    Great location and view! The Parker Rolls are really good (order them as soon as you get there!), so was our Spinach Salad and Butternut Squash Soup. Hamburger was just okay, but the fries were really good. Friendly service.

    Lunch for our party of 10 was beautiful and delicious. Service was excellent and everything was tasty. Christmas music added a magical touch to a great experience.

    Fabulous lunch. Prices of wines are unbelievable as with the whole of New York. Nothing at all under $60 then add tax and 20% service and its around £100 a bottle of ordinary wine! The Boathouse only adds a standard 15% service so all credit to them. The member of staff was really talkative and he was trying to be nice, but it was overpowering
