The Boat House - HAWLEY

Very long wait. When finally got in we had to wait even more. Some of the food were not even mediocre. Fried food was almost burnt. The salad was a joke. They call an entire lettuce a salad.

Should have left after they didn’t have the first 3 items I ordered from their menu. Compromised order of shellfish, Mac and cheese included insufficiency cooked shrimp and my wife’s spinach ravioli in water had a weird taste.

I saw a post that said the quality has gone down hill of late. As of Aug of 2024 the food as just as good as it was the first time we came here over 14 years ago. Staff and atmosphere is pleasant and the food was AMAZING. Still one of our favorite stops when in the area.

They have significant decline in their fried calamari from past years, which the waitress said was new and Very disappointing to us. That was always a must have previously, now we have to go elsewhere. A shame. Had some changes in menu selection that also disappointed us.

This place needs to wake up. Hostest takes about 10 minutes between seating tables when the place is empty. Took us an hour to get us our food after it took 20 minutes to get a drink. They are also out of 40% of the menu items at any given time
