    It’s Now Called Boatyard

    I had lunch there today with my dog. I gave them 5 bones because the waitress brought out water bowls for my dog and also the dog at the table beside me. The Turkey Cobb Sandwich with Cole Slaw was delicious.

    It Is Now Names “Boatyard”

    There is a recent review that stated the restaurant is not pet friendly. I talked to the staff and they said the deck is always open to dogs and the inside restaurant is only open to service dogs. Now on to the food and service. We were greeted and seated almost immediately. We were lucky there is generally a wait. Our server Karen was excellent and one of the first things she did was get the dog ice water! Our food was excellent with a beautiful view on the canal and boat traffic. The bread is $5 and we had it for dessert. Yum

    No dogs

    Check... I was there 3 months ago and they said NO dogs, turned a man and his pooch away. It’s not the same restaurant from years ago. Only called Boatyard now and very upscale. I’ve not seen a non service animal there in a year.

    Ask for wait staff that are not afraid of dogs

    I like this place and the food, but our waitress was afraid of dogs. It must be awful to work in a place that touts itself as pet friendly if someone is terrified of dogs. Anyhow we worked with her but again... make sure you ask before you're seated in her section!
