The ambience here is worth the trip alone! The rooftop is such a vibe, with beautiful décor and an amazing view of the skyline. The drinks were really good--creative, fun and festive, but still very well made. The food was also delicious and everything came out fresh. Our waiter was very attentive, and the entire staff was on point--regularly clearing tables, refilling water glasses and making sure everyone was taken care of. There were lots of girls' night groups out, but it would also make such a cute date-night spot. Definitely a place I'd come back to! read more

Went to the rooftop with the girls during the middle of Friday just to check out the vibes. We didn't order any food, but they do have a food menu available. We ended up getting a bottle and hookah and just hung out for a bit. The space is pretty big with multiple floors and both indoor snd outdoor areas. There are plenty of different areas to hangout depending on the vibe you're looking for. Since we went during the day, it was more relaxed but I can definitely see it getting livelier later on. Overall, the vibes were nice and it was a fun spot to chill, have some drinks and hookah, and catch up wiith the girls. read more

Food 8.3/10 Atmosphere: 8.9/10 Service 2.1/10 The food was good but it took over an 1.5 hour for the food to come out. It was ridiculous a long time. The waitress was nice and had a good attitude. Also they do not recoal on hookah, we asked the waitress if we can recoal and she said yes but never did it, she asked her probably like three time and each time she said she will bring it. We then asked another waiter and he said they don't re coal. read more

This was my second time visiting Boathouse Rooftop under the new management, but my first time dining there. I came for a friend's birthday brunch with a party of 12. Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly, and we waited for the birthday girl to arrive before being seated. Unfortunately, once we sat down, the experience started to go downhill. Service was noticeably slow, and although Melanie was our designated server, it seemed like multiple staff members were checking on our table, bringing drinks, and delivering food, which made the overall experience feel disorganized. The menu was also a bit disappointing. For a restaurant that advertises Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, the brunch options felt pretty basic. I ordered the waffles, which came as a single waffle with no protein included. I had to pay extra for eggs and bacon, which isn't something I've typically experienced at brunch spots. Throughout the meal, Melanie seemed overwhelmed and, at times, unsure about menu items and timing. Drinks took a long time to arrive, and so did our food, with little communication about the delays. When I asked for additional syrup (which the menu actually lists as agave), I was repeatedly told the kitchen didn't have any syrup. A simple clarification that the menu serves agave instead would have avoided the unnecessary back-and-forth and provided a much better customer experience. What stood out the most was that whenever there was an issue--whether it was delayed drinks, food, or questions from guests--Melanie consistently blamed the kitchen or back-of-house staff. While I understand that problems happen, customers view the restaurant as one team. Taking ownership and communicating professionally goes much further than repeatedly shifting blame to the kitchen. The food itself was just okay. The steak and eggs came with a very fatty cut of steak, making much of it difficult to enjoy. Portions also felt small depending on the dish. My waffles were good, but having to pay extra for eggs and bacon made the meal feel incomplete for the price. The cocktails were definitely one of the highlights, but even those took quite a while to arrive. To make matters worse, one drink was accidentally charged twice, creating even more confusion when the check came. Instead of simply apologizing for the mistake, Melanie again explained that the issues weren't her fault and were because of the kitchen, which unfortunately left a poor final impression. Overall, I really wanted to enjoy this brunch because the rooftop atmosphere is beautiful and the space has a lot of potential. Unfortunately, between the slow and disorganized service, lack of accountability, billing mistakes, and underwhelming food, the experience didn't meet expectations. I think Boathouse Rooftop would benefit from better staff training, stronger communication, and a greater emphasis on customer service and accountability. At this time I wouldn't consider giving it another chance, but there is definitely room for improvement. read more

BoatHouse RoofTop - Brunch menu - Mediterranean Near Me - Queens, New York

Been wanting to go here ever since I heard abt this place. Service is really good. Weekend brunch: 3/5 Golden hour $14 - surprisingly too sour 4/5 "GRILLED OCTOPUS $22- Served with baby potatoes, Kalamata olives, cherry tomatoes, feta, and smoked olive oil, finished with a roasted pepper-almond sauce". Not as good as Radici's which is the best I've ever had, this wasn't spicy & didn't have as much flavor, altho this was still really good. The roasted pepper sauce is pretty good. 3/5 "STEAK & EGGS $36- Grilled New York strip with eggs any style, baby potatoes, and chimichurri verde" . Potatoes were pretty salty, steak was ok, I've had much better. Got scrambled eggs, which were a bit bland. 4/5 "SHORT RIB BENEDICT $30- Braised short ribs in mixed chiles and pomegranate, served on an English muffin with poached eggs and romesco sauce". This was really good. The braised short ribs were well seasoned, juicy, & very flavorful. read more

