Brunch today (11/24) was perfect. Our server, Alex, provided excellent service. The food at the buffet was hot and fresh. The drinks we ordered were good and the music was also good and not too loud. We enjoyed watching all the boats go by. We will definitely return.

This was our first visit back to the Boatyard since its remodel and it did not disappoint. There was a mix up in our reservation and our table was given away but the manager, Sam, quickly took care of it and treated us extremely well. We had an excellent server who described the dishes very well and made great suggestions. Drinks were delicious. We look forward to our next dinner there.

We had dinner and sat outside by the water. The ambiance was wonderful. The weather that night was perfect. Service was great and the food outstanding. My friend and I each had the half chicken and that was, by far, the best I've ever had. And I took half of it home there was so much food! Would definitely go back.
