Boathouse - Menu

beautiful restaurant, great food and service and a unique and beautiful location to watch the sun, go down while eating great food!

Just fabulous views to enjoy fabulous food. The Fisherman’s Platter is super fresh and a special treat, lobster, crab, prawns potatoes garlic butter.....and you could be sitting in the Caribbean. Steephill Cove is a beautiful spot and well worth the effort.

Four phone calls and one email made and still no booking They have a very laid back approach to taking advance bookings,they only returned a call once and promised to call back in a few day with available dates. Ten days later still awaiting the...call. Have eaten at the boat house many times,the food is excellent,but the booking system is rubbish. Have now given up and will book elsewere.

we visited the boat house for the year in one for my birthday meal. this restaurant is really amazing. it is a beautiful beach restaurant with seafood. the environment is simply stunning in a unique family run that it is just over a long one. windy coast or steps can reach from ventnor. the personal is so attentive and cannot do enough for them. would always recommend the skippers bankett and French sauvignon white wine. must book and take cash only

we had a fantastic visit to the boathouse, we could not have asked for more attentive service from our welcome to departure. the food was amazing, so beautiful and so delicious presented! a great thank you to sian for her geduld, which we booked in advance and. then we had to change our booking date twice, we were told that we would have one table inside, but it felt like our table was outside, but we could still feel the brise and the sun. we got the opportunity to go outside and dessert and we jumped on the chance! we highly recommend this restaurant. Incredible food, wein and service. Many thanks to the employees who make our day so special, we look forward to a new visit.

eating was very good for what we had ordered as a family. the table we were assigned was very low and disappointing to have a meal. the social distancing was very bad, we had expected that the personal mask wears as we have seen in other restaurants, but that was not the case at our visit. it felt like there was no social distancing to be observed. the service of the personal was below par with taking one that seemed to cover for all others, missing drinks cutlery not available, people waving hands to get attention to order, but some of the dinge attention to detail. although a beautiful restaurant it would not be our first choice to return. it was a scandal that we are happy about our visit...

If you're humming and hawing about visiting this idyllic restaurant, just do it! Sure, it's a bit on the pricier side, but the value for money is outstanding. The setting is so incredibly relaxing and amazingly beautiful, the staff are fantastically welcoming, polite and friendly,...and the food is unlike anything I've ever had. Beautifully presented, utterly delicious, and super filling. The best dining experience I've ever had. Our server Kym was attentive, knowledgeable and went the extra mile, setting us up a table specifically so we could have a great seat on their upper deck. It's seafood/shellfish focused but there are other options for those who are not a fan. Hard to criticise any a...

We have been dining at this gem of a place for over years! The restaurant is only open for lunch, from the end of May until early September, so we try and eat there several times during that period. Steephill Cove is stunning ..our favourite place on the whole of the Isle of Wight and this restaurant has tables looking our over the sea and rocky beach. The main menu is mainly lobster, crab and huge prawns, with sea bream on the specials menu and steak and chips for those not inclined to eat anything fishy! I am always torn between having the dressed crab salad and the smoked salmon with cream cheese salad. The mackerel pate starter is also recommended. Plus, different desserts, including ice...

The setting for this IOW gem is breathtaking. It’s easy to forget where you are and believe you’re sat in a taverna on the beach of an unspoilt small Greek island. We were really lucky with the weather which just added to the magic, but...weather alone does not a great restaurant make. Overlooking the wonderful steep hill cove, The Boathouse has an almost exclusively seafood menu, and what a menu. From sea bass to whole lobster, it all looked incredibly mouth watering. It didn’t disappoint either. The baked sea bass ordered was delivered after the wonderful smoked mackerel pate, in a foil parcel. It was simply wonderful. A simple but delicious side salad and some wonderful boiled new potatoe...
