This place was FUN and it also had amazing FOOD. They seated our party of 7 on the beach under a tiki hut and the view was nice! Our server took great care of us. We got our food quicker than we expected. This was also a nice place to get pictures on the dock by the water. A local resident recommended it to us. Would definitely return here again. No gluten free menu but they were able to communicate to me which items were gluten free.

Very good seafood restaurant. The location on the water is beautiful. Totally tropical atmosphere and fun vibe. I felt like Jimmy Buffet should be sitting next to me at the bar. We had a party of 7 which included 3 kids. They all ate their lunch with no complaints so their food must of been good. The crab cakes was the only appetizer we ordered. It was delicious and the mango sauce was great. The Blackened Mahi will require frozen drinks! It was very much like a real cajun blackened fish. Excellent flavour. One of the best I have ever had. Filet was thick and moist. Great entree. We also had the grouper bites. They were good. Not greasy or oily. I loved the breading. This is a great traditional classic fried fish meal. Live music, the view and staff were all top shelf. I cannot say enough about the ambiance. That being said, get ready to wait. Call 30 min in advance to get on the wait list. Sat night was a 2 hour wait, so we opted for Sunday lunch. It was packed. The beer, wine and cocktail menu is pretty good. Not overly priced. My drink was called The Pain Killer. Yeah....1 was all it took!! If you are anywhere on the Cape, this is the place to eat!! Good luck getting a table.

Super busy but we found a spot at the bar. Wait for table was an hour and a half. By the time we left they weren't even taking names for the wait list. Wait time went by quickly as the personable bartenders keep the frozen drinks coming. Conversation was lively amongst the folks sitting at the bar! There isn't a bad seat in the restaurant. When we finally got our table it was right on the beach. Beautiful views. We got the seafood platter which wasn't great. Just a bunch of battered, deep fried seafood with fries which you would expect. But couldn't beat the ambience. Recommend getting a sandwich and a few cocktails and enjoy the view.

Great atmosphere and good menu options. Had a hurricane and alligator bites. Both were good. Nice live entertainment too. We were glad we got there in-between he breakfast and lunch change at 11 because the line when leaving around noon was long.

Questions & Answers

Can you come by boat for lunch or dinner? Are there facilities to dock?

Gael Vee | Sep 1, 2018
Jerry Yost | Sep 1, 2019

Yes, there are facilities to dock your boat but NOT nearly enough slips. We’ve been there over a dozen times now by boat when there was no spot to park and just continued on to the next marine restaurant like 3 Fisherman or Pinchers both to the east. Boathouse and Cape Coral need to work a deal to let them use part of the city pier which is huge and going to waste for boat parking.

Is the tiki bar open after the storm?

Rochelle Garcia | Sep 1, 2018
Cinnamon Davidson | Sep 1, 2018

Yes it's open right now and covered during this storm. Deck is also open right now and basically empty because of storm and the fact the band had to stop. But they are still hanging around to see if it stops before their gig is over. Lol oops. It's currently storming but I just realized you meant after hurricane Irma

Jens Kirchert | May 3, 2022
Solveig Grebenstein | May 3, 2022

No, you can call and ask about half an hour in advance and, if necessary, be put on a list. At the railing, however, first come first serve applies! We always sat at the railing - ideal for two! Do you have a good view?

Do you take reservations ? I couldn't find anything on the Website to make any.

When I go to the boat house it's when I just left the Beach area. I'm sorry I couldn't give you a definitive answer. Every time I have gone there the waitt was never very long. And that's during a bright sunny afternoon. As far as evening and your concern again I really couldn't tell you. Enjoy your meal.

Walk in

The Boat House is one of our favorite places. We have family coming to visit at the end of October, which includes 4 young children. We had planned to spend an afternoon at the private beach, but are concerned about the water. Is it safe?

Steve Kelly | Aug 31, 2020
Larry Musselman | Aug 31, 2020

The river water clarity changes dependant on rain fall and flow. Sometimes it's very clear and other times it looks like coffee. We haven't had a lot of rain lately, so I suspect it's in good condition. There would be signs saying not to swim if the water condition was poor.

Is pet friendly

vanessa borge | Sep 1, 2019
Sharon Henderson | Sep 1, 2019

No. My husband asked if it was ok to bring our dog on the patio and was initially told that it was fine. Then later, we were rudely told off by the manager who informed us that only service dogs were allowed. He did let us stay and eat our meal, but honestly after the way I was talked to by him, I wish we had just left.

Robert Liebelt | Sep 1, 2017
leonard chaifetz | Sep 1, 2017

If you park at the dock by the restaurant you can pretty much park there for free period length of time don't know at this point. When using the restaurant there's no additional fee to use the dock for restaurant use. Enjoy the food and the entertainment it's nice.
