has been a weird, not great experience. I feel like all these reviews are pretty accurate compared to our experience. read more

The salmon was lovely and Tyler was friendly. The view of the ocean was lovely and service was prompt read more

The servers took a bit which I'm used to in this area but longer than I thought most places take the food was okay fresh fish absolutely the ambience is beautiful and it seems to be a local spot I would deter you from coming but don't expect quick service read more

I went there for lunch today and had the Caesar chicken wrap, which was very good. It was also nice to see they poured a decent glass of wine as last year. It looked like we had two sips and the wine was gone. I've had their fish there which is also good and they make great cocktails. read more

We had a great table being seated out on the deck. Our waitress was very friendly and did a great job.

if your looking for night out in historic sackets harbor this is the place to go! The boathouse never misses a beat when it comes to dining and Entertainment I have been going here for years every weekend they have the top bands in the northern New York come and play every weekend !!! Their menu is great especially the steak ! the management always finds a way to make you feel like a local constantly checking in and making sure that you have the best time when you walk through there doors read more

I have never had more amazing service from Brandy and Malia. They are so professional and attentive. This is by far my favorite bar that I've been to in upper NY. read more

was there Thursday this week 8/30 got a glass of wine was so small like two sips and the waitress Malia said I'm sorry but that's how we have to serve it As she was also the bartender rude as all hell attitude and said I'm a manager also you could tell she thinks she is all that with ooo manager to her title. So I asked to talk to the general manager and she said she is always in a bad mood you should talk to me I said no I'll talk to her what is her name she said Brandy wow what a peach she was so rude could tell she didn't want to be there and Malia has the same attitude as her. This place has totally gone down hill in the last two years with Brandy and her manager Malia. But i do have to say the food was great and I hope they get two new managers Next year read more

Went on weeknight, made a reservation in case they were busy. They weren't but the hostess said it's a good idea as some evenings are busy. Sat outside and it was lovely. Food was good. Drinks were awesome. Will be back. read more

Ok place, nice view on the water...no more shops opened...all closed at5pmexcept bars and restaurants...we ordered specialty cocktails... were pretty good, ordered a snack, shrimp cocktail, 4 pieces. Waitress was nice, drinks were fine, but, served shrimp with no napkins, plates or silverware, no lemon...it was quiet, except for the conversation at the end of the bar about a prominent local business owner, that was being bashed....so, I guess be careful who you are talking about around customers present...cause most of the info was not accurate. read more

Great view and service. My husband had the catch of the day meal and he enjoyed it. I had the grilled chicken caesar wrap. Very good. Drinks were great too! read more

I am kind of sad to write this review, last year I went to Boathouse at least once or twice a week and I have absolutely loved it. It's probably one of my favorite restaurants in the area in the summer, but today I went, and I couldn't believe how pricey it was for what we got And the food was very greasy. I couldn't even eat it all , I was very disappointed, $57 for two sandwiches and a drink is pretty pricey. As far as I'm concerned!! I know all the restaurants have raised their prices but they're also charging a surcharge now if you use a credit card and don't have cash , it's just too bad because the place is right on the water and a lovely place to go in the summertime , I hope they will take this review into consideration and do better! read more

We enjoy and frequent The Boat House every summer. Tonight we were pleasantly surprised with a new menu, full of a lot of new choices. Everything we tried was fantastic! One word of warning. it's very enticing to sit in the table by the water however the gulls were ridiculous tonight stealing food if you weren't careful. read more

It was my first time here with my brother and his wife. The service is definitely slow, understandable with post covid, but our waitress was a drop and run person. She did ask "Is everything ok? Good!" Answered her own question not giving anyone a chance to answer before she left. My brother ordered the fried fish dinner based on the plates 2 tables on either side of us had, at $23. When his arrived, it was less than 1/2 the size in length and thickness, as those at the other tables. Apparently, he got the last available piece of fish, as others were told it was no longer available. I think they should have informed him that he would be receiving a child's portion and if he would like to order something else. When he immediately brought it to the servers attention, she simply said fish comes it different sizes. And quickly off she went. I'm sure restaurants typically have continuity in the dishes they serve. I noticed that other tables had a different server who actually spent time conversing with the customer. A poor server can ruin a restaurant. I would return to this establishment knowing that if I had a different server, they would have at least tried to make this right. I didn't even see our server as she literally dropped things and left. She spent seconds at our table from a distance. Another pleasant young lady refilled our drinks. read more

for the price food could be better, my fried fish was soggy, my kids burger was on a hard bun. The amount you pay for a seafood boil and get 3 pieces of shrimp, the pickle fries were stuck together and so thin it was mainly crumbs. 2 star for the views, but that was pretty much ruined cause we had to keep smacking and shooing bees away! ‍ read more

