parking is. Restaurant could even attain 4 stars to five. However, there is little choice sea foods as far as the main courses... are concerned. Their apoeratifs are really good. Paul attention, when it comes to wines, tbe waiters are keen in selling bottlewines instead of glass wines. Ask for the price first because my friend and I became victims of our having a bottle of PinotNoir which it s a Russian brand made in California. Besides the wine coating $260.00, it tastes really bad like medicines. Wedidn't ask the price but were shocked when the bill came to $515.41. That is a very high bill for 2 dinners with a bottle winecoating at $260.00. It is sheer theft. Read more

Boarding house has top notch service (ask for Hannah Johnson- she's fantastic). The food was spot on, fresh, locally sourced and... prepared well. Can't wait to come back for brunch! Read more
We had excellent service and an incredible meal. Our scallops were cooked to perfection - not overdone. The tomato and... strawberry salad was fresh and tasty. The avocado stuffed avocado had a nice savory soy flavor but without being too heavy. Andthe fries had a nice garlic aioli with a tanginess. For dessert we had the olive oil bundt cake which was also delicious. One ofthe best overall meals I've had in a while. Read more
Let me start by saying that I can't attest to the quality of the food here because we didn't actually end up eating anything. We... arrived at 930 on a Tuesday night and asked to be seated for drinks and dessert. Many members of our party return to the islandevery summer and raved about the dessert menu Boarding House offered. However when we asked to be seated we were told to waitwhile the hostess spoke to her manager because she wasn't sure she could accommodate us. Ok? But we waited. She returned to tellus we had to "wait to see if anyone came to sit for dinner." We found this incredibly snobby and pretentious. It was a rainyevening and there was clearly no on on the streets looking for dinner at that time. To make matters worse, we could see thatthree of their four patio tables were open and even conveyed that we would be more than happy to sit outside. They were clearlystill serving food outside as there was already a table seated waiting for food. Since when does a restaurant turn away payingcustomers for the prospect of other customers? The entire experience left us feeling undervalued and made it certain that noneof us will ever return to this pretentious establishment again. That is no way to run a business and Boarding House should beashamed of the poor customer service we received. It doesn't matter how good the food is when service is downright despicable.Luckily we were able to walk over to juice bar and get delicious desserts there, where they had no problem serving us.

Myself (Teddy )and my husband Steven had dinner at Boarding House tonight. We were seated in a very cute private corner upfront... the kitchen. The service was great. This spot gave the team a chance to interact with us all the time and we felt so special.The Chef Eric is an absolute Star - we tried so many items and we loved all of them. Thank you Eric and all Boarding House Team.We had an incredible time! Read more
