The Boathouse

"We had 2 more bday celebrations at the Boathouse at Rockets Landing. What a wonderful experience! They arranged for our favorite table in the corner with a beautiful view of the water. Karen was a cheerful and knowledgeable waitress and she had wonderful support staff bringing our dishes. We had fish and chips, crab cakes and fried shrimp, and the brussel sprouts. They also brought us birthday Zookies complete with candles. Thank you so much for a lovely evening! It felt like we were on vacation 😍" -- Google Review, 6/25/25

Thank you for celebrating with us, Rayna! We hope to see you again soon 🥂
