Central Park Boathouse

5.2/10American

AI-generated summary

Most people say look at it and eat somewhere else. The food is overpriced and forgettable, and one diner had it hit the table in three minutes, lukewarm. The people who like it go for the lake view, cocktails and simple apps rather than a real dinner.

  • I ate at the boathouse a month ago for my engagement and the food was fine. I liked my chicken but my fiance didn’t really like the lamb.

  • The food is fine. The menu is a little bit more creative than the menu under the previous licensee but the quality is not markedly better. It’s not bad but nothing to go out of your way for.

  • replying to u/TreaSanchez: We are doing 11:30 for boat house so not technically brunch. I typically wouldn’t choose these, but trying to do a few touristy things for our friend who has never been.

    I, a new yorker, was just at the boat hose for the first time and loved it. It's overpriced and the food may not blow your mind , but its good and the atmosphere is great and the staff are lovely.

  • Food arrived in less than 3 minutes, which was shocking. It would be to no one’s surprise the temperature and taste quality of the food.

  • One of the few tourist restaurants in the city that is actually just great in its own right. Not off the charts food, but certainly above average and great service. A wonderful experience
