Superb food, service and ambiance. Appetizers a must Order whatever Jenn recommends read more

You may not expect a lovely upscale restaurant in downtown Mancos, but it is there right in the heart of town. The menu can be a little funky for some tastes but we've always managed to find something delicious. We started with marinated olives, cheese board, and shishito peppers. Yum! Most of our party got the steak (I was tempted as I've had it before and it is delicious) but I opted for the scallops as it was new--and worth trying! The desserts are worth the calories too. We also experienced excellent service. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a special occasion dinner. read more

The most delicious food between Mancos, Cortez and Dolores! I love how often they change the menu. The restaurant is understated inside, so it's not ostentatious. But the food is definitely fine dining 100%. read more

What's this? Seafood in Colorado? Yup, and it is really, really good. Join Jasmine and Jim Tritten, and Mark Fleisher as they report on the best restaurant in southwest Colorado. It's a four-hour drive from Albuquerque and worth every minute along NM 550. We went there for the 2025 Mesa Verde Literary Festival, where all three of us made presentations. Our reward - the Boathouse on Grand. Just click on the following YouTube video link to meet the friendly owner, Jenn Stewart, and look at her creative interior, the amazing food, and impeccable service you too will find in a small town just over the border at the Gateway to Mesa Verde. We highly recommend this interesting small restaurant, and "we're comin' back." https://youtu.be/vha-1FdyUxI?si=MAr9cTNF8KEDQFXV read more

See all

I have been to the Boathouse many times when they were still up at the lake but this was our first time in Mancos. A small, intimate place. An extraordinary waitstaff that takes care of you without doting on you. The oft changing menu was fantastic . Wine list was extensive and something for every taste and budget. One of the best meals we've ever had. I say "we" because my wife and I completely agree and we've dined all over the world. She had duck confit and I had pork cheek....WOW! I can't put into words how great Chef Dave prepares his food. His wife and co-owner Jenn works the floor like a magician, appearing where and when needed. I can't recommend Boathouse on Grand any higher ! read more

Ambiance and service are excellent. The chef provides some wonderful and eclectic menu choices. Definitely try the Jamon

I don't normally go out for dinner but I always make an exception for the Boathouse. Been there many times with friends and everybody always has a great experience. Jen and Dave have spent a lot of time in Spain which is reflected in their cuisine. The duck liver mousse is to die for. Cool ambience in an old restored wild west building. Their servers are very knowledgeable and fun. My family has lived in the area for over 30 years and this is the best of the best. Great wine list and the oysters rock. Our go-to places for birthdays and other celebrations. read more

I have been to The boathouse several times now and I have to say it is the best restaurant for food, ambience, waitstaff in the four corners area. I think it's probably better than most places in telluride as well without the crazy high prices. The menu changes often, allowing the customer to really get a full experience of what the chef can create. read more

Food and atmosphere are amazing. Husband / wife owners who clearly work so hard to create a special dining experience. Definitely a foodie kind of place. Jen's homemade mint chocolate chip ice cream was maybe one of the top ten things I've ever put in my mouth! read more

The food was first rate and a wonderful surprise for a small town. Service was prompt even though it was full and had a limited number of severs. It was a nice way to end a day of sightseeing in the Mancos Historic District. read more

Perfect place to celebrate! I took my friend here to thank her for being my local tour guide. The Boathouse is first class all the way; terrific food, memorable atmosphere, and first class service. We shared the cheese plate appetizer and the radicchio salad. I had the flatiron steak and my friend enjoyed her duck leg. We had leftovers and unfortunately no room for desert. The vegetables in the salad are fresh and grown locally. The cheese was an excellent mix of soft and hard, four excellent choices. The flatiron steak was cooked to perfection, very tender, and it tasted better than most filet mignon steaks I have had. The owner explained that they discovered a precious local rancher who provides the best Wagyu beef you could find. My friend has several food restrictions that took a while to explain to the waitress. It was no problem for this kitchen. Our waitress was fully on top of our order and all of our needs throughout the dinner, and very good at helping to make selections. You will enjoy your time here, and you will want to return quickly. read more

The best restaurant in the Four Corners!!! The new location on Grand Ave. in Mancos is small and cozy, and we always leave with happy bellies raving about the food! The menu is diverse, changes often, and we have never had anything that we didn't love. Wait staff is very attentive and personable. I think i may have developed an addiction for the Montaditas and the rabbit dish i had last night was superb! Thank you Jen and Dave for yet another memorable dinner! read more

Stunning! Came for the second time, I can't wait to come back, food is outstanding. The owners and staff are extremely professional and so friendly. I love this place. read more

We've eaten at the Boathouse twice now and had wonderful meals both times. The food, ambiance and service is top notch. Amazing oysters, jamon, risotto and wine! We'll be back! read more

Wanted to support a local business but The Boathouse has issues. Both servings were not hot. Lamb Stew and Rabbit. Pricey. Over $100 with tip without cocktails. Just soda water and coffee. The restaurant needed more ambiance. The owners should visit other $$$$ restaurants and study their operation. The owners may have had another restaurant but this Boat House will not make it without attention to detail. read more

A fine dining experience in Mancos, CO. We had a reservation for a Saturday night. Server was helpful, knowledgeable & attentive.

The remodeled interior is lovely & welcoming. A lovely evening was had & we'll be back. read more

Totally in love with the boathouse. One of the best, if not the best restaurant in the four corners area. Husband and wife owners. Fantastic Spanish menu with local influence. Killer wine list. Not pretentious. Where else can you get real Iberico ham? Have been many times and will go many more. LOVE this place. read more

Everything was wonderful! The food was unusual, unique & delicious. Server was knowledgeable, helpful but did not hover. Menu changes: lots of local farmers, ranchers & wineries are featured. Interior is spotless after a full remodel. Maybe some local art will adorn the walls at some point. We'll be back soon. Welcome to Mancos, Jenn & Dave read more
