Nice relaxing restaurant to visit if you're in a nice treat. I was happy with the menu and my meal. Staff were friendly and the prices were good.
Looks great inside. Service bit slow to take orders. Food was overpriced for what it was. Price aside, food was average.
Views of the water would be nice...not

This was our second visit to the Boatshed, the first being for my wife's birthday last November, for which we would definitely give a 9.5/10 - it was the best dining out experience in many year,
However, this time, February 2013, the experience did not live up to the benchmark set only three months prior.
The restaurant was humming as you would expect on a Saturday night, and we had booked earlier in the week to ensure our table of five guests. We had suggested to our friends this venue because of such a wonderful experience previously, but when the food arrived, things started to head downhill.
Two tables that had arrived after us received their food prior to us, even though we did not order entrees.
Two of three steaks (all dry aged) were overcooked, one of them coning with chips even though they were specifically not ordered. The steak that was cooked as requested was inconsistent in flavour, which was very puzzling.
The Pea Risotto was severely over seasoned, as was a side order of mixed grilled mushrooms – spoiling what would have been very lovely mushrooms.
The Crumbed Veal on the other had was flavourless and soggy (though when ordered in November by the same person it was exceptional).
Finally, in a venue that is very loud at the best of times, surely the need for music is not warranted, and the atmosphere could be greatly enhanced by turning it off completely.
Sorry Boatshed, this was not an enjoyable experience whatsoever, and if it was not for wonderful company, the night would have been a disaster.

Went for lunch during the week and was impressed by the food and service. Steak was perfectly cooked and suggested wine complimented the whole meal. Great experience.
Approximate cost: $25
Always a lovely treat to head to the Boatshed at the Regatta. Always a table as it is a huge restaurant, great menu, staff and value for money. Can get very busy on weekends, so make sure you book a table far in advance!
Approximate cost: $17
