Vista at the Boathouse

Its sort of a gem that may have been an afterthought for the gathering place. It has a great location with Beautiful sweeping views of the park and all its grandeur BUT. They go fancy with the linnen table cloth and wait staff that is dress as though it were a high class Italian place BUT they forget small things. A request for lemon with water never happened. The tables and chairs are of low quality and were mainly at the back of the room with only a few taking advantage of the view. There were even extra chairs blocking the windows up front. There were flies all over the place. The tables and chairs were just not what you would expect at a nice place, sort of low budget. So it sounds like i should rate it a 1 but then you get to the food oh yea its good really good. Portions looked small but were perfect and well done.

Beautiful restaurant and delicious dinner.
The atmosphere is a delightful blend of casual and swanky. Staff is super friendly, prices are reasonable, food is wonderful.
Dine while overlooking the beautiful Park.
I visited for dinner and had the fillet. Delicious! Perfectly cooked and beautifully presented.
Server, Sara was friendly, patient and professional.
Excellent experience.

Wonderful environment and views. Excellent food. Our group had the Curry fried chicken, bow tie pasta and pork chop. All were interesting, well presented and delicious. Best food and restaurant experience in a long time. Good service. Will be back

We went during a 'soft opening' prior to opening day on 5/20, so we went with the expectation that everything wasn't quite ironed out. Our two children were with us and we were excited to try the newest spot at the Gathering Place.

The overall experience was pleasant and relaxed. Views are great. Interior dining room was smaller than I expected. For those bringing kids, they have a verbal kids menu: hamburger, cheeseburger, grilled cheese, and chicken fingers all (I believe) with fries although one of our children ordered fruit.

Kids ordered cheeseburgers. All the "ingredients" were there for an excellent cheeseburger, but both were over cooked. Kids loved the sides.

Entrees we ordered were the margherita pizza and fried chicken and jasmine rice. Both were terrific. Enjoyed an 'Aviation' from the bar. Service was great, staff was knowledgeable. Had vanilla bean cheesecake and 'chocolate explosion' for dessert. Both came with raspberries and were awesome.
