10. The Boathouse Grille

After a beautiful couple of hours on Crane Beach we arrived at the Boathouse Grill around 3:30pm, a Sunday afternoon. Not crowded in the main dining area so we were seated immediately. The bar area did look packed though, football Sunday. The menu is extensive, so much so that deciding on what you want to eat is a challenge, everything looked so appealing. Service was great and efficient. We started with the chowder special of the day which was corn and bacon. My husband ordered it, I did not, when it came I had a taste and it was delicious so I asked our waitress for a bowl. Others got the traditional clam chowder and a side salad. All very good. Be prepared for a ton of food during your main course. All of our dishes were heaping platefuls of food. The fried clam dinner was overflowing with clams, french fries, onion rings and coleslaw. It was nice not to have to order a side of onion rings or fries, having the combo was perfect. The clams were whole bellies and just to my liking, smaller bellies which I prefer. And the breading was not overly greasy. The lobster roll was very good, my friend said but she's had better. The Boathouse bouillabaisse was loaded with seafood, great presentation. The only thing left in the bowl was the broth and empty shells, a big hit. A very enjoyable early dinner out, come hungry!

Good food, courteous staff, fair prices. Full of locals which usually means consistent food quality. We always look for a restaurant with a lot of locals. We had chicken salad and tuna salad. Pretty normal fair. The freshness was noticeable. The chicken salad was homemade. The place was packed for lunch and it was past 2:00 oâclock. An Enjoyable quick meal.

There were four of us for dinner. Here's the story on the food: - Mussels steamed in wine. - Odd taste. - Stuffed lobster - WAY overdone and dry. - Baked Haddock - WAY overdone. - Pastrami Sandwich - Tiny bit of meat, lots of bread. - Hamburger - Average.

We like this place for the wings, the keno, the beer and the owner. He is usually our server when we show up. He remembers what we drink and brings it over as soon as we walk in. Wings are good and the service is above average. A nice local place to start the night.

Went on the positive feedback from a local group. Tired atmosphere, weird music, dirty bathroom. Slaw was very good - the best part of the trip. Fries - McDonalds style - OK, brisket sandwich - plentiful meat but on the dry side - best part was the soft sesame seed roll top. No plans to return.

We arrived for Sunday Brunch on a beautiful morning to a gorgeous property and restaurant, but looks are deceiving. We were seated immediately to a nearly empty restaurant and greeted by our waitress whom stated it was her first day, which I believe. Here's the quick rundown: Waitress - Nice but definitely not well trained, repeatedly claimed the kitchen was "slammed."Service - Excruciatingly slow is an understatement. Plus, we had to ask for EVERYTHING more than once.Food- A joke for the price, and every order was wrong. Our table of four each ordered eggs over easy and they all came out fried. Three customers ordered potatoe hash and received home fries. Not to mention the kitchen must have been rationing the salsa verde.**We pointed out to the waitress that three of her customers ordered potatoe hash, not home fries. She said she would fix it with the kitchen. The waitress returned a short time later, perhaps her quickest return to our table, only to announce that we would be "upcharged" for the replacement. Ridiculous.Manager - This was all pointed out to the manager, who was indifferent to our experience. She also made it clear that the restaurant had only been open a month. Time - We were there for nearly two hours just to have a few drinks, coffee and breakfast. Value - Certainly not worth the $108 for four. In my opinion, this place needs to offer more training to the wait staff, improve the food preparation and hire effective management. Thanks for pointing out the effort and care that's gone into our atmosphere. The north of Boston area is such a beautiful place and we are trying to create a restaurant environment that's just as scenic and peaceful. It sounds like a lot of aspects of your first visit were not up to the standard we're aiming for in terms of food and service. We've been working on training our staff and equipping our managers to help when issues like this arise. We do hope you'll give us another chance. A 1-star review is hard to see but detailed reviews like this really do help us improve, and we'd love the chance to make things right.

Come here every now and then. Good food at reasonable prices and polite wait staff. Menu is not extensive but there is something for everybody. Last night I had their special, Shrimp Rockefeller and it was great. My wife had the Haddock Rockefeller, which was also terrific. Their rice & spinach mixture is also very good. Sunday evening in the dining room is always quite.

Went on a Saturday afternoon in early April. The outdoor seating was in place, but still a little nippy for sitting outside, so we went in. Fairly empty inside.The flights are all pre-chosen per the menu, but the waitress said she'd put a custom one together - but they really didn't have a huge selection we were interested in anyway. No cask ale selection ('cask is broken'!)Quite a limited menu, we split a 'pizza', which turned out to be a flatbread (they should describe it correctly!) which was ok, nothing spectacular, and not filling for 2 people for lunch.

You enter this keen looking facility, the staff are warm, professional, and hard working. Our server Karen was quite diligent in her service to us.They had a special St. Patrick's Day menu; three of our party of four chose from that menu. This writer picked the Bunless Hamburger.Beverages arrived promptly. Now I commend the BT for serving properly brewed iced tea; too many facilities in this area don't. Happy points for the tea.Two of our party ordered the Corned Beef/Cabbage. Mass quantity, thin on the protein. My wife ordered the Guiness Beef Stew, exceptionally thin on the protein, the broth was lacking density and flavour. I doubt it would sell in Galway, Limerick, or Cork.My burger was an excellent piece of protein, appropriately cooked, and quite good. It was served on a conglomeration of vegetables that lacked flavour, the fineness of the meat was not supported by the base. A side salad called "Caesar" was really plain but a strong complement.Prices were reasonable although the tea charged by the glass was a little high; as good as it is.High marks for service, Karen is determinedly proficient. The kitchen had some hits and a few misses.

Fried clams were first rate. Pub burger thick, delicious and cooked to perfection. Grilled chicken sandwich top notch. Interior is dated but in a charming way. Everything was a bit old fashioned which is to say utterly enjoyable. So pleased we CBR. Keep up the good work. A real antidote to todayâs plastic world.
