Have heard wonderful things about The Boathouse, so decided to do brunch here. Service was fabulous! Everyone was very friendly and helpful! The atmosphere was fun, it was the Captain's Sing Along Brunch, tunes were plentiful! The food was so good and so much of it! I had the steak and eggs and the steak was cooked to perfect medium rare! We had the Lucky Dux oysters that are grown and harvested exclusively for The Boathouse. So good, clean, no grit you get with oysters and just so good. Will definitely be heading back there again.

Everytime I come here I am wowed. Ever since I had this cocktail-the strawberry gin fizz, about a month ago, I cannot stop thinking about it. It's perfectly balanced, sweet and fizzy and not an overpowering alcohol flavor. I decided to try something different, and tried the whipped edamame. If you're vegan, this is a great option, or if you're not like me, it's still delicious. The environment is always fairly busy- people moving constantly and a bustling ambiance. However, the incredible food and drinks, and waitstaff make up for the long wait times and large families.

The food was absolutely delicious! My cousins brought us here for our first night in Florida. They had a reservation which was nice because it was so busy, highly recommend. The atmosphere is very family friendly but has a more upscale adult vibe with fine dining experience. The drink options were delicious. We did have a slight hiccup where my drink didn't arrive until the end of my meal even though I ordered it at the beginning. The staff were kind and attentive and compensated the drink for me. It was a delicious cocktail! Would love to try more of their menu on my next visit!

Fun place with great food in a casual atmosphere. This restaurant is a Disney World property located in the Disney Springs area. The menu is varied enough that you can definitely find something to enjoy... it is a seafood restaurant, but I must say that the steak and frites is very good. Reservations are pretty much a must. We, a party of 6, tried to book ahead and could only get a 3:45pm slot for our group. Just call and see what you can get...probably easier for small groups than that. Service was excellent...helpful, and friendly. Would surely return.

Love love this restaurant. It's my typical go-to while in Disney Springs. I've been here a few times and everything I come to this DS, I usually land here. I usually sit at one of the 3 bars ( no kids). I ordered, of course, and expresso martini. Those of you that had read my reviews know it's my go to drink. It's definitely for me the best at Disney Springs (vanilla vodka, liquor 43, Kailua and expresso. A must try. I also ordered a poke tuna..stacks of avocado and tuna with wonton chips and a side of asparagus. This comes with an awesome hollandise sauce. If you have any allergies, the manager on duty will take your order, so may have to wait a bit. Better be safe than sorry. Prices are reasonable for DS. Overall, great experience overall. My servers at the bar were Beau and Patty..thank you for accommodating my requests.

Great quality food! Came here on my trip to Disney World as my friend heard good things about it. I ordered the Grilled Fresh Mahi Sandwich. It was pretty good. The Mahi fish was perfectly grilled and well-seasoned, and I could have eaten it on its own without the bun. The bun was soft and slightly sweet. It also came with fries which were well crisped. They also provide complimentary bread rolls before your meal which were delicious. They were warm, freshly baked, fluffy, sweet, and buttery. They reminded me of Hawaiian buns but a more elevated version. I wish I had the room to eat more! Overall, a wonderful place to come to for seafood and the portions are huge. Our server was excellent often checking in on us. The restaurant is situated near the edge of the lake at Disney Springs, offering a nice view when sitting outside. They also have really cool, aesthetic decor inside great for taking pictures!

This was our first dinner here in Orlando and out of all the exciting places to try in Disney Springs, we were happy we chose the Boathouse! I had a reservation for 5:15pm and we were seated quickly. Our table was inside but we could view outside onto the water and it was a lovely setting. Our waitress was wonderful and very sweet. We ordered a couple drinks and I really liked the Shipwreck cocktail. It reminded me of the Hurricane cocktail from Disneyland's Blue Bayou restaurant. The complimentary bread rolls with butter were so good. I'd honestly come back just for that because the bread was super soft and just melted in your mouth with the butter. I ordered the filet mignon sliders as my main course despite it being an appetizer. Absolutely delicious. The filet mignon was cooked perfectly and was very tender and juicy. There was no sauce or anything on it which I really liked because I got to enjoy the filet mignon flavor more that way. The Mac and cheese was good but not the best. It reminded me of a more elevated velveeta Mac and cheese. I love velveeta but this didn't give gourmet. The truffle fries were good but not as crispy as I'd like. My husband did enjoy his pan-crusted corvina fish. Overall, the ambiance, drinks/food, and service were all pretty amazing and I enjoyed my experience here. Would love to come back again someday!
