Canal Boathouse - Table reservation

We liked the location but only one customer when we stepped inside. No one in the restaurant at 6 on a Thursday night? The waitress jumped up from sitting and I think sleeping, not friendly, hardly said anything. Cultural thing? Not good for making customers feel at home!We thought maybe the food would make up for it. No way. Fish and chips are both frozen and thrown into hot oil. Who can screw up a toasted Club sandwich? They can. So boring I needed more mayo to gag it down. Drinking water served warm why? . Very disappointed that we wasted our money.

I was in port colborne for canal days and wanted to go in a sit down restaurant. Should have known if there were seats available at 7:00 on a Saturday that it wouldn't be good. Plus side . Nice view, server was good and beer was cold. Negative side . Burger had no taste. Fish very tiny and both had a Handful of fries. Could be so much better. Buy better quality food and have a bigger menu and you'll get way more business. I wouldn't go back.

During Canal Days, we requested to sit at a table for a drink but were told to go upstairs. Despite only two people on the balcony and no one at the bar, the bartender seemed clueless about making drinks. The lack of decor and plain walls didn't help either. Overall, we had a negative experience and will not be returning to this establishment.

Had a fish dinner and my husband had a hamburger. Both were dry and tasteless and the waitress (or owner?) initially ignored us- only 2 other people in on a Saturday night. She acted really weird. Not going back there!
