Amazing restaurant, will suggest booking it in advance it can be quite busy. Generous portion , reasonable prices. Super friendly stuff, beautifully decorated. Great gift shop and a little farm shop. Can get coffee or hot chocolate takeaway . We had an excellent, if unexpected, lunch at The Boathouse. We ordered the fish platter, which was shown as either to share as a starter or for one main meal. To say there was sufficient for two as a main meal lunch is closer to truth. There were cod goujons, prawns, squid rings, smoked salmon, pate, and all the trimmings. Lovely wee place for a brunch. Food was warm, fresh and delicious. I had the french toast which tasted 👌 fantastic. The edible flowers were a beautiful addition. The shop is small but a lovely selection of products. Really friendly accommodating staff. Lovely views. Good food. We went there when busy this time and had a long wait for food but have been there before and has been really quick. Good to book before just in case they are full. We have eaten at the boathouse a number of times and keep coming back when we are in the area. This time we had lunch on a Saturday and had booked well in advance. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. The boathouse is situated on the river Nith and has windows looking out at the great view. When we are here we also like to visit Vintage on the Nith, mid century antique shop, which is just over the road 🥰 Beautiful cafe and shop, service was good. The food was lovely. We went on a rainy wild day but it was nice and cosy inside and the staff were friendly We had a lovely breakfast here on a Saturday morning. The food was excellent, all four in the group enjoyed our food and coffees. The view is great and the staff could not have been nicer. Couldn't recommend it more! I hate to leave a bad review but after being left so disappointed today, I felt the need to. I ordered Vegan Barqueros - I’m not vegan but dislike eggs and was pleased to see it’s served with vegan feta since it’s the only vegan cheese I like! When it arrived I was surprised to see grated vegan cheddar mixed through the avocado. Due to this I barely touched the dish, apart from the haggis I’d ordered as an extra topping. The serving was tiny and not as described on the menu. I’d hoped a member of staff would have checked everything was okay with the food as I’d have sent it back, but sadly nobody came over. I did raise it when I paid but it was dismissed and I was told it’s sometimes not served with the feta. We did have a very pleasant welcome by staff and the coffee was lovely but I’m so disappointed by the food and would be reluctant to go back.
