This place is one of my favorite restaurants in the entire Richmond metro area. With a view that is spectacular, you can enjoy it's unique atmosphere and cuisine while relaxing to some live music. The food has always been outstanding, including the Sunday Brunch buffet. The outdoor bar including dining is like no other in the area. I have been there at least a dozen times with no complaints only raves. Whether you chose the Crab and Asparagus Eggs Benidict or the Farmer's Market Strata, you can't go wrong on Sunday's unless you don't order a mimosa or bloddy mary to go with it:) Also I want to suggest a few of my dinner favorites....the Tuna Tartare is fantastic. The Mussels are superb and can be steamed with a selection of seasonings. There are a number of unique Pizza selections which were recognized in Richmond magazine with other "best" pizzeria's in Richmond. Again, I am not sure where the other reviewers dined because that is not the Boathouse I know.
Pros: Definitely the view, unique and tastey food
Cons: none for me

We went to the Boathouse on a Tuesday night in torrential rain, so they were not very busy and our service was excellent. The bread, we all thought was very good. I had lobster. It was good and I loved the garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus. Our big disappointment was the crabcakes. They were advertised as "lump", but were clearly NOT made from lump crabmeat and were not very good. Too much "filler". My husband's cobbler was a disappointment, but I loved the chocolate cake, which was actually more of a mousse. Our bill for 4 was only $150 and we all had a cocktail or two and dessert. Would like to go back to try the pizza and sit outside.
Pros: great bread, good service (but on a very slow night)
Cons: crab cakes were not lump crab meat
