Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in South Orlando

Wait time was very short thanks to having a reservation but people without reservation didn’t wait long either. The booth was nice and spacious, lighting was perfectly dim but was still able to read menu & eat. Our server was amazing and everything me & my husband ordered (which was a lot) was absolutely delicious. My husband is the worst critic and he even thought the food was amazing. Baby blue cosmo was great, I would had 3 but I was saving room for dessert lol would definitely go back, maybe even bring the kids since it was very family friendly.

Everything was great. Highly recommend. Food was excellent.

First time here and it did not disappoint. Even my wife who refuses to try different cuisines enjoyed it, even said that we will need to come back. The lamb shanks were so tender, and the flavors were great. Definitely will be back.

We got the lobster bisque and truffle fries to start. I LOVED the lobster bisque so much! We had never had fries cooked in truffle oil before so the flavor was weird, but they were yummy and crunchy. The bread was hot and fluffy! My boyfriend had the Elk filet, and he loved it! He said it was delicious and tender, and the mushrooms he added to it were juicy and flavorful. I has the filet wellington, and it came with parmesan mashed potatoes and asparagus. It was everything I dreamed it would be when I searched the menu and picked it before we even arrived. The pastry was super light and flaky and the filet just melted through with each cut. It comes with a sauce that they pour over it for you. Everything on my plate was high class and definitely worth it. The only thing I can say is that parking was hard to find, but that was because there was an event happening up the road, and the roads were blocked. Also, this wasn't a big deal for us, but the regular filets like a sirloin, ribeye, filet mignon or the elk filet do not come with sides. Just a heads up about that. Great place though! Highly recommend for a small celebration or girls nights.

Wonderful dining experience. We met the Manager, Scott who was the nicest, friendliest person who went above and beyond to make our dinner so very special. You see....we lost our precious daughter, Jenna 20 months ago. It was sudden and traumatic. The Boathouse and the Fillet Mignon sliders were here favorite. Her last birthday Orlando celebration in February 2023 was so special. We lost her suddenly in June 2023. We live on Long Island, we visit 3 to 4 times per year and T.J. has always taken care of us. Thank you to the staff at Tje Boathouse, T.J. and Scott for helping us through our grief at Jenna's favorite restaurant. You help to heal my heart! Sincerely, Jayne Hudson💜💜💜
