Reviews for The Boathouse at Saugatuck in Westport, CT
Perfect weather sitting outside. What an amazing location. Food and service were great. Had a great kale salad with an excellent... piece of salmon on top. I would have sat up there looking at the all afternoon but had to get some work in during the day. Iwill definitely go back and next time try dinner Read more
It is a nice spot to have a drink or dine in. The staff is nice and the food was tasty. We had the pâté to start which was... delicious and their scallops were yummy! We lucked out with beautiful weather and will definitely come back again. Read more

Recommendations: Outdoor Table (upstairs), Local Oysters on the Half Shell, Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail, Chicken Liver Pate, and... Boathouse Lobster Roll. . Detailed Review: It's Summer 2022, my wife and I looked for a waterfront restaurant in CT. I foundthis place, however, it's tough to reserve an outdoor table for a weekend dinner. I booked my table on 6/6 for the dinner on6/25. Initially, my reservation was for 2 of us. On the day of my reservation, my friends wanted to join us, I called therestaurant to update my reservation and they helped us to accommodate it. They handled it very professionally by making surethat they have enough room for us to sit outside, and called me back later to confirm that my reservation was updatedsuccessfully. When we got there, the host and the waitors were very friendly and helpful. We asked for recommendations and theirsuggestions were good. We ordered: Local Oysters on the Half Shell, Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail, Chicken Liver Pate, Prime Burger,Boathouse Lobster Roll, Apple Strudel, and Creme Brulee. - Local Oysters on the Half Shell & Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail: very fresh,you can even feel the oysters were crunchy. - Chicken Liver Pate: the Pate was very good, you may want to ask for more bread tofinish the disc. - Prime Burger: it's juicy, the beef was good (but not excellent yet). The fries were crispy. - BoathouseLobster Roll: delicious. The torpedo was crispy but not hard. - Apple Strudel: the vanilla ice cream was very good. - CremeBrulee: burning smell, not too sweet, delicious. ????So I gave 5/5 for the food. ????We did bring our own wine, there was $30for corkage fee. I just wish they could have an ice bucket for our bottle, but they served well and their recommendations forfood were good. So 5/5 for service. The view was great, there is the Saugatuck River flows by. Since the patio faces East,during sunset, the sunlight does not shine directly to your table. So view is 5/5. The restroom is nice and clean. They have anin Read more
Absolute perfection, food, service, atmosphere and the manger who is a charm. We enjoyed a wonderful water view.
I have been in the hospitality industry for over 20 years and have worked with some of the most premiere chefs in the industry.... Tonight was my first experience at The Boathouse at Saugatuck and both the food and service was outstanding which exceeded allof my expectations. Firstly, I called to make a reservation and was lucky enough to get Joette who was accommodating and assuredme that I would not be disappointed with the food and view. She was correct on both counts so I am glad that I listened to her.In fact after we were seated she came to our table to introduce herself to us to check that everything was to our liking so shewent above and beyond! Will, was our server and he made excellent suggestions for specialty drinks, the main course and dessert.He too checked on us many times throughout dinner to make certain we were pleased. So he was fantastic as well. Lastly, Idecided to make another reservation to come back in a couple of days and Danielle came to the table to organize this for me. Shewas also fantastic, friendly and very professional! It was obviously important to her to insure that I will have anotherwonderful experience. All in all...if I could give 10 stars to the chef and staff, they certainly deserve it!! Thank you so muchfor a wonderful night! Read more
