This is my favourite restaurant in Frankston. I have been 4 times now and each time have had a good experience.
The food has been tasty,the ambience good but the price a bit exy...for us its a special occasion job.
Parking is good-they have their own.

What a bitter dissapointed, having been to the Boathouse upwards of 20 times over the past few years this has always been one of our favourite local restuarants. Good consistent food in a lovely setting. Unfortunately with a new chef and possibly ownership, this restaurant is a disaster. Food was inedible, we had to return our meals untouched. Wine list is limited and one of the two Pinot's was unavailable on the night - according to the staff, they cant carry a lot of wine! Just don't go, the food is terrible, my vegetable fritters were two soggy thin omeletes wrapped around huge chunks of vegetables and the salad was covered in sliced olives straight out of a jar, absolutely disgusting. My partner had steak which was so tasteless he couldn't eat more than one mouthful, I cannot describe how bitterly dissapointed we were.

Approximate cost: $30

It was so beautiful on a sunny day to be outside in such a pretty garden next to the creek. The food was great and the staff are amazing and so friendly, they made our experience so much better

I had my first date with my wife here 8 years ago and we still go back for old times sake. The quality hasn't changed, and its a great atmosphere. Pricey, but worth it on occasion

This place has amazing food in a really nice historic atmosphere with artwork everywhere to observe and even buy. The prices are a bit over the top, but its worth it for a once in a way treat

I have been here at least 8 times in the past couple of years and each time the food and service are unbeatable. However my husband and I took his parents there Saturday night and it was so noisy that we couldn't even have a conversation!! We ended up cutting the night short and skipping desert and coffee which we would normally have and went home to have it instead. The noise level there is a real problem so I would definitely recommend to go mid week to enjoy the experience properly as the food is amazing.

Approximate cost: $25.00

Best to go here in the summer and get a table out on the deck. Lovely relaxing meal, provided the flies stay away. Staff are polite and friendly and food is tasty.

Decor is nice.
Menu is great.
Food is good.
Service is just okay (very slow when they are busy) and quite good when they are not.
Seating is a bit cramped. Floors are polished timber making the room very noisy.

Approximate cost: $25

I visited on a Womow recommendation as I needed to meet friends in Frankston and didn't know of any places. The Boathouse restaurant was lovely - food was great, service was attentive. The menu includes entrees, pastas as well as main courses, and a great dessert list! The wine list was reasonable, both in selection and price.

Approximate cost: $30
