We had this experience as well, and avoided returning for a number of years as a consequence. We decided to give them another chance in January, and we’re happy that we did. Food and service both met expctations consistent with the prices we paid. We preceded dinner with a shared appetizer and drinks at Jock Lindsey’s Hanger Bar, in case we were again disappointed with the Boathouse. In the end, the combination made for a very nice evening.We were there not long after they opened and honestly was less then impressed with the food and service.
