Boater's Grill

This is a terrible food location. Thank god for the view. Staff is nothing extraordinary, particularly slow. Food is so bad, i’ve never had a ceviche being so blend and a steak sandwich look that sad. It was unappetizing and the taste wasn’t better at all. On my steak sandwich the tomato was still green 🥲 no cheese or sauce, just a 2oz flank steak tanderized. Worse than any mcdonalds butger. I will never set foot here again. I don’t usually write bad reviews because everyone’s experience varries but damn, this was sad. I paid 29$ for a ceviche and steak sandwich. The day prior I had gone to gramps and had a 10x better experience and food.

This is not the first time we come to eat here. We used to live in Key Biscayne so we’d seek the waterview experience once in a while. We never came here for the food, it was never a great cuisine. But now it’s beyond “not great”, it’s literally inedible. It’s really unfortunate because the potential to have an amazing restaurant at this location is infinite. I sent my food back and did not order anything else as I was afraid it would be just as bad since my family’s order was not good either. I called the manager to gently give him a piece of my mind in respect to the cuisine and the potential they have but his answer was that their cook was not good! 😂 It is nevertheless an expensive restaurant. I would be ok paying prime but for food that at least tasted good and was cooked right! Don’

I have been coming to this place for maybe 25 yrs and love the atmosphere , the food is always tasty and my favorite waiter is still there. However I can no longer get past the price point. The market price for a fried whole Hogfish was $80.00 just for the fish. Two beers, 1 fried fish, with fries , a dixie cup of white fish ceviche , plus tip was almost $200.00 for lunch. Its a nostalgic place for me but Im done at those prices, Id honestly rather go to the Rusty Pelican or Joe's which offers lower or similar prices at this point. I get boaters pay anything as I had a boat for 20 yrs and it was always expensive but this is absurd at these prices. It will be a very longtime before I go back if at all, its just not worth the long lines for what you get and the price you pay. Im assuming if

We recently had dinner at Boater’s Grill with a group of six and spent around $430. Overall, the experience was very enjoyable. The service was attentive and friendly, and the waterfront view was absolutely stunning — a perfect setting for a relaxed evening. The food was generally good and portions were generous. However, the lobster was a major letdown. On a scale of 0 to 10, it was a 0 — it tasted as if it had been sitting in the fridge too long and lacked freshness entirely. That aside, the rest of the dishes were well-prepared and satisfying. Boater’s Grill is definitely worth visiting for the ambiance and overall experience, but I’d recommend skipping the lobster.

Very nice place by the bay. Service was fast, waiters were helpful, and the food was good.
