  This restaurant is the cutest place. I took my group of friends there, it was my second time. They loved it. The food portions are next level. We ate and had food for 2 days if we rationed it well. My only complaint was that we waited over an hour for our meal. This is after we called and made a reservation, and the restaurant was less than half empty. The manager did make it up by giving us Caesar salads on the house, which was very much appreciated. But we were starving. A great time overall and a nice place for pictures and views of the water.

  So we drive from Kingston to Mobay to have a dining experience at the House Boat Grill Restaurant. I had the beef with mashed potatoes. Can anyone tell me what cut of beef that was? The beef was well seasoned and tasted great to me. The Sangria was disappointing. The others had pasta a shrimp (that was cutting two), pasta with chicken ( wasn't happy). The other person had pasta with grilled chicken on top and was very happy with it. So, to get to the boathouse, u had to take a little ferry for a 2 minute ride. That was interesting. They had 2 levels to dine on. We could see the large fishes in the water around the boathouse. We enjoyed that. All in all, we are happy for the experience.

  So I went to this restaurant with my mom on her birthday. Was our first time going there. The view was really nice and it was quiet so we liked that. But the food took almost 2 hours to get to us, didn't like that. I didnt enjoy the food either. Maybe it was just what I chose because a customer had said the surf and turf was good. My mom took the surf and turf and I got salmon with wild rice Also told the waitress it was my mom's birthday prior to ordering. Usually when I go to restaurants I'm accustomed to the singing or playing of the happy birthday song and a little slice of cake or ice cream with a candle whenever you tell them it's someone's birthday. But what happened here was the waitress just brought us a plate with whipped cream on it and a candle. She did say happy birthday though and offered us a spoon for the whipped cream lol We politely declined and thanked her for the gesture and asked her to return the plate of whipped cream. It made the visit a little disappointing for me The waitress then explained that it's because we never ordered dessert that's why they only placed whipped cream on the plate and brought it. I didnt know this prior, so, just a heads up in case someone decides to go for a birthday dinner. But I still enjoyed the view and being out on the water so the 3 points for that. Forgot to mention we also had panko crusted garlic shrimp -was a little burnt but I enjoyed that.

  This was a unique experience for me. If you are not looking for the restaurant, you will miss it. The ride in the ferry boat to get to the entrance was a special touch. The decor was not exceptional, but it was as expected for a house boat. We were seated outside for an 8 p.m. dinner. The view if the city lights across the water was spectacular. We saw a very large fish and several smaller fish swimming around the boat. Then, we saw a jelly fish that looked like a flower. The drinks (dirty martini and lychee martini) were so so. This particular night they were out of ginger beer for the mules. For appetizers, my friend had the grilled calamari. It was very flavorful and not chewy. I had the panko crusted garlic shrimp. Loved it. For entrees my friend had the surf and turf while I had the snapper. Our server suggested that if you don't like any pink, x order the medium well, not well done. She was spot on. The turf was steak, the surf was lobster, but not whole. The snapper was cooked to perfection. Crispy skin. Not dry. The sauce had a little kick (for an American), but not too much. The portions were generous. We were both too full for dessert. The price point is on the mid to high end. If you are looking for a laid back, different dining experience with excellent food, House Boat Grill is the place to go.
