Reviews for Boathouse 19 in Tacoma, WA
Food was excellent! The peach lemonade was the best lemonade ive ever had. The brownie dessert was a little tougher than I... would've expected out of a brownie but not bad! We are definitely coming back. Read more
If I could give half stars, this would be a 2.5 stars review. The food was good, that is where the good ended. We started in... the bar because there was no outside seating immediately available. We quickly learned the likely real reason for the delaywas not enough staff. 20 minutes later we were taken to our table, there were four tables available. By the way, we ordereddrinks right when we sat in the bar and they did not come before our outside table was ready. It took another 10+ minutes aftersitting down outside for our drinks to arrive. We ordered dinner and that took another 27 minutes to get to us (nothing fancy,the burger and fish depicted below). As we ate we watched a young male employee who was delivering food to tables take a frenchfry off a plate that he was delivering and toss it in his mouth, so inappropriate. We chose this location because we wanted arelaxing location with a view and a good meal. As I said, the food was fine but the incredibly slow service and the employeewho ate the fry off the customers plate totally ruined it for us. We won't be going back. Read more
The view is spectacular, and the service is great! Food - not so great this time. Cod was over-cooked with not much flavor.... Everything else was good! Read more
We got the prime rib sandwich and the fish tacos.. clam chowder side with both. All of it was exceptional! So delicious! We are... from out of town so this was a nice gem to experience. You get a cool view and every staff member we interacted with werefriendly and polite. We would go again if we didn't live across the country! I can't comment on the prices, really, I thinkeverything is a little more expensive out here than in Ohio but the prices are manageable and worth what you get. Definitely gohere. Read more
Such a flavorful lunch, and with fantastic views and customer service! The tomato soup didn?t compare to some of the other... Anthony?s restaurants, but the clam chowder was delicious! The po boy was hearty and came with the best fries, perfect fordipping in the artichoke crab dip alongside the baguette it came with. The spiked salted caramel shake was definitely the starof the show;) Read more
5 stars simply for the service, cost, & insane view! This restaurant is great, solid, and reliable. Mostly everything is good, a... few things, like the Salmon BLT, are great! You won?t be disappointed. Quick overview: 2 alcoholics cocktails, 1 22oz beer, 1appetizer, 2 main dishes, 1 kids meal, 1 dessert, and 1 kid ice cream totaled about $100. The food: 1. Calamari strips were verytasty, and came on a bed of fried onions and jalapeños. That part was a bit overkill on the fried food. It would have balancedbetter on a bed of lettuce. 2. Salmon BLT w/ a side of salmon & clam chowder was very good! Generous portions hot and cookedperfectly. 3. Pear salad was light and refreshing. Perfect size if you?re planning on eating or drinking a lot. 4. Pear crispwas warm, soft, crunchy, and creamy (with ice cream) . If your tongue likes different textures, then this dish is for you! I?mstuffed and can?t wait to return! Read more
We truly enjoyed our meals dining here tonight. They were busy and we waited about 20 minutes to be seated. We ordered the 7... layer dip for our appetizer. The chips were homemade and tasted so good that they were gone in a few minutes. The dip comes in alittle bowl and was very tasty as well. For our entrees we ordered the mahi mahi tacos, the smokehouse burger (but made it intoa chicken sandwich instead), the kids grilled cheese with tomato soup and the kids chicken strips. The chicken sandwich was sojuicy! My daughter had apple sauce with her meal and said it was the best ever and tasted like a cinnamon roll! For dessert weordered the salted caramel milkshake and the triple chocolate milkshake (without whipped cream). Both were delicious! The triplechocolate came with a brownie that was too rich for me to eat but my girls loved it! We will be back during the day next time.I'm sure being able to see the water while you eat makes it even more magical. Read more
Our server, Jessica, was very attentive and friendly. They had a special lobster dinner we went to try. I had their special hit... buttered rum drink, it was very good. This was our first time trying this place. It didn't look at the menu because we knewwhat we wanted. Will have to go back and check out their regular menu. Read more
