Was in town recently on business and we were looking for a place to sit and relax, with table service. Not kiosk food, which is everywhere now. With my workmate having a preference for Asian inspired cuisine, Boathouse seemed like a good choice. It did not disappoint.
The service albeit slow, was consistent and professional. The slowness played to our favor, but some of the other reviews it was obviously an issue. Yes, the service tends to be slow by comparison.
Once we got going, and food started arriving at our table, it turned into a very good leisurely meal over about two and a half hours.
Fresh sushi and seafood are abundant on the menu, along with special dishes of spare ribs and even roast duck. Starting with the blackended Edamame, its spicy and quite tasty. Then a couple different rolls, along with some hamachi and chu toro, all were very fresh and flavorful. The crunchy tiger shrimp roll was exceptional.
We next moved to the spare ribs and an order of the roast duck. The garlic Spareribs were very tender and very tasty, a nice smoky bbq style with grilled onions and garlic on a sizzling skillet. Then the roast Duck, roasted golden brown, crunchy skin and tender meat, a portion is enough to share or a stand alond meal. It was good but not as good as the spareribs in my book.
With all the self serve food around now, this was a nice change to sit, relax and enjoy a good leisurely dining experience.
4 Stars - yes, the service can be a little slow but the food is worth the little extra time
