The Boathouse At Lakeville

We had a nice evening with delicious fish and chips and cheesecakes. Not for the Dieter, the food. And although I didn't have to add to my calories, the cheese cake should not have been divided. It is a small and perfectly made piece but definitely only for one!

(Last visited on 10/9/2021. After a long, amazingly fun day at Lime Rock Park it was time for dinner, but we didn 't feel like making the 90 minute drive home just yet. So we did out fair share of Yelp 'ing then found this place. I 'm glad we did, because I had a good time, here 's why! Atmosphere/Appearance: The Boathouse, set right on Main Street, looks just like it 's namesake with a private parking lot on the side that wraps around the back. The inside delivers a very tavern-feel with low, yellow lighting, lots of wood and an open concept. It was VERY busy since it was a Saturday evening, but that 's what you want to see! We didn 't have any reservations so we just sent up a prayer and boom... 2 seats at the bar! Sold! So we sat at the bar among the regulars and chatted it up! Service: Chris was our bartender and server. He took excellent care of us. He was swift, friendly, funny, personable and made sure that we had a good time. Food: Never in my life had I ever had wings and sushi in the same meal... until now. Lol. It 's such a strange concept. I was actually a bit apprehensive about getting sushi in the same place where they sell, wings, prime rib and steaks. I shouldn 't have been! So I started off with the wings with their homemade Buffalo sauce. They were pretty good, but I didn 't know they were breaded. So they were super thick, but super flavorful as well. I 'd ask if it 's possible to get them without the breading next time, but usually that slows the kitchen down a bit. For my sushi entrees I went with The T-N-T Roll which contains spicy tuna, lobster salad and avocado on the inside then covered with spicy mayo as well as some crunchies. It comes wrapped in soy paper. This was a delicious roll that wasn 't very spicy, but it was so savory. The flavors worked together so well and the crunchies helped add another texted to the roll. The 2nd roll I got was The Triple Fire Roll which contains tuna, salmon, yellowtail and tobiko. It 's then covered in spicy mayo and wrapped in soy paper. Just like The T-N-T roll, the flavors went together so well, but were much simpler. I did prefer the first roll over the 2nd though. Seeing what they can do with wings and sushi really intrigues me. I 'd love to try some of the other things on the menu! Value: My sushi rolls were $15.00 and $16.00. That 's about on par with any other sushi restaurant and these were BIG American-sized rolls as well. Lol. You get like, 8 huge wings for $18.00. Though they were good, I don 't think they 're worth that. I 'd rather stick to the sushi or would be willing to try out one of their other appetizers. In conclusion, the next time I 'm out at the track and am ready for dinner, I 'd absolutely stop by The Boathouse. This place really did impress me and I 'm excited to see what else they can do!

4.3 Stars. Exceptional appetizers whole belly fried clams (market priced at $30. and spicy tuna sushi roll. The clams were the best I've ever had prepared this way melt in your mouth tender and all a good size. The fresh tuna was superb. A1 quality. These two starters were so beyond expectations in terms of their perfection, our main dishes paled in comparison though they were very good, as well. The swordfish and cod were a little overcooked in my seafood combo, but the salmon was moist and buttery soft. The cioppino had a nice selection of shellfish but a couple of mussels were sealed shut. A colleague who lives in town told us his favorite thing here are the raw tuna nachos. Drinks from the bar delivered. There's a nice mural of boats as a backdrop for the bar seats, and the theme throughout the restaurant is nautical, of course, hence the name. Packed house on this June Saturday evening. No salad or bread with dinner. My partner would have liked some bread to soak up the broth with his cioppino. Our waiter was polite and timely. A big fail was whoever packed our unfinished cioppino to go, did not crimp the plastic lid into the aluminum container, so the broth soaked the take home paper bag. What a mess. Still, a great place to frequent for regulars and definitely worth the stop in the area.

Just passing through town, nice place to stop for the locals and visitors. Mary was great, prompt, attentive and offered suggestions. Had a vegetarian Quasidilla and Pastrami Ruben. The home made chips were great. So good.. half the meal later... snapped the picture. Great spot for lunch or dinner from the sea or land choices. Very nice bar area. Enjoy!

Delicious appetizers, entrees and desserts. About four beers on tap, including local microbrews, and a full bar with ample selection of regional wines. Tasteful maritime décor, including two canoes affixed to the ceiling as in Amenia?s Four Brothers restaurant, which also belongs to the Boathouse?s ownership. Friendly, efficient staff, clean bathrooms and fast wi-fi. Parking in the lot out front, but careful since all ingress and egress turns into the same lane used for parking.