Came here for a birthday brunch and we had an amazing time. We sat on the rooftop on a beautiful sunny afternoon and had an amazing time. As soon as we stepped off of the elevator we encountered the host who was friendly and so accommodating. He made us feel like we were regulars who knew him forever. The view from the rooftop is phenomenal!!!! We loved the decor and ambiance of this restaurant. Food was delicious and we took advantage of the 90 minute unlimited drink special. All in all a great find. I live in Jersey but I'm already planning my next visit. read more

If you're going for dinner it's a must for reservations. It's small but the ambiance is very nice. Service was great. I had the short rib ( they could give me a lil more meat) which was delicious. My mojito were cool need more alcohol in it but still my dinner was great loved the sauce they poured on my mashed potatoes. Definitely a date night vibe. And I bagged a lady at the bar. I'll be back read more

The good: the decor in this place is giving Mediterranean vibes all the way. It's a quaint rooftop with nice seating all around. The rooftop is nice and breezy but there is also nicer seating on the bottom floor. The food was a hit or miss. My short rib was extremely fatty but everything else I had was pretty good. My mocktail was amazing!!! The needs to improve: Bathroom was disgusting!!! Someone needs to go I. And make sure there is enough toilet paper and it's quite compact in there as well. The location is a bit ackward, it's in a building with multiples lawyers and medical offices and oddly situated in the middle of the block. The view is just ok depending on where you sit you can either have a view of the manhattan skyline or inside people apartments read more

This place is SO CONFUSED!!!! Imagine a Muslim-owned halal restaurant (no judgement, I'm just trying to make connections) with EXTREMELY LOUD MUSIC and a DANCER - and the crowd - Muslim families lol. I went there because of the reviews on the views of NYC skyline and also because of its misleading name "BOATHOUSE ROOFTOP" as neither it's a boathouse, nor it's a rooftop, yes maybe it has rooftop views but the outdoor seating is only for people who can handle the hookah smoke. They did have a nice dedicated smoke-free area for families but that area has a lot of decor on the windows so no views there FYI. I went with family, and 3 kids under 4, and my experience was horrible due to the LOUD LOUD music. My kids were irritated, and although I went to celebrate my husband's birthday (thought it is Muslim owned halal food with views) I just couldn't wait for the dessert and want to get out of there! The ambiance they are trying to want to be is of a club, not kid-friendly and not-older-parents friendly. Okay their food was really good, so the stars are for the food only, service is kinda slow, and when asked to be in an area with a lower volume, I was snapped at saying "we have other guests as well" lol I know that, maybe could have tried moving us to a different table or at least should have been nice and considerate while answering the question. read more

Went to The Boathouse Rooftop with my cousins for a quick lunch on Saturday. The rooftop is really cute and nicely decorated definitely a great spot for pictures and drinks. The food was just okay. We got the Greek salad, potato croquettes, and my cousin got the truffle ricotta waffles. The potato croquettes were honestly the best thing we had, and the drinks were good. The hummus poblano was disappointing, the chicken was bland and the hummus didn't have much flavor. I'd come back for drinks and the atmosphere, but the food wasn't anything special and I don't think it's worth the price. read more

My partner and I had such an amazing date night here! It was a rainy day so unfortunately the view wasn't the best but the vibe completely made up for it! It was so intimate and the interior is gorgeous. There's plenty of seating but we ended up sitting across from the beautifully lit bar. We found a deal on pulsd for $69 and it offered two drinks, one appetizer, two main courses and a dessert. It was a great value and even better after we had a taste of the food. We ordered both a cocktail and mocktail and they were tasty. Cocktail was strong and sweet like I like it. The scallops were so soft and paired very well with the potato patty underneath, not to mention, they were HUGE. For entrees we got the short rib and a steak kebab. The steak kebab was so tender and juicy and we really enjoyed the spicy hummus, definitely a game changer. My short rib was also tender and fall apart which is exactly what I want in a rib. My only complaint would be the dessert which unfortunately was a bit overcooked so it wasn't much of a lava cake. Overall the service was great and vibes were even better. Even without the coupon, the prices are reasonable for the experience. read more

