About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for outdoor dining
Named by Richmond Magazine as one of the best local destinations for seafood and outdoor dining, The Boathouse restaurant and event spaces wed impeccable waterfront views with authentic, locally-sourced cuisine. From oysters delivered hours out of the water from our own private bed in the Chesapeake Bay to shrimp and grits featuring sausage from Surry, VA, the menu is distinctive and, most importantly, delicious.

    We had very good service. Was there for happy hour. Food was good. Calamari always the best in Richmond. However, was disappointed they no longer serve pizza. Hopefully they bring it back.

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five stars for The Boathouse—and an extra shoutout to Ashley! My husband and I came to celebrate his birthday and had such a wonderful experience! The seafood tower was fantastic, and we also split a burger that was absolutely amazing. His Old Fashioneds were a hit, and my mimosa flight was delicious! The beautiful views made the afternoon feel even more special. What really made our visit memorable was our server, Ashley. She was so sweet, welcoming, and attentive—a fabulous server who deserves recognition! She made us feel truly taken care of and added so much to our birthday celebration. Delicious food, great drinks, gorgeous views, and wonderful service. Thank you, Ashley and The Boathouse, for helping make my husband’s birthday so special. We can’t wait to come back!

    Service was subpar. Food was mediocre. We love the ambiance but it’s getting hard to justify the price when the service and food aren’t great.

    The service was very slow and ineffective, though friendly. The food arrived cold and some parts inedible or not as described. The eggs and potatoes were cold yet somehow overcooked, the crab cakes and eggs contained shells, the grits were so full of I'm not sure what (butter, cheese) that they were inedible though the menu indicated they were plain, the waffle was drenched in a sauce that was not on the menu either. It was a very disappointing meal that took hours and cost much more than it was worth.

    Have eaten here lots of times, but this time the food was not good, had to have 2 dinners remade and I have never done that anywhere in my life. Wait staff was extra taxed but was congenial and hustling the best they could. Overall a very disappointing experience.

    My husband and I ordered the shrimp and grits extra spicy and they were absolutely incredible! My daughter has gluten and dairy allergies and the waiter checked with the chef several times for us and made sure her dish was just perfect. I really appreciated the effort our server made for her.

    Great place to relax with classes. The food was very tasty and the coffee was outstanding. The only issue is that the shrimp and grits were too salty
