I love the Boatyard Grill. My boyfriend took me here on our first date and since I've made him take me back for many more!! I love the coconut fried shrimp and the blue cheese filet. Oh and don't even get me started on those... (more)

I went to the Boatyard on the advice of my coworkers, and I was extremely impressed. I found the service to be friendly but non intrusive. I ordered the blackened tuna and it was awesome -- so fresh. My wife ordered the... (more)

The waterfront view is what made me stop here for the first time, this was a few years back when I was doing a wine tour day. However once inside they definately gave me more reasons to come back. For a restaurant tucked... (more)

As a college student in Ithaca in 1999, the restaurant choices were limited. When the Boatyard opened in 2001, I tried it and have been a regular ever since. This place is head and shoulders above any other restaurant... (more)

Stay away from this over-rated place. They can't even train the servers to greet you properly. The food is lame, the drinks weak. They need to wake up and provide more than mediocre food and service if they want to keep... (more)

This is a nice little restaurant that is right on the water in Ithaca. The whole inside has a very sophisticated, clean, fresh appearance. The whole looks makes it feel like you are at an ocean or beach area. This is... (more)

The Boatyard Grill was an incredible experience. The wait was fairly long, but it was worth it. The location is incredible right near the crew house on the water. The food consists of meats and seafood. The seafood was... (more)

This is a local favorite of the residents of Ithaca. During the summer, you can sit by the deck and enjoy the view of Cayuga lack while enjoying a wonderfully prepared meal. It has a comfortable atmosphere that... (more)

The location on the water is beautiful. The food is always topnotch. The waiters are super friendly. And they top it all off with one of the best desserts of all time: the sizzling cookie. The Boatyard is at once elegant... (more)

Both the food and the ambience are amazing, and this is by far one of the best restaurants in the area. I have never been disappointed with my meal, and I usually eat far more than is good for me. The staff is always... (more)

Make reservations or you'll wait a LONG time to get seated. Good food, nice staff, interesting boatyard decor. Somewhat pricey for what you get. The menu could have a better selection of items.... (more)

Really fun restaurant with great food. Lots of different takes on simple foods- exotic without over doing anything. Beautiful interior, but sit outside during the summer- outdoor bar and seating on the water.... (more)