This is a cute spot. My guests and I all ate the same thing so I can't say much about other items. We really enjoyed the burrata & fig salad. The flavors were fun, fresh and layered. The mussels and shrimp was okay, we had multiple orders of bread (it was good!) For entree, we all had the braised short ribs. It was tasty! I really enjoyed it and it didn't make you feel sloppily full, so I appreciated that. They did forget to put my order in somehow so my guests ate without me, didn't ruin the night but it was noted. Service was good otherwise, waiter explained items on menu and was patient. We ended with dessert, the lava cake with ice cream which was a good way to finish. They had a dancer there and she was engaging with guests and fire so that's a nice touch as we finished our cocktails and waited for the bill. The rooftop was closed when we went so didn't get to see that. Street parking. read more

My friends and i all had steak and eggs for brunch. The red sangria was def really good. Not to sweet yet fruit forward. Our server jelena was attentive and sweet. She made sure our party had a great time. We also had the tiramisu and we were blown away. That tiramisu was light and fluff and just divine. Will come back again The place is also very beautiful but the seats were low but nothing bad. Its probably amazing if you are having a hookah. read more

BoatHouse RoofTop - Mediterranean Near Me - Queens, New York

It's a beautiful place and the staff was so so friendly and accommodating, but unfortunately we probably won't go back. Went out for a girls night had a 9:30pm reservation on a Friday night and of course we expected there to be a little wait, but the service was extremely slow. The drinks from the bar took a while to come out, at one point we had to get up to find the server to ask for an update and to order. The first thing we ordered was hookah, it took well over an hour for it to come out and we had all already finished eating our food & second round of drinks by the time we got it. They did end up removing the hookah from the bill, and sent over a round of shots to make up for the wait which we really appreciated. Overall we thought the food was alright, not the best not the worst. read more

This was a top tier brunch in a romantic upscale Mediterranean rooftop in Astoria with chic decor and stunning ambiance. It's like being transported to a Greek oasis. The service here is very refined. They provided warm hand towels to sanitize our hands before the meal. The cocktails here are colorful, well-balanced and strong. The Love in Mykonos drink was artfully presented and was as refreshing as it gets. The potato croquettes were scrumptious with adobo chicken chorizo artfully plated on an avocado mash sprinkled with garlic harissa aioli. The frittata con carne was a standout entree with delicious merguez sausage. The hummus poblano was another unique entree with chile poblano hummus mixed with chicken chorizo on a warm soft pita. The ingredients were super fresh. I definitely plan on returning. read more

Starting off the restaurant itself is beautiful. We were seated soon as we arrived. The food and the drinks are good; really I liked the mocktails better than the cocktails. The service however could use some improvement. Our appetizers took forever to come out and, one of our appetizers was spinach dip which they present to you with three pieces of bread mind you there were four of us at our table, we asked for additional bread which never came. There should also be sharing plates if you order appetizers and they were none we had to ask. By the time they bought out the sharing plates our entrées were out. when we ordered dessert it was presented to us with no utensils. It's just the little details that make a difference. I think they need to work on the attentiveness of their customers a bit more.additionally the bathroom was gross, floor was wet and sticky not enough toilet paper; for a busy Saturday night there really needs to be someone there making sure the restrooms are clean. read more

I don't usually write reviews, but I wanted to share my experience. The happy hour drinks were great, the ambiance is beautiful, and the bartenders were very friendly. The biggest disappointment was the hookah. It was very expensive, and afterward it made me extremely sick. My stomach was upset, and I had such a severe headache that I couldn't sleep and had to take pain medication, at one point my headache got so severe I was contemplating going to the hospital. I've had hookah at many places and have never experienced that before. read more

I was skeptical walking into this place, but almost immediately that went away. The manager Harley absolutely attentive. The drinks made by Ricky the bar tender were on point. The music at a perfect level didn't have to scream across the table. Now the food is what took the cake. The lamb sliders absolutely delicious, the tender meat and the mixture of seasoning absolutely delicious. For the main course my wife had a truffle ricotta waffles that absolutely blew me away. The cleverness of mixing truffle with a sweet dish was very hit or miss..... but this definitely hit. Good job chef read more

To be completely honest, this place is for views and vibes. If you're looking for a good dinner, I wouldn't necessarily choose this spot. Very average food but the view you get from the rooftop is really nice. We were also able to to sit and enjoy hookah after our dinner which was nice but if you're sitting in the inside patio I'm not sure it's worth it. read more

