Had been wanting to try this newish Fish house, and got the chance to with my baby for Happy Hour! We got there about 4:45 and got a table no problem! Our server was young and sweet, the restaurant is kinda just one big room with a patio out front. We both ordered a drink from the bar and it took them forever to get to us? like 15 minutes to deliver a drink, our apps came out before we got our drink, that was kinda weird. Anyways, we ordered a bunch from the HH menu and loved everything! And to get them at half off, great value! 2 sushi rolls, seaweed salad, blackened grouper bites, edamame....then they a a special where you order an app off the regular menu and can add on 2 snow crab clusters for $15! So we got calamari and the snow crab legs everything was so tasty, all of us enjoyed the food very much! read more

The service was good and the ambiance was good but my Hot Lobster Roll was not good at all. There was plenty of lobster meat but it was very dry and very over cooked. I probably should have sent it back but I was with my two grandsons and I didn't want to make a scene with them there. I did taste their sushi rolls and they were really tasty. So I will give this restaurant another chance but definitely not for lobster but maybe for sushi. read more

You can't get a better overall experience than the boat house. This restaurant is perfection for a casual night out and the staff is top notch! I will go ahead and apologize that I did not get a pic of the deviled eggs but they are absolutely amazing!! If you visit The Boat House you MUST order these! The lobster bisque had huge chunks of lobster and was so robust w flavor. Tuna steak was seared perfectly w just the right amount. We love this place and it is a great staple in the PVB area. read more

This is my go to for happy hour and seafood craving. Their bang shrimp is the best in town and the deviled eggs with fried oysters on top are excellent. I start with those and sometimes grouper bites then move to a whole fried fish dinner with fried rice and plantain. It never gets old. Love the friendly service and coastal decor too. read more

Surprisingly I had just heard about the Boat House about a week before trying it. It didn't seem to matter that we had a reservation for 2 inside and they ended up seating us at a 6 top. The inside of the restaurant is super cute but a bit loud and casual for the prices, but food was fresh and seasoned well and good size portions. The brussels were our favorite. The crispy calamari with banana peppers was good. The crab cakes were probably the best I've had in Jacksonville. The lobster and cheese ravioli was good but my least favorite of everything. There were a few shells in lobster which weren't fun to chew. The bread pudding was AMAZING and I'd go back just for that. read more

Enjoyable meal with a great atmosphere. I will say the Sushi was good but little overpriced compared to more authentic Japanese restaurants. Service however was excellent and we had a good experience. I would recommend you check it out for a good seafood restaurant near the beach. read more

Went to try this restaurant for the seafood. The whole fried snapper was overly breaded, which took away from the natural flavor of the fish. Our server was wonderful and very attentive. Unfortunately the food was not great. read more

The Boat House - Whole Fried Red Snapper - Seafood Near Me - Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida

We like this restaurant and that's what made tonight so difficult to sit through because I honestly don't think we will return after the sanitary issues observed. From our seats at the bar, directly beside the sushi station, we watched our sushi roll (raw fish) sit out uncovered for more than seven minutes. The manager was standing over it the whole time, chatting to staff and on her phone. We eventually asked for it ourselves. Barbacks argued loudly in front of us while stacking freshly cleaned glassware. One coughed into his hands and kept going. A dessert went out after a server dragged his arm through the whipped cream. Nobody said a word and it was delivered to the table. At various points we had no bartender, no server, and no silverware as most of the staff was gathered in the bar talking. When we looked for the manager to flag the issues, she was sitting at the bar with a cocktail and scrolling. The food handling completely unsanitary and the restaurant looked unmanaged. read more

Ok haven't been to Boathouse in a year and half, so we tried it last night with two other couples. General consensus amoungbthe group was , everything was just OK. Nothing great , nothing terrible. I really want this place to be on their game, and be good, but sadly, in my opinion it's not. So we will cross this off the list, since average at best food, and prices on the higher side don't mix . read more

I've been here 3 times. 2 out of 3 were great. The 3rd time sucked and it was the time I took my extended family out to show off the area. Unfortunately, when it sucks, the prices are the same. They do great drinks and sushi. The cooked fish can be spot on or sandpaper dry. Place can get really loud, especially when already drunk patrons from TPC (this was non-tourney time) get seated next you. Service is always great. Prices are on the higher end, and this is why it hurts so bad when a visit misses the mark. If considering give it a shot, it could be the best meal you've had in a while. read more

