The Loeb Boathouse Central Park

Beautiful experience with friends, family & partner. Great service. Beautiful views. Makes reservations if you can. Otherwise you'll end up waiting for hours sometimes.

This place is a tourist trap. The only reason to go is if you, or someone you're with has a Sex and the City fantasy. Wait was one hour for a table. Cocktails cost $20 each while waiting at the bar. The food was awful, really. Sat in the corner where the waitstaff congregate and had to listen to them speaking badly about the clients. One Eastern European, maybe Balkan man with a "Dumb and Dumber" haircut was the worst offender. I couldn't count the number of times he dropped the F bomb within earshot of me. This place is not even trying to excell because the owners must know that there will always be a line of dummies waiting to get in.

If you're looking for atmosphere this is good. But the experience is ruined by the servers and manager attitudes that can only be explained by people who care only about the "tip" and not treating you with reasonable courtesy.

Maybe it's a NY thing or maybe it's just get money from people. Third time is supposed to be a charm but this was a greedy losing streak! NY sucks.

Awesome View! Specially during Spring/Summer/Fall. Winter might be a little too cold.

Food is great! A little over-priced but that's NYC.

Definitely a great place to bring a date.

I know it's a touristy spot, but I can't help it... I still love it! Just be sure to make a reservation and if you are trying to sit in the outdoor bar patio area be prepared to wait... People get territorial over those seats!
