Neighborhood gem

The waterfront ambiance of the Boathouse on Naples Bay is as enticing as the food and at the heart of Naples’ history. Spectacular views, great food, friendly seasoned staff, and a very relaxed attitude.

Loved it!!We enjoyed the grouper with cilantro -lime aioli sauce the seafood combo, both superb . Caesar salad was excellent too. The crème brûlée cheesecake was to die for. Service and ambiance was excellent, so pretty and the music choice was great (Bob Marley 💕). Can’t wait to return !

Are waiter was fine. Not outstanding by any means. The food was just OK. I had blackened salmon on salad and it was too heavy on the spices. My friend really enjoyed her clam melt and her brother really enjoyed his grouper sandwich. The bread is stale and we were at lunch the other day with a group of ladies and the bread was stale. Thank you very much.

We historically love The Boathouse and go several times each season but last night’s experience was a bit disappointing. First, we had an outdoor reservation but were seated indoors without any notice, apology, etc. The host ran away before I could even say anything because my elderly parents were in between the host and me. Second, we were seated two on each side of a square table which was awkward because there was too much space been each side. Third, the house salad was uninspiring and looked like “bag salad.” Fourth, the bread came out long after our salads, Fifth, the prime rib was excellent but the baked potato was cold. Lastly, I’m not too keen on the new a la carte menu pricing strategy but at least the side we’re reasonably priced. We plan to go back but I sure hope outdoor (vs indoor) reservations are honored in the future.

We thought it was under staffed and overpriced. Had to ask for things multiple times and never got the items. Very disappointing.