Finally made it back to the Boat House after our first experience almost a year ago and unfortunately it just wasn't as good as our first time. We came in for dinner around 6pm on a Monday and had no issue getting a table. Our waitress was attentive and quickly got us drinks and appetizer orders put in. Last time we were here they were out of the Mama Shaw's Conch Fritters and lucky for us they had them this time. They quickly came out and they were pretty good. I was a big fan that the conch in them were not chewy at all which tends to happen with Conch Fritters. They also brought out a number of sauce to go with them! For my entree I ordered the same thing I had just under a year ago, The Just Caught Seafood pick 2 with Blackened Cold Water Scallops and Fried Grouper with Truffle Fries as my side. I ordered the same thing because last time this was an amazing pick. This time the Grouper was just as good but the Cold Water Blackened Scallops were a bit of a let down this time. On my first visit the scallops were very well blackened with so much flavor. There were also 6 of them and each of them were huge. This time the blackening seasoning was for sure lacking, only 5 scallops, and 3 of the 5 were about the size of a quarter. (You should be able to see the difference in the pictures from this review to my first review). I'm not sure if I caught them on an off night and maybe that night being a Monday vs my first time being a Sunday night, or maybe the first night I caught them on an amazing night and they just really out did themselves. Will I guess they only way to figure it out will come back for a 3 time and see how that goes. Again it still enjoy The Boat House a lot but this last time just didn't hold up as well compared to my first. read more

I have been to this restaurant twice and both times I thought my food was good, the service was good and the atmosphere was good. All around it's a good restaurant but it's definitely not the best. The lobster roll is good but I have had better for cheaper, their scallops are good but again I've had better and their sides are good. I don't want this to come across as a negative review because I do like The Boat House I just wouldn't go out of my way to eat there. read more

Have been here a few times but have never tried the brunch. Came for a girls brunch with a group of 8 of us. The bottomless mimosas and bloody Mary's were well worth the price of $12.99 (1 is $9). We had quite a variety with our group- some brunch items, some apps, and some sushi! The deviled bacon oysters were fantastic- I love bleu cheese, yum!! My favorite sushi roll was the double shrimp tempura. Within our group, others had hamachi chili, the brunch scramble, the poke bowl with yellowtail, and the shrimp & lobster omelette. Our server was great and very attentive to us. We were surprised there were only a couple other tables there for brunch but it started getting busier as we were leaving around 12-12:30. read more

The food was the best. Service was outstanding. The fried rice alone was worth the trip. Call ahead for a reservation!

The Boat House had been on my radar for a while but I hadn't made it for dinner when I realized they had a new brunch offering. We went right after they'd opened on a Sunday. We were the second party there and were seated promptly. We ordered the French toast, captain's breakfast, and shrimp and lobster omelette. We got the fried oyster appetizer to start. The brunch menu also had their take on chicken and waffles, eggs benedict with seafood protein options, biscuits and gravy, breakfast burrito, grits with seafood options, avocado toast, and a breakfast scramble. They had a kids brunch menu that also came with crayons and pictures for coloring. The food took a while to come out and when it did, it wasn't correct. We had someone who was lactose intolerant in our party and had requested his appetizer and main dish with no cheese. Both arrived with cheese. They remade the oyster app and he just removed the cream cheese dollop from the omelette. Unfortunately, the omelette suffered from a lack of flavor or seasoning. The captain's breakfast was fine and simple - eggs, potatoes with sausage, chicken tenders, and a biscuit. The sausage gravy that was supposed to come with it never arrived and the bottom of the biscuit was burnt. The French toast was excellent but again, it arrived with whipped cream on top when we requested it on the side. The kids burger looked seasoned and it went over well with our toddler. The brunch was fine overall but nothing to write home about. Service was a bit sparse and the accuracy of the meals wasn't good (sausage gravy never came, cheese was on plates with a specified lactose intolerant guest, whipped cream requested on the side wasn't honored), despite our being one of two parties in the dining room to start. Perhaps dinner here is more of their specialty. read more

Went with a few friends and got the shrimp and grits. It was excellent! Second best I've ever had. My wife and kids went on their own another time and they felt the food was just so-so - they're not interested in coming back, but I think that's more based on the cost of the so-so food than anything else. It can be a bit spendy. They remodeled a little bit from previous occupant, but I found it very loud and challenging to have good conversation (the whole reason my friends and I were there). Service was fine. Not excellent and not below average. Can't say I'd be a frequent customer, although I may have to try their happy hour specials, as price is the biggest deterrent to returning. read more

Inside always noisy. Definitely difficult to have a conversation. Staff always friendly and attentive. Food is typically good, however it's a crap shoot on how much dinner is going to cost because easily half the menu is still "MKT Price", which I get for certain seasonal items, but for a steak? Offerings are on the expensive side, which, so long as they keep up the quality, I guess is acceptable. Dinner itself was exceptional. Portions are ample, fish and grits, fried shrimp and triggerfish were perfectly cooked. Definitely a must try if you're in the area. read more

