The Alaska Boathouse - Big Lake

I brought my wife here for a jubilee dinner. I had filet mignon and it was very good. my wife also enjoyed her meal. the gloomy was also good. would go back.

"Great food, good service, neat place trip there in the home waste!

We were impressed with the quality of food and decent quantity. It was a perfect day to sit on the deck and watch the activity on the lake. We were amazed how quiet the boats were and were pleased with the service. Our waitress was pleasant and never left us waiting. Our meal was delicious and obviously made from fresh ingredients by a talented chef. The halibut batter was crispy, the fries were delightful. The special of chicken parmesan was cooked perfectly and the homemade marinara sauce was chunky and fresh. The fettucini alfredo was creamy with just the right amount of garlic. Mmmmm excellent! We will be back and we will be telling all of our friends about this place!

Food was good staff was pleasant and accommodating, but I think we caught them on a bad day (Mother's Day) because we waited an entire hour for our appetizer and another hour for our entrees. Will we return? Unlikely. Had they offered free dessert to make up for the excessively slow service, sure! But they didn't, so we'll stick with our favorites. Sorry Boathouse...you have good potential and we typically won't think twice about leaving a 20% tip when it's warranted, but for a $200 bill, you fell below our expectations.

Although the food is a bit pricey, if you are looking for a really fine dinner with no compromises on the food, The Boat House delivers. The Caesar was delicious, the Halibut was cooked to perfection, and the Rib Eye had the right amount of marbling. One criticism though, the veggies with the entrees was carrots, just carrots. It seems there could have been a bit more variety there and was a bit of a disappointment.
