The Boat - Mindarie

Sunny day and busy busy over the holiday season. Good atmosphere and good service. Loved the Laksa. Spicy though . Barramundi tacos were good. It’s a nice place to sit around and have a drink. A well balanced menu. I’m happy to return .

Popped in for refreshments today whilst visiting from NZ a great choice. We sat under a shady tree close to water, our drinks were nice and cold. I would recommend the BOAT Mindarie to discerning diners and traveler’s who want a delightful experience! Arthur C. Charlton west Auckland NZ

The kitchen opens at 11:30 on a weekend and so there is a flurry of orders from hungry patrons. Unfortunately it is one of those oreder via QR code establishments so already on a minor grievance. The food itself takes a bit of time to get out and we were perplexed given other tables that arrived after us got their orders first, thinking the order didn't go through as there was no way on confirming. When it did come, the food was ok, it wasn't flashy or something to brag about. It was decent and the setting was nice. Inside the restraurant itself was really big and could accommodate alot of people.

Had a great time at The Boat! The food was super tasty and the service was really good too. It’s a bit on the pricey side, but honestly the view and the chill vibe make it totally worth it. Perfect spot to relax with good food and a drink. Definitely going back 😊

The food has gotten SO MUCH better than it has been for years. Current menu is fantastic. The venue has always been incredible but the food let it down for a long time. So glad to see the vast improvement. Would recommend the garlic prawns, oysters, chili mussels and gochujang chicken, in particular.

What a perfect way to do Christmas in July - Santa was great, the bar staff amazing, the security nicecand friendly andservice with a smile. Christmas dinner and cocktail were delicious and live music just made the day even better. Well done

Actually didn’t make it into the venue as they had trades people working on replacing glass using the disabled bays. Walked into the venue to speak to the manager to see if they were aware and to rectify situation. First words out of his mouth was “this is private property, they need to be close to the venue” as this heated the conversation he then went on to ask “if I was even disabled”. My father is wheelchair bound suffering with late stages of Parkinson’s. But I’d asked them to go ahead while I went into the boat. Absolutely disgraced with the response from the venue. My family has been going to the marina for the last 25 years + accessibility is hard enough as it is, doesn’t need to be made worse by such incompetence and lack of care shown.

Pleasantly surprised at the taste of our food - everything we ordered was delicious. Food was served pretty quick after ordering. Service was pretty good. Happy to come back again. Went on a Saturday night and they had live music too.
