$$ to $$$ Considering the special location and atmosphere this restaurant is very affordable! A good value value

The Boathouse Restaurant location is exceptional! The surrounding grounds, Marina, and proximity to downtown San Diego offers a feel good experience (very good)...

The restaurants dining area offers great views of the Marina... We sat next to large windows overlooking this beautiful Marina. Our server (Will) did an excellent job at serving our party and his other tables (he was very busy; a very good attitude).

Everyone in our party of 6 loved the dining and drinks we ordered (except for me... Note: I am not easily pleased... sorry)... I ordered the Prime Rib and a bowl of Clam Chowder. The Prime Rib (this serving was very fatty) is served with a mashed garlic potato that was overly garlic for my taste. The Clam Chowder (I won't order again with a beef plate) was a bit lacking, which is surprising considering my expectation of this classy restaurant... I must insert here that I usually do not order Prime Rib so this was a venture away from my usual preferences... I did try a taste of the Macadamia Mahi Mahi but I wasn't impressed with that either.

The drinks were visually impressive, refreshing and tasty; a second round was ordered... Also the house expresso was appreciated and reordered by the two in our party that are very into expressos (so the drinks and expressos receive high kudos).

Assistant Manager (a young gal) was very professional (sorry I don't have her name). She was very congenial giving me a very good first impression.

I think most diners would rate the Boathouse with 5 Stars for the overall experience. I may have had a very of day...
