Central Park Boathouse - New York

Such a beautiful spot for lunch but very sad to hear they will be closing their doors soon. Hope it’s bought by someone else and this iconic place continues

I ordered the halibut and was told they were out of it. My waiter recommended the Cod and I said ok. I’ve had Cod before at other restaurants. Cod is white and a big fish. I was served a very small flat Fish and it was brown or stored too long or overcooked. I don’t believe it was Cod. The vegetables were very funny. It was supposed to be Broccoli Rabe. Maybe it was but too many stems and few leaves. It was also served with tiny onions. A disappointing meal.

Lovely ambience Delicious food Excellent serbice I recommend it highly.

Had a lovely lunch at the venerable Central Park Boathouse. The weather was absolutely gorgeous. It is a shame that it is scheduled to close within days. Luckily we had reservations and our table was right next to the water with an unobstructed view of the lake and people rowing their boats. Now the food we started with a pumpkin soup. My wife then had the cod and I the crab cakes. As to the latter pure crab not filled with flour at all. My wife had a delicious cheesecake.

Had such high expectations. The food was terrible. Very dry and felt as though it had been cooked the day before. It cost $205 before tips and we had two courses each and a glass of wine each. Very disappointed
