"My favorite restaurant, and it appears it just became our friends ' favorite as well. A good looking building in a beautiful bay view location, with plenty of parking. Wait staff are always friendly, pleasant, knowledgeable, and attentive. The mixed drinks are thoughtfully created, perfectly executed, boozy, and full of flavor. And then there 's the food ahhh, the food. Exquisite! In so many restaurants the brazed short rib is often a bit dry. I needed no knife to break into this remarkably plump, tender, juicy, and absolutely delicious hunk of boneless meat, floating on a bed of splendidly seasoned mashed potatoes, tender carrots and mushrooms, and wilted baby kale, all nicely glazed with a lovely red wine demi that was eyes rolling in the back of your head delicious. The saying You get what you pay for is sometimes true, and other times you 're saying I could 've just as good if not better myself or They do it better at _____ restaurant. However I believe it 's properly priced at the Boathouse in comparison to any other fine dining. Then again, the way things have been for the past few years, to say you 're getting more than what you 're paying for isn 't a stretch. About $30 ish per plate (braised short rib $36 and there are lower cost sandwiches, though still a bit pricey, but guaranteed to be delectable; the most expensive entree was the $55 filet mignon. My intent dining this time was to finish off with a coffee desert mixed drink (w/espresso, Bailey 's, Kahula, which currently isn 't listed on the online menu, but is in the restaurant, and it 's unbelievably yummy but I was still feeling good from the Harbor Cask rum drink I had earlier. So instead my wife and I finished off with a Vanilla Chai Creme Brulee, with blackberries and spiced honeycomb that was very tasty, though she said she liked a grapenut creme brulee that she got the previous time. This was our 2nd visit to the Boathouse, but we 're planning on many more. I just have to save up my allowance for a bit :"