We own a camp at Pillar Point and have frequently eaten at the Boathouse and have thoroughly enjoyed the view and the food. But the last two times we had poor service. We had the salad with crab legs for dinner. The salad seemed like it had simply been gotten from a bag. There was nothing fresh about it. The bill came out to $70 and we will not be going back there again. read more

Great view right on the water, lots of seating (outside and inside), and great service. The food was good but nothing that overly stood out to us. read more

We recently visited and were very disappointed with our experience. We read great reviews on google but unfortunately we didn't agree. Our server was inattentive and the food wasn't worth the prices. We sat outside but eventually moved inside because there were seven yellow-jackets on our table. read more

Beautiful spot in SH for lunch or dinner. Good food & friendly service.This is an annual summer stop for our family.

Love the patio . Good food and drinks. Service was great and personable. We will be back again

Special was expensive for what it was. Unfortunately strip steak was tough with mashed potatoes and only 3 asparagus it was a disappointment. read more

This restaurant says it specializes in seafood but there is only a limited number of seafood items on the menu. Nothing with seafood only. Only with pasta... tables had many of files inside... not impressed. Bathroom could use a revamping as well.... read more

Hands down the worst experience I have had. If I could give it a worse rating I would. Waited for our food for over an hour and when it arrived my food wasn't even edible. Ordered the shrimp pasta, the noodles were so over cooked that some were even burnt and turned brown. It was swimming in a pool of oil with zero taste. One of the other guests at the table was given the wrong food. Honestly I could have managed all of that but what set it over the edge was when I spoke with the owner. He took zero responsibility for the poor food. He offered to buy a round of drinks to compensate, however why would I want to stay and drink after such a horrible experience? It felt as though he could care less and even tried to blame it entirely on our server rather than the cooks and the establishment as a whole. Not that our server did well anyway... Completely unprepared for a holiday weekend and if the owner was that unbothered by a well paying guests concerns why would you even bother!? I might add we already purchased two cocktails and a entire bottle of champagne. Horrible food and zero manners by staff. PLEASE GO ANYWHERE BUT HERE!! read more

Nice restaurant but very expensive. The outdoor tables are the best. There is a great view of the marina and lake.

We were so disappointed that the food and drinks were not good because the outdoor deck is beautiful to sit on! We made a reservation and were seated on time. The amount of seagulls grabbing peoples dinner straight off of their plates was wild! Of course this isn't the restaurants fault but it didn't seem like they did much to prevent this at al. We got the chips appetizer and were really disappointed. They were good but $6 for chips and a small cup of aioli is just insane! The food was bland and flavorless. The drinks had no alcohol in it and they were out of most beers and ciders! I do not think we will go back. The restaurant was not busy at all and the service was so slow. We waited 25 minutes to get our check. Next time we plan to eat at Goodfellos and just go walk over by the water instead. read more

tasty cocktails but the food was subpar in my opinion. the price of the crab cakes was a little ridiculous since it only comes with two cakes, the fish tacos were soggy, and the taco shell was stale. i'll definitely be coming back because the view is hard to beat, but most likely just for cocktails. read more

Had lunch here on a quiet afternoon. We wanted to sit by the water and the location is great for that. Unfortunately the food wasn't as good as the view We shared the clam strip "small plate". The clam strips were a nice size but weirdly slimy in the middle. I've never had fried clams like that and was concerned about the quality so we decided to save our appetites for our main dishes. My husband had the chicken sandwich with caramelize onions. It was pretty good and came with nice home made chips. I had the wedge salad which wasn't remarkable. The waitress was very nice. She recommended the Mango Cart wheat ale which was delicious. Great choice but not a good enough reason to go back. read more
