Reviews for The Boathouse in Madison, WI
No handicap accessibility. $20.00 valet parking which is BS. Had to search for an elevator to go down 5 flights of stairs to... reach the restaurant. Never instructed where to locate the elevator. Do not recommend this place if you have health issues. Willnot go back again. No wheel chair accessibility. Sad that management does nothing to correct this issue. Read more
Discovered the Boathouse recently and this has become my favorite summertime place to eat. Enjoy your meals with the awesome ... views of the lake. Sunset views are spectacular. Located in the Edgewater Hotel, you must visit The Boathouse for excellentfood, service, and summer vibes. They have indoor and patio dining available. Strongly recommend patio dining to enjoy thebeautiful views. I absolutely love the food, ambience, and friendly service of this place. Went in on a Sunday evening andchose to sit outside. Our server promptly arrived and took are apps and drinks order. We started with the calamari, trufflefries and pretzel bites. The apps were good and I loved the calamari. It was perfect. Need to try the cheese curds during mynext visit. We also the Mahi Mahi fish tacos, Power Bowl, Chicken Salad croissant and Boathouse burger . The food was reallygood. Check out The Boathouse today!! Highly Recommend. Read more
I am giving 2 stars because the atmosphere was great and the cheese curds were very good. Everything else was very... disappointing. The service was slow and our server was not attentive at all. It took almost 20 minutes just to get our drinks. Iwas brought a little 8 ounce cup of sprite full of ice and my wife got a very light pour of the house merlot. Then my servercharged me twice for the sprite. To be fair the other tables got better service than we did. As I stated before the fried clockshadow cheese curds were good. The calamari was below average. The ahi poke bowl was terrible. It was more of a over cooked ahituna salad on a bed of al dente rice noodles. This chef has no clue about ahi poke. Another guest at the restaurant ordered themahi tacos and said they were very good. Once again, to be fair to the restaurant others seemed to have a better experience thanwe did. Read more
Cheese curds appreterizer was so delicious ???? worth it! They actually had ???? cherry coke which I am a big fan of! Being... right next to the lake was so beautiful and peaceful! It wasn't a busy day. The weather was nice. The decor of the inside of therestaurant was nice and clean. Even the bathrooms were well kept. Our waitress and all the staff was friendly. 5 stars! We willbe back! Read more
Great experience. Our server was super friendly and got our dog water. Good old fashion.
Convenient to stop by when on the lake. Allows dogs at the outside sitting and very attentive. Each dog had water served to... them. Loved it! Food was tasty for us as well :) Read more
Had a wonderful meal right on the lake seated outdoors on their patio. Kylie was a great server, cheese curds and Wisco Burger... were delicious and the weather and view were unbeatable. Highly recommend! PS parking is way easier than I expected, the garageby the Edge Water is hidden from view but right there when you turn in to the hotel; a delightful surprise that made the visitthat much more enjoyable.

We have stopped by for drinks before. That was fine. We had a late lunch today. The food and service was poor at best. If it... wasn?t for the waterfront location, this place would be in serious trouble. I can?t imagine we?ll eat here again. Haven?t hadthis bad of a dining experience in a long while. Read more
