Is the Boathouse restaurant open for lunch on Saturday?

Yes it opens at 11:30 reservations only

Do they have a kids menu?

They do not

Do you take reservations?

Believe so yes, but you could probably show up no problem if you have a smaller party

How do you get served in this restaurant? We arrived @ 3 pm on 3-26-19, were sent to a table, and no one returned. We waited for a drink and lunch orders, but ended up picking up my own menu from the bar. StillSyStillno wait

I have ate there during supper time and had great service everytime

Are reservations suggested for larger lunch group, say 8 people?

I'd give it a miss. Poor service and extremely noisy. Not worth any wait.

What do they serve at the boathouse

Higher end things. Steaks, fish, amazing cocktails

Are you open for business

Yes they are open.

I had one of the best salads of my life at The Boat House. Roasted beets with fresh strawberries and a balsamic reduction that was so rich, it was heaven. Great service. Check it out!

Unique is an understatement. I enjoyed the atmosphere, the river view and the wait staff. Food was A-OK. Only reason not a 5 is that on the enclosed patio area there was no conditioning or fan and about a 72 degree due point. On the plus side, the windows were open and there as a small breeze. :)I recommend that you give it a try!

What can I say! Mind blowing amazing tasty drinks I've never heard of while agonizing on how to decide what to order. Each selection sounded better than the last. We had to all agree to order different entrees and share. Wow, everything tasted incredible. Can't wait to go back

This is a really nice restaurant, located right on the Mississippi River. The views are amazing. It's the only restaurant still in operation on the river in Winona. The handcrafted cocktails are delicious, the cheese curds are the best. They are cooked in an amazing tasting garlic oil.

The Boat House is awesome! I love the vibe and atmosphere, and the natural lighting is beautiful. The food is super fresh and so so delicious. The Bloody Mary is by far the BEST Bloody Mary I have ever had! I’m originally from Chicago and credit myself as a foodie, and I promise this place will not disappoint.

Ordered the pasta from the daily special. It was so flipping salty I could only take 2 bites. The server brought something else but I still had to pay 1/2 price. The second dish wasnt the best either but filled the void. The fish tacos are great but how do you screw up.fish tacos? 2 visits in a row that were disapointing.

Great food and service. They need more servers; the superwoman who was working on the weekend was doing the bar, the main room and the second room alone on Superbowl Sunday. I'll be back.

What an awesome atmosphere and view of the river! Thats about the only good thing I can say about this restaurant. The service was awful. Our server was one of the rudest women I have ever met. In the middle of our order she decided that she needed to go get change for the people next to us and just walked away. She then proceeded to close out yet another table and then move on to a new table that already had their drinks. When we left i truly believe she was clueless as to why we left. Management was not much better. Really sorry the experience was so poor as it really is a nice place. Perhaps we will give it one more shot hoping for a better experience.

Have been there about 4 times. Food is good, nothing spectacular. Prices fair. Unfortunately each time we've been there has been at "peak" hours. Servers are polite but simply not enough of them at peak hours to provide attentive service, so service has been very poor each time. Getting a drink from the bar even worse. Not that many places to choose from in Winona. Don't go at peak hours.

Worst steakhouse ever!! Service was atrocious. We were there an hour before our food came, then the order was wrong, waited for the correction, by that time we were done eating. Turned the correction down and asked for an adjustment on my bill. Steak was partially edible. Only one salad dressing was available and it tasted like raw vinegar. The wine was good.

What a shique little restaurant! The Boat House is a tiny gem in Winona. The menu is a step up, and the views are amazing. The servers are thoughtful but sometimes find it hard to keep up. They sometimes run out of items on the menu, but it is amazing what they can do with such a small kitchen.

The food was really good the service was phenomenal but the prices are high for Winona. I really enjoyed it a lot I just hope Winona will support it. We seem to have a real problem with supporting fine dining restaurants.

When the restrooms are accessible only from the outside on a 30-degree day, it’s hard to land a five-star review. Food was ok and the fries kind of felt a little over-fried.

Great place to go in Winona. It’s on the river and the food is very good. Mostly standard steakhouse fare with just enough flavor to be interesting. Seething is limited so off peak is recommended.