Food was solid. When me and my family first came in the entry of the restaurant is really small and a lot of people are trying to get in at the same time very compact and hot to make it even worse. They start taking out the trash while others are mid way of eating. Disgusting overall, I would recommend coming here only for the view and the sexy girl shaking ass lol besides that don't come and as I am finishing writing this review, this dude thinks he's slick trying to cover up the stench with fabreeze, bro..‍ read more

This place was a complete disaster. I don't understand why people were raving about it on TikTok and Instagram. The food was mediocre for the price. And who brings out appetizers after the main course is almost finished? We ordered appetizers first! The customer service was terrible. When I called to make a reservation, the host should have been informed that our party of four had a 1.5-hour timeframe. How do you expect us to finish drinks, food, and smoke hookah within that time? And let's not even talk about the hookah prices. $50 for the flavor LOVE 66, which I can buy the same damn flavor for $15 at my local hookah shop. To top it off, we felt extremely rushed. We had 34 minutes left in our timeframe, and the host kept coming every five minutes to ask if the check was signed. The cardholder was in the bathroom at the time. I had been looking forward to spending time with my friends here, dressed up and all, but this was the worst experience ever. Boathouse, please do better. Only reason I have it a ONE star because the drink was amazing. That's it read more

I booked a reservation three weeks in advance for a party of 12 and paid a deposit of $600 to secure it. My group and I arrived 15-30 minutes before our reservation, only to be informed that we would be seated shortly. The hostess asked us to wait on the rooftop, which was fully exposed to the outdoor elements with the current outdoor temperature below 60 degrees Fahrenheit and windy. The rooftop's floor was unstable, and maintenance workers were actively present, making it unsafe. We ended up waiting for two hours past our reservation time, being told it was the kitchen's fault and that other guests wouldn't leave. Eventually, we were informed that they could no longer accommodate our party. Throughout this entire experience, not a single apology was offered by the restaurant manager or owner. This treatment felt not only unprofessional and disrespectful, but it also seemed racially motivated, as we were the only large party of Black people in the restaurant. I highly suggest NOT dining here. read more

First and foremost ambience is absolutely amazing so it's definitely a great place if you want to take nice pictures and put on Instagram. The food is disgusting, I'm not sure who would enjoy this food. I went during dinner time. The food was not enjoyable at all. The mocktails on the hookah was good. The service was great. The waitress was super nice. Just not a place I would ever go again. Definitely not worth the money. We all left hungry because we were unable to finish our food nonetheless, it was an experience. read more

Food was incredible, service was great, and the vibes were amazing! Definitely would go back!

Horrible service besides the only person who came to see us when needed was the bar.. the Waitress was awful. It was a busy night and understandable however no customer service forgot our drinks 3 times then gave the wrong drink. Past by our table at least 8 times and didn't ask to refill or to let's u know about food that took 45 min .. Again no update no acknowledgement nothing. Empty glassed empty table when food came nothing to brag about ... Steak hard and overcooked . And when explained about .. she took the plate and walked away . We were there for a birthday.. so disappointed never again read more

Poor experience to say the least. Pricey for low quality meal. Let me start-off now. A bunch of us decided to meet here for dinner & drinks. The website does not specify the PROPER hours of operation, therefore reserving a table was hard. We reserved for 4p on saturday w/ zero inclination that it was the tail end of brunch. Alright, decided to forgo & continue w/ our plans. Drinks were absolutely amazing with a decent exposure to a pretty skyline. Now comes the food: abhorring. HAD TO order from the brunch menu- disgusting food. Old, stale, hard. One of the friends ordered the Steak& Eggs which he said was decent but the steak was a bit tough for him. Another friend had the plain Mediterranean salad which lacked flavor. I ordered the Short rib benedict with a poor side salad - yuck! The english muffin was so so sooooo hard that while attempting to cut into it, the entire muffin with the short rib topping fell to the floor!! WTF! I returned the plate, couldnt order anything else as kitchen closed. Another friend ordered the hummus poblano-- her toasted bread was HARD as well-- she had to saw the bread down. I'm sorry but this is a disgusting place for food. The service was slow. Very chic ambiance, dress well. Great for pics. Groupon voucher available which they honored. Will NOT be returning this side. read more

Today was my second time Both times the staff was extremely nice!!!!!! The manager the staff the waitress (I had the same person twice) very nice! The rooftop overall is beautiful.
