Ella was the friendliest and most attentive server I’ve ever had. She was patient with our indecisiveness and made great menu suggestions. You could easily tell she enjoys her job and knows the restaurant well. She made my partner’s birthday dinner very special by offering to take pictures of us and bringing out a surprise cake at the perfect timing despite it being a busy Saturday evening. She held great conversation and was very kind and welcoming. We would absolutely come back, and thank you Ella for making the night so special! You deserve all the recognition for the heart and effort you put into your guests and their experience. Wishing you the best! The food was amazing- we had the potato dippers for an appetizer and the flatbread and lemon pepper chicken for entrees. The chocolate cake and cocktails were also phenomenal! When I made the reservation earlier in the month- the host I spoke to was also extremely kind, patient, and went out of her way to accomodate us. We go to a lot of restaurants and have experience in the customer service/food world, and we were both thoroughly impressed all around with the way this restaurant exceeded all our expectations. We will be back!

Had this place on my list of places to visit. It helps to make a reservation, they can get fairly full in the high season or when the boat show is in town. Well worth the wait, the atmosphere was is very chill and laid back. Sits on the canal next to a private swimming pool and is part of a boutique hotel. I took a group of coworkers and everybody was super happy. Food was delicious, servers were nice and attentive. Definitely have to go back and try some more of the menu.

Amazing lunch menu and exceptional views of the river. I highly recommend the Ahi Tuna tortilla platter, the tuna with the Marinate was great. After lunch you can take the free water taxi for a loop around the lake as its just outside the Boathouse Resturant. The Servers here are the best I have seen so far defiantly very attentive and a benchmarking what service should be to warrant 20% of higher Gratitty.

This was our first stop in Ft Lauderdale. We were starving when we got off the plane and the reviews for Boathouse were all positive so we decided to check it out. I’m so glad we did! The shrimp scampi pasta was delicious. The night’s menu featured a steak and shrimp duo and it was also incredibly good. The steak was butter soft and the shrimp had a nice grill char to it that was *chef’s kiss*. Our waitress was amazing and added so much to our experience. A nice dinner right on the water was the perfect start to our trip! Check out Boathouse at the Riverside! You won’t be disappointed.

Beautiful spot right on the New River, just steps from Las Olas - perfect for enjoying the view and watching the boats go by. The atmosphere is amazing, but the food didn’t live up to it. The gazpacho on the menu wasn’t available, and the prosciutto flatbread was pretty blah, topped with some very sad baby arugula. The mussels we good with tasty sauce, but I wish the bread was fresher. Big miss on the food, but the location still makes it a nice place to sit and chill.

I recently dined at Boathouse at the Riverside in Fort Lauderdale and had an unforgettable experience. The crispy seared Branzino was a standout—perfectly cooked with a golden, crunchy skin and tender, flaky flesh infused with subtle Mediterranean herbs. Paired with the creamy golden beet saffron risotto, tangy red beet coulis, and a charred lemon for that bright citrus pop, the flavors were balanced, earthy, and luxurious. The food overall was top-notch, the waterfront atmosphere with yacht views was serene, and the service was attentive and friendly. Easily a 5-star spot—highly recommend!
