We started with the French onion soup that was piping hot and loaded with cheese and chicken wings that were rather bland even with the Buffalo sauce. My wife ordered the coconut crusted Mahi Mahi and served with a potato pancake with a darkened coating. I opted for the Mac and cheese that was loaded with chunks of lobster. Both dishes were huge, seasoned and cooked perfectly. Great service and good cocktails make this a place you want to back to and try some of the other dishes on their extensive menu. A note to all going this time of year, dress for the outdoors as there was no heat on our visit.

They need to know what good Mexican food is... Even the Sangria was not very good! Geez.... The food was rather tasteless and not very authentic. I found nothing redeeming about this place... If you want good Mexican food - this is not the place todine.

In years past, the Boathouse was our "go to" dinner destination and we happily dined at least once a week on the deck. We finally had a chance to go this season and were extremely disappointed. The service was terrible, the server was slamming plates on the tables, our drinks were never refilled and we had to beg for the check b/c the server never came back after dropping off the food. If the place was busy, I could possibly understand it, but there were a total of 6 tables on the deck and 3 servers wandering around. The food took forever and was mediocre at best - a far cry from what we came to expect from years of dining at the Boathouse. The only bright spot was the view and the always cheerful hostess. Sadly, it will be a long time before we come back, if ever.Chrissie,We are so sorry to hear that your visit was so subpar. We are truly surprised as this time of year has our most experienced staff and I would like to hear more offline about your experience. Please feel free to contact either myself or my wife Kathy at the restaurant so we can hear your story and perhaps give you a special opportunity to give us another chance and set things right. We work hard everyday to provide a special experience, when we fall short, we want to learn from it. Have a great day and we hope to hear from you.Brian and Kathy Donovan

When my daughter and her fiancé asked to go to The People's Pub for dinner on a Saturday night, I knew it might be crowded, so I called to ask about a reservation. Having been there twice before I knew the place was small, but I was told they didn't accept reservations. We decided to go early to avoid a long wait. When we arrived, I was pleased to see no line, many open seats at the bar, and lots of empty tables. Nevertheless, we waited five minutes before the host came to the greeters station. When I asked for a table for four for dinner, I was told there would be a 15-minute wait. "But you have lots of empty tables. We still have to wait?" I protested.  âYes,â I was told, and he offered to put our names on a list, which he created on the spot. While we cooled our heels at the bar, I watched as he went to the back of the bar and made at least one phone call.  Also, during our wait many people came in, bypassed the greeters station and went to tables in the dining area. After about 20 minutes we finally got table. The food was good and the wait service was courteous and efficient, but my advice to customers who choose to patronize this restaurant is to expect to wait no matter when you go, unless, of course, you are among those who have a special relationship with the host that gives you priority seating. Apparently not all people are equal at The People's Pub.

Donât get through here often it 3 hrs from home. But what a great find you can get a decent burger or a decent chicken sandwich any ol where but this grilled chicken sandwich with oregano and mushrooms was above board and a great pleasure to come across my friend had the coconut shrimp and was very happy and the ladies opted To go with the fried chicken sandwich with bacon strips on top Hey anything with bacon had my vote lol one of the ladies is always picky finding something to dislike great job to staff and chef she had nothing to say which speaks volumes A tip of my hat to this establishment it explains its longevity Thanks Patrick C, we hope to serve you again soon!

The chef & owner (a former chef at Chathamâs Blue Plate restaurant), opened Magdalenaâs in Valatie, a Mexican restaurant, before opening the Chatham Grill in 2016. The Chatham Grill is a casual looking restaurant, but the food is a cut above. While there are Mexican options, like a burrito & quesadilla, on the lunch menu, they also have salads, sandwiches, burgers, meatloaf, grilled salmon, etc. My friend enjoyed the soup special, roasted corn & avocado gazpacho, plus a crab cake appetizer while I enjoyed my lunch special as well. If I lived closer, I think I'd come more often...

We stopped here for dinner. The place was 75% busy. We sat near the bar at the high top tables, the other room has comfy chairs and coffee tables to eat from along with a nice fireplace for added ambiance. Our waitstaff was friendly and attentive. Our food was very tasty! We ordered the Shepardâs Pie special and a burger with fries. Itâs a great place and we will be stoping here again!

Staff, food, cleanliness, atmosphere - all great. Best local joint in the county. Love the farm to table atmosphere. Gunther the owner does it right here. Try his Tierra farms as well.
