Right after we finished jumping off the pier, playing and swimming at Balmoral Beach we were hungry so we went to the Boat House. I had a lemonade, a hot chocolate, pasta and a bowl of chips shared with my dad. My dad had a coffee (he said it was excellent). Fries were so good and perfectly seasoned. Pasta was delicious. Atmosphere was great - how can you say no to a view of the beach! Definitely an easy 5 stars

Amazing food and location 😀 best tea ever, proper tea leaves, big teapot and you get to put the leaves in yourself. Also love that they didn’t serve frozen butter, was nice and soft. Turkish eggs were perfectly cooked

The location is great. The food is excellent. Service is ok as it was a little slow! The ambience is good but polluted with noisy crowds. Overall an experience I would strongly recommend and not one to be missed. Thanks to my son and grandchildren for such a lovely experience

Great rest and relax atmosphere with delightful wide view of the sea. You will get the occasional visit from the birds. Good choices of dishes on the menu. Staff are friendly and warm.

This review reflects our experience of the establishment during two visits one this month (July 2024) and one in 2019. We understand that others will have different views. The food is good and the portions are large. The location is unparalleled, right on the waterfront with fantastic views of the bay and Balmoral waterfront. The variety of food is good and the delivery speed is good. However, on both occassions for us, the front of house service is poor. Food can be (we did) ordered via an app at the table, meaning that staff only have to bring it to the table. On neither occassion was our food order correct and the incorrect drink sizes were provided. On our most recent visit, it has to be said that the front of house team probably couldn't have been less interested in their job or us as customers. It will be the food and location that might draw us back, now knowing the service level is below par, we'd be prepared and allow for it. For the overall experience, the prices reflect mostly location and people (us included) are clearly willing to pay for that because if it were psotioned away from the waterfront without views of the bay, the pricing would have to be changed by quite a bit to be able to reflect what's left.