The BoatHouse in Ponte Vedra offers an unforgettable dining experience with its beautiful ambiance, delicious food, and exceptional service. Our server, Will, was attentive and knowledgeable, and Austin, the manager, ensured everything ran smoothly. Sushi chef Gus's expertise shines through in every roll, making this hands-down the best sushi in town! We enjoyed a variety of sushi rolls--the Wicked Rolls, Volcano Rolls, and Wagyu Rolls--each beautifully prepared and bursting with flavor. The Hamachi Kama with beets and daikon was a unique and delicate choice, while the Poke Bowl, loaded with seasonal veggies, seaweed salad, cucumber wasabi, and roasted corn pico, was refreshingly light and flavorful. The Blackened Salmon and the tender Venison Backstrap with mushroom demi-glace and cauliflower purée were equally satisfying. For dessert, we were blown away by the Lavender Crème Brûlée--a perfect balance of smoky lavender and sweetness with fresh berries--and the Bread Pudding, served warm with a scoop of ice cream, which was the ultimate comfort dessert. The BoatHouse combines high-quality, fresh seafood with outstanding service in a stunning setting. If you're near Ponte Vedra Beach, this spot is a must-visit!

Came here for a birthday celebration with my girlfriends and left extremely happy! Portions are large and full of flavor! I'm not sure you can go wrong with your pick! Not pictured- the bread pudding which was 10/10 tasty and more than enough to share between 3 people! I ordered a cocktail and it was one of the tastiest I have had in months. Plenty of parking and both indoor/outdoor seating options. Consider making a reservation although not required week nights. No complaints and will def be back! read more

We love this cozy spot. It's comfortable, relaxed, and perfectly located in our neighborhood -- often a spontaneous stop after a bike ride. We usually come for fish and sushi, which are consistently fresh and well done. Cocktails are excellent, service is always friendly, and the overall quality never disappoints. Great value for money, and simply a place we genuinely enjoy spending time in. For us, this is a five-star kind of place and a guaranteed return. read more

Very nice restaurant located in PVB. Location / ambiance: 5/5. Great location with good parking. The restaurant is very bright and inviting, although I have only visited for lunch. I'm not sure if they dim lighting for dinner service. Very beachy vibe and the staff is friendly. Food / value: 4/5. The food is delicious but it is a bit pricey. They do offer a happy hour but I have not had a chance to visit for the happy hour yet. All the dishes I've had here are amazing, but be prepared to spend. Service: 5/5. I have visited three times and the service has always been great. The servers make great recommendations and are always very attentive. Will definitely continue to return. read more

Tried The Boat House recently with hubby and really enjoyed it. I've been curious about this restaurant because I see they have a good amount of menu items for sushi and a variety of seafood dishes. For this first trip, I was craving sushi so we kept it on the sushi side. We tried Riptide Roll, Grand Sashimi Moriawase (14 pieces of chef's choice with toppings), hamachi / yellowtail poke bowl, an order of otoro/fatty tuna, and the Hokkaido uni nigiri (part of their special of the day). Everything was pretty good. The roll was good, the fatty tuna we ordered was also part of the chef's choice (awesome), the chef's choice was actually surprisingly good value in the size and quality of the fish. The uni was a bit higher priced for the size imo (surprising given how generous the sashimi was on the other order). My personal favorite, however, was the hamachi poke bowl. Every component was delicious and with good amount of hamachi, toss in a bit of wasabi... yum! I'd go back again and again just to have that bowl. The service was friendly. The restaurant can get a bit loud, but I like the casual vibe. So overall it really was a great dining experience. I would definitely return to try other dishes. read more

Newly opened restaurant in Ponte Vedra Beach. The Boathouse PVB offers the freshest seafood, sushi, and steak too. Reservation at 12:30 PM and we were seated promptly upon arrival. We had an amazing lunch. For appetizers, we opted for the crunchy spicy salmon sushi roll and a couple of beers. For the Mains, we ordered and shared below. Eat half and exchange plates to taste the best of both worlds like we always do. * Lobster and Grits - with smoked bacon, sausage, peppers and onion over creamy pimento cheese grits. Loaded with lobster meat! * Whole Fried Snapper - came with house fried rice, mushroom aioli, sweet plantains, roasted corn pico, topped with arugula and honey basil vinaigrette. Fish was delicious! Sushi and the Kitchen are separate so we received our Mains before the appetizer. Looked like many people ordered sushi. No worries. Service was superb! read more

Definitely Try it. I've been twice and the food is good. Service is solid. It's pricey but I'm sure the ingredients are good and therefore the cost high. My issues are more the ambiance and selection. Regarding sushi rolls, the menu has very fancy complex offerings for $$$ but not the simple rolls (which I prefer) for $. Not a big deal but the ambiance is what ruins it for me. Sorry but the two times I visited it was excruciatingly loud. Moreover, the layout doesn't provide for good seating views. It's a small thing and perhaps I'm overly critical. It just wasn't a comfortable experience. Try it for yourself. The food is good. read more
