    It's a season of party and gratitude. I had my birthday party here in August. This was the third time that I dined at boat house. The spicy jumbo lump crab & avocado cocktail was so fresh. The faroe island salmon and Bronzino accompanied by Sancerre were fantastic. We were so lucky to sit by the window and have enjoyed a snow lake view with plenty of sunshine. The restaurant was filled with a warmth of family and holiday mood.

    Visited Quality Meats for a family Christmas Eve dinner. Food was impressive and exceptional in taste. Felt that the dining experience exceeded the dollar value of the meal. We were very well attended to and the service added additional satisfaction to our visit. Will certainly dine again at Quality Meats.
